2) Rick Price (born Richard Price on 10 June 1944; died 17 May 2022) was an English bassist who played with various Birmingham-based rock bands, most notably Sight and Sound, The Move (1969–1971), and Wizzard (1972–1975). His first band was The Cimarrons, who were inspired by The Shadows. He then moved on to The Sombreros, who later changed their name to Sight & Sound and moved in a more psychedelic direction. He began collaborating with Mike Sheridan as a songwriting partnership. Price joined The Move in 1969, staying with the group for two years, including an unsuccessful tour of the United States. He also contributed bass tracks to the early sessions for the debut album of ELO, but for reasons that are unclear, none of his bass parts ended up in the final mix of the album when it was released in 1971.
After leaving The Move he signed a contract with Gemini Records; he then recorded (with Sheridan) the album This Is To Certify That, released in 1970, and a solo album, Talking To The Flowers, in 1971. He then joined former Move colleague Carl Wayne in Light Fantastic, before forming Mongrel with future Wizzard drummers Charlie Grima and Keith Smart.
He joined up again with Wood in the latter's new band, Wizzard, with whom he had two British number one hit singles, "See My Baby Jive" and "Angel Fingers", as well as the No. 4 Christmas classic "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" (all 1973).
After Wizzard split up, he joined the Wizzo Band on pedal steel guitar in 1975, but they broke up in 1978.
Price married Dianne Lee (of the 1970s duo Peters and Lee); they toured as a duo, performing hits and new songs.
Price was a member of The Rockin' Berries from 1990 until his death in 2022.
To Be With You
Rick Price Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pink and yellow neon lights
The skyline here is such a lovely sight
As far as I can see
How can time move so slow
Another flight, here I go
And diamonds dance on water down below
It never seems to end
But I know where I've been
And I can't wait to see your face again
So I walk these empty streets
To be with you, to be with you
'Til I find a place where I am free
To be with you, to be with you
Walking through these iron gates
I have learned to love this place
But nothing seems to fill this empty space
Here inside of me
And I'm standing here along
Left my heart when I left home
God, I wish that you were here with me
So I walk these empty streets
To be with you, to be with you
'Til I find a place where I am free
To be with you, to be with you
Even though I can't be where you are
You're always in my heart
So I walk these empty streets
To be with you, to be with you
'Til I find a place where I am free
To be with you, to be with you
The lyrics of Rick Price's "To Be With You" reflect the longing of someone who is far from home, missing their loved one. The singer sings about the passing of time and how it feels slow while he is away while he sees the world around him, where the skyline looks beautiful in pink and yellow neon lights. He walks through empty streets, standing alone, and reflecting on the fact that nothing seems to fill the void inside him. The lyrics of the song reflect the pain of separation and the restlessness of being away from those we love.
The chorus of the song is a declaration of the singer's desire to be with his loved one. The repetition of the phrase "To be with you" emphasizes the urgency and feeling of the singer's desire. The bridge acknowledges the distance between them but affirms that the person he misses is "always in my heart." The tone of the song is bittersweet, with a beautiful melody and vocals that add to the melancholy of the lyrics.
