SelectivEmploymenTax I had the privilege to see Nigel Hopkins playing some of this album's songs last May 26, 2023, at Arlington Arts before the Robert Reed Sanctuary Live concert. I was very impressed. Nigel is a true musician. I always liked Chris de Burgh's voice and songs, although his lyrics are sometimes too romantic. Nigel has captured the music's essence, which makes this album a gem.
Favourite track? They are all excellent, but if I had to pick one, it would be Spaceman Came Travelling.

I was an eagle but I cannot fly, I was a lion, but I run no more, I was a river, but the river's dry, And soon the spirit is coming to take me home I've seen the sunrise in a thousand ways, I've seen the wonder of a summer storm, I've seen a mountain that touched the sky, And soon the spirit is coming to take me home Do not cry for me, I am with the stars, Do not cry for me, I am in the wind, Do not cry for me, I am with the rain, And soon the spirit is coming to take me home I have my children, I have seen them grow, I have a garden that is all the world, We come with nothing, that's how we'll go, And soon the spirit is coming to take me home Do not cry for me, I am with the sun, Do not cry for me, I am in the wind, Do not cry for me, I am with the stars, And soon the spirit is coming to take me home I was an eagle, but I cannot fly, And now the spirit has come to take me home.
