Reseña
El álbum On the Beach, de 1986, es la quintaesencia del sonido que definió a Chris Rea durante la segunda mitad de los 80: un soft rock sofisticado, con influencias del jazz y una atmósfera veraniega y mediterránea. Por lo tanto, como su título indica, el disco es la banda sonora perfecta para un atardecer en la playa. De hecho, este trabajo fue un éxito rotundo en toda Europa y consolidó su imagen de crooner de voz rasgada.
En consecuencia, la producción del álbum es suave y elegante, con un uso prominente de teclados atmosféricos, bajos sin trastes y guitarras limpias con eco. La canción que da título al disco, "On the Beach", es un clásico inmortal, una pieza de una belleza melancólica que evoca una sensación de paz y nostalgia.
Además, el álbum también incluye el éxito "It's All Gone", que muestra su faceta más rítmica y pop. Como resultado, el disco es increíblemente coherente y de una escucha muy agradable, un trabajo que fluye con una naturalidad asombrosa.
Por otro lado, la voz de Chris Rea suena más relajada y cercana que nunca, susurrando las letras con su característico tono grave. En resumen, 'On the Beach' es una de sus obras más queridas y definitorias, un clásico del pop adulto contemporáneo que ha envejecido con una elegancia exquisita.

[X]letra de On the Beach
Between the eyes of love I call your name
Behind those guarded walls I used to go
Upon a summer wind there's a certain melody
Takes me back to the place that I know
On the beach, yeah yeah
Down on the beach
The secrets of the summer I will keep
The sands of time will blow a mystery
No-one but you and I
Underneath that moonlit sky
Take me back to the place that I know
On the beach, yeah yeah
Oh, down on the beach
Yeah down on the beach
On the beach, yeah yeah
Forever in my dreams my heart will be
Hanging on to this sweet memory
A day of strange desire
And a night that burned like fire
Take me back to the place that I know
On the beach, yeah yeah
Oh, down on the beach
Yeah down on the beach
On the beach, yeah yeah - Little Blonde PlaitsVer letra 4:17
[X]letra de Little Blonde Plaits
Sweet September, I remember
Eyes of August deepest blue
While the lazy town was sleeping
Strangest love that I ever knew
Feel the wind blow, see the shadows
Kiss the breeze of a sudden shore
Of my life's loves and fascinations
The only one who left me wanting more
Little blonde plaits
Drink to you love, drink to me love
Sun burned feet on a dusty track
Evening waves that turned in twilight
Caught forever those little blonde plaits - GivernyVer letra 5:39
[X]letra de Giverny
Deep inside these old dusty walls
There's a sacred heart, I'd know this garden anywhere
She was warm, she was deep summertime
She was love itself and she was standing there
Standing close, so close to me
I closed my eyes and I could see
Giverny
And in this strange and holy place
I looked for love and found it everywhere
It was what you saw she came to see
Because of you she was standing there
Giverny
Books may burn and rain may fall
But what is here I know will last forever more
Colours change, there are no defines
She was love itself and I thank you for giving me
Giverny - Lucky DayVer letra 3:57
[X]letra de Lucky Day
A little bit of daylight shine on your pillow
Come through your window pane
Speak of the morning, hope is eternal
Better to look at it this way
This could be my lucky day
A glass filled with crystals, six million rainbows
Gifted to see with children's eyes
Always a small chance shooting that rainbow
Bless this dawn with sweet surprise
This could be my lucky day
No inhibitions, naive forever
Better looking up than looking down
Don't try to beat it, twist and defeat it
Leave those kind of complications never to be found
This could be my lucky day - Just Passing ThroughVer letra 5:20
[X]letra de Just Passing Through
Soldiers of fortune lost in the wind
No destinations and nothing to win
Keep your head above the water, you get dirty and mean
Scrubbing forever and you never come clean
A life that is easy, a dream that comes true
Flowers for someone but they sure ain't for me
Your room's filled with soft light, safe and secure
Mine is the dark night and nothing's for sure
We're just passing trough
A life that is easy, a dream to be free
Flowers for someone but they sure ain't for you
And they sure ain't for me
We're just passing trough - It's All Gone 7:28
- Hello FriendVer letra 4:19
[X]letra de Hello Friend
Hello friend, where you been so long?
Time goes by, so easy it sleeps away
Just like a shadow at the end of the day
Hello friend, how are things for you these days?
Some guy from way-back-when, he mentioned your name
Did he ever get back to you?
Ah, you know I told him to
Sometimes I turn and I swear I hear you call
And I often wonder how we lost what we knew
Seems it gone in the wind, washed away in the rain
And the years go by and by
The bridges you burned, long sinced turned into ashes
When there were no reasons, now the river runs dry
Seems it gone in the wind, washed away in the rain
And the years go by and by
Where you been so long - Two RoadsVer letra 3:44
[X]letra de Two Roads
Ain't it funny how you never can tell
It always seems to hit you when it's going so well
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
Now it's lawyers-at-midnight and the learning begins
Let's take a walk outside in the morning sun
Here ain't working out no battles to be won
Oh darling take a look at you and me
We both love our freedom and we'll always be
Two roads
You can wait a lifetime for the hammer to fall
Some folks get lucky they don't see it at all
We were bound to drift away from the very first day one
Two different journeys and neither was wrong
Let's take a walk outside in the morning sun
Here ain't working out no battles to be won
Oh darling take a look at you and me
We both love our freedom and we'll always be
Two roads
Two different lifetimes we just happened to meet
Traded some good times on the corner of the street
We were no more than strangers attracted to one
And the same sense of freedom but we'll always be on
Two roads - Light of HopeVer letra 4:34
[X]letra de Light of Hope
This is the garden that I know
Ten thousand summers wait me here
You lead and I will follow
Your heart is mine tomorrow
Into your womb I fade away
And while she laughs
Your pride is turning into snow
And melting on the face of this light of hope
Shine on, light of hope
Light of hope
And while she laughs
Your pride is turning into snow
And dancing on the graves of what you thought you used to know
And in this garden I will burn my callous robes
And forever love my darling
Light of hope - Auf Immer und EwigVer letra 4:11
[X]letra de Auf Immer und Ewig
No sunny day, no sky of blue
Just a pale moon on the wings of the wind
No diamond rings, no pretty dreams
Two people caught in chains of each other
And there was no other way
This was how it was to be
The flame will haunt you constantly
There'll never be a day
Auf immer und ewig?
Auf immer und ewig? - FreewayVer letra 4:12
[X]letra de Freeway
She throws her hair into the February breeze
She hears it singing through the branches of the trees
A song of something you know so well
And she's still looking for a freeway
She hears the sound of distant planes across the sky
She catches fleeting glimpse of fading red tail lights
Into tomorrow she gently sleeps
And she's still dreaming of a freeway
Far away, there's a piece of luck somewhere
Shining like a star in the night
Dream on lady, till the early morning light
Takes your dream to be free away - Bless Them All 2:30
- Crack That MouldVer letra 4:34
[X]letra de Crack That Mould
You got to break the back of the mould you were made in
Crack the shell, that's how it's got to be
Nothing for certain, ain't no way of knowing
Only believe in things that you see
Flow with the river, run with the tide
Mix with your brother, 'cos he's right by your side
Crack that mould
Little pretty chicken you can't stay in there forever
Now there ain't no such thing as only one kind of weather
You got to bend, learn, take the rough with the smooth
Understand everything
Crack that mould
Now there ain't no such thing as only one kind of weather
Pick up them shoes, go running down that road
You know that precondition is such a heavy load
You got to live love, put down that written word
Crack that mould
Now there ain't no such thing as only one kind of weather
