Quizás el “One hit wonder” más recordado de este grupo, que se mantuvo activo 1988. Este tema de 1985 se encaramó en el puesto 6 de las listas británicas y fue número 1 en Australia.

El grupo realmente fue ideado por Richard Anthony Hewson en 1977 y sus canciones se destacaron por fusionar los estilos como el jazz, funky y la música de baile. También cabe destacar que el grupo en sí es ficticio, y que la única persona detrás de él realmente era el propio Richard, y de las iniciales de su nombre, se extrajo el nombre del grupo: Richard Anthony Hewson (RAH BAND)

Otro tema de este grupo que alcanzó también el puesto 6 de las listas de ventas, fue un corte instrumental llamado “The Crunch” en 1978. Richard tocó todos los instrumentos que aparecían en él.

Sin más, os dejo con esta buenísima canción y video muy apañado.

Rah Band - Clouds across the moon (letra)

“Good evening. This is the intergalactic operator. Can I help you?”
“Yes. I’m trying to reach flight commander P.R. Johnson, on Mars, flight 2-4-7″
“Very well, hold on please. You’re through”
“Thank you operator!”

Hiya darlin’ ! How are you doing?
Hey baby, were you sleeping?
Oh I’m sorry, but I’ve been really missing you

Hi darlin’ How’s the weather?
Say baby, is that cold better now?
Oh I’m sorry, is there someone there with you?

Ooooh since you went away, there’s nothing goin’ right
I just can’t sleep alone at night… I’m not ashamed to say
I badly need a friend… or it’s the end

Now, when I look at the cloud’s across the moon
Here in the night I just hope and pray that soon
Oh baby, you’ll hurry home to me

Hi darlin’, the kids say they love you
Hey baby, is everything fine with you?
Please forgive me, but I’m trying not to cry

Ooooh I’ve had a million different offers on the phone
But I just stay right here at home
I don’t think that I can take it anymore this crazy war

Now, when I look at the cloud’s across the moon
Here in the night I just hope and pray that soon
Oh darling, you’ll hurry home to me

“I’m sorry to interrupt your conversation, but we are
experiencing violent storm conditions in the asteroid belt at this
time. We may lose this valuable deep space communication link
Please, be as brief as possible
Thank you.”

Ooooh since you went away, there’s nothing goin’ right
I just can’t sleep alone at night… I’m not ashamed to say
I badly need a friend… or it’s it’s

“Hello?, Hello operator?”
“Yes, ive seemed to have lost the connection! Could you try again please?”
“I’m sorry, but I’m afraid we’ve lost contact with Mars 2-4-7 at this time.”

“Ok. Well thank you very much…
I’ll…I’ll try again next year…next year…next year…next year…”

Now, when I look at the cloud’s across the moon
Here in the night I just hope and pray that soon
Oh baby, you’ll hurry home to me

Now, when I look at the cloud’s across the moon
Here in the night I just hope and pray that soon
Oh baby, you’ll hurry home to me
