My Dad showed me this Song like when i was 4 years old and since then, this is probably the Song of my life. I have so Many memorys with this. It never gets boring. A real Masterpiece🤍
There he sits Drawing images on the causeway With small bits of chalk He sketches all the lost days And the rain keeps coming down Wipes them from the ground And the rain keeps coming down Watching his life drown Dashing past The people circle around him With a laugh A bottle must have drowned him And the rain keeps coming down Wipes them from the ground And the rain keeps coming down Change his smiles to frowns None…
In 1980 I answered a question on a radio Station in Winnipeg, MB the contest question had nothing to do with Saga, but the prize was this album. I had never heard of them before I won this record. This turned out to be one of my favorites of all time.
Maybe you had to live in Puerto Rico and have a wonderful station like Alfa Rock 105 (RIP) to have known this tune at its time! I got to see these guys on this tour (or maybe the next one). Awesome is a poor word to describe these guys live at this time. I thank God for having this experience.
I was introduced to SAGA by my future wife back in 1988. They quickly became my all time favorite group. But, I only listen to the first three albums...full of imagination and wonder.
I was listening to this song on my headphones during a train ride and let me tell you, it fit PERFECTLY. I can't explain it, just the combo of the instrumentation and the scenery that passed by just stirred something in me.
❤ Canadian rock from the 70s and early 80s. It's mostly Rush people will always go on about, but you had a ton of good stuff coming out around that time.
SAGA's trademark bombastic midtempo keyboard part from 3:40 is nothing short of genius. I'm in my 50s, SAGA's Worlds Apart was the first record I fell in love with.
SO many associations among most of SAGA-hits (lyrics) to your own life + their music is,- what makes them SO GREAT + their Fan-contact always very deep
great piece of music, this brings back so many memories from days gone by. I was lucky enough to see Saga in London in the late 70s, they were support band for Styx. I must let you know that they got the best standing ovation for a support band that i have ever seen, they blew Styx out of the hall that night. They played this piece and i rushed out the next day to buy the album, thanks for posting this piece of music up.
Passion flower,.. blows in the breeze...Petals fall to the ground.. Colour and beauty in the winds...,Dandilions all around,.. Suns and moons shadow the haze, ...Just listen to the music,...and close your eyes to the days..................
Wow this is good. Saw to them just a week ago in Panama. Saga always one of my favs. this song is incredible. Just heard it and now its one of my favs. Reminds me Marillion whish is my favorite band. But saga is unique. Love it with all my heart.
I used to play the intro as warming up before my gigs with Real to Reel (Marillion tribute)... my son loved it so much few years after he learned how to playing too...SAGA runs deep in our family blood...
So, too, is the Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star" which was the song that jumpstarted the MTV we knew and loved. While the single was released in the fall of 1979, its parent album was released in February 1980.
Pulling out these gems just makes me misty. So many awesome memories, and the music is still better than so much of this auto-tuned bullshit from today.
muy muy pero muy bueno, y muy especial. saga was totally under rated, i met it because roger dean made som books of the albums he liked most, but my friend xixiclub likes it too! no bands make this great music. no more, listen these voices and instruments and feels so good.. mystical, magical. SAGA you're great!
in september 19 2017.....an earthquake tragedy happened in Mexico city......perished about 200 hundred persons….well folks...this beauty song is for them
Wonderfull Wien The get in all of The power of The keyboard and synt in The perfekt Way and Wien MR sadler start tog ohhhahhaaaaa.the best song of The 79.
i have all the early recordings on vinyl & CD,canadian & german labels,next i'd like to see if any titles have been reissued as "mini LP remasters from japan...hope so as i can only imagine what these recordings would sound like properly remastered!
Criminally underrated band
My Dad showed me this Song like when i was 4 years old and since then, this is probably the Song of my life. I have so Many memorys with this. It never gets boring. A real Masterpiece🤍
One of my top-10 Saga tracks of all time!
A prog masterpiece.
Goose Bumps every time!!!

Unicorn land? 😅
This is Progressive Rock with sophistication, very good!
So motional...always get tears in my eyes...in good way...
What a beautiful ballade from Saga. Still love this song after all these years.
There he sits
Drawing images on the causeway
With small bits of chalk
He sketches all the lost days
And the rain keeps coming down
Wipes them from the ground
And the rain keeps coming down
Watching his life drown
Dashing past
The people circle around him
With a laugh
A bottle must have drowned him
And the rain keeps coming down
Wipes them from the ground
And the rain keeps coming down
Change his smiles to frowns
None…
The best of the best in Progressive Rock for ever!!
I saw Saga playing live 3 times and every time I listen to this song I say OMG!!!!!!!!!!
In 1980 I answered a question on a radio Station in Winnipeg, MB the contest question had nothing to do with Saga, but the prize was this album. I had never heard of them before I won this record. This turned out to be one of my favorites of all time.
I remember listening to this in the early 80’s on my rock station. 40 years later the station signed off forever with ‘The Perfecionist’.
Magnificent song! Wonderful melody.
Maybe you had to live in Puerto Rico and have a wonderful station like Alfa Rock 105 (RIP) to have known this tune at its time! I got to see these guys on this tour (or maybe the next one). Awesome is a poor word to describe these guys live at this time. I thank God for having this experience.
Their albums were also well disseminated in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and other European countries.
This track, like so many of their “Chapter” songs, takes me on a journey in my mind. Fucking brilliant music.
I was introduced to SAGA by my future wife back in 1988. They quickly became my all time favorite group. But, I only listen to the first three albums...full of imagination and wonder.
My last 7 wives all liked Saga.
@@altorre5739 "Liked"...well, that's disturbing. Lol.
One group of extremely talented musicians.
I would say this is my favorite Saga song, but I have at least twenty more that a lot of people have not heard. What a great body of work, Saga!
So beautiful, majestic, and moving. More people should know this one!
Thank you Saga. You take us to a better place
Brilliant!
With this song I cried for my first love when he left me. But the love for this song is still a live.
I simply can't describe what imotions this song tears out of me ....feelings from the '80s. And the Band....is my favorite ...ever since!
The nicest and warmth piece of SAGA for ever!
Indescribably beautiful.
Saga ......and his powers! Delicately raving!
Listening to this I feel as if my last 31 years took but a single day. It is like a free ride in a time machine. Wheeee! Lets do this again!
I was listening to this song on my headphones during a train ride and let me tell you, it fit PERFECTLY. I can't explain it, just the combo of the instrumentation and the scenery that passed by just stirred something in me.
The Alchemist always knows what's good!
Rain keeps on falling
Very old emotions return. Thanks Gordon.
This is a magnificent lyric song with exciting instrumentation. I very love it!
I am from Canada, and SaGa is my favorite band since 1978 thanks for the site
❤ Canadian rock from the 70s and early 80s. It's mostly Rush people will always go on about, but you had a ton of good stuff coming out around that time.
just another GREAT SONG from SAGA
all songs from saga are just GREAT
SAGA's trademark bombastic midtempo keyboard part from 3:40 is nothing short of genius. I'm in my 50s, SAGA's Worlds Apart was the first record I fell in love with.

Every SAGA album is indeed special...even the "bad" ones, if any.

Also, I could recognize this sample on "Evidence - To Be Determined" !

The album was released very late that year (September 1979), as had the one after it, "Silent Knight" (November 1980).
