Alguém escreveu, "um grupo sub-valorizado de forma criminosa".
Outro alguém escreveu, "a melhor voz masculina da actualidade".
Os Hue and Cry não tinham (ou têm) apenas um vocalista fenomenal. Tinham também - e isso sim, tinham mais do que hoje têm - uma capacidade prodigiosa para construir canções absolutamente memoráveis, com letras inteligentes que ainda hoje convidam à reflexão.
"Just Say You Love Me" pode não ser a melhor canção de amor de sempre, mas é definitivamente uma canção memorável.

Violently (Your Words Hit Me)
O original, para quem não conhece ou se lembra, é este, apenas mais outro momento brilhante do imaculado álbum de 1988, "Remote".
E aqui uma versão alternativa, de 1994, piano e voz. Simplesmente um espanto de interpretação vocal.
Apenas isso.

Ordinary Angel (Flying as high as I can...)
Pat e Greg Kane, foram estes os dois irmãos escoceses que deram origem a um dos melhores grupos pop de sempre.
"The fame and the fortune wasn't the driving force for us. We intellectualized and worried about music a bit more than most of the bands did" - Greg Kane
Aquilo de que aqui se fala é um pouco de todos nós, "(...) ordinary angels, Winning tiny victories, And though the ordinary angels fly, Their wings weigh heavily".
Também isso me faz , passados todos estes anos, continuar a gostar deles.
Hue and Cry - Ordinary Angel
I got the card, delivers the goods
Fills me with happiness
It's joy for a while 'till the first of the month
Then I'm chasing my tail again
I want a life that's bigger than me
'Cause I'm crushing myself to death
Tell you what I don't need
No heaven sent deity
'Cause I'm an ordinary angel
Winning tiny victories
And though the ordinary angels fly
Their wings weigh heavily
I try to be a daily genius
There's no idea beyond my reach
With all the angels and the geniuses
My company I'm gonna keep
I'm watching the news and I feel my face
Hanging like plasticene
Now I see the plot, I've got the plan
Every move is transparent to me
Profit and power's turning the world
And I'm leaning against the spin
Give me a vision please
And I don't mean heavenly
I'm an ordinary angel
Winning tiny victories
And though the ordinary angels fly
Their wings weigh heavily
I try to be a daily genius
There's no idea beyond my reach
With all the angels and the geniuses
My company I'm gonna keep
I want a life that's bigger than me
'Cause I'm crushing myself to death
Give me a vision please
And I don't mean heavenly
I am an ordinary angel
I am an ordinary angel child
Walking with the daily geniuses
I am an ordinary angel
Flying as high as I can...
