Bright Blue

Discography

Singles:

• Window On The World (1984) Jive Wire
  
  
• Weeping SA song of the century/
  Yesterday Night (1987) Blue Records, BLU 1

  I never hear 'Weeping' without being moved by the song, it has such power. I'm an English teacher here in Texas and used the song as an introduction to reading Cry the Beloved Country. My students were also impressed with the power and meaning of the song.

  To Be There (1989) EMI, EMIJ 4053417
  
  
• Open Your Eyes (EP) (1996):
  1.Wouldn't Miss It For The World
  2.Open Your Eyes
  3.Peace Train
  

  The Blue are back and in great form. This three song CD single is hopefully a taster off a new album, but still a thing of beauty and value. The single 'Wouldn't Miss It For The World' is not only a great song but should have done the business as either a better national anthem or at minimum the new constitution song. Singing obviously about being part/past, present and now in the future of our wild and cool new democratic country, "You know I wouldn't miss it for the world, you know I've been waiting...." The other two songs are reasonable in this company, but its a good addition to your cd singles pile. Very bright!
