[stephaneboulay]

During the 1983 summer, I heard this song for the first time. Today, in 2022, I still Love it. Stuart Adamson, rest in Peace.

17 in 1983 when this first soared over the air ways
53 today and sounds just as original

[Funsho]

Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming!!!
This song is getting me through a tough time of losing my Dad from covid pneumonia one month ago today. I don't think I will ever be the same or feel the same again but I heard this song on the radio for the first time in many many years just a few days ago and it really spoke to me. I will always miss my Dad, but for now I will pull up my head off the floor and come up screaming!!!

What an awesome song!! 30 years later, this is so refreshing still!! This is the kind of legacy i would like to leave one day as a musician

[benmelman]

Perfect song for blazing down an open road in Wyoming or Nebraska, wind in my hair.

[TheRealForrestGeorge]

Ha

I've never seen you look like this without a reason
Another promise fallen through, another season passes by you

Shock

I never took the smile away from anybody's face
And that's a desperate way to look for someone who is still a child

In a big country, dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive

I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered

I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime

In a big country, dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive

In a big country, dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive

So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded
Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered

Shock, 1, 2

I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime

In a big country, dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive

In a big country, dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive

In a big country, dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive

Ha

Shock
