about

This song provided a perfect opportunity for Hugh to display his talents on the flute, the only time to date that this instrument has been used on a Whisky Priests song. The blend between this, the fiddle and the accordion works to tremendous effect. With its romantic, atmospheric lilt, Chuck reckons this is a potential T.V. or movie theme (any offers?!)

This is one person's appeal to a loved one to relax and learn to communicate more openly and live a little, to make the most of life, the most basic of gifts, short and painful though it may be, instead of wasting it through blind obsession and over-stress. The speaker is telling the listener to 'listen' and remember all the good times had and the good things still to be had in life and, above all, 'Think Positive!' - (surely a lesson for us all?!)

(Taken from The Whisky Priests April 1998 Newsletter)

lyrics

WHEREVER YOU GO

Tell me what you're thinking, open your heart
Let me into your world
Those magnificent mansions buried deep in your mind
Hold treasures so precious don't lock them inside

I can recall every moment we've shared
When we walked on the beach in the cool night air
When you taught me the names of the stars in the sky
And sparked an unending fire in my life

But time is precious and life is too short
One shot at happiness may be all that is ours
So grab it, treasure it, never let go
And keep it with you wherever you go
And I will be with you wherever you go

Don't hate me for taking up your precious time
Or spend it as though living's a crime
If I owned all your dreams I would give them to you
For I love you

But time is precious and life is too short
A gift we must learn to appreciate more
So grab it, treasure it, never let go
And keep it with you wherever you go
And I will be with you wherever you go

(Gary Miller)
