It's All Gone

"It's All Gone" is a song by British singer-songwriter Chris Rea that was released in 1986 as the lead single from his eighth studio album On the Beach. It was written by Rea, and produced by Rea and David Richards. "It's All Gone" reached No. 69 in the UK Singles Chart and remained in the Top 100 for four weeks.

The song's music video was directed by Tony van den Ende. Speaking to Guitarist in 1986 about the upcoming video shoot, Rea revealed: "It's going to be a Spaghetti western! The band doesn't look like Depeche Mode and to dress us up would make us look absolutely stupid. As we already look as if we had just crawled from underneath the saloon, I suggested we make a video that exaggerates the fact!"

On its release, Music & Media picked "It's All Gone" as a "sure hit" and described it as a "medium-paced rock song". In a review of On the Beach, Robin Denselow of The Guardian commented: "It's a classy album, but for the British market he might have included more up-tempo pieces like "It's All Gone", a moodily stirring song of decay."
