Seit vielen Jahrzehnten höre ich diese Musik wahnsinnig gerne. Sie ist zeitlos, emotional, gibt Freude. Man kann sie auch noch in 50 Jahren weiter hören. Wundervoll und herzergreifend. Ich bin froh 1999 ein Konzert in Bonn miterlebt zu haben. Wunderbare Erinnerung.

[@jurgen6122]

Zeitlos schöne Musik, seit über 45 Jahren höre ich Mike Oldfield. Ich hab ihn leider auch nur einmal live gesehen…..1984.

[@tomtomd.6841]

Mike Oldfield und Kate Bush , 2 musische Genies die ich das Glück habe seit Jahrzehnten verfolgen zu dürfen. Bis heute bin ich förmlich euphorisiert wenn ich diese Musik höre. Das Konzert in Bonn war übrigens klasse.

[@UteAlbers-yd1se]

Ich höre seine Musik auch immer wieder gerne,und das auch schon seit zig Jahren. Leider habe ich nie ein Konzert von ihm gesehen,aber die Konzerte die ich auf DVD hab, sehe ich mir auch immer wieder gern an . Er ist einfach ein Top Musiker 👍🙂

This Song reminds me of my deceased father who died from Creutzfeld-Jakob-Disease. It has been his ringtone for my entire life and I am always tearing up listening to this beautiful song remembering the years that I had with him. After over 10 years I finally realized how great this song is and how masterfully it's been done

I helped care for my step father through Parkinsons. A few hours after he died i was walking round to my sisters to smoke a number, put his ipod on random and out of 1200 songs this came on. I'm not a spirtual person however it really felt like he was reaching beyond the grave to play this astounding piece of music. Gbnf!!

[@johnsulistyo9856]

I knew this song firstly from the Shadows (when I was just 9 yrs old in early 60's) and the first time I knew Mike Oldfield is from his Tubular Bells album (when I was about 17). Till today I love the songs from both The Shadows and Mike Oldfield's...

[@bigjazzer9888]

As I recall this piece was originally by the Shadows and I loved it then, when Mike Oldfield added his magic it became a truly wonderful piece of music

Hi Mike, I thank God above for your incredible talent. Your tireless efforts to develop this God given gift is very inspiring. If I’m a typical fan, my experience is that your music has been executed in such a way as to comfort lonely people, console the grieving, and encouraging problem over comers, while fussing anger. It inspires hope that God’s Love is all around in the physical beauty of this world. With sincere and humble respect, I Pray that you’ve discovered Jesus Christ in your spiritual journey. Seeing your talent in heaven would be amazing ✝️💜✝️ Thank You

We had this while my dad was carried in to his funeral.i listen to it every day

[@captainbimble]

It's nice to think Mike had such respect for Hank that he made this version.

[@zk513]

Mike Oldfield is one of the three modern music geniuses beside Tuomas Holopainen of Nightwish and Arjen Lucassen of Ayreon. Please understand me correctly, there has been a sh!tload of talented componists and musicians/performers in the past 60 years or so, but for me these three are the absolute top. A truly talented multi-instrumentalist, an unprecedentedly succesful career of 5 decades, gazillions of sold albums - but what grips the listener most - the pure raw emotions translated by Mike's music. Thank you Mike for letting us enjoy your music.

[@jiggermast]

I don't usually like revamped classics, especially 60s classics, but this is spot on,

[@michaelsolomons1456]

Can you top the shadows properly not but Mike adds a dimension to this beautiful peace of music god bless you all and I hope you find the truth soon

[@pablodominguez6921]

It was 1990 and I was alone and lost. I was 16, damaged and lost. I found confort in this song and I also found hope, it helped me imagine how amazing things would be. And I come back to it once a while to remember that time.

Mike wanted mine at his funeral and got it! I wanted Arrival to be played, then another great piece by Mr. Oldfield was played My parents even went to a concert with him, the 1st and only ...

[@radiostationoffice]

Absolutely fantastic piece of music

[@javiermorales6174]

Absolute Mike's venerator here. And yet I have always considered paradoxal that one of the themes you most clearly notice the Oldfield-touch within, is this Shadows composition. I owe a lot to QE2: first MO song I ever heard was Sheba. And I instantaneously thought like "OMFG! (kinda, but in Spanish) WHO HAS POSSIBLY PUT TOGETHER A MUSIC LIKE THIS?" Not a second listen needed. And the Reading kid got me hooked until today. My personal choice: if you get inspired by this touch in a 3min format, go enjoy 37min of the same in Ommadawn - part 1. My preferred Mike Oldfield music ever.

Hello Mike, The Shadows where before my time so I became to know and love your version of Wonderful Land. As a 12 year old I saw you performing live at Zurich Hallenstadion - my very first big concert my parents brought me to =) it was a very magic moment in my life and is lasting as something outstanding untill today. Thank you for your great piece of music art !

[@robertheilmeier2671]

+Daniela Koidl Very similar story here, only a few years ago I learned about the Shadows, but since my teenage years when Mike´s version was played in the German charts it has alway been HIS original song for me. My sister bought me his album QE2 (and also "Water Bearer", by his amazing sister Sally Oldfield, which I can wholeheartedly recommend!) and I also discovered his other, older albums like Hergest Ridge, Ommadawn, Tubular Bells and Incantations which I also just LOVED and which helped me a great deal during very difficult phases in my late teenage years. I was lucky enough to see him in concert in Passau, Bavaria, in the early 80s then during his "Five miles out" and "Crises" tour. Absolutely unforgettable, and although I at times have veered away a bit from him I always come back after years and his music (and this song, with which it all began!) still touch me to the core.. Yes, Mike, thank you so much for what you have shared with us! Und herzlichen Gruß und Segenswünsche an dich!

[@Yarp70]

during the 80's in Australia this song would be played as the ABC was shutting transmission for the night. Loved it then and it took me years to find it again. It's such a beautiful song and it still makes me smile.
