From 'Turn of the Cards" (1975). Renaissance's stupendous take on Albinoni's "Adagio" -- a rare but equally convincing moment of atmospheric despair in the Renaissance catalogue.

Cold Is Being

So cold is being lonely

Behold the feeling lonely

The living part is done

The dying has begun

The world is spinning slow

So tired slow

So cold is being sadness

Behold the feeling sadness

Oh how can we believe

We earn what we receive

The pain it overflows

Overflows

Lord won't you help us realise

See through your eyes

Within our lives

The earth grows old

The earth grows cold

So cold is being tired

Behold the feeling tired

Stand quietly at the side

Watch darkness open wide

The light is growing dim

So dim within.

I too, heard this when I was about 14, before I'd heard Albinoni's Adagio. The day I heard the adagio I was almost giddy with excitement, rushing around to tell people. Except they hadn't heard of Renaissance and couldn't relate. To me, this is most exquisite cover of such a breathtaking piece of music.

В своем творчестве, британская группа Renaissance довольно часто цитировала произведения классиков - Чайковского, Шопена, Дебюсси, Римского-Корсакова или например Адажио Альбиони, которое по праву считается одним из самых цитируемых произведений второй половины 20 века...

hgejjeg, aptly described as a rare moment of despair. Renaissance's songs are almost always hopeful. Except maybe for Mother Russia. For an "Adagio" this is kind of fast, bordering on Andante.

I heard the Renaissance version before the classical piece, and was always wondering about it!

It's beautiful - although I do not listen to it with the same ears as I did when I first heard it, age 12 or 13... it's nice to hear it after so many years. Amazingly, they put their own names on the record label as composers. Now it wasn't Albinoni who wrote it, but Remo Giazotto (1910-1998) - composer, critic, and author of several biographies, including Albinoni's. Nice bit of trivia: the sleeve art was drawn by the same guy who designed the Motörhead logo...!
