Room with a view



	Room with a view Al Barton & Spirit of Smokie

	Come for Me Sacred Heart Highways And Heartaches Send Me An Angel My Baby's Got Storm Damage I.O.U. All Out Of Love Stay With Me Til Dawn Small Town Boy Long Way Home All Through The Night

Mit dem Album "Room with a view" erschien 2011, 16 Jahre nach Alan Bartons tragischem Unfalltod, sein musikalisches Vermächtnis. Songs, die er kurz vor seinem Tod geschrieben und aufgenommen hatte, durften nun endlich das Licht der Öffentlichkeit erblicken.

Alans Sohn Dean brauchte viele Jahre, bis er den nötigen Abstand gewonnen hatte, um sich mit dem musikalischen Erbe seines Vaters auseinandersetzen zu können. Nach der Gründung von Spirit of Smokie stand aber der Entschluss fest, dessen Vermächtnis den Fans von Smokie nicht länger vorenthalten zu wollen.

Gemeinsam mit seinen Bandkollegen bearbeitete er im Studio die Originaltakes und sie ergänzten sie mit mehrstimmigem Gesang, Saxophon, Piano, Akustik- und E-Gitarren, Mundharmonika und flotten Rhythmen.

Entstanden ist ein Album, das keinen Vergleich zu Smokies besten Alben zu scheuen braucht!


	Stay With Me Til Dawn Single-CD Stay With Me Til Dawn Baby It's You I'll Meet You At Midnight


	Im Nachgang zu der Veröffentlichung von "Room with a view" folgte eine Single in limitierter Auflage. Diese enthält neben "Stay with me til dawn" zwei grandiose neue Versionen von "Baby it's you" und "I'll meet you at midnight", die durch Spirit of Smokie neu eingespielt wurden und die große Klasse dieser Formation demonstrieren.

COME FOR ME

A passing glance across the crowded dance floor

Promissed love, than you’re turning shy

Come on lines from the guys leaving you bored

Tells me you could be mine

You could be mine

I catch your eye, again I see that long love

A sweet suggestion in your smile

I’m the one to turn you on with my intenstions

Imaginations running wild

You’re the kind of girl for me

Oh my you look so fine

I like to have you within the sheets

Tonight’s the night I make you mine

CHORUS

If you want lovin’, come for me

When you do, come for me

Let it all go, come for me

Ooh, come for me

I’m connecting with your body language

My intentions all on you

You want some lovin’ and affection

Well baby I’m here for you

Cos you’re the kind of girl for me

Oh my, you look so fine

Me and you between the sheets

Don’t rush it girl we’ve got all night.

CHORUS

Ooh yeah, come for me

Come for me

Yeah

CHORUS

SACRED HEART

You’ve captured my sacret heart, I’m taken by you

Hold on to my sacret heart ’cos this one is true

Baby I know just how you feel it’s written all over your heart

Baby I know nobody will keep this love apart

Baby if I had time again there’s nothing I’d change

Baby I know that in the end our love will remain

Darling,

Youve captured my sacred heart with all that you do

Be sure that my lovin’ arms are open for you

Be sure of my sacred heart ‘cos my heart is true

When I knew I had found a friend and I can be sure

So hard it was until the end I couldn’t once more

No one can take away this feeling inside

Cos baby love’s here to stay, yes you can rely

Darling,

Youve captured my sacred heart with all that you do

Be sure that my lovin’ arms are open for you

Be sure of my sacred heart ‘cos my heart is true

I feel so strong about you

I can’t go on without you

Don’t let there be one day

Don’t let us lose loves warm embrace

You’ve captured my sacred heart I’m taken by you

Hold on to my sacred heart ’cos this one is true

Darling,

Youve captured my sacred heart with all that you do

Be sure that my lovin’ arms are open for you

Be sure of my sacred heart ‘cos my heart is true

HIGHWAYS AND HEARTACHES

My mind drifts back to Wolfman Jack on the radio

The past is another country, baby, that’s for sure

If I’d known than what I know no, baby, I had seen

But I was wild and crazy at the age of seventeen

CHORUS

And it’s been highways and heartaches

But I guess I’ve had some good times in between

It’s been highways and heartaches

For my six string dream

When I was standing on this highway bridge at midnight

Watching tail-lights role on down the line

I’m the soul survivor of the class of ‘63

The sleepy towns – nine to five are never ment for me

CHORUS

A.Barton/A.Whelan/S.Page

SEND ME AN ANGEL

If I could find a reason to stop lovin’ you

If only my mind would reason why I’m missing you

If I had wings to fly away take me back to yesterday

Be save in your lovin' arms is where I want to stay

Send me an angel to take me to you

Send me an angel I’m still missing you

If I could find a reason why I’m missing you

If only my mind would reason why I’m missing you

If I had wings to fly away take me back to yesterday

Be save in your lovin' arms is where I want to stay

So send me an angel to take me to you

Send me an angel

Send me an angel to take me to you

Send me an angel

I’m still missing you

STORM DAMAGE

You put the arrow in my heart

You went and tore it apart

Three hundred nights have rolled by

Three thousand teardrops I’ve cried

Just when I think that I’m over you now

You knock on my door and I can’t help myself the true

I’m a fool for you ‘cos you strike like lightning

CHORUS

And my heart beats like thunder

I’m thorn and tearn and scared of a sunder

Well I can’t go on

How will I manage

When lovin’ you leaves me like storm damage

Lovin’ you leaves me like storm damage

Don’t wanna hear no excuses

Don’t wanna make no lovers truces

Don’t wanna look you in the eye

Don’t wanna see me behind the hide

‘Cos I’m better without you

I know that’s for sure

It’s just that my heart won’t believe me what I say

This time I walk away

‘Cos you strike like lightning

CHORUS 3x

You put the arrow in my heart

You went and tore it apart

J.Matthews

I.O.U.

