This is such a wonderful song Matt and Sophie, a real reminder of days gone by for me, and I have to say that the slower pace than the original really makes it stand out. Beautifully realised my friends, really outstanding. I hope you both had a lovely time over the festive break, and that 2022 is very very nice to both of you.

Hey Ian - thank you much bud, that's so kind of you. Would you have been in your early teens when this came out? Exactly the right age for this song to sink it's hooks into you... ;) The year is going well so far - we did get a turn on the covid machine early on, but you can hardly blame the year for that. However, you certainly can blame Mancunian mouth-breathing wedding guests... so that got us through the worst of it. Well, that and the booster ;)
@IanLuckett2 жыл бұрын
@@TheDistanceDuo LOL, I thank you! I was in my early twenties when this first came out!! It did sink its hooks in, one of the most glorious, revelation-like, vocal hook-lines ever in my opinion. My Mrs. would totally agree with you about the Mancunian issue - she's from Liverpool LOL! (You know what "they" say though: "You live and learn - or you don't live long!")

Every time I went to 'home' tonight, KZbin kept offering me this video.That's maybe a dozens times. I don't know why; I don't know the band, I don't listen to The Waterboys or acoustic covers of anything on here. I mainly watch politics or history videos. Eventually, I clicked on it because I thought it must keep popping up for a reason. I was right. The reason was because it's superb. As a bit of a guitar picker myself, I can see your playing isn't especially complex and I'm so glad. Flashy pickers don't impress me much, doing what's right for the song does. And you did exactly what was needed to allow the beauty of your voices to carry the tune. When I saw the uke I thought, "Oh no, here we go, another ukulele destruction of a good song". But no, it fitted perfectly. Thankyou both for your lovely music and for reminding me about a great, great song.
@TheDistanceDuo2 жыл бұрын
Hi Trevor, how strange that KZbin would just bombard you with this video over and over... it's something we would never do ourselves and we're frankly amazed that you didn't click the 'stop showing me this' button 🤣 maybe there's a lesson to be learned about self promotion there... We're absolutely over the moon to hear that you enjoyed the video once it'd beaten you into submission, and we can't tell you how much this comment means to us. It's great to hear that our arrangement choices hit the spot, and we can't thank you enough for giving us your time. Thanks so much for making our day, and all the best for 2022 :) - Mat & Sophie xx
