I don't know why, but this song touches me so much that I always have to struggle with tears when I hear it...I would like to know myself why? It's not grief...it's something very special that grips me there...

[@delph2000]

Same! It hits an emotional spot somehow. Album version (live?) even better.

[@iantownsend6600]

[@siebenunddreissig]

One might argue that this would be connected to a certain taste of music but that almost doesn't have any impact at all.

[@jacquespats2128]

If you listen to this, great taste, i grew up with his music, im a 70s and 80s child now 51.i dont know any other music that can beat this, though i listen to most music types, i dont necessarily love all, or believe in it, except stuff to my taste.

[@rosemarie6913]

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 👍🙂

[@_2-FA]

I love you, Mike! The opening scenes say it all. Beautiful. 💙💜🖤🤍

[@Priyadarshan_Nag]

I have seen many musicians and heard their music but I had never seen or heard anyone like Mike Oldfield. Musical genius!

[@veigar7874]

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

[@80er4]

Bei so ein schönes lied kommen manche erinnerung hoch

[@chrisconroy165]

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!!

Je connais Mike OLDFIELD depuis 1981 et je découvre encore des chef d'œuvres que je ne connaissais pas, surtout les lives. Cet homme est un génie et son groupe, certains membres de sa famille, sont tous excellents, que de talent, d'émotion, de joie !... J'adore quand Maggie chante, quelle voix cristalline et merveilleuse ! Dans To France, Familly man, Foreign affair.... C'est magnifique. Ce clip est touchant, belles images, une musique que personne d'autre au monde n'a jamais composée, son bébé est adorable, j'aime cette famille ! Temperence

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

[@davidpbailey]

A great version of this Shadows classic. Great to think more contemporary artists are keeping this music alive!

The original version is very cheerful whereas Mike's version is more reverent. I prefer Mike's version.

In the 80's when i was only 10 years of age i found an album call QE2 and this beautiful song was on it and listening to it through headphones i felt an emotion that i had never felt before and so pathed the way to my love of music.

the classic Mike Oldfield moment...

[@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...

[@geraldmarkowitz]

I like very much the original version with The Shadows, but Mike Oldfield's version has so much sentiment in it that it's impossible not to like it and also very difficult sometimes to hold a tear. Beautiful !!!

[@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

[@oceanofsound73]

It's like a soundtrack for a pirate movie. A great composer/ musician.

[@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.

This song was the very first song (and video) that I have heard of Mike Oldfield when I was a young child.And it took me a lot of physical work and effort to collect the money to buy this vinyl as I was doing work for my parents to receive that money B-). But it was worth it, and still is ..And would be :-) I got hooked on Mike Oldfield with this song and still love it up to date even if I hear other music. But nothing ever gotten to that level B-).
