On this day in 1986, the Gary Moore single “Over the Hills and Far Away” debuted on the UK Singles Chart at #37 (December 20)
The stirring song from the brilliant Irish guitarist’s sixth solo album “Wild Frontier” features The Chieftains, who also appear in the video.
Moore performed the song with the legendary Irish band at the TV show celebrating their 25th anniversary in 1988.
The song tells the tale of a man wrongfully accused of armed robbery, who won't reveal his alibi is as it’s the wife of his best friend, with whom he was sleeping.
So he gets sent to prison "over the hills and far away, for ten long years", during which he receives love letters from the woman and "he swears he will return one day", so "back in his arms is where she'll be".
On the charts it went all the way to #1 in Norway and Finland, #6 in Ireland, #7 in Sweden, #20 in the UK, #22 in the Netherlands, #27 in Switzerland, #43 in New Zealand, and #94 in Australia.
Whilst not cracking the Hot 100, “Over the Hills and Far Away” peaked at #24 on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart.
