[@johanvanslooten6585]

Even after ten years it's still a work of art. Just love Mike and Steve.

[@michaelshelley9583]

I used to bring my son into the garavougue in sligo about 15 years ago or so on sunday afternoons and steve and various other musicians were there playing ,it was brilliant

[@mikescriber1777]

I am awestruck by listening to just two instruments, no electronics. So powerful

[@IvanLendl87]

The power and magic of real music right here. Just phenomenal.

SOULJAHZ

[@danielgodwin9313]

This lights a fire in my heart that burns brighter than the sun in July

[@robinriley9798]

If I ever got 3 wishes it would be 1-to play half as good as a Steve Wickham 2- to sit down and play a session with him 3- watch Mike and Steve play together in a small room like this! ❤️

[@markwallacemaguire1598]

Only Mike and Steve could channel words of Cicero and Homer in such a gorgeous salute to Yeats. We are blessed. #mikescottismyhomeboy

[@gerarddevanny2720]

Ok, I'm an old r&r'lr. 60 years old in July. And this, kicks azz on so many levels, you can't put it into words . But you damned sure can feel it. I honestly wonder if this song can be done any better. For me? I don't think so.

[@waldenni123]

you should hear Kenny Craddock's version, very different, and as it was recorded 10 years earlier than this, I would consider this a cover version........a good cover, but still it was Kenny's idea; RIP Kenny

[@garthmorrisette]

Steve the fiddle man is amazing. Saw them in Saint Paul last year.

[@richardw.b.feigen8700]

Mike Scott's and Steve Wickham's muscial souls are most beautifully and symbiotically entwined. Their whole is far greater than the sum of its two brilliant, inimitable musical parts, far greater indeed!

[@adampepper5495]

This is just absolutely brilliant!!!!!! Mike and Steve.., god bless you!!

[@danielgodwin9313]

That fiddle puts fire in my heart

[@dilbyjones]

Live the fiddle is a great choice compared to the guitar.

[@fuchiabut54]

luv theses guys . Fortunately I saw them in Lisbon before the COVID

[@kikivolauvent1]

I was pointed to this from a ‚knowing‘ friend - I‘m deeply impressed. I used to play the violin but this is another lovel of fiddle handling! and great guitar play too…

[@BarryHawk]

Beyond invigorating, absolutely thrilling.

[@nicojam7191]

Absolutely love the magic of these guys, they never lose sight of it ❤❤

[@KingCrimson82]

this is like the master of arts in keeping the intensitiy of the vocals on top throughout a song. not easy.

[@martinmcglone8456]

seen waterboys in derry along time ago, real music, real vocals, real class

[@Strangewerks]

I love this song!

[@videobuddahedits]

[@richardw.b.feigen8700]

If the devil somehow lost his way to Mr. Wickham's house, Steve would pick up his fiddle and the devil would turn tail and run like hell straight back to whence he came.

[@jbcrazy]

Great place to make a music video. An old, earthy basement. Honest and able to touch Mr. Everyman.

[@gibbo1968]

still a wow now we had some great muso's back in the 80's

[@samloutalbotmusic]

Both amazing!

[@aidenfermanagh6207]

Great.

[@joannabowen635]

Mike and Steve alone are a powerhouse duo here...don't need a lot of added strings, synth, or a greek chorus backing! Fisherman's Blues and the Yeats tribute, works the best, IMHO. 'Nearest Thing to Hip' borders on classic perfection...glad to hear Waterboys keeping it real.

[@stargazer6753]

+ Relix. We have to go back to Homer and Cicero and Plato in “ The the Mad as the Mist and Snow”. I just love it.

[@interouter_space]

Bolt and bar the shutter for the foul winds blow Our minds are at their best this night and I seem to know That everything outside us is mad as the mist and snow That everything outside us is mad as the mist and snow. Horace there by Homer stands, Plato stands below And here is Tully's open page, how many years ago Were you and I, lads, mad as the mist and snow? Were you and I, lads, mad as the mist and snow? You ask what makes me sigh, what makes me shudder so I shudder and I sigh to think that even Cicero And many minded Homer were mad as the mist and snow That Cicero and Homer were mad as the mist and snow That Cicero and Homer were mad as the mist and snow.

[@damiandeehan4463]

Thanks Dan. Makes me think of you.

[@terrytibbs5678]

I can really relate to this song. I used to stay in an asylum until I escaped.

[@jeanniecampbell1374]

Please Mike and Steve turn my poetry into something Musical ...I need the depth you would be willing to take it .

[@manatworkhoyeahlovegodmade6373]

Hello old faces

[@KenDodd1317]
