Vom etwas zu dünn geratenen Radio-Hit Cold, Cold Heart einmal abgesehen, glänzt der ehemalige Kopf von Ultravox mit stimmungsvoll arrangierten Songs zwischen Pop und Rock, mit schön geflochtenen Rhythmusteppichen, durch die sich clever eingesetzte Synthesizer-Sounds wie rote Fäden zie- hen. Ure spielt auf der Klaviatur aktueller Popmusik lässig wie kaum ein anderer, streut Afro-Chöre, Wave-Anleihen und getragene Gitarrensoli wie Puderzucker über seine hörenswerten Songs. Und bleibt dabei immer selbst.

Wohin des Weges? Etwas orientierungslos stolpert Midge Ure durch sein drittes Solo-Album. Mal versucht sich der Brite als traditionsbewußter Keltenrocker ("I See Hope In The Morning Light") - und endet prompt als Schmalspur-Bono. Dann wieder wandelt er technopoppig auf den Spuren seiner Ex-Band Ultravox ("Pure Love", "Sweet'n'Sensitive Thing") - doch auch das mag nicht so recht klappen. Zwar tönen die elf Titel nicht unangenehm, bleiben aber ohne jedes Überraschungsmoment. ** Interpret.: 03-05 ** Klang.: 06-07

I SEE HOPE IN THE MORNING LIGHT

I see hope in the morning light
I see hope in the morning light

Another long night caresses round me
Shows no pity knows no shame
To share its lifetime of endless moments
Till I can touch the light again
Everything changes, everything 'round us
Everything matters after all
Let something move me and I will follow
Not walking blind but walking tall

Where does it say that we must hide
Inside this cold divide where nothing good can grow, oh
When has a life been black and white
Where it's only wrong or right, I never felt so low

Deliver me from my sad story
I see hope in the morning light
Come to me in love and glory
I see hope in the morning light
Bringing peace and understanding
I see hope in the morning light
Emotional and undemanding
I see hope in the morning light

This heat that's growing from deep inside me
Lighted by your burning flame
But through the darkness when sleep surrounds me
I'll wake up crying out your name
There are no reasons, no lame excuses
To lock up freedom and desire
With love the power you came right through me
And turned this ember to a fire

Deliver me from my sad story
I see hope in the morning light
Come to me in love and glory
I see hope in the morning light

Where does it say that we must hide
Inside this cold divide where nothing good can grow
When has a life been black and white
Where it's only wrong or right, I never felt so low

Deliver me from my sad story
I see hope in the morning light
Come to me in love and glory
I see hope in the morning light
Bringing peace and understanding
I see hope in the morning light
Emotional and undemanding
I see hope in the morning light

Deliver me from my sad story
I see hope in the morning light
Oh, come to me in love and glory
I see hope in the morning light
Bringing peace, love and understanding
I see hope in the morning light
Emotional and undemanding
I see hope in the morning light

Oh, deliver me from my sad story
I see hope in the morning light
Come to me in love and glory
I see hope in the morning light


COLD, COLD HEART

Come stand beside me
Come gather 'round me
Come stand beside me, come gather round me
And heat this cold, cold heart

When I was just a boy
The voice of an angel came to me
It said your future is there inside your cold, cold heart
But I was just a boy
And a boy sees what he wants to see
And I saw nothing to share inside this cold, cold heart
Somebody should have told me
That when you're born to this world
Your life starts slipping away

Come stand beside me (cold heart)
Come gather 'round me (cold heart)
Come stand beside me, come gather round me
And heat this cold, cold heart
With love inside me (cold heart)
With arms around me (cold heart)
With love inside me, with arms around me
We'll heat this cold, cold heart

Oh, when I became a man
The voice of a devil said to me
It said "forever you'll live inside your cold, cold heart"
But I'm a better man
A wiser man who wants to be free
To have someone to care about this cold, cold heart
Somebody should have loved me
They should have taken me on
Instead of taking away

Come stand beside me (cold heart)
Come gather 'round me (cold heart)
Come stand beside me, come gather round me
And heat this cold, cold heart
With love inside me (cold heart)
With arms around me (cold heart)
With love inside me, with arms around me
We'll heat this cold, cold heart

Come stand beside me
Come gather 'round me
Come stand beside me, come gather round me
And heat this cold, cold heart
With love inside me (cold heart)
With arms around me (cold heart)
With love inside me, with arms around me
We'll heat this cold, cold heart

Come stand beside me (oh, oh, oh)
Come gather 'round me (oh, oh, oh)
Come stand beside me, come gather round me
And heat this cold, cold heart
With love inside me (cold heart)
With arms around me (cold heart)
With love inside me, with arms around me
We'll heat this cold, cold heart

