962-Big Country-Fields of Fire
1983-Number 10 single.
Best Bit-At 2.00.But I would commute 400 miles, and I would commute 400 more. It appears that some Scottish bands do enjoy travelling.
Big Country were formed in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland, in 1981, by Stuart Adamson (1958-2001,) (vocals,) Bruce Watson (guitar,) Tony Butler (bass,) and Mark Brzezicki (drums,) all four receive writing credits on this track.The songs producer Steve Lillywhite has many of his song productions listed throughout this countdown.
‘Fields of Fire’ was originally titled ‘400 Miles’ as it was written when Adamson, and Watson were taking regular trips from Edinburgh to London, the distance between both cities is approximately 400 miles. Adamson has said that the song wasn’t to tell a coherent story,’It’s a selection of images, thoughts on a train journey.’
Before forming Big Country, Adamson had already achieved great success with the Punk Rock band the Skids, but left due to musical differences.During his lifetime he suffered from Alcohol dependency, and depression, he took his own life on the 16th December, 2001.He was once described by the influential DJ John Peel as ‘The new Jimi Hendrix,’ and U2’s The Edge stated that Adamson, with Big Country had written the songs that he wished U2 could write.
‘Between a father and a son, between the city and the one.’
