Mike Oldfield - Sailing

[@maitecebrianluque2049]

When I was a young girl I was completely in love with Mike Oldfield. (Platonic, of course). Now we're old, he's older than me, of course, but he's still really handsome. His music has been the company of my life and I will continue listen it until the end

[@Tarrassacordoba]

Really?..

[@aku5606]

we will always love his music

[@Fotel]

platonic??? don't you mean: platinum? . . . . . . HEHE

[@thornyturtleranch4u]

Was it ommadawn? It was for me. I was born in 1971, my folks played the record when i was a young child. It was wonderful.

[@joebrown756]

It was heregest ridge for me. Born in 64 but discovered his music in 1980. I miss the 70s very much but his music takes me back to that decade evertime. Bliss . oh and not forgetting omadawn and incantation. Heaven on a turntable. Thanks mike.

[@ingohein698]

Mike, ohne deine Musik wäre mein Universum armseling. Die Stimme von Luke ist der Hammer!

[@SashaKebo]

Mike Oldfield has created innovative, sincere, complex, and eternally beautiful music. He will go down in history as a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist and a composer of highest caliber. This song is lighter in character. If you are familiar with Mike's personal life, you should know that he struggled with many psychological and personal issues (lots of us did too, but that's not the point). The man is now HAVING FUN. Guess what? He CAN. But above all, Mr. Oldfield knows what he's capable of. He's done it all - done it very well and much, much better than even the best out there. Cheers.

[@emilezoulette882]

ok man...

[@KennCramerHanberg]

You are very right about all

[@WTtheHowling]

Didn't know about that... Well, no matter the cause, this is still much better than many pop songs. And yes, some fun is legitimate even for the Queen of England. :P

[@tadeuszkalinowski5647]

Yes it's true

[@jocelynmaquinto6091]

oh, thank you for sharing this information.. I love this lighter side of him....

[@aivalsonic3537]

Mike Oldfield is the best musician of the twentieth century. Incredible genius and multi-instrumentalist. For me, the best guitarist ever. Great melodies, sonorous instruments combined with such beautiful Celtic sounds. I'm a musician myself and a big fan of Mike Oldfield.❤❤❤

[@danielfernandez4280]

the best guitarist ever, recognized by many greats (Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Mark Knopfler, Carlos Santana, etc) is Paco de Lucía... but he already died

[@balgoet]

I can't sit still hearing this song .I'am 77 ! Greetings from Belgium

[@r.fumador1146]

SAAAAAAIIILING

[@linsayspence7070]

You don't often see his name come up in the top twenty guitarists of all time etc ,etc , etc. But in my book Mike Oldfield is one of the greatest guitar players that ever picked a guitar up , top five easily. He's written some fabulous music 😎

[@diegomujica4910]

I can't help but love how happy Mike looks here

Genius Mike Oldfield, combined with Luke Spiller = Mike Jagger and Freddie Mercury, two in one!! Incredible song, and fantastic vocals!!

[@dennisolding4352]

I'm 24 years old and over the last two years I have warmed up to mike oldfield's music and most of his songs are so underrated and just sitting here in the house listening to to him absolutely an amazing glad to have come across this

[@roystapleton699]

Did u view his video up in Scotland? Awesome.

[@ChristopherBush-j4r]

All you aspiring musicians listen to this genius and say to yourselves, "can i get near this man".

[@mikeshaw3852]

This song is a real tonic. Mike is known for his timeless classics but he knows how to produce classic pop! The young Luke Spiller is a perfect choice. Looks like they had a lot of fun making the video too. Rock On Mike.

[@zk513]

Mike always preferred writing music like Tubular Bells, Hergest Ridge, Crises etc: complex, long, meditative pieces. However, he admitted once that he was somewhat "forced" to write short "pop-ish" songs to satisfy a greater public that he usually placed on the B-sides of his records. This is how classics like Moonlight Shadows, Man in the Rain, Shine, Shadow on the Wall, Crime of Passion - and also Sailing - were born.

[@selfote44]

Luke Spiller's look remind me the young Freddy Mercury of 1973-1976

[@darkmicke1329]

Agree they both make this song so good

[@adrianandlaura]

Dad rock at it’s best. Oldfield is still brilliant after all these years.

[@vanshayrapetyan1752]

Is still finne after this Years.Woww it is !

[@vanshayrapetyan1752]

Mike is awesome is too 1971s.

[@mariah7643]

This album proves that Mike still knows how to write pop music, this feature song is easy listening and you will find yourself singing in the chorus, reminds me of the 1980days of Moonlight Shadow, Crises, Shadow on the wall, Poison Arrows etc ❤

[@emilianogonzalez5356]

It is incredible that a multifaceted composer and guitar player (one of the best) from the 70s and 80s shows us that after concentrating on New Age music, then even makes non-pop rock that he compose it masterfully, and he also has such an ear that he knew how to choose this great young voice, perfectly fine as he did in the 80s with Moon Light Shadow and in the 90s with Man in the Rain. Olfield is one of the best musicians ever, and this last afirmation is not an exageration. Gos bless him!