Come stand beside me (cold heart)
Come gather 'round me (cold heart)
Come stand beside me, come gather round me
And heat this cold, cold heart


PURE LOVE

I saw a rainbow sparkle in your eyes
I bet my money on a life in paradise
Became a member of a union they called wonderland

Pure love, pure ecstacy
Takes a life from a low to an all time high

I felt the force of the feelings suck me down
And threw away all the doubts I'd kept around
And took a share of the life they sold as wonderland

Pure love, pure ecstacy
Takes a life from a low to an all time high

A tender word and a secret touch of skin
To brush away all the scars that lay within
To buy a ticket on a journey back to wonderland

Pure love, pure ecstacy
Takes a life from a low to an all time high

I lay my head on a pure and fragile heart
To feel the surge of a new and hopeful start
Oh take me back to wonderland

Pure love, pure ecstacy
Takes a life from a low to an all time high

Pure love, pure fantasy
Takes a life from a low to an all time high


SWEET 'N' SENSITIVE THING

So strange how it changes through the yeas
How sweet the memories and souvenirs
In a moment all the pieces just blew away
Lost forever

All the daydreams lay shattered by your side
All you cling to is empty love and pride
All your comfort is all the tears you cried
That echo 'round this lonely heart

I built my world around you
Dreamed of a life beside you
I laid my heart upon the ground
My sweet and sensitive thing

What price the luxuries I own
That breaks a high, a heart, a home
In a lifetime it's the only thing I achieved
Lost forever

All the sweet dreams lay shattered by my side
All I cling to is empty love and pride
All the comfort is all the tears I've cried
That echo 'round this lonely heart

I built my world around you
Dreamed of a life beside you
I laid my heart upon the ground
My sweet and sensitive thing

I built my world around you
Dreamed of a life beside you
I laid my heart upon the ground
My sweet and sensitive thing

All the daydreams lay shattered by your side
All you cling to is empty love and pride
All your comfort is all the tears you've cried
That echo 'round this lonely heart

I built my world around you
Dreamed of a life beside you
I laid my heart upon the ground
My sweet and sensitive thing

I laid a deep foundation
Displayed a new elation
I bared my soul to all the world
My sweet and sensitive thing


LET IT GO?

Once I saw a promised land
Wrapped in many shades of green
But I sat and watched the world go by
Confused by all the things I've seen
Should I stand up, say what's on my mind
Point a finger at the wrong I find
Let it linger till another time, or let it go?

I've seen forests turn to fields of sand
To satisfy a rich man's greed
Now the tears that fall upon this land
Won't help to grow a nation's needs
Should I shout out from the highest tower
Should I take it to the highest power
Show the plague that turns a whole world sour, or let it go?

I seek comfort in a sea of fools
And wrap their lies around for protection
But if lies were any answer at all
We're just adding to this world infection
Can I turn and smile and kiss it away?
Leave it lying for another day
Should I fall down on my knees and pray, or let it go?

There's a passion that destroys all the caring
And walks across the flowers of affection
Breaks them down into the soil we are sharing
And leaves us with this life of rejection
Am I strong enough to stand my ground?
Lift my head and show the strength I've found
Try to keep from hell or heaven bound
Or let it go?

Don't let it go

Should I shout out from the highest tower
Should I take it to the highest power
Show the plague that turns a whole world sour, or let it go?

Can I turn and smile and kiss it away?
Leave it lying for another day
Should I fall down on my knees and pray, or let it go?

Should I stand up, say what's on my mind
Point a finger at the wrong I find
Let it linger till another time, or let it go?


RISING

Stood on a mountain high as the sky
Watch the whole world crack apart
Feeding me, feeding me, feeding me life, oh oh
See as the dazzling light hits my eyes
And it fires up my heart
Giving me, giving me, giving me life, oh oh

Rising up in the East is our day
Pour your light in my way, oh oh
Shining out in the East, is our day
Pour your power my way, oh oh oh oh

Filled with the strongest emotions of all
As our fingertips entwine
Feeding me, feeding me, feeding me life, oh oh
Taste the embrace of the highest of highs
As your soul rejoices mine
Giving me, giving me, giving me life, oh oh

Rising up in the East is our day
Pour your light in my way, oh oh
Shining out in the East, is our day
Pour your power my way, oh oh oh

Rising up in the East is our day
Pour your light in my way, oh oh
Shining out in the East, is our day
Pour your power my way, oh oh

Rising up in the East is our day
Pour your light in my way, oh oh
Shining out in the East, is our day
Pour your power my way, oh

Rising up in the East is our day
Pour your light in my way, oh oh
Shining out in the East, is our day
Pour your power my way, oh oh oh


LIGHT IN YOUR EYES

I never noticed before
Sometimes I'd find that I'd tried to be blind to it all
But something has changed
Something quite wonderful
I see light in your eyes tonight

