"When I'm with You" is a song by British singer-songwriter Steve Harley, released as a non-album single in 1989.〔http://www.discogs.com/Steve-Harley-When-Im-With-You/release/4454783〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=45cat - Steve Harley - When I'm With You / Theme From "Babbacombe Lee" - Vital Vinyl - UK - VIT 3 )〕 The song was written and produced by Harley and his ex-Cockney Rebel bandmates guitarist Jim Cregan and drummer Stuart Elliott. ==Background== Throughout the 1980s, Harley did not release any new albums, but a handful of singles which either became minor hits or failed to chart.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Singles 1983-2002 )〕 Although he performed live on rare occasions in the early to mid-1980s, Harley wouldn't re-emerge fully until in 1989 when he toured the UK and Europe with a new line-up of the Cockney Rebel band. In early 1989 Harley went into the studio with Jim Cregan, Duncan Mackay and Stuart Elliott to record some demos. The sessions worked well, and were deemed successful. All three musicians Harley worked with for these demos were in the most successful reincarnation of Cockney Rebel, from 1975 to 1977.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Great Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel Story )〕 With a new manager Harley arranged to tour England and as well as Europe, and this tour was labelled as "The Comeback: All Is Forgiven" tour. For this upcoming tour Harley added a selection of new songs to his repertoire; "Not Alone Anymore" (the Roy Orbison-penned track from the 1988 album ''Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1'' by supergroup Traveling Wilburys), and three original numbers; "Dancing on the Telephone", "When I'm with You" and "The Lighthouse". Upon embarking on the tour Harley released "When I'm with You" as a non-album single, purposely to promote the tour. Although the tour was a success, and Harley began to tour regularly afterwards, the single failed to chart.〔 "When I'm with You" was Harley's first single of new material since 1986's "Irresistible", discounting the 1988 charity single "Whatever You Believe", which was a collaboration between Jon Anderson, Harley and Mike Batt. It would also be Harley's last release of new material until 1992. The two tracks "Dancing on the Telephone" and "The Lighthouse" would later be recorded for Harley's 1992 studio album ''Yes You Can'', but the album would not include "When I'm with You".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Official Steve Harley Website UK - Yes You Can (1992) )〕 The B-Side is an instrumental track titled "Theme From "Babbacombe Lee", which was labelled on the vinyl as from the forthcoming movie ''Babbacombe Lee''.〔 The song was written solely by Harley, and produced by Harley and Steve Hills.〔 The film, which never materialised, was to be based on the true story of John 'Babbacombe' Lee, who survived three attempts to hang him in Victorian times. The film was due to feature Harley as the leading character, however those involved with the project were never able to secure funding.〔 A different version of the track later appeared as a B-Side to the 1992 European CD single release of "Irresistible", a single taken from the ''Yes You Can'' album. The song was renamed to "The Waggon", and production was re-credited to Harley and Matt Butler, for Priceart Ltd.〔http://www.discogs.com/Steve-Harley-Irresistible/release/4160717〕〔http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=4160717〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「When I'm with You (Steve Harley song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
