castles in the air don mclean

Agreed.
'Prime Time' is another, many of the lyrics still resonate today.

This 'Castles in the Air' is pretty good too.

think it might have been the b side to vincent?

i will not be part of her cocktail generation

ive got a dream that i want the world to share ...

beautiful ..

Originally it was a faster version but he seems to have changed to doing it slower when sung live and he brought out the slower version too.  Still good but the quicker version is the one for me.

Prefer the original quicker version than the slower one he brought out after but great song though yes.

Hardly one of his least known songs, pretty sure it was no 1 in the UK charts

This is a live version of the original quicker tempo.  Much prefer it myself.

Got that wrong knew he had a no 1 around that time it was Crying the year before

Thanks Dragon. I googled him on the back of your post and he's touring the UK next year. I've just bought a couple of tickets. No doubt past his best, but it will be good to see him.

Dragon, the Palladium. Very few tickets left for May next year. He's touring around the country and Ireland.

Just played it on RTE Gold as I opened the thread, a spooky coincidence....!