Could I hope anymore
'Cos never a word of affection was heard, none at all
But something has changed
Something quite wonderful
I see light in your eyes tonight

But oh, it's hard to find and hard to keep inside
Harder still to bend my foolish pride
Oh, for the way to say
The things I should say

This innocent love
Never so much as the tenderest touch, none at all
But some things must change
For something so wonderful
I see light in your eyes tonight
Light in your eyes tonight
Light in your eyes tonight

This innocent love
Never so much as the tenderest touch, none at all
But some things must change
For something so wonderful
There's light in your eyes tonight
Light in your eyes tonight
Light in your eyes tonight


LITTLE ONE

Bring me the heat that excites me
The only one, oh oh my little one
Blessed with the gifts that delight me
The only one, oh oh my little one

Making the waves that surround me
Lost in a sea of constant change
Caught in an ocean that drowns me
They come and go, these waves have carried me away
No explanation meets
The way you make me feel
I feel each time you come

Bring me the heat that excites me
The only one, oh oh my little one
Blessed with the gifts that delight me
The only one, oh oh my little one

Some days I felt so hollow
I never knew feelings ran so deep
Those days were hard to follow
They'd come and go
Like waves they'd carry me away
The memories I hold
Sad monuments to love
Tumble as you come

Bring me the heat that excites me
The only one, oh oh my little one
Blessed with the gifts that delight me
The only one, oh oh my little one

Now I seem to understand
My helplessness at your command
No one else could make me feel so alive
Now I wait to bend and yield
To the sensual world that you've revealed
Nothing else could make me feel so alive
My little one

The memories I hold
My monuments to love
Tumble as you come

Bring me the heat that excites me
The only one, oh oh my little one
Blessed with the gifts that delight me
The only one, oh oh my little one

Bring me the heat that excites me
The only one, oh oh my little one
Blessed with the gifts that delight me
The only one, oh oh my little one

Bring me the heat that excites me
The only one, oh oh my little one
Blessed with the gifts that delight me
The only one, oh oh my little one


HANDS AROUND MY HEART

Blow, you wild winds above
Breathe out your breath of love
Try to save this simple man from falling

Send your wild winds to me
To save and set me free
Try to hear the tired words I'm calling

I need delight, to feed my soul tonight
Come cradle this man torn apart
I'm waiting for your hands around my heart

Blow, blow down from where you stand
Across this loveless land
Send a ray of hope to light my fire

Over desert over sea
Let the wind blow through to me
Through to me, to lift my spirits higher

I need delight, to feed my soul tonight
Come cradle this man torn apart
I'm waiting for your hands around my heart

Blow, you wild winds above
Breathe out your breath of love
Try to save this simple man from falling

Send your wild winds to me
To save and set me free
Try to hear the tired words I'm calling

I need delight, to feed my soul tonight
Come cradle this man torn apart

I seek delight, to save my soul tonight
To comfort a man torn apart
I'm ready for your hands around my heart


WAITING DAYS

Oh no, oh no, don't deny me, oh don't deny me
These waiting days, oh these waiting days

Everyone is all alone to face the ghosts of love
Innocence becomes the stone, that shatters futures from above

Oh no, oh no, don't deny me, oh don't deny me
These waiting days, oh these waiting days

Don't dare accuse, don't dare conspire
To drown me in your lies
You feed the flames that fuel the fire
That spreads across our sheltered lives

Oh no, oh no, don't deny me, oh oh don't deny me
These waiting days, oh these waiting days

Some moments only come, then they go
Into the winds of change we watch them blow
You can't take them in your hand, but you can hold them in your heart
Through the waiting days

What price we pay, for a part we played
In a state of ignorance
A tender moment spoiled and grayed
Convicting me with no defence

Oh no, oh no, don't deny me, oh don't deny me
These waiting days, oh these waiting days

Some moments only come, then they go
Into the winds of change we watch them blow
You can't take them in your hand, but you can hold them in your heart
Through the waiting days


TUMBLING DOWN

Hands touching hands
Through a curtain that no longer stands
Sister and brother embracing each other
It's tumbling down

Light from both sides
Is changing political tides
It's turning from clashes to keepsakes and ashes
It's tumbling down

Watch as we waltz in the sand
On this no-man's land
See our world turn around
Watch it come tumbling down

And through it all
The watchtowers and garrisons fall
Machine guns and fire
The tanks and barbed wire
Come tumbling down

And in the end
Watch as we spend
These moments together
While notions forever
Come tumbling down

Watch as we waltz in the sand
On this no-man's land
See our world turn around
Watch it come tumbling down

Machine guns and fire
This concrete messiah
Comes tumbling down
