O/T Deacon Blue - Dignity
Re: O/T Deacon Blue - Dignity
It is s good song, great lyrics. They wrote some tidy stuff. I'd put them in the same bracket as prefab sprout and the blue Nile, although a little more commercial in my opinion. Paddy mcaloon of prefab sprout was streets ahead in my opinion, especially with his song writing.He wrote some fantastic songs. Very underated.
Re: O/T Deacon Blue - Dignity
The Blue Nile- great band, probably one of the best ever to come out of Scotland. Tinseltown In The Rain an all time classic track. Paul Buchanan has one of the best voices I’ve ever heard.

Paddy Mcaloon is indeed an underrated songwriter. He’s fantastic.

Had The Blue Nile on this week, their first two records are great. Prefab Sprout have a ton of top tunes, class band.
Later era Paddy McAloon stuff is tidy too. If you’ve got 20mins spare I’d recommend giving this a go: https://youtu.be/1bSPNboKCzM

His best in my opinion
Life's not complete till your hearts missed a beat
And you will never get it back
Or turn back the clock
Fabulous melody and lyrics

Fantastic tune. Listen to it often. In fact, I'm going to listen to it right right now.

Absolutely made up that there are fellow sprout fans on here. I liked them when i was a kid, they didn't translate that well commercially, took plenty of stick from my mates :hehe: How about 'All The World Loves Lovers'

I think he's better now. The albums were recently re-released and was talking about them, seemed in relatively fine fettle. Supposedly a new album on the horizon too, although these days, perhaps understandably, they seem a bit more thrown together/lacking in his earlier perfectionism. Steve McQueen still my favourite album by anyone.

Third album really good too. Fourth was poor IMO, although it was well received, so that might just be me.

That album is in my top 10 ever, probably top 5. What was it called over there?
Re: O/T Deacon Blue - Dignity
Always thought Deacon Blue were a bit twee, but I agree that Dignity is a great song. Agree with the comments about Prefab Sprout in this thread as well.
Re: O/T Deacon Blue - Dignity
I am sure I have tickets to see them . (Cancelled through covid)
Thought I had missed the gig.

The Blue Nile made two especially good albums, still sound like they were made yesterday.
