[@Danielo78100]

This is really a beautiful track, one of their finest ! This band is just incredible !

[@bertrandpourcheron1806]

Tu l'as dit, mon neveu :-)

[@Codshead]

WOW as my old mate Sir Bob Harris would have said HHMMM excellent stuff 😮

[@pratyushdhoundiyal8837]

It boggles my mind why this is not more famous.

[@MrHistorian123]

One of the greatest pieces of music ever recorded.

[@Endrit719]

agree, commenting to remind you to listen this master piece

[@Endrit719]

are you alive

[@Endrit719]

is u alive

[@Endrit719]

I just can't stop listening to this song. It's so simple yet so beautiful.

[@eleanorrigby6703]

It's obvious how they were influenced by Pink Floyd. They carry the legacy of prog rock very successfully and with their own unique style. Fascinating.

[@kevinmcfarlane2752]

This is probably their most overtly Pink Floyd-like song. But Floyd is one of many influences in their music in general.

[@pablogarcia1234]

Good feelings listening this song. For me, takes Wellcome to the machine as a basis to make a fresh proyection in a new song.

[@uweb1147]

90 thumbs up in 10 years - that is 9 per year. What a pity for such a good song.

[@mohamedkassim5492]

Enfin de la musique faite avec d'authentiques bons vieux instruments "en chair et en os 😜" ; et en plus les Mostly Automn élaborent une musique qui élèvent les esprits, et non pas rassembler les foules... là est toute la différence ! 🙏🏻

[@Copesp_06]

Weightlessly you leave the ground Hanging gently in the breeze, You lift your head to face the stars And catch the wind above the trees, You know you're safe, you know you're there The night sky rushing through your hair The shadow cast across the fields By silver moon that lights the night Over the mountains over the hills, The changing horizons, you drift through the valleys Reaching for distance, floating alone, Like an eagle at midnight, under the stars. Through frozen eyes you see the hills Go rolling by, your spirit fills with wonder And the freedom to roam the winter sky, You drift into the fragrance of the forest Swaying gently down below. The warm glow of a village sleeping silently, You rise to meet the bleakness of the mountain That roll into the distance, A ghost upon the north wind bound for nowhere, To meet the rising sun.

One of their best ever. A masterpiece of rock, just like all of their stuff, particularly ‘Mother Nature’. KevtheWitch

BRAVO!!!

[@flomberb]

Super solo!

[@130_lml]

Te ame más que a ninguna persona, eras mi mundo, todo esto era para ti, todo lo que tenía planeado contigo, los sueños, los viajes, nuestras alegrias y tristezas, nuestros fracasos y descepciones las íbamos a sobrellevar juntos... pero se acabo, solo tengo la esperanza de que algún día llegues acá y me reconozcas.... P.

[@AntonioLopezArredondo]

Magical song

[@Endrit719]

man that instrumentals makes this the only song that I listen to a song with so long instrumental part

[@jailbr3ak_acdc]

Nightwish fan anyone?

[@micromused]

Amazing!!!!!!!

A parte que passa das árvores com as constelação no telão é uma cena do filme o último dos moicanos

[@walterhulshof6344]

Love the studio vetsion .....bether sound engineering here

[@jade17l]

I love this song but what is the instrument the guy is playing on his lap when doing the solo ?

[@schmidt-v9n]

Looks like bagpipes

[@christopherlloyd8117]

@@schmidt-v9nYes. Uilleann pipes, sometimes called Irish bagpipes.

[@dorjon6121]

@@christopherlloyd8117 Masterful rock performance on those same pipes by him, on Nightwish’s ‘Last of the Wilds’, live at Wacken 2013, I think. Here on YT 👍

[@relaxandchill5309]

Go fiona!

[@Danthehorse]

Seems a lot of Heather's Mostly Autumn live vids are gone from YT :(

[@zibidingenyengen]

who is that 1 dislike ? Come to Bağcılar :@

[@foxtrotnow]

While I appreciate the upload, this does no justice to the original studio recording from "For All We Shared". Just my humble opinion.

[@Endrit719]

I disagree, I think it was very good actually

[@kevinmcfarlane2752]

I think it does, but I always view live as its own thing anyway.

[@BGoldtone]

Troy Donockley left Iona for this, Pink Floyd rip-off? Not very impressive...

[@iannaylor782]

Troy did not leave Iona for Mostly Autumn ,he has been a friend of Bryans for years ,and guested on most CD s also why not check out the 13 studio albums you never know you may find something you like.

[@Danthehorse]

Pink Floyd rip off? What no one is allowed to do guitar based prog rock? Maybe tell the jazz artists to stop copying, and all the classical artists... wow...

[@MrHistorian123]

This is nothing remotely like anything Floyd ever did. Female vocals? Pipes? Whistles? Strings? And Troy Donockley did not leave Iona for Mostly Autumn: he's been a friend of the band and has guested for them many times. He was at their last Christmas gig at the Lion Inn, Blakey Ridge in 2019. I was there. When you actually know something about music, come back and discuss with those of us who do.

[@laurentos1967]

Marvelous song...

[@sockington1]

berk - do some research