[@eggman1978]

Such a Great song. Mike what superb writer/ composer and player. Great voice and energy by this young man a song that makes you feel good. Need more of these for sure

[@mannab2975]

I thank my older brother for introducing me to Mike Oldfield's songs when I was in High School. I have been a huge fan since then. Aaminsan Oldfield is a brilliant musician and virtuoso guitar player. Thank you for bringing some much joy to us Rock Fans.

[@gdionwood]

Amazing collaboration! The amazing musical talent of Mike Oldfield and the brilliant voice and personality of Luke Spiller! It doesn't get any better!!

[@razcaz1]

Mike Oldfield....brilliant artist....Luke Spiller...amazing vocals

[@ciprianpopica]

I was out of wind, food and water for four days trying to sail from Cuba to Mexico... and while all the other boats were calling desperately on the radio trying to get a ship to tow them.. I was dancing on deck on this song haha. Now is more like a theme song for bad days. But one day I will have another boat and just go... sailing.

[@Ulli_G._aus_D.]

Mike Oldfield's Musik ist ein Licht in der Dunkelheit, er verkörpert für mich die universelle Harmonie ... auch wenn ich mal nicht gekifft oder gesoffen habe, echt ey!

[@MrRoztoc]

Oh my God, I ignored Mike's last albums for years and yesterday I did give this song a try and it blew me away immediately! Same with "Man on the Rocks". So incredibly good. Sorry, Mike.

[@Hammster69official]

Okay, this is a good start. If this is any indication, MAN ON THE ROCKS could be Mike's best album in thirty years.

[@robertstewart239]

Great to see Mike back in full swing, and this singer is great, looks like a young Freddie Mercury!

This is the version that should have made it onto the album. Great song by Mike Oldfield and great vocals by Luke Spiller of The Struts! The very best.

[@jekaniahgeorge6799]

Hi. I’m just discovering this most brilliant album. It’s a masterpiece. There’s an edge but a lightness and of course some amazing chord structures in these songs. Dreaming in the Wind as well as this song are so wonderful and light. Moonshine is beautiful, with harming to Chris de Burgh’s brilliant “Leather On My Shoes.” Just wonderful. I wish Mike would write more vocal albums.

[@jacquespats5796]

I knew mike oldfields music from.a young age even then when i didint understand i just knew this music was above extraordinary. There is not a week in my life where at some stage i havent listen to his music. Its not something youd get tired off . Thank you mr oldfield for exceptional material over the years

[@VBEd666]

There is only one word appropriate for this new song "AWESOME". This will be a number one smash hit for certain. Rarely do I like songs after just one listening. Mike Oldfield, you are a freak.

The camera work in this video is phenomenal - at 0:54, for example, the camera person moves within the comfort zone of the singer for added "intimacy" - and the editing in many places is very clever.

[@progrock21]

I am an "old school" epic Oldfield fan where TB, Hergest Ridge , Ommadawn and Music Of The Spheres rule but I have to say this is very catchy and I have caught myself singing it more than once so it is defo growing on me.

[@carsont7215]

ditto :) don't forget Amarok though. It's legendary...

[@Vaisin]

I can't help but feel Mike Oldfield deserves more recognition. Most poeple that have heard his music know he's a great musician, but I think he desrves much more. We mostly don't see him in rankings on the best music acts and people do not talk about him that much. His soundtrack on The Killing Fields wasn't even nominated for the Oscars and he only has won one Grammy. I think he should have won more and it seems people only know him because of Tubular Bells and ''Moonlight Shadow'' when he has put out amazing records like Hergest Ridge, Ommadawn, Platinum, QE2, Crises, Discovery, Amarok, The Songs of Distant Earth, the Tubular Bells sequels, Man on the Rocks....

[@hildefischer1169]

Absolutely.

[@PlanetaAlvi]

Para los que creen que saben de música y se lanzan a la piscina con una crítica facilona: Solo ha habido en la historia un músico más precoz y prolífico que Mike Oldfield y fue el mismísimo Mozart que compuso su primera sinfonía con 8 años. Mike Oldfield esperó hasta los 16 para componer su primera sinfonía, Tubular Bells, en donde interpretó para su grabación con más de dos docenas de instrumentos. A los 22 ya era considerado un genio y fue nombrado miembro honorífico de la Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Cualquier cosa que edite Oldfield cuenta con una diferencia sobre otros artistas: todo lo ha "parido" él mismo. Desde la idea hasta el resultado final pasando por la interpretación de una gran multitud de instrumentos, detalle que le convierte en un showman en sus conciertos. ¿Pondriais a la misma altura a cantantes de caraoke como Bisbal, Bustamante u otros perroflautas que solo sirven para poner la voz?
