Air Supply

Songwriter: Graham Russell

Producer: Peter Dawkins

In the night when you're lonely
And you can't find a word for how you feel
There's a place that you know of
Where the lights are so low they're hardly real
In a chair on the front verandah is a weight
With a thought to set you free
The weight is my soul
The weight is my soul, come to me

I can see through the streetlights
Where the evening air is turning round
All I hear is the hangin' of the moon
And the stars on the sky
In a chair on the front verandah is a weight
With a thought to set you free
The weight is my soul
The weight is my soul, come to me

Have you thought of the times
When your heart and your mind are free
Have you thought of the times
When your heart and your mind are free

In the night when you're lonely
And you can't find aword for how you feel
There's a place that you know of
Where the lights are so low they're hardly real
In a chair on the front verandah is a weight
With a thought to set you free
The weight is my soul
The weight is my soul, come to me

Air Supply are a soft rock duo formed in 1975. From 1980-1985 the band had a string of hits that charted well in the US, Canada, New Zealand and their homeland Australia.

After Graham Russell’s music was ignored by bandmates in two previous bands, he auditioned for and won a part as a chorus member in a Melbourne production of Jesus Christ Superstar. This is where he met and teamed up with Russell Hitchcock, who had missed the JCS auditions in Sydney – so he flew to Melbourne and landed a spot in the same chorus.

The two submitted a demo of two songs – “Love And Other Bruises” and “If You Knew Me” to CBS Records and got signed. The former went to #3 in Australia, so they assembled session musicians, released their self-titled debut album, and toured Australia.
