RIP Phil Lynott, the original and best Parson Nathaniel, gone 35 years now.

[@avengernemesis7990]

Totally agree with you both Australia ❤️

[@Flamingboy100]

Phil sang, acted, and played this role like a hand in glove. Nobody could have played it as he did. It just demonstrated how superb a singer and actor he was. We love you Phil x peace and love xx :-)

[@patmurphy6843]

When Phil sings you listen, he is like Elvis, he makes any song sound good

[@billyroberts6774]

agree

[@jamesbutler6253]

Elvis was a clown. Didn't write any music or lyrics himself, sang in a fake voice and could barely strum a guitar. Comparing him to a real musician and talent like Phil is ridiculous.

New fan of the man, always enjoyed boys back in town. Then rediscovered whiskey,moonlight,jailbreak,emerald,and discovering more like this from jeff waynes and kings call with mark knopfler,oh man what a track that is. At age 50 i feel i missed out on so much. If not for spotify and you tube i may never have found the man.

Phil Lynnot as Parson Nathaniel and Julie Covington as Beth (his wife). Jeff Wayne's The War Of The Worlds Musical Version. (1978). A great album.

[@jlid1]

I remember when this came out, I had to have it just because Phil sang on it. The rest of the album didn't disappoint either. I now have the original Lp, a Cassette and the remastered Cd's. A favorite for sure. I still miss Phil....

[@cskg25]

Try the SACD version, especially surround, it's mindblowing!

[@planomathandscience]

It is a masterpiece, and I thin k I like his work here more than his more famous material.

[@jimmo42]

For me it was the opposite. I bought it because I have been fan of the story since the 70s, plus it was (incorrectly) being marketed as a Justin Hayward album at the record store. I am a big Mood Blues fan, so I bought. I'm an even bigger Thin Lizzy fan, so when I heard Phil's voice, I also wet myself.

[@JoeRivermanSongwriter]

Great melodic song given one hell of a boost by Phil. I love the 3rd and 4th lines in the melody. Jeff Wayne's genius.

[@tonyy5482]

this tells you Phil could do anything , I think he lacked guidance, from a father maybe , to go so soon RIP

OH I get so emotionel when Phil rimes and sings. He is my personel GOD

[@eyeofset]

This track is my favorite off this album, along with the song Forever Autumn by Justin Haywood. All the songs are great but this stands as my all time favorite. The song itself and the title captures the spirit of the album.

[@LesterH25]

Phil was cool beyond cool. True musician.

[@BanquetNZ]

Loved the combination with Julie Covington too

[@raymondbrush6442]

The back and forth between Phil Lynot and Julie Covington makes this song epic IMO.

This is the ultimate war of the worlds recording, in my opinion never bettered. No one has ever created a stronger rendition.

[@XxpauldadudexX]

What a great Rock voice he had

[@FrozenHero2010]

This is a very good song, but it is part of a story and to understand the context of the song, one must listen to the whole story. I waited 30+ years to see Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of The Worlds on stage - very worth the wait. There were different people singing songs, but the whole performance was faithful to the album.

[@michaelpettersson4919]

The context: Nathaniel have totally lost it due to the ongoing invasion and the horrors it brings. Still I suspect that this guy would probably be on some sort of medication today. Maybe he is bipolar and Beth, his wife are used to set him straight during his moodswings. This time thou it is way worse due the circumstances and her sudden death finally push him over the edge. A tradgic figure really. In the book thou, no wife was mentioned and he was unnamed and mostly had annoying eating habits (not good when hiding with meager resources).

Phil is hardly just a bassist: vocalist, songwriter, poet, band leader, world class Rocker! (..and a Roller too honey). But respect to bassists too (e.g. Jack Bruce for heavens sake! Again, so much more too) and drummers (e.g. "The man at the back - Brian Downey on drums!").

[@skylinedrifter1970]

@Matshoppahulle Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of The Worlds was released 9th June 1978, but was recorded and mixed between 18th May 1976 and 30th June 1977 almost exclusively at Advision Studios in London. Phil's legendary performance was captured in November 1976, whilst he was suffering with flu - true dedication! Anyone loving this album should buy the 7 disc Collectors Edition. It's fantastic. ;)

This was a moment in time when everything and everyone aligned perfectly to produce what can only be called a milestone in musical history. There was nothing like this before its conception and there has been nothing like it since. It was simply a titanic achievement by all involved. The original cast obviously fully understood Jeff's Concept and just ran with it. Masterpiece is bandied around very loosely these days but this is an album that truly deserves that distinction.

