Willy DeVille _ Heaven Stood Still

Live in Berlin

[@lupusinfabulaaa]

I'm here because my father had a collapse the other day and while we were waiting for the ambulance he told me he wanted us to play this song at his funeral. He survived and my love and gratitude for him are immeasurable. My Dad is one of the smartest and kindest people I know and he also has a damn good taste in music ❤️

[@EdwardDeCarlo-pu7pn]

❤🙏

[@phennigan]

Perfection. I could listen to this forever.

[@haltmusic]

Willy DeVille is America's loss even if America doesnt know it yet. The reason is simple: Like the very best rock and roll writers and performers in our history, hes one of the very few who got it right; he understood what made a three-minute song great, and why it mattered-because it mattered to him. He lived and died with the audience in his shows, and he gave them something to remember when they left the theater, because he meant every single word of every song as he performed it.

[@birgitsonntag2099]

Du hast so recht. Danke für deine Worte

[@marijnscholma9995]

Ik heb hem een hand gegeven, ❤😢

[@jramsey9690]

⁠@@birgitsonntag2099…Well, Thom Jurek wrote those words…Are you Thom?

[@JoeBerg38]

This man should be in the Rock N Roll Museum... He deserves it!

[@mouseguts02]

MarikHawk I couldn't agree more

[@markobegus]

Amen to that. What a talent!

[@SuddenlySimon]

This man is the rock n roll museum 😘

Heaven stood still when Willy got there and sang

[@alexanderzaenglein1952]

Perfekt ich liebe diesen Song der Mann war und ist immer noch gut

[@prenzel]

Ich hatte das Glueck, Willy mehrfach live im Konzert zu erleben. Er hatte eine unglaubliche Praesenz auf der Buehne. De Ville ist eine der besten Stimmen, die die Rockwelt je gesehen hat. Seine Songs waren wild, waren gefuehlvoll. Manchmal rockig, sehr melodisch. Allesamt waren sie authentisch. Danke - ruhe in Frieden. Peter

[@jbluezfan]

Great singer should get more recognition than he did unbelievable music he sang with feelings

[@gabrielestockhausen]

Dies ist einfach sein bester Song !! Mehr ist dazu nicht zu sagen. 👌👍👍💔

[@gabrielestockhausen]

Piano,Bass,zwei großartige Musiker,wundervolle Stimme.Mehr braucht es nicht .Trifft mitten ins Herz!!

[@doriseichler585]

Rudimentary. Mehr braucht es nicht, um ein großes, einzigartiges Gefühl auszudrücken

[@EllaElsner-iy7sf]

Aber ganz genau ! Es geht durch und durch !❤

[@wundertyte]

sang with his soul or even - he was able to let his soul sing to us...love and admiration to willy

[@Mrpantelou]

respect Mr WILLY d un cevenol de FRANCE mes poils se herissent sur ce pur chef d'oeuvre....

[@revnation_auto]

This just gets better & better over time. There’s a reason real musicians adore Willy.

[@biminitwst]

That song will make you sweat through your clothes, even in a cold room. Thanks, Mr. Beethoven, for the intro. Thanks, Mr. DeVille, for pouring your heart out once again.

[@robertgrijsen1006]

We saw him in 1984 live in Lochem the Netherlands with his band Mink deVille , a LEGEND. this was about a 1,5 year before he died.

[@petrad-rg2vt]

Ich hab ihn auch auf seinem Konzert gesehen, das war aber in den 90ern. Er ist erst am 6. August 2009 gestorben.

[@MARION991]

Dieses Lied mit geschlossenen Augen hören, das bedeutet: Gänsehaut pur. Der Mann ist das Beste was aus den USA an Blues, Soul und Rock-Sängern kommt. Bei seiner Musik nur zuhören, mehr braucht man wirklich nicht zu wissen. Schade, dass er nie die Berühmtheit erlangt hat, die er eigentlich bei seinem Können hätte erreichen müssen.

[@sonjabowe2506]

Hat mich jemals ein Lied mehr berührt als dieses hier ... die Gefühle die man in sich fühlt, lassen sich kaum mehr beschreiben. Ich liebe die Tränen, die ich hier gerade weine. Dieser Mann hat wahrlich mit sich meine Seele berührt.

