hdehoon Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I always found Orchard road by Leo Sayer a powerfull song. It must be something from his own life experience, I guess. But what? Hope somebody knows something about the lyrics of this song and its history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 personally I don't know the song, but wikipedia says: Contrary to common misconception that the song title refers to the famous retail and entertainment hub of Orchard Road in Singapore, in reality this is not the case. The lyrics to his song "Orchard Road" are based on an all-night phone conversation out in a public telephone booth he had with his then wife, pleading for her return from her flat and forgiveness after a lapse of judgement in their 7-year marital life. The song title is a made-up road name. Orchard Road in reality, refers to Churchfield Road, Acton in Greater London where his ex-wife Janice had moved out to. and welcome to Songfacts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
