This was the other hit tune this group had. MTV played them both for a while. Mr. Mister was an American rock band from Phoenix, Arizona, active from 1982 until 1990. The band consisted of Richard Page on lead vocals and bass guitar, Steve George on keyboards/backing vocals, Pat Mastelotto on acoustic and electronic drums/percussion and Steve Farris on guitars/backing vocals Their second album, 1985's Welcome to the Real World-with lyrics from Page's cousin John Lang-was the breakthrough for Mr. Mister. All three singles were in the top 10, two of which hit No. 1 on the U.S. pop charts-"Kyrie" and "Broken Wings".
"Kyrie" Kyrie eleison Kyrie eleison Kyrie elei The wind blows hard against this mountainside Across the sea into my soul It reaches into where I cannot hide Setting my feet upon the road My heart is old, it holds my memories My body burns a gem-like flame Somewhere between the soul and soft machine Is where I find myself again Kyrie eleison down the road that I must travel Kyrie eleison through the darkness of the night Kyrie eleison where I'm going, will you follow? Kyrie eleison on a highway in the night When I was young, I thought of growing old Of what my life would mean to me Would I have followed down my chosen road Or only wished what I could be? Kyrie eleison down the road that I must travel Kyrie eleison through the darkness of the night Kyrie eleison where I'm going, will you follow? Kyrie eleison on a highway in the night Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh Kyrie eleison down the road that I must travel Kyrie eleison through the darkness of the night Kyrie eleison where I'm going, will you follow? Kyrie eleison on a highway in the night Kyrie eleison down the road that I must travel (Kyrie, will you follow?) Kyrie eleison through the darkness of the night (yeah) Kyrie eleison where I'm going, will you follow? (Will you follow?) Kyrie eleison on a highway in the night Kyrie eleison down the road that I must travel Kyrie eleison through the darkness of the night Kyrie eleison where I'm going, will you follow? (Will you follow?) Kyrie eleison on a highway in the light Kyrie eleison down the road that I must travel (Will you follow?) Kyrie eleison through the darkness of the night Kyrie eleison where I'm going, will you follow? (Will you follow?)
"Kyrie Eleison" is a Greek phrase that is often used in Christian mass (particularly Catholic) meaning "Lord, have mercy". Pronunciation is "KEE-ree-yay ee-LAY-ee-sohn" The entire song is a prayer. Nowadays kids only know the spelling of the basketball player's name. I've always wondered why his parents did that to him.
I first encountered the term, "kyrie" in the 1968 when Malcom McDowell's character,Travis, in the movie, 'If', listens to a music piece called the 'Missa Luba' which is a Congolese boys choir singing a Roman Catholic mass in their native language and using Congolese instruments. It's a very powerful piece of music and definitely worth a listen.
MOTOWN... When you make your way to "Hitsville" Detroit Michigan.. The body of Excellence Is MASSIVE. So many great groups and songs... But... I strongly suggest your first experience should be this monster that all members of this legendary band has a part in...."The Funk Brothers" were the musicians that made the music at Motown Records. All the groups were primarily Vocals only. There is a long Album version at 11+ mins (Awesome), or the 7 minute Radio version..... The Temptations - "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone"
When compared to the legendary names in your playlist, that set the entire world on fire for decades, with a body of work that will be the standard everyone is compared too forever.... this band is like a firecracker someone lit in the back yard and it went POP. Like so many other bands that had a couple of hits and faded away into history, but never really left their mark on history.
I saw Mr Mister when they warmed up for Heart on Hearts huge Heart album tour in '84? They were great but I always thought they would get a lot bigger...
"Any Particular Meaning?"....If you grew up attending Catholic Church services you know those words very well...A brief pause for silence follows. The Priest, or a Deacon or another minister, then says the following or other invocations with Kyrie, eleison (Lord, have mercy): You were sent to heal the contrite of heart: Lord, have mercy..... Now you know.
That’s correct Edgar I didn’t hear him saying it at all. My ears we’re listening for a completely different pronunciation so on my first listen to this song I didn’t hear him saying it.
@@JMBOYTV....pay no mind to rudeness. 😅 For 40 years I mis understood the words until recently. Always loved the vocals and instrumentals tho. Now that I know the words, I love the song even more. ✌
Kyrie Eleison = Lord Have Mercy in Latin. Us old time Catholics heard this every week in Mass.
Too many times until I became an outspoken Atheist in 1971.
@@AliasMark69 - "Kyrie Eleison"..... ✌️😎❤️.
Greek
Oh, the good old days of us bilinguists....
Still do.
Ohh man I want to go back to that time. This song was played everywhere, it was great.
I love Mr.Mister.
80s❤
Love the 80's❤
He says it KE-REE, and you were expecting KI-REE. No big deal. Thanks for your reaction.
Kyrie Eleison means "Lord have mercy", envoking God's love for his creation of all Mankind. . God's mercy is Love.... ✌️😎. Peace ❤️.

"Kyrie"
Kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison
Kyrie elei
The wind blows hard against this mountainside
Across the sea into my soul
It reaches into where I cannot hide
Setting my feet upon the road
My heart is old, it holds my memories
My body burns a gem-like flame
Somewhere between the soul and soft machine
Is where I find myself again
Kyrie eleison down the road that I must travel
Kyrie eleison through the darkness of the night
Kyrie eleison where I'm going, will you follow?
Kyrie eleison on a highway in the night
When I was young, I thought of growing old
Of what my life would mean to me
Would I have followed down my chosen road
Or only wished what I could be?
Kyrie eleison down the road that I must travel
Kyrie eleison through the darkness of the night
Kyrie eleison where I'm going, will you follow?
Kyrie eleison on a highway in the night
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Kyrie eleison down the road that I must travel
Kyrie eleison through the darkness of the night
Kyrie eleison where I'm going, will you follow?
Kyrie eleison on a highway in the night
Kyrie eleison down the road that I must travel (Kyrie, will you follow?)
Kyrie eleison through the darkness of the night (yeah)
Kyrie eleison where I'm going, will you follow? (Will you follow?)
Kyrie eleison on a highway in the night
Kyrie eleison down the road that I must travel
Kyrie eleison through the darkness of the night
Kyrie eleison where I'm going, will you follow? (Will you follow?)
Kyrie eleison on a highway in the light
Kyrie eleison down the road that I must travel (Will you follow?)
Kyrie eleison through the darkness of the night
Kyrie eleison where I'm going, will you follow? (Will you follow?)
Thanks Mark, first time I've seen the lyrics to this great 80s track. 🙂
Broken Wings another great song.

This is a really good song! And I love to listen to the bass guitar parts of the song for fun!❤❤

This could scarcely be more 80s.

Terry Kath, many say he was the best guitarist they ever heard or saw play live..... Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4 - 7/21/1970 - Tanglewood (Official)

"Maybe I Missed It".... I smiled. Check out the lyrics. Have another Spectacular Day down in the heat.... Stay TOO COOL.
The title "Kyrie" is pronounced KER-EE-A
Drummer Pat Mastelotto later went on to join a *VERY* different band..King Crimson.

kyrie...pronounced keer ee
He says the name of the song is Kyrie but he doesn't hear him say Kyrie in the song. He says Kyrie Eleison throughout the whole song.
