Mike Rutherford - Acting Very Strange flac album

Acting Very Strange is the second solo album by English guitarist and singer-songwriter Mike Rutherford and the only album to feature him on lead vocals. It was released on 7 September 1982. Unlike the previous album Smallcreep's Day, Acting Very Strange uses a very raw and unpolished sound.

Acting Very Strange Lyrics. If I step into the light And hold it in my hand Nothing left to see Nothing left for me, anyway I feel the world is slipping Out of reach (I'm all alone) It's a memory It's a memory that used to be. In a little while I know it'll be too late Somebody help me, please Cos you're acting very strange You're acting very strange You're acting very strange You're acting very strange. Oh, the place is getting very hot I'm afraid to stay Something's going on Something's very wrong with you and me If I reach out to touch your face There's nothing there to touch It's a memory It's a memory of you and me. In a little while I know it'll be too late Now I'm certain That you're acting very strange You're acting very strange You're acting very strange You're acting very strange.

Mike Rutherford utilizes a lot of guitars on this album, and it's very evident from the get go on this piece. Pretty solid and punchy opener. Time and Time Again is a piano based ballad that has some passionate voals from McCalla.

We went out and did the whole double album before it was released. The first show was in Chicago and they'd never heard it. When it worked, it was really good. After the fiasco of Acting Very Strange, Rutherford realized he needed to recruit quality vocalists to sing his tunes. He wound up with Paul Carrack and Paul Young, and in 1985 they had huge hits with "All I Need Is a Miracle" and "Silent Running. Three years later they did it again with "The Living Years," which was inspired by the death of songwriter . Robertson's father as well as the loss of Rutherford's own father.

Mike Rutherford, the "Mike" of Mike + The Mechanics, wrote this song with the Scottish musician . Robertson, his frequent collaborator. It was really about time travel," Rutherford said in a Songfacts interview. The story is about the idea that this father of the family is ahead in time, so he can look back and see what's going to happen in England, and it's not good. This was the first Mike + The Mechanics single. Rutherford formed the group when Genesis took a break in 1984. He had released two solo albums that were well received in the UK, but decided he was better off as part of a band with someone else singing lead. The album version runs 6:10; the single was cut down to 4:10. The video was directed by Jim Yukich, who did most of the Genesis videos. It incorporates footage from the movie in which it was used (Choke Canyon) but has its own storyline, complete with dialog.
