Chris Rea - Love’s Strange Ways from the Album “Water Sign“ and from the UK Vinyl, 7“, 45 RPM “Love’s Strange Ways“ b/w “Smile“
“Water Sign“ is the fifth studio album by Chris Rea, released in 1983. It was one of the best-known albums by Chris Rea. I Can Hear Your Heartbeat was the most well-known song on the album.
“Love’s Strange Ways“ original music soundtrack featured in the film, “Cross Country“ (1983) by Chris Rea.
There is an extremely interesting history to this album: When Rea approached the record company with his demo’s for his latest album project - ’Water sign’ - they showed very little interest at all... Eventually, the record company agreed to release it AS IS and didn’t promote the album at all. Rea actually said in interviews that after this album he considered packing the whole thing in and going to work in the family ice cream business! What you are hearing on this album is a rare ’peek’ into Rea’s music BEFORE the studio producers got to it. There is a reason why Chris gets the credits as the main musician on this album: It’s a DEMO album, recorded by him! For pure interest value alone, it’s a worthy addition to your Rea catalogue. However, that’s not to say that the music on this album ISN’T worth listening to-it most certainly is.
The oh-so-beautiful Nothings Happening By Sea - gorgeous in it’s laid back simplicity... Simply brilliant stuff... The record company is probably kicking themselves!!!

Lyrics:
When passion shines her blinding light on you
You know my friend there’s nothing that you can really do
Just follow on behind her veil of deepest purple haze
Down, to love’s strange ways
Drowning in her laughter as you go
Intoxicating laughter that spins you high and low
Dangerous times are these, but oh so wonderfully new
Laugh along you fool, can’t you see they’re laughing at you
Lost in the haze
Of love’s strange ways
Ain’t it funny how it turns
When it’s all over, nothing’s learned
Just a passion and a fool
And a memory that burns
And that’s what you get
When you play with love’s strange ways...
“Странные пути любви“ Перевод: Когда страсть сияет, её ослепительный свет на вас
Вы знаете, мой друг, там нет ничего, что вы можете реально сделать
Просто следуйте дальше за её завесой глубокой, пурпурной дымки
Вниз, любить - странный путь
Утопая в её смехе, как вы идёте
Пьянящий смех, который крутит вас, высокий и низкий
Опасные времена это, но, о, столь удивительно новые
Смейтесь вместе, дурак, неужели ты не видишь, что они смеются над вами
Потерялся в тумане
В странных путях любви
Разве это не смешно, как это получается
Когда это не всё кончено, ничего не узнал
Только страсть и дурь
И память, которая сжигает
И вот, что вы получите
Когда вы играете странными путями любви ...
