mike oldfield the bell videoclip

the official release of the main theme of tubular bels II "The bell"

[@kylekerwin4993]

Mike deserves the honorary medal of music contributions to humanity award. People who are able to possess the ability to write, play, create on this level of knowledge and caliber, are those chosen few individuals that deserve to be recognised and worthy of such. What a gift for the chosen. What a gift for humanity.

The build up toward the end with grandad saying tubular bells is amazing

[@keitharksey8622]

Grandad was great guy !! ( bonkers of course !) Be proud. Be very proud. He made lots of people very happy.

[@freestyleflatearthaklnz4034]

Is he genuinely your grandad? Some people say he was the same person as "Faul" McCartney.

[@harrystanshall5088]

@@freestyleflatearthaklnz4034 Yeah he is, he has been apart of the Paul is dead therapy for decades now, it's partly nice to see him still spoken about even if it is in fake conspiracies... either way its nice to see people still listening to viv.

[@Mixxathon]

@@harrystanshall5088 He will never be forgotten. Even a few spoken lines is enough to want to know more - so his legend will continue as long as there is Tubular Bells.

[@RussinTirnaNog]

In this video, it is the late Vivian Stanshall. He was the origonal voice in TB1 in the early '70s

[@davidkero1320]

J'ai découvert Mike Oldfield en 1974 quand mon prof d'école (lui-même grand musicien) nous l'a fait découvrir. Pour moi Tubular Bells 2 est la quintessence même de la musique, tout simplement

[@dukejacob9566]

Yes, musical genius! Amazing masterpiece! This is Mike Oldfield! Perfect! Thank you, Mike! You are great!

Fue mi primer disco de Mike Oldfield... tenía 15 años. Mi vida cambió para siempre y te doy las gracias por ello.

ALGUIÉN PUEDE EXPLICAR POQUE ESTA COMPOSICIÓN MUSICAL HA CAUTIVANDO POR MÁS DE 50 AÑOS NUESTROS SENTIDOS ???? DESDE LA PRIMERA VEZ QUE LO ESCUCHÉ EN 1973 ESTOY FASCINADO. REALMENTE HA SIDO "TOCADO POR LA MANO DE DIOS"

[@thomasfleig1780]

I always loved this riff. First used in the original Tubular Bells in 1974.

Vivian Stanshall had a unique musicality in just his voice. like Oliver Postgate, Brian Cant and Alan Coren, I can listen to all of them talking for hours on end.

I love this song. It's fantastic. This singer is the best.

[@uckridge1]

@rikleith Vivian Stanshall is the bloke in this piece who did the MC intro on the 1973 original, appropriately for Virgin Records' first record release. Inspired by the Bonzo Dog Doo Da Band's 'The Intro and the Outro' , dated late 60s featuring Viv as the band's lead vocalist.. It's on you tube

[@georgetebbens3524]

It's been about 40 years since Jenny and I used to listen to this.

[@dunx1964]

Doesn't get any better than this!! shear perfection!

[@azapro911]

I love the fact that Oldfield refused to write Tubular Bells 2 for Virgin Records because they tried to pressure him into it, then went to another label and immediately wrote TB2 just to annoy Richard Branson. Class. Thank goodness he did write it though. What a lovely song The Bell is.

[@filipkindblad]

Best song in the world

[@ShadowTheRabbit]

Sends chills down my spine. So beautiful.

[@williamclifford1431]

Alan Waits on vocals,lovely calming voice,big fan of him as well as Mike Oldfield, nice collaboration.

[@martinscars]

@Pro-Vegan Anti-NASA it was Alan Rickman on the studio album but Vivian stanshall on this video

[@uckridge1]

Belongtanick - I thank you. Oldfield and 'Lord' Stanshall, a great melding of British eccentricity the likes of which have never been seen nor likely to be matched. I urge readers of this site to look at Viv's great works.

[@sp77sp77]

this version of the bell is the best

[@jiyu9694]

@Patrick Armstrong I greatly prefer the original album version, narrated by Alan Rickman. This version is much shorter, skipping key portions like "the Venetian effect" and the entire ending sequence. The original was much better and more emotionally moving. And why in the world, when the narrator introduces the bass GUITAR, do they instead show a bass VIOLIN??? Other than a similar tonal range, the two instruments are nothing alike.

[@greatcitysportaction2289]

Agreed

[@greatcitysportaction2289]

@Patrick Armstrong agreed

[@jiyu9694]

​@@greatcitysportaction2289 How can you agree with both of us, when I think the original version is best and Patrick thinks this shortened version is best? Or do you like them both equally?

[@greatcitysportaction2289]

@@jiyu9694 This shortened version but I wish he could say the Glockenspiel and the finale of the song like how we see on the album version. However I still like this version better.

[@coppelltvrepair]

This must be in the top 3 best minimalist pieces ever done and the video simply does not make it justice. The album version is WAY more polished than the one here, in nearly every single detail. Someone talented should just make a GREAT video with the original piece - I swear I'll watch it about million times myself alone...

[@pauldockree9915]

I saw Billy Connolly - once on a Royal Wedding Day. I mention it because it was a big hospitality tent outside Buckingham Palace and Mike Oldfield had several options for narrator on Tubular Bells 2 - including the Big Yin. And honestly any one of them would have done. But rest in peace Viv Stanshall and Alan Rickman. Oh Hoping for a Little Chaos

[@basantcol]

Fantasic video it's nice to see the original Mc Viv Stanshall, I NEVER FORGET HIM..

[@jonjuliecat]

The Chap doing the introductions is the amazing Vivian Stanshall - taken from us way too young ....

[@Ensign_Cthulhu]

IIRC he was in his middle age, so hardly "too young", but his death was indeed untimely and tragic (in a house fire, if memory serves me correctly, the poor bastard).

[@MrBobLucas]

This version with Viv just feels more right than the album one with Alan Rickman.. "and yet again, Tubular Bells" gives me chills every time!

[@1967davidfitness]

[@jiyu9694]

Apples and oranges. Oldfield isn't writing classical music.

[@madscientist1984]

Every one of them would be perfect for the videoclip. Each one gives Mike's extraordinary music a touch of freshness and elegance. As much as I like the clip, I must say that I prefer Alan Rickman's deep voice.

Another masterpiece by Mike Oldfield, I have been a fan for over twenty years. I must however differ from KEVINMCCLEAVE's comment on the narrator. The narrator from TB1 was Viv Stanshall who I believe died when his flat caught fire, an event that happened before the release of TB2. Thank you Mike for your wonderful sound