Every time I think of you

All those things you did for me to please

Anytime I’m feeling low

You’re love real shows my heart

And I know:

You’re always there for me

I’ll be here for you

It’s written in love I.O.U.

Oooh, I.O.U.

Every time I’m near to you

There’s a closeness that we share, we care for

When I dream I dream of you

I don’t want to wake or miss

‘Cos I would miss.

All that you do for me

I want to do for you

It’s written in love I.O.U.

Oooh, I.O.U.

I want you to know that I appreciate your lovin’

And how you understand my heart

‘Cos I want you here with me

I’ll be there for you

It’s written in love I.O.U.

Oooh, I.O.U.

ALL OUT OF LOVE

Guess you’re learning how to pay the price

Up a broken heart

Now you’re livin’ in your private world

A brand new start

You thought you would find happiness

You thought you want to his caress

You’re all out of love

Don’t you give up

Don’t give into lovelessness

Yes it really was a tragedy

Love is still in his arms

Now you’re waiting by the telephone

To hear his call

You’re looking for some sympathy

But is it what you really need

You’ve got to be strong

You’ve got to hold on

Baby you’ve got to believe

Now you’re all out of love

You’re mind is mixed up

‘Cos you’re on your own baby

All out of love

Oooh, oooh

You know you can mend your broken heart

All you need is time

If you’re lookin’ for a brand new start

Than girl be mine

‘Cos girl you will find happiness

Don’t you believe in nothing less

Don’t you give in

You know you can win

I’ll show you some tenderness

Baby,

All out of love

You’re mind is mixed up

‘Cos you’re on your own baby

All out of love

Oooh, oooh

Yes girl you will find happiness

Don’t you believe in nothing less

Don’t you give in

You know you can win

I’ll show you some tenderness

Baby,

All out of love

You’re mind is mixed up

‘Cos you’re on your own baby

All out of love

Oooh, oooh…

SMALL TOWN BOY

You’re just a small town boy

With a big attitude

A new boy around

With so much to proof

Moved around so many times when you where young

Didn’t know where you was coming from

Didn’t know who you where supposed to be

You seem a lot like me

Still searching to find yourself

But you don’t know where to look

You’ve build so many walls

So misunderstood

You’re just a small town boy

With a big attitude

A new boy around

With so much to proof

Just a small town kid

Still singing the blues

A new boy around

Yet so much to lose

So you made a promise to yourself

You would be like no one else

You’d end up all your dreams you’d be

And forsake insanity

Still trying to work things out

To make the pieces fit

Don’t be so hard on yourself

And start to life

Just a small town boy

You’re just a small town boy

With a big attitude

A new boy around

With so much to proof

You’re just a small town kid

Still singing the blues

A new boy around

Yet so much to lose

A.Barton

LONG WAY HOME

This live has taken me far

So many roads I had to choose

Some win some lose

This live has been a gamble

I've played my cards close to my heart

And took my part

But somehow the mist of time washed all over me

I’ve lost what I’m supposed to be

And it’s a long way home

And I don’t know which way to go

Long way home

To travel all alone

It’s a long way home

And I don’t know which road to take

Long way home

But I'll no longer hide from my mistakes

I get so tired of dreamin’

Where is the boy that burned inside

With all his pride

This flame became a candle

So fragile with the autumn wind

The need to win

Somehow the sense of time weights heavy over me

Tell me who I’m supposed to be

Oh yeah

‘Cos it’s a long way home

And I don’t know which way to go

Long way home

To make it all alone

Yes it’s a long way home

And I don’t know which road to take

Long way home

But I'll no longer hide from my mistakes

Long way home

I don’t know which way to go

Long way home

To make it all alone

It’s a long way home

And I don’t know which way to go

Long way home

To make it all alone

Long way home

A.Barton

ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT

I’ve been comin’ round here most every night

I’ve been trying so hard to catch your eye

There’s something that I know is there

Something baby we could share

Between the sheets of night

Yes, we could take it higher

Who knows how far we can go

We’ll discover everything that all true lovers should know

I’ll gently bring out all the woman you have hidden inside

All through the night

We can ride down the beach in my car

I would lay you down under the stars, oh yeah

A summer breeze washes you and me

Gently ride into ecstasy

We can move the sky

Yes, we could take it higher

Who knows how far we can go

We’ll discover everything that all true lovers should know

I’ll gently bring out all the woman you have hidden inside

All through the night

Yes, we could take it higher

Who knows how far we can go

We’ll discover everything that all true lovers should know

Yes, we could take it higher

Who knows how far we can go

We’ll discover everything that all true lovers should know

Yes, we could take it higher

Who knows how far we can go

We’ll discover everything that all true lovers should know
