Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott - Loving Arms

[@michaelobrien9825]

PAUL HEATON HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST UNDERRATED SINGER/SONGWRITERS THAT BRITAIN 🇬🇧 HAS EVER KNOWN ?.

I really hope you're doing well now sir

The town I grew up in. Still keep coming back to this song after all these years.

[@kendibble9963]

I've been deeply moved by Paul Heaton's singing and songwriting since The Housemartins. May he always remember to bring us the beauty and the pain, from the bottom of the dirty little glass.

[@michaelobrien9825]

Great annihilation Ken.

[@neilmorrison3288]

Has to be one of the greatest songwriters of all time ( simple lyrics, beautifully written)

[@stuarthanna2417]

Tom Jans wrote & sang the original.

[@knubir]

I'm still here listening to Paul and Jaqui 7 years after my previous comment. And I'm still in love with these two genuine artists. They don't have to collect "likes" in social media. They are here. For us. 😊😊😊

[@christhomas5353]

I have always loved Paul and jacqui since the beautiful South and Paul when he started with the house Martins

[@JeffreyFay]

My thoughts exactly. Feel very lucky to be able to enjoy their work whilst most people are "liking" whomever the idiot box tells them to...

[@mauvechalk]

It hurts me to my core when I see fantastic, talented singers and lyricists like Paul, Jacqui and the rest of the band struggle to get heard and played on the radio. I think Paul is the John Betjeman of this generation and I just can't believe how someone from the same kind of background as me can turn into such a complete genius. This is a fantastic version of a fantastic song and Jacqui just makes the song her own.

[@lyndseykramer]

I to am stunned that these two hugely talented lyricists struggle to get heared. I asked Paul about it online, sort of, I asked him why: The Beautiful South hadn't 'made it in the US'? He answered and said they had. However, such a talent as that should have made a much bigger impact? Paul is the John Betjeman of this generation, or near as damn it. So why do they not get the recognition? I just don't get it.

[@neilt7145]

Get the Album by Beautiful South "Carry on up the Charts".... There's not a song on there that isn't intelligently written and beautifully sung....

[@michelle88960]

mauvechalk I call him the poetic Lowry.

[@cubicinches18]

There are so many fantastic musicians throughout the world that don't get media coverage. Here in little old Tasmania there is a great music culture but you don't get to hear any of them on even local radio

[@mauvechalk]

@@cubicinches18 It's such a shame isn't it, I know they can't play everything but they can broaden the music played so much more. Maybe they could play stuff based on how great the song is rather than how pretty the singer is.

[@alanfox4172]

Jacqui abbot without question was the best female singer in the beautiful south out of the three female vocalists they had in the band time.

[@tomlangley2416]

Great moving version of this song.

[@filiboy10]

Buried my Mother to this today. Lovely version.

[@sarahwaldron3868]

[@mrob1960]

This might be the best version of this song I have heard. This should have been a number one record.

[@leewilliams2763]

Agree. Just listened to Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge's version, this is much better

[@martinomahony8101]

@@leewilliams2763 Yes; there's been very many recordings of this beautiful song and this is still my favourite version.

Fantastic. Love the Brass. Dobie Gray version is superb.

[@HolmesUkraine]

Yankee in Hou. TX Here. Discovered this beautiful song maybe a month ago. Almost brings me to tears. Well done Paul and Jacqui.

[@knubir]

I discovered Beautiful South, a well preserved secret at least for norwegians by chance.. I heard "Dont merry her, have me" on radio and was curious to know who the singer was. Jacqui Abbott. My God!! I have now been through most records from the group and from their reunion. Paul Heaton is right. He discovered a Rolls Royce which had been covered for 11 years in the garage. She (an he) is a great singer, one of the greatest! With a voice similar to Karen Carpenters and Mama Cass (Cassandra Elliot). Loving Arms is a great song with a very original arrangement. (Salvation Army sound). Fine she is back where she belongs. And what a lovely personality and beauty.

