1) Lindisfarne were an English folk-rock group from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, formed in 1968. The original line up was Alan Hull, Ray Jackson, Ray Laidlaw, Rod Clements, and Simon Cowe.
The group released their debut Nicely out of Tune in 1970. Their second album, Fog on the Tyne, was produced by Bob Johnson, who had also worked with Bob Dylan, to whom Alan Hull was being compared at the time. Following their third album, Dingly Dell, the group split and Lindisfarne (Mark II) continued with new members, and produced a few more albums before disbanding in 1975, seemingly for good.
1978 saw the original group re-form, with the album Back and Fourth, and the hit single "Run for Home". This line-up continued for many years. New member Marty Craggs came in for the 1986 album Dance Your Life Away. Ray 'Jacka' Jackson eventualy left to work in London, and then Si Cowe left to run a brewery in Canada. Jackson now (2008) has a career as an artist, specialising in colourful paintings of buses, a passion since he was a boy. He also played the mandolin on Rod Stewart's "Maggie May".
The group celebrated their twenty-fifth anniversary of performing at Newcastle City Hall in the summer of 1995. Less than six months later Hull died of a heart attack. There was a period of consolidation for the group, which decided to continue - going back to their folk roots, and new members Billy Mitchell, Dave Denholm and Ian Thompson. This line up continued for several years until the departure of Marty Craggs. After this the three remaining members continued to tour as an acoustic trio before calling it a day with a final gig on 17th May 2004.

Beautiful Day
Lindisfarne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day.
When I'm walking with you I feel so proud
I could raise my voice I could say it out loud
but I don't you know, that's not my way,
When I rest my head on your slender shoulder
and you tell me there's no fear in growing older
I believe what you say, all along the way
And I know for sure it's gonna be another beautiful day.
Chorus:
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day.
When I look in your eyes and I touch your hair
I feel a strange surprise that's always there
it's mystery to me, I hope it stays that way
and I think to myself, what a beautiful day.
Chorus:
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day.
There's a man on the radio telling lies
about world war three being fought in the skies
but it don't matter to me, I've got to say
'cos I know today is gonna be another beautiful day.
Chorus:
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day. 2 x
It's gonna be a beautiful day 6 x

The second verse focuses on the intimacy and comfort the singer shares with their loved one, finding hope and comfort even in the prospect of growing older. The final verse references the chaos of the world around them, with the man on the radio telling lies about a fictional world war three, but the singer remains grounded in the present moment and the beauty of the day.