The Spirit Of Man (Die Seele Des Menschen) Jeff Wayne I suddenly noticed the body of a parson lying on the ground in a ruined churchyard I felt unable to leave him to the mercy of the red weed, and decided to bury him, decently Nathaniel! Nathaniel! The parson's eyes flickered open He was alive! Nathaniel, I saw the church burst into flame, are you all right? Don't touch me! But it's me, Beth! Your wife! No! You're one of them - a devil! He's delirious! Lies! I saw the devil's sign! What are you saying? The green flash in the sky His demons were here all along, in our hearts and souls Just waiting for a sign from Him And now they're destroying our world! But they're not devils, they're Martians We must leave here! Look, a house still standing, come Nathaniel, quickly We took shelter in a cottage, and black smoke spread, hemming us in Then a fighting machine came across the field Spraying jets of steam that turned the smoke into thick, black dust Ulla! Dear God, help us! The voice of the Devil is heard in our land! Listen, do you hear them drawing near In their search for the sinners? Feeding on the power of our fear And the evil within us? Incarnation of Satan's creation of all that we dread When the demons arrive those alive would be better off dead! There must be something worth living for There must be something worth trying for Even some things worth dying for! And if one man can stand tall There must be hope for us all Somewhere, somewhere in the spirit of man Once there was a time when I believed Without hesitation That the power of love and truth could conquer all In the name of salvation Tell me what kind of weapon is love when it comes to the fight? And just how much protection is truth against all Satan's might? There must be something worth living for There must be something worth trying for Even some things worth dying for And if one man can stand tall There must be some hope for us all Somewhere, somewhere in the spirit of man People loved you, and trusted you, came to you for help Didn't I warn them this would happen? Be on your guard, I said, for the Evil One never rests I said exorcise the devil! But no, they wouldn't listen, the demons inside them grew and grew Until Satan gave his signal and destroyed the world we knew! No Nathaniel, oh no, Nathaniel No Nathaniel, no, there must be more to life There has to be a way that we can Restore to life the love we used to know (No) Nathaniel, no, there must be more to life There has to be a way that we can Restore to life the light that we have lost Now darkness has descended on our land And all your prayers cannot save us Like fools we've let the devil take command Of the souls that God gave us To the altar of evil like lambs to the slaughter were led When the demons arrive the survivors will envy the dead! There must be something worth living for (No, there is nothing!) There must be something worth trying for (I don't believe it's so!) Even some things worth dying for If just one man could stand tall There would be some hope for us all Somewhere, somewhere in the spirit of man Forget about goodness and mercy, they're gone! Didn't I warn them? Pray, I said! Destroy the devil, I said! They wouldn't listen! I could have saved the world! But now it's too late, too late! No Nathaniel, oh no, Nathaniel No Nathaniel, no, there must be more to life There has to be a way that we can Restore to life the love we used to know (No) Nathaniel, no, there must be more to life There has to be a way that we can Restore to life the light that we have lost Dear God! A cylinder's landed on the house And we are underneath it, in the pit! The Martians spent the night making a new machine It was a squat, metallic spider with huge, articulated claws But it, too, had a hood in which a Martian sat I watched it pursuing some people across a field It caught them nimbly and tossed them into a great metal basket upon its back Beth! She's dead! Buried under the rubble Why? Satan! Why did you take one of your own? There is a curse on Mankind We may as well be resigned To let the devil, the devil take the spirit of man As time passed in our dark and dusty prison The Parson wrestled endlessly with his doubts His outcries invited death for us both - and yet, I pitied him

[@rhythman69uk]

If you've come here because, like me, you are a fan of Thin Lizzy and Phil, and wondering what this track is, I will explain. Its a song taken from 'The War of the Worlds' by Jeff Wayne, cut in the early 80s. Phil is playing the part of a preacher in the narrative and its all set to eerie evocotive and haunting music. Its quite the masterpiece actually, and terrifying to children as reviews here kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6WwXoqtlMp6grc, will contest. Some sounds on this LP I've never heard anywhere else, from the synthesisers of the early 80's. That link takes you to it in its entirety. Best listened to with headphones in bed in the dark, then you can fully concentrate on it : ) Enjoy!
