Customer Reviews for Flying Colours
Continues the pop flavor of Into the Light
Rating:
Flying Colors has continuity with de Burgh's previous album, Into the Light. His commercial breakthrough had come in a huge way with "Lady in Red" and Chris was obviously comfortable writing radio-friendly songs that were in this vein. This album boasted at least three hit singles, "Sailing Away", "Missing You" and "Tender Hands." "Sailing Away" is especially catchy. They are all good pop songs, but they are not the only good songs on this album. "Carry Me" is also a lovely song and I like the ballad "Just a Word Away." "A Night on the River" reminds me of Dire Straits and "The Last Time I Cried" is a nice song to end the album.
Chris also revisits Christian themes on this album, something I last recall he did on Crusader, but more so on Spanish Train and Other Stories. "The Simple Truth (A Child is Born)" and "The Risen Lord" are quite explicit in their references. I appreciate this about Chris - he was not shy about his faith even though he expressed the Christ story in allegory: "Just Another Poor Boy," and "A Spaceman Came Travelling."
Customer Reviews for Flying Colours Cd
Passes with "Flying Colours"
Rating:
I first heard this album when I was about 5 and I loved it. This was one of the first I heard from him. Sailing Away became one of my faveourite songs by him. Now at 17 and I still listen to his music. I can't put the CD's down.
I recently ordered 5 of his CD's...and they all sound great.
He has brought out at least 15 albums, all with different themes to them.
The Love Songs was one of the greatest, with So Beautiful as my fave song.
In my opinion, you should all get all of his CD's. May cost a bit of [money] but it's worth it.
