Ray Wilson celebrates 30 years of music (new music videos)

  • Hi

    As you might have noticed, Ray is celebrating 30 years in the music business this year. In another thread (here) I have posted the new music video for "Calling All Stations", which was produced this year. Ray has put some further new videos on YouTube to celebrate his anniversary.


    So I thought I'd post them here (not all at once) over the next few weeks.


    I start with "Millionairhead", which is the title track of the Cut_ album from 1999.

    That one contains footage from a stadium gig Cut_ did at the time supporting big German rock star Westernhagen.

    ... good things come to those who wait

  • I really like the Cut album. It had those rockier, straighter elements Ray couldn't do with Genesis and the title track is a great example (the video is nice, but hey, looks awkward to see them play in front of a stadium aufience).

  • Indeed that album was a good one - so we may see more tracks from that with a new video? Obviously "Another day" is the most popular one, my favorites are (besides the title track) "Young ones", "Hey hey" and "Gypsy".

    some are wise ... and some otherwise

  • Another track I really like is "Wake Up Your Mind" from the Stiltskin/She album.

    An interesting and good rock track. I also like the SHE album and I hope Ray will revisit that style some day.

  • So, this is "Bless me" - enhanced and restored music video. The track was a left-over from the She-album and then became the first single on "Propaganda Man"

    I also like this song a lot. The album is a mixed bag, but "Bless Me" is a good track!

    ... make tomorrow today!

    Yes, first I thought that's pretty average, but it's a grower ...


    Like this one: "Along The Way", written by Ray's brother Steve

  • been rather busy for a while - but here is another one:


    "Lemon Yellow Sun" is quite an usual track compared to the otzer tracks on "She" and the video is also from 2021.

    One of his finest pop/rock songs. Always liked this style.

    ... there's a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in

    It's a good track but it quicky became his Sussudio for me (means I can't hear it anymnore). Today I'm fine with it.

    That is actually a good pop/rock song. Thanks for sharing!

    ...

  • A rather dark horse on the "Unfulfillment" album is this track. The older it gets, the more I like it.

    I kind of rediscovered the Unfulfillment album recently. There are quite a few good tracks on that record, including this one.

  • “Gouranga” was always a strange one for me …


    It was a b-side but also a bonus track on “Change”.

    Today I like it more than when it came out.


    What do you think?

  • I like that.

  • ok, let's carry on ...

    Ray did a lot of cover versions over the years, and the majority of them live. On his recent album, there's a cover of the Beatles track "Golden Slumbers" and on "Song For A Friend", there's a cover of the Pink Floyd classic "High Hopes". This track also has a music video (which was produced in 2021).