[@paulfrancs3315]

knubir simon from cornwall uk you great taste in music

[@jamesbasile4589]

I watch/listen to this, bawl my eyes out, forget about it for a while, make my way back to it and bawl my eyes out again, and again.

[@ingidraws]

What a treasure you both are -- a finer duo is hard to find! I remember when I heard the Housemartins for the first time (in Iceland) -- I was 17 and had just walked into a 'disco' with two good friends and 'Me and the farmer' was blasting -- and my legs had to move. Then later with TBS, you followed me through love, breakups, cosy evening sofa-moments and whatnots of everything :) Now in my 52nd year and currently in my second week of a Paul Heaton KZbin/iTunes deep dive -- I'm amazed by the fact how many of the (older) songs/lyrics went way over my head ... but maybe that isn't so strange for someone who wasn't aware of the situation in England and maybe didn't pick up on the language and lingo ---- but, to listen now, with my more experienced ears; and with good 9 years under my belt from living in Middlesbrough, the gravity of your work and storytelling is hitting home like never before! Poems is currently my absolute favourite song, what a treat for these ears! :) Anyway - much love and thanks for it all and all that's still to come :D

[@phildean8797]

Just came across these singles. This had me aim tears. Brought back memories of the brass I was brought up with. My dad, the Pennines all combined with two of my favourite voices. I just wish he’d been alive to hear it.

[@LaurenceBakerAdobe]

As a southerner with a Liverpool born mum. There's so much I can't articulate - but I get it all the same.

[@andrewlees7445]

Brings me out in Goosebumps every time I here this...

[@LaurenceBakerAdobe]

If there was a song that reflected what we are going through now with the loss of family, friends and colleagues - this song is it.

[@handybaggy]

WAIT!! This is filmed around where I live!! 😮

[@Kevin-w3r9x]

Jacqui has such a beautiful voice.

[@stevedavies3498]

Class is permanent and Paul Heaton is CLASS. Him and Jacqui are perfect for each other musically

[@PhillConnell]

Wow, what a beautiful song, and seeing Glossop like that is lovely. Also, the sounds of brass played so softly is a pleasure. Takes me back to my solo baritone days as a slightly rubbish youth band player.

[@yosserhughes139]

Don’t be so hard on yourself. I have it from very good authority that you were a very rubbish youth band player. The worst that’s ever been, if some people are to be believed.

[@bobbypark]

Another beautiful song by this pair of talented artists

[@scouseronthewirral]

Tom Jans Wrote It, Dobie Gray had a hit with it in 1973, Elvis also recorded a Great Country Rock Version in December’73

[@scrumpyjack]

A beautiful song by beautiful people, music to me is my eyes into the world, I have my inner problems and struggle everyday thank god for music

[@georgesmith291]

Tom Jans would be so proud. Many folks have covered this tune but these two just absolutely nail it. I am always amazes at how few people know about the talent of this duo. Beautiful south was one of the most underrated bands to ever come dow the pike. Is it any wonder that they do this tune so well?

[@taramagennis2400]

Fantastic brings tears to my eyes and I am Irish

[@denisbeguier8360]

Never heard the original but this is just perfect: the voices, the melodies, the brass band, the images. You're so blessed to have artists of this calibre on the other side of the pond! Hats off!

[@leecalvinmusic]

Superb harmonies from Paul really compliment Jacqui’s stunning vocals. Loved this song since the Jools Holland tv special back in 97.

[@rorymayes5155]

[@PuceBaboon]

Trisha, Grab the Millie Jackson version (she doesn't swear once, honest!).It is -the- very best produced version out there (makes Elvis sound like a rank amateur). This version (Jaqui and Paul's) gives me goosebumps and the Millie Jackson version does too, but you won't believe how different they are until you hear them. Another really good version is Mel and Piet Veerman's at kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpzcn2x6ba6Ypsk (I can only find it on KZbin -- If anyone knows where we can buy it, please let me know).
