OMG 😮. I found Waterboys a year ago. they wrote prob the most impactful tribute to the heart, soul, and song of a woman ever, in my 66 years. It's called "Whole Of The Moon" BEAUTIFUL. But, 'The Killers' did a cover of it in a live @ TRNSMT Festival!! There are no words. LEE, also you would love lyrics of Waterboys "This Is The Sea"

I recently heard that a friend was at a funeral, and they played “This Is the Sea”. I got full body chills.

They had so many touching songs... surprised to see someone reviewing the Waterboys. Please do "The Whole of the Moon" by them. The intro to Don't Bang the Drum just draws you in with Spanish trumpets... and then it kicks into it with the driving drums and Mike Scott's distinctive voice and emotional power

I’ve loved this song since 88 - very big on college campuses back in the day and ever since, for me anyway - this album is fantastic- they also do a sublime cover of Van Morrison’s Sweet Thing. A great pick and a nice surprise!

Beautiful. I was DJing between bands at a small festival in the U.K, the band due to come on were folkish & I had led towards their style & played this as the track before they played, the lead singer turned & said "This is my most favourite tune." I smiled & felt good.
@alanglover91179 ай бұрын
They've done some major stuff like This is The Sea and A Church not made with Hands you would really like and on and on also great solo albums by Mike Scott, i particularly like Bring em all in. Live they play really loud and blow you away.

Every time I hear this I kick myself in the ass for quitting violin lessons. "The Whole of the Moon" is probably their most well known song and definitely one you should hear - not as traditional, but truly inspired.

This is the Sea is still my favorite by them, but you can't go wrong with Fisherman's Blues. Off this record, I'd go with We Will Not Be Lovers, A Bang on the Ear, or World Party. You may also want to check out A Man is in Love for a little burst of that folksier old-world music. Glastonbury Song is another winner but a very noticeable shift in styles again.

I left this comment before...but it got ate. The song is on my car playlist. I first heard the song on KPIG and went out and bought the album. Another good one is the album from Loreena McKennitt called Nights From The Alhambra. Which is easy to find on the internet.
