Foy Vance - "Closed Hand, Full of Friends" (Live from Bushmills Distillery)

[@1gnore_me.]

Foy Vance is the kind of person I want to be when I'm older.

[@daizymaebee529]

Thank you for being here

[@kielDaRoach]

Yup following the music matches the epicness of that mustache!!

[@sneakerhead74]

Foy is SOOOO damn good! Why most of his videos do not have millions of likes is baffling to me. His lyrics, musicianship and voice are amazing. Spread the word people!

[@haleighhing9270]

How is this Moustached God not more well known, this song is amazing!

[@johncunningham8276]

Haleigh Hing Most all of his songs are amazing! ☺️

[@ronaldmoore9756]

This guy is unbelievable best thing since Van Morrisson. Unglaublich!!!! And from Bangor Too!

[@josalynhughes1181]

I agree! I thought the same thing the first time I heard Foy! 💚

[@paulvance6665]

I couldn’t agree more 😉

[@savedandblessed79]

amazing voice ppl dont realise it sounds so close to album as he whacks out random live vocals on his album tracks with foy nothing is planned it just flows and its fucking marvellous

[@polgara28]

The scenery’s changing and it warms my soul I’m 200 miles down and a long way yet to go So get your boots on and your walking coat And we’ll together leave our footprints out upon the virgin snow That ancient sunrise will soon descend And we’ll be left here pondering on the things which we can depend So let’s start over with no means to an end Just an open-hearted hope and a closed hand, full of friends Yeah, well, London was all right but I was dead in the water Couldn’t see it in its light, I couldn’t kneel in its altar All I wanted was to tear it right down to the ground But I’m feeling all right now, yeah, I’m feeling all right Every morning when the coffee’s on And I rediscover that color in your eyes, in its gold and its bronze And in the moonlight we'll get the candles going With the recitations of the parish poets popping on our tongues Yeah, well, London was all right but I was dead in the water Couldn't see it’s light, I couldn’t kneel in its altar All I wanted was to tear it right down to the ground And it sank from the feet of its culture I'd hide away from wolves and the vultures All they wanted was to tear me right down to the ground Oh, I’m feeling all right, I am now, yeah, I’m feeling all right In the recitations of the parish poets In the buildings, in the burrows, in the Loch Tay boats I will find my means to an end With an open-hearted hope and a closed hand, full of friends In the recitations of the parish poets In the buildings, in the burrows, in the Loch Tay boats I will find my means to an end With an open-hearted hope and a closed hand, full of friends In the recitations of the parish poets In the buildings, in the burrows, in the Loch Tay boats I will find my means to an end With an open-hearted hope and a closed hand, full of friends In the recitations of the parish poets In the buildings, in the burrows, in the Loch Tay boats I will find my means to an end With an open-hearted hope and a closed hand, full of friends

😉💜thanx💯

[@TheFolkUtopia]

Foy Vance reminds me of my other musical love, Bruce Springsteen. It's their lyrics and the heart that goes into every note! Thank you Foy Vance!

[@RaphaelGarcia]

If you thought this was great, then wait until you get the chance to hear him live... one of the best live music artists to hear! (If you're watching/listening to this, then you have one hell of a music taste!)

[@kingprawn21]

This is live....... 🙈

[@RaphaelGarcia]

@@kingprawn21 Live as in an in-person performance at a concert and not through a screen... 😅

[@NegagaElk]

Fukinell bro🎉😂so brilliant. Lovely AF❤

[@lagunabxo]

Still get goosebumps every time I hear this song

[@petermcnally7125]

The Irish Tom Waits!!

[@peggysuchan5720]

One of the absolute MOST HANDSOME men that I have ever seen or heard! Wishing him the best always & forever in his life...❤

[@jamesmoffatt2130]

Saw him at Wembley the other day, supporting Ed Sheeran, after hearing a little of him before hand I was quite looking forward to it but he genuinely blew me away with his passion on the mic and absolutely mental vocals! Rapidly becoming a favourite of mine!

[@philcotnoir]

Same here - saw him with Ed, and now I think I prefer Foy !

[@hannahbush9354]

Foy Vance is everything.

[@alexandrahague-mattia2682]

New discovery! Hooked! Hello from Southern France.

[@rikster3]

Proper artist, proper song! Real talent, this man makes you proud to be from our wee country!

[@schaustatu]

I got it for free on iTunes too, the song cycles through on my list and the more it comes on the more I like it.

[@chriseells5532]

Amazing song!!!! What amuses me more is it sounds like the type of thing that started as a joke or bet! "Foy, I bet you can't write an entire song around one chord on a straight 4/4 rhythm!"

[@paolagratsos6201]

From derp in my obsession with Chris Stapleton, I stumbled on Make it rain by Foy…now have 2 obsessions❤️

[@adiegk1]

Another masterpiece!

[@charlestontillis4941]

I love this song meaning/vocal/lyrics..I swear this is how I felt at the time..I'm happy yet I cry still to this day when I hear it❤🎉🎉

[@SaxtonEB]

I have loved this song for many years. Dancing in the kitchen to this! “I’m feeling alright now, I’m feeling alright!!!!!”

[@dford145]

This was sooooo fucking good

[@justjavivi]

This man is a musical genius!

[@stephanielentzmorrison9811]

Until I see and hear you sing it, hey there is someone who bangs it out like I dance or play the blues once my fingers catch the rhythm. Watch the sun rise with me son. Give me you hand.

[@ciaranlogue2310]

Foy really is the fucking boy!!! The lyrics, the oompff in every fucking word. Jesus he's a legend.

[@CodyPennington]

This is just an incredible song.

[@22blueowls]

This song! That music! That MUSTACHE! All this, and that, it's all beautiful ;u;

[@fox00j1]

I found Foy when he did a cover of the Theme for Cheers on "The Saturday Sessions" Album. I now have his back catalogue, and am hoping to see him in portsmouth in August, WHAT a voice.

[@JeremiahShaferSimulacra]

A solid opening track to another amazing album. Foy Vance is the man.

[@davidcben07]

He opened for Brett Dennen in DC last week, and with all due respect to Mr. Dennen, Foy stole the show.

[@JamesDel]

2013/14 belongs to Foy. Well deserved too!:)

[@RustyClantonOfficial]

[@jakistra]

I saw Foy in Boston this past fall. Best show I've seen in forever. What a talented guy.

[@naniimorales5806]

I only said that harry send me here, i don't know why you telling me "respect it" when i didn't say nothing bad. Because of harry, i can listen this music. Because of harry, now i know the talent of this guy. Maybe if harry don't even talk about him, maybe i didn't know the talent of this guys. Because he have talent, i never said that he doesn't have it.
