Paul Buchanan - Mid Air

[@jam-nc8ut]

I listened incessantly to this song, and the sublime album from which it was taken, in the last normal year of my life. I walked along the canal in glistening sun, and played in the park with my nephews, with this as the ongoing soundtrack - sometimes in my mind, often actually playing out loud. I had no idea that my life my about to change irredeemably within months. Now, this song is like crystal to me, I can barely touch it, but it is eternally, incredibly beautiful - even more so now than then - and a way to access the quiet slow motion sunshine my memory tells me that life once was.

[@Britgirl58]

You tore my heart apart. I am terribly sorry for whatever is hurting you so.

[@freezemedia]

i’m crying reading this comment and i don’t even know you. life may not ever go back to the way that it was, but Tolstoy said it best: “As long as there is life, there is happiness. there is a great deal, a great deal before us.” hold on for that. i believe in you.

[@johnnyhall3942]

May you find peace and future joy.

[@jonwallace9985]

I completely know what you mean...

[@johnmcintosh5413]

Very powerful words difficult because they touch a nerve with so many others and remember the journey has many dreams to turn into experiences jump on them ❤️🙏

[@isthegug]

knew this song because of About Time. I've been in love with it since then.

[@NOThanslopez]

Same here bro ! One of the best movies i’ve ever seen :,)

[@missing1102]

That's one of my favorite movies.

[@isthegug]

still love it to this day

[@joespart4782]

Just watched About Time this week. Loved it and this song

[@majorburke9735]

If you could, what would you change in your past?

[@da5idnz]

A voice, a piano, a seemingly simple melody, with enough power to devastate emotionally :`)

[@robertzaleski5722]

Well said

[@reverie_song]

Truly

[@sumanmaheshwari3542]

Ahhhh I heard glimpse of this in the movie” about time “ and immediately searched. Omg what emotions. Loveeeee it.

[@daronaldridge684]

Check out Paul's other work with The Blue Nile

[@BobStein]

Yes, that was when I first heard it. Just heard it again in the pilot of "Shrinking" and used at a very right moment.

[@majorburke9735]

If you could, what would you change in your past?

[@marypecock6773]

A most touching song that I feel so blessed to have come across in the movie About Time.

[@victorsanchez8636]

About Time is a very beautiful film, and this song fit it so perfectly.

[@davidtyler6329]

I'm so glad I listened during the end credits and heard this. What a beautiful song.

[@chadfavre]

The world is a more beautiful place because this exists. Thank you.

[@JamiesMemorycom]

The achingly beautiful lifts and troughs of notes in perfect sequence stir my soul...I feel it, it touches me...makes me cry every time I listen ❤❤❤

[@terrydear4038]

Is there a more honest, more vulnerable musical artist than Paul Buchanan? I don’t think so, he is astonishing with his ability to move. His musical journey with The Blue Nile is well worth visiting.

[@raibarker6792]

Stuning indeed

[@mindrolling24]

Please make more music Paul. The world desperately needs more beauty such as this x

[@raibarker6792]

I still can't get over how this Song moves me .. absolutely A precious Gem

[@MalFunktion2024]

The kind of music that only comes from the heart of old men. A beautiful inspiration for me.

[@lumlet333]

This slays me every single time. I love his voice and his phrasing so much. Masterful.

[@nebulahwaluyo]

I probably will never get married but somehow I can see this song being played at my wedding. It's just that beautiful I could cry.

[@chiselsgirl]

RIP my sweet ,darling ,for ever loved Husband …I’ll always see you standing in Mid air 🥺♥️

[@nocopiesminombre]

So easy. But so magical...

[@rayna3244]

No nudity or profanity, just pure heart, soul and talent. Worth a thousand pop songs, truly beautiful song and wonderfully performed.

[@frankkrank3970]

I'm smiling and crying at the same time ......

[@sfelm]

I don't want this song to end...

[@jonjonlambo]

this is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard....

[@davewilson9738]

Heart-breakingly beautiful.

[@molona1503]

감사합니다, 당신의 목소리가 제 작은 마음을 위로해주네요

[@markharris2117]

as all of our lives eventually fade into the half light, i'm continually floored by the way this song captures the fragile majesty of life itself, especially when we see it through the lens of the lives of our loved ones - the ones we adore, the ones we crave, the ones we cherish - it makes us realize just how magical life can be, and how in the end, it always seems to be suspended in mid air.

[@hugosanchez7599]

Discovered this in About Time, one of the best songs I've ever heard

[@gasparjarry1484]

Paul, you are a gift for this troubled world

[@Buru80]

Discovered only a couple of days ago, where have I been? Better late than never, I suppose. So beautiful. The Blue Nile as well. Happy ears for days to come.

[@MemskiBobSki]

Hats (their 2nd album) is perfect.

[@yvetteromero7576]

@@MemskiBobSki one of the best crafted albums of all time

[@eamonrodgers4751]

Is he the most underrated musician ever, I think so, l adore Paul, a magical musician, he don’t do bad toons ❤

[@jonking7345]

I'm here because of it being in "Shrinking" What a touching song

[@adamgault7741]

It's the most beautiful 2+ minutes I've ever heard.

[@johningram5186]

Omg if this song does not touch your heart then you are not alive my friend .one of my all time favourite songs .its just pure class

[@ozzyeats6461]

I cried the first time I heard this song and just cried now, the hundredth time !!! Mr. Buchanan permeates my soul to it's core with this rendition. I cannot imagine anyone else singing it and kind of hope no one else does.

[@denehan]

One of my favourite songs ever by one of my favourite ever singers. I wrote the below poem for it, and Paul. :) Standing in Mid Air For Paul Buchanan His voice is ice cracking a wind resting a hailstorm ending his voice is porcelain breathing a leaf falling embers fading his voice is the land sighing broken glass crunching a mirror misting his words are everything else

[@wwonka52]

Oh, so nice. I'm in the U.S.A., 71 years old and learned about Paul and Blue Nile somehow by mistake about 10 years ago. Thanks again. (Bill)

[@denehan]

@@wwonka52 Hi Bill, thank you very much for taking the time to read. Paul recently played a few new songs in Glasgow so maybe there might be a new album on the horizon. :)

[@elliottshapiro8601]

Nice

[@denehan]

@@elliottshapiro8601 Thanks a million. :)

[@KieranMcCarthy]

That's the craft of genius songwriting...

[@Gabriel-me6pi]

I come back to listen to this beautiful song every now and then.

[@aidangriffin8183]

Mindblowing - pure poetry and beauty. I’d love to see Paul live - he’s terrific. Maybe the Blue Nile will do a 30th anniversary of ‘Hats’ tour

[@MultiImpromptu]

I've just discovered him ! It's not too late to enjoy his art,truly from the heart. Amazing.

[@monkeyface6139]

Everytime it's shivers up the spine...I dunno what happens. Those songs of his are mesmerising...subtle, regretful...beyond beautiful.

Lyrics The buttons on your collar The color of your hair I think I see you everywhere I want to live forever And watch you dancing in the air All the lies and make believe The very things that one day leave But I can see you standing in mid air The girl I want to marry Upon the high trapeze The day she fell and hurt her knees And only time can make you The wind that blows away the leaves For everything that life was worth The fallen snow, the virgin birth Yeah I can see her standing in mid air I can see you standing in mid air.
