When they come on television
To tell about their loss
And the camera finds them beaten up by grief
Do you wonder that they get up every morning
And sometimes don't believe?
When you see their eyes reminded
Of another day not shared
With a child who never turned to say goodbye
Are you comforted by somebody you love
Or do you keep it down inside
Can you feel?, Can you
From every breaking dawn
Through to midnights ghostly toll
I thank him for the life
In your northern soul
Every time you cry
And sulk back to the fold
Through your misty eyes
I see your northern soul
When it's down to just page seven
Even on a slow-news day
Do you pause before you turn over the page?
And although there is no photograph
No tears on television
Do you find yourself reminded of their eyes?
Can you feel?
Can you?
At every roadside shrine
Where faded flowers console
I shudder for the life
Inside your northern soul
Every night you sleep
I'll lie down on your pillow
And I feel each steady breath
From your northern soul
When every light's gone out
And my body's tired and old
You'll keep my spirit young
With your northern soul
God every way it breaks
I'm bound to make it so
To turn all fear to love
With your northern soul
Deacon Blue è una band scozzese formatasi a Glasgow negli anni '80. Il gruppo, guidato dal talentuoso cantautore Ricky Ross, ha raggiunto il successo internazionale con il loro album di debutto *Raintown* (1987), che ha trascorso oltre 16 mesi nelle classifiche britanniche. L'album, incentrato sulla vita nell'urbanistica Scozia, ha generato tre successi top ten: "Loaded", "Chocolate Girl" e "Dignity". Il secondo album, *When The World Knows Your Name* (1989), sebbene più commerciale, non ha ricevuto lo stesso apprezzamento critico. Alcuni critici hanno accusato la band di aver ceduto al successo pop a discapito dell'integrità artistica. Nonostante ciò, il pubblico ha accolto positivamente l'album, che ha raggiunto la vetta delle classifiche britanniche e ha prodotto tre successi top forty: "Real Gone Kid", "Fergus Sings the Blues" e "Wages Day". Deacon Blue è considerata una delle band più importanti della scena musicale scozzese degli anni '80.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
