[@Rev-Martin]

Absolutely wonderful to hear this again. The arrangement is beautiful.

[@MorganPochin]

Thanks for that - such a great song to orchestrate!

[@dyoung5009]

@@MorganPochin can you buy it anywhere? It would be great for a school band!

[@MorganPochin]

@@dyoung5009 Don't think you can I'm afraid. Such a great song, it was such a joy to work on.

[@TheLadyHelena]

Oh god, this is beautiful. I've loved this song since its original release; more relevant with every passing year than it was 30-odd years ago, and still absolutely perfect. Tremendous.

[@tarcisberberat7865]

Listened it 10x in a row.. Unbelievably beautiful 😍

[@bazza8855]

Awesome. Well summarised.

[@mikewoollard667]

Man that was beautiful, such a fitting song and an absolute classic

[@wileyolekyote6470]

Take a great old song, add a little maturity and mix in a blinding orchestra and what do you have? MAGIC!

[@ac158]

That is just plain beautiful I've been saying for months now that nothing ever happens and I came across this song and I could cry it is so perfect for what's happening today you are a beautiful human being and I'll leave it at that

[@JasonFoxLCB]

Gorgeous. Been 25 years since I've seen them. Hope they come around my way soon.

[@theshogunstein6475]

Waking Hours is one of the best records of all time

[@quantumastrologer5599]

I'd claim it's some other suckers parade but my personal history is deeply intertwined with that record.

[@BassPlayerNcl]

Gorgeous. Great to hear Del Amitri are getting so much exposure after twenty years of relative quiet (save the recent tours). Here’s to more! Congratulations everyone 😊🎵🎶❤️

[@jennylees9425]

This song reminds me of my late sister, she loved it, so this beautiful version brought me to tears, lovely to watch talented musicians too.

[@pauldaviesantiques1556]

Thank you Del Amitri.

Musical perfection. Hits the emotions..

[@lesleymills2798]

I just love Del Amitri, everything they do

[@paulmorgan5661]

Magnificent! Absolutely magnificent. This arrangement would make a great single

[@TheEnrieb]

I just searched for this song again after it made such an impression on me when it was originally released. It's so amazing there this new fresh performance from a few days ago. Great song, it's a piece of art, they could hang it in a gallery to survive constant action replay. A thousand years from now people will play this song.

[@mrwirrall]

A brilliant version of one of the best songs ever written, proper job!

[@joytackett2128]

So true bless you all

[@spencerbuffery637]

Just shed a tear, beautiful xx

[@DarkAutumn3D]

I've been a singer, pianist and musician for 27 years. Seeing stuff like this makes me feel so happy that I have music as an outlet. It's such a gift to humanity!

[@johnnymittens77]

This song just popped into my head, so I thought I'd find it on KZbin and reminisce... And there's this absolutely stunning version.

[@joytackett2128]

Beautiful thanks

[@andydobson9799]

It doesn’t get any better! A great song, singing and orchestration that lifts and swoops and adds so much without distracting or overpowering the core essence. I can only imagine how technically complex this was to put together. And the lyrics are as beautiful, observant and relevant as they ever were. Maybe “nothing ever happens” but let’s at least appreciate the beauty that can happen with collaboration, skill, talent, practise and just a desire to make something wonderful!

[@truckerboy93]

Absolutely fantastic well done all 👍

[@MusicManVann]

Unbelievable. I’m relearning this song after many, many years for some one to one music sessions with a young man with several complex needs. This has blown me away, and reduced this 51 y/o male to a blubbing wreck, bravo to all involved, but mostly to Justin Currie.

[@alyorkie6]
