What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Pauls fourteenth album since the breakup and the first not to achieve at least gold status in the U.S. Not so in the himeland though where the album reached #8. Only a #30 here. Love the cover, like the album. Two standout tracks for me of Footprints and Only Love Remains. However Absurd is the only bad track. Guesting on the album are Pete Townshend, Phil Collins, and 10cc's Eric Stewart who also gets some co-writing credits. Surprised at the lack of Linda's presence here. Think she gets one backing vocal credit. Three different singles failed to have an impact. Re-issues have included five additional tracks bot to be found on my vinyl. Not even hidden tracks, which are hard to hide on vinyl. Them grooves stand out.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - However Absurd

Best Track - Only Love Remains

And If You Take Your Love Away From Me,
I'm Only Going To Want It Back.
I'll Probably Pretend I Didn't See,
But Knowing Me, I'll Want You Back Again, And Again,
'Til The Word Has Lost It's Meaning,
And Love Is All That Stays. Only Love Remains.
If You Should Ever Feel That Something's Wrong,
I'm Going To Want To Put It Right,
To Bring A Happy Ending To Our Song,
I'll Carry On Believing In A Love.
If Your Love Was To Trickle Through My Fingers,
What Would It Leave Me With?
Only Love Remains. Only Love...
Old Enough And Strong Enough To Stretcch Across The World.
Taking The Sand Inside An Oyster, Changing It Into A Pearl.
Making Another Magig Transformation,
Find The Right Boy For The Right Girl.
When All Our Friends Have Gone Away And We're Alone,
There's Nothing Left To Show About,
Together We'll Explore The Great Unknown.
I'd Say We Won't Be Going Out Tonight,
Let Tonight Be The One That We Remember,
Hen Love Is All That Stays,
Only Love Remains... Only Love Remains...
