Reviews Customer Reviews for Timing Is Everything Five stars for "Lebanese Night" Rating: The song "Lebanese Night" alone is worth the price of the CD. It's a beautiful duet sung with the Lebanese pop singer Elissa. Non-Arabic speakers might miss the beauty of the lyrics that she sings in accompaniment. They translate to:
"All of my life, all I have known,
only a place where peace cannot go;
All over the world, the gift from before,
nothing is left for the children of war."
Customer Reviews for Timing Is Everything Cd A Real Mistake Rating: Chris Deburgh said in an interview that he wanted to really do something different for the "Timing Is Everything" album.
Well, he certainly did that...he made it an uneven and low on content. At least 3 of the songs are cheap ripoffs of songs that were popular on his previous album "Private Revolution". It's like he kept the music and just changed the lyrics. It sounds like an album written, produced and recorded in an hour and a half.
Chris DeBurgh is usally so good at love songs that he can take the sappiest lyrics and make them song great...but things are definitely different for this album. On this album, the love songs are absurd.
In one song, Chris Deburgh actually seems to suggest that a woman will love a man more if the man is flat broke...heck why not just say that women really go for homeless men, eh Chris? Is that absurd enough?
No wonder Chris DeBurgh releases more Greatest Hits albums these days than original ones...he is obviously out of ideas. Perhaps he should finally retire and stop embarrassing himself and his long-suffering fans.
