Chris Rea - Nothing Left Behind (2017)

The album, "Road Songs For Lovers", continues Rea’s obsession with travel and motion and includes songs with titles such as Happy On The Road, The Road Ahead, The Last Train as well as Road Songs For Lovers itself.

As the title suggests, Rea is on familiar ground once again, but his fans won’t be complaining. After all, the scenery on any road trip is an endless vista of observations and speculations, and Rea’s lyrics can evoke both with consummate ease, drawing you closer as the album progresses.

The musical class on this record is, of course, a given.

Road Songs For Lovers, the 27th chart LP of the 66-year-old's career, sold 6,865 copies in its first week of sale to chart at No.11.

Road Songs For Lovers was recorded at Metropolis Studios earlier this year.

Lyrics:

I'm going way past tomorrow
Way past yesterday
Away from all my sorrows

Till the chains in love fall away
I'm gonna go so far
Till my senses lose
All traces, space and time
Going so far ahead
Till there's nothing left behind

I got a big blue sky ahead
I'm always looking for a brand new day
The night brings the red tail lights
Feel the chains of love fall away

I'm gonna go so far
'Til my sense is lose
All trace of space and time
Going so far ahead
Till there's nothing left behind

Gonna sit on the high wind
Gonna let myself go
Gonna fly till there's nothing
Nothing left below
Gonna drive through this dark night
Till tomorrow becomes today
Till my mirrors got the sunrise
Till the blue sky kills the grey
Till there's nothing left behind

Gonna go so far
Till my senses lose
All traces, space and time
Going so far ahead
Till there's nothing
Nothing left behind
Going so far ahead
Till there's nothing left behind
Till there's nothing left behind
Ooh, yeah...
