If You Took Your Love Away

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    One of the great pleasures of this job is the chance to get to know, and work with different people. The album was recorded at Les MacPherson's Near Field studio, in Evanton, North of Inverness in March 2011. Les is one of these people I'd never met before, and we had a great time making the album. Paul Eastham, who kindly did all the keyboard parts for me is another. A great musician and, despite living at opposite ends of the country, thanks to modern technology, managed to get everything done quickly and easily. Andy Murray, my old sparring partner from Wolfstone played some great guitar and bass parts, Les did percussion, and my wife Linda added some vocals and voice overs.

    I'd like to say a huge thank you to all the people above, to Les and his wife Margaret for their great hospitality, to my sister Isabel for not questioning our frequent visits and long stays. A huge thank you also to John Boocock and his wife Julia for all their help and kindness, without which the album may never have seen the light of day.

    We hope you enjoy it, Bless The Wind!

    Ivan

about

Thought I might put this forward as Orkney's entry for the Eurovision song contest!

lyrics

If you took your love away
Would I find you, find you on another day?
And, if you ran a mile from me
Would you listen, listen to what I say?

And, if the sun fell down
Would you smile, would you smile or would you frown?
Would you go or would you stay?
Would you still, would you still come back this way?

If I walked a thousand miles
Would I find you, would I find you waiting?
And if I stopped and looked for you
Would you hear then, hear just what I'm saying?

If you cared the way I do
Could we share a dream and see it through?
If the night was cold and grey
Would you help me find another way?

And if I asked you one more time
And I hoped, I hoped the sun would shine
Only time would answer then
Is this love, or am I blind?
