King of the Beach
Reseña
El álbum King of the Beach, del año 2000, marca un regreso de Chris Rea a un sonido más luminoso, relajado y accesible, tras la experimentación de su anterior trabajo. Por lo tanto, como su título sugiere, el disco recupera la atmósfera veraniega y mediterránea de su exitoso álbum 'On the Beach'. De hecho, es una colección de canciones de pop-rock sofisticado con influencias del blues y el jazz suave.
En consecuencia, la producción es cálida y soleada, con un sonido orgánico que evoca paisajes costeros. La guitarra de Chris Rea vuelve a ser la protagonista, con sus características melodías de slide y sus fraseos elegantes. Como resultado, el álbum es de una escucha muy agradable y confortable.
Además, el disco contiene la canción que le da título, "King of the Beach", un tema con un ritmo relajado y una sensación de bienestar que se convirtió en una de las favoritas de sus seguidores. Por otro lado, el álbum fue bien recibido por la crítica, que celebró este regreso a su sonido más característico.
En definitiva, 'King of the Beach' es el sonido de un artista que se reencuentra con su esencia. Es una obra que, aunque no presenta grandes innovaciones, es un testimonio de la maestría de Chris Rea para crear la banda sonora perfecta para un verano eterno.

[X]letra de King of the Beach
Let your fighting scars heal in the sun
Of a bright windy day
Let your cold blades sleep in the sand
Till it's rusted away
Washed each night in the waves
While you sleep away each memory
And you wake to find yourself
A new king to be
Away from the dark
Moving into the light
King of the shadows
Gives up on the fight
He kicks off them shoes
Throws them away
There's nobody here now
Except this salty blue day
Out of sight
Out of reach
He's king of the beach
Whatever I was
Well I'm not that now
I tell you because
It may help you somehow
So kick off them shoes
And throw them away
Cause there's nobody here now
Except this salty blue day - All Summer LongVer letra 5:14
[X]letra de All Summer Long
All summer long we were happy we were one
We didn't think of an ending to our play
All summer long nights of wine, days of song
It couldn't last, our ageing sun had to go
I will always remember you
Watching the waves in the wind
The beach dogs hiding from the rain
Suddenly my colours have turned to grey
Will I ever see your face again
And all winter long I will walk my lonely road
Waiting for you and your return
I will always remember you - Sail AwayVer letra 4:48
[X]letra de Sail Away
Walk a cold thin line
In the morning
Hold the fear inside
That greets you with the day
I cant go with you now
I can only watch you now
Watch you, as you sail away
As you sail away
Im gonna miss you now
So much more than I realized
Theres a heavy stone of empty
Where you once laid
And I cant go with you now
I can only watch you now
(Watch you) as you sail away
Sail away
I know you need your freedom
Sail away
Cuz without it you cant survive
Be on your way
Disappear into the distance
I smile and say: Sail away
And I cant go with you now
I can only watch you now
Watch you, as you sail away
Sail away
Sail away

- Guitar StreetVer letra 4:42
[X]letra de Guitar Street
There's a crazy sense of duty
As he licks between his fingers
Wipes the ketchup from his face and hands
There's a strong determination
That his teachers never witnessed
Never close enough to understand
He's like a bull just bred for fighting
He don't deliver nothing
Outside the only thing that he knows
School report just says he's lazy
His brother says he's crazy
But take a look 'cos there he goes
Through the avenues of fashion
To the palaces of dreams
All the way down Guitar Street
To some guitars are hot-rods
All along the quest for macho
To others a would-be ticket out of town
For Joe a six-string sten gun
In the 'Panto-revolution'
And Stevie's all just strictly sound
He's like a bull just bred for fighting
He don't deliver nothing
Outside the only thing that he knows
School report just says he's lazy
His brother says he's crazy
But anyway take a look 'cos there he goes
Through the avenues of fashion
To the palaces of dreams

Sandwriting.
Leave your name
And let the wind and high tide
Take it away.
Each white gold grain,
That mad eup your name
Take it away.
Sandwriting.
Write your lovers monogram
Upon the cool damp white gold grain
Say this is who i am
Yeah this is all you are my friend
Some shapes upon the sand
The white gold grain
Washed and blown away
With the memory of your name
Take it away
Go tell a story to the wind and sea
Whatever became of you and me?
Each letter of love that had its golden days
A lovesong without goodbye
Take it away
Sandwriting
Go tell the story to the wind and sea
Whatever became of you and me?
Each letter of love that had its golden day
A lovesong without goodbye
Take it away
