Renaissance - Northern Lights (3rd TOTP appearance, 1978) HD
"Northern Lights," a song by the English progressive rock band Renaissance, captures the essence of longing and reflection. Released in 1978 from their album "A Song for All Seasons," it became the band's only hit single, reaching No. 10 on the UK Singles Chart.
The song is a poignant homage to Roy Wood, a founding member of The Move, ELO, and Wizzard. Annie Haslam, the lead singer of Renaissance, and Wood shared a four-year relationship, and the song's lyrics, penned by Michael Dunford and Betty Thatcher-Newsinger, reflect Haslam's feelings of loneliness and separation while touring in the U.S., away from Wood and the 'Northern Lights' of England.
This was the third of three Top of the Pops appearances for Renaissance with Northern Lights. This performance aired on August 10, 1978.

Desination outward bound
I turn to see the northern lights behind the wing
Horizons seem to beckon me
Learned how to cry too young
So now I live to sing
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
Horizons seem to beckon me
Learned how to cry too young
So now I live to sing
Though it's hard away from you
Travelling roads and just passing through
It's not for money and it's not for fame
I just can't explain, sometimes it's lonely
Marking the space between the days
Early hours pass away
I sing to you of northern lights
I sing for you of northern nights
Past or future, here or there
Shelter comes in words from you, so talk to me
I hear your voice, it comforts me
In morning dreams I take your hand
You walk with me
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
Peace enfolds the still night air
Home again I look for you and find you there
Desintation homeward now
Take the easy way, bring me down
Making the hard way now I see
Hard to be really free, I'm missing you near me
Marking the space between the days
Early hours pass away
I sing to you of northern lights
I sing for you of northern nights
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
The northern nights are in my eyes
They guide me back to you

    I saw Jeff in 2018 in Philly and he was amazing. Now in 2024 he still sounds great however is there any indication that's he's sick (?) looks thinner and is somewhat off on lyrics. This being his Over & Out Tour HOPEFULLY he's not battling an undisclosed illness, he appears considerably fragile. Hopefully he's in great health and it's just father-time
