Chris Rea - The Chance Of Love ( Santo Spirito Blues ) 2011. Following his sell-out UK & European tour in 2010 and 2009's UK Top Ten album Still So Far To Go - The Best Of Chris Rea, one of the UK's foremost singers and songwriters returns with his first new material in over 10 years.(?) The elaborate 3CD & 2DVD The Santo Spirito Project includes a brand new studio album featuring 1. Dancing My Blues Away 2. Rock And Roll Tonight 3. Never Tie Me Down 4. The Chance Of Love 5. The Last Open Road 6. Electric Guitar 7. Money 8. The Way She Moves 9. Dance With Me All Night Long 10. Think Like A Woman 11. You Got Lucky 12. Lose My Heart In You 13. I Will Go On Additionally, The Santo Spirito Project features 2 bespoke feature films on DVD, written and directed by Chris. The first feature is a raw and brutally honest chronicle on bullfighting and features neo-classical & Spanish themed gypsy music & the second feature follows a man through the city of Florence in his search for the truth, on a journey which he may or may not wish he began. The music to accompany both special feature films is contained on 2CDs and Chris explains his rationale for such an ambitious project: “I love creating things and passionately believe we (the artists) should be looking to try new ways of bringing what we do to the public. There should be no rules whatsoever and, for God's sake, there are alternatives to TV talent shows. Sometimes, those who have had extremely good fortune in music allow only X Factor type TV shows etc. to set the musical and cultural agenda of this county by actually doing nothing new or different themselves.“ The Santo Spirito Project is the natural successor to The Blue Guitars project (which contained 11 CDs & 1DVD) and as it was previously considered pure, incomprehensible madness by the record companies, Chris was forced to produce the entire package himself which has gone on to gross €5 million at retail. Chris told the BBC News last year “ I cannot be bothered just making a CD any more. It has got to be something more interesting for me than just 10 tracks on CD “and his vision to offer more than just his trademark slide guitar blues/rock is illustrated in the creative breadth & depth of The Santo Spirito Project. Chris added: “The luxury of selling over 30 million albums has allowed me to try new and different approaches to music. I would be damning myself to hell if I just took the money and ran. One day a younger artist may look at what I have been trying to do, marrying my love of the visual arts and music and start a whole new movement. Then, I will know it was all worthwhile!“ I came here to dance To show my faith To try and lose my blues Something that takes its place Chorus I don't care about the moon And the stars above It ain't something in my pocket And the chance of love The chance of love I have been out an dlong the hard wire Trying to make it babe We all need to get lucky And a chance to come my way Chorus So I don't care about the moon And the stars way above Got something in my pocket And the chance of love The chance of love Dress me up in pretty clothes Let everybody see The only thing .. set you free The chance of love And I am praying for an angel Yeah I am looking for a ... Nobody wants to give up Everybody wants to play Chorus So I don't care about the moon And the stars way above Got something in my pocket And the chance of love The chance of love The chance of love The chance of love The chance of love...
