16 years ago i was at work and just caught the end of this song on the radio, i was obsessed with the guitar melody but didnt hear the name of the song or who played it so for years i would sing the melody to people in hope that they would know the song but alas no luck until one day around 10 years later it came on the radio again so i finally found out the name and it was up there with one of my happiest moments. Thank you bell x1 from the bottom of my heart. This song helps me get through dark times ❤

It was a beautiful and extraordinary moment to me, it is a great version. Thanks for share. Happy life for everyone :)

[@maggieglynn1]

This is the song that made me fall in love with Bell X1, and why I still adore them to this day 🥰

[@jonchisam7163]

Same here and like you still love them. Going to see them in London in Dec

[@eamonhannon1103]

I am very impressed with this song . Can you recommend some of their albums ?

[@jammyfaces1]

Someday we will look back at this and celebrate how important these little moments were in amongst such crazy times.

[@garytaylor6408]

A masterpiece!! Enough said. 😁

This is gorgeous - what an apt song to reinvent for these times. One of my favourite BellX1 songs. I really like where you went with it.

[@rtoadietodd]

Beautiful in every way

[@rtoadietodd]

To find such beauty as this during a time of heartache is a miracle indeed

[@gavindwyer5457]

Love this song.... Please more videos?

[@hugofallon3724]

So apt as I sit here in my 7th lockdown in Melbourne

😭

[@wopder]

Bell x1 could arrange my dead mother's funeral and make it a happy thing, one of my favourite songs just got better!!!

[@eamonhannon1103]

Re- Release it and add strings playing a constant note high up in the background to emphasise the ethereal reflective mood of the song !

[@andersdomstedt10]

How I miss this band! Great version!

[@woodzycon]

Just beautiful ❤

[@KN-xl6lw]

What a lovely song. Please play more! Would love to hear the choir singing Rocky.

[@tonymcgo]

Beautiful

[@itsellenoreilly]

Beyond beautiful....

[@ThatsMistaTwistToYou]

Beautiful. I had the strangest journey here: This track was one of 700 added to a "Music to give you chills" that was made from the results of a study for an article, which was posted on Twitter by someone I know. Gorgeous work, everyone :)

[@kewallitee]

Love this version. Beautiful

[@BlueOstinato]

One of my favourite songs by you guys. This is brilliant, thank you.

[@yannjousselin7133]

Wonderful !!!

[@christiancoulter7443]

Paul is truly amazing I did not appreciate his astonishing talent unto he sang at Johns funeral. A truly understated musician.

[@jimk4334]

perfect

[@eamonhannon1103]

Excellent . Really beautiful music and I don’t say that very often .

[@shaneoherlihy9684]

Epic.

[@Vilandra08]

How did this collaboration come about? It was great!

[@jonchisam7163]

Totally fantastic, a great song that is even better

[@wopder]

Fucking wow!!!!!!

[@80marillion]

Wow,what a beautiful version

[@eamonhannon1103]

The lyric could be reworked based on the theme "You are far from me " - a line from the song . Then with some production tweaks , the plaintive, reflective tone of the song would capture beautifully the spirit of the Covid 19 times we have been living through .

[@alannolan8331]

Awesome!

[@louiseegan1221]

Pure magic💞

[@eamonhannon1103]

I think soaring strings backing track would work very well with the the part of the song where the melody soars and would lift the song . Not sure about the false ending at 1:45 - it is a bit too abrupt . With different lyrics it could capture beautifully the spirit of the Covid period we are all living through . A song to the silence

[@John.M.Gannon]

So was this about carona,Ukraine or the killer 🤔 jaaabbss?

[@sylvainm.1584]