[@MikhnevichNatalya]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Вилли!!в самое сердце! красота мелодии,голоса потрясает!трогает до глубины души!до слез!❤❤❤❤звезда на небе!❤

[@MARION991]

Ich hatte das Glück bei diesem Konzert in Berlin dabei zu sein. Nennt mir einen Sänger in der heutigen Zeit, der so etwas fertigbringt , in dieser kleinen Besetzung, Klavier und Bass, sein Publikum so in seinen Bann zu ziehen, wie Willy de Vill ? , Keiner konnte das je so wie er, das ist die wahre Größe von Willy de Ville. Ich wünsche ihm und uns, seinem Publikum, dass er so noch einmal auf der Bühne sein kann. Viel Glück und danke für all die gute Musik in den vergangenen 30 Jahren.

[@ingley5220]

Marion, sie schreiben mir aus der Seele🌹

[@EllaElsner-iy7sf]

​@@ingley5220 ich hatte heute das große Glück im Leipziger Kino einen Dokufilm über Willy zu sehen. Bin glücklich darüber, er wurde 2022 gedreht, und heute am 11.11.2024 konnte ich den Film sehen. LG 😊❤

[@filmfreak44]

The BEST song ever by ANYONE!

[@EllaElsner-iy7sf]

Unbeschreiblich schön !❤

[@ingley5220]

Ja, unbeschreiblich ergreifend und zum Nachdenken geschaffen. Seine Stimme ist Seele!

[@ThelmaSFla]

Gone too soon. Never to be forgotten. RIP Mr. DeVille. Your music still provides joy and always will.

[@penthouse10]

hearts are breaking aound the world. deepest sympathy to Nina and his family but Willy left a wonderful legacy of music that will live on forever...RIP sweet prince

[@johnlane35]

'One dream of my life' single most poignant line in the history of music.This guy taps into my soul.

[@isonlyme1957]

Saw him at least 3 times, alkways on first row, what an incredible performer and his out of this world voice, born 100 years too late!!

[@yugenheorte6828]

This is my first time ever hearing this Man's music, I found him on my own through curiosity. I'm writing this comment because I have a feeling my life has just changed for the better discovering him Edit: just finished listening to the song, my only regret is that I can never hear that song for the first time again

[@stephenfealy8392]

try out cadillac walk

[@JeanYvesDubost]

Monsieur Willy nous aura procuré tellement d'émotions... Merci à lui, s'il peut nous lire !!!

[@CNCisco3]

I had the great pleasure of Willys company a few times when he was in Los Angeles. I saw him play acoustic/solo in the basement of The Coconut Teasers and we hung out and he had told me of his recent experience singing with Ben E King. He was quite ecstatic. I met his wife when I visited him at the hotel. we sat at Jerrys Deli and talked about his new record he was recording Loup Garu I believe. I miss him on this planet and I hope his Gypsy Soul is Free- Bless you Willy- Cisco

[@starr522]

When I need to touch my soul, I turn to Willie

[@83concept]

Same for me

[@canadianroot]

When I need to touch my willie, I touch my willie.

[@betonhelm]

Zwei Konzerte in Bremen waren unvergesslich.Selten ,sehr selten. Ich habe den gleichen Bauchschuss wie er. Nach meiner Operation im August 2009 habe ich Tränen vergossen. Ich war versteinert und konnte kaum noch reagieren. Ich lebe und geniesse seine Musik mit meiner Frau.

[@juttawinkler7280]

The silence in the hall, you hear absolutely nothing, only Willy's voice reduced musical accompaniment, amazing how he could captivate and impress his audience, so he was already one of the greats of rock and roll. Willy, when I hear you the sky is always quiet, rest in peace!

[@sjaakpiest2915]

one of a kind. Willy is a legend.

[@MsNicola2009]

er hat mein bisheriges leben begleitet, ich liebe seine songs sehr, 2 konzerte in bremen.... nice journey Mr. De Ville

[@gabrielestockhausen]

Wieder etwas sehr Trauriges.Habe es erst heute gelesen und war sehr betroffen.Auch David Keyes lebt nicht mehr.Er ist 2019 verstorben.Zehn Jahre nach Willy.Genaues Datum weiß ich nicht.Nun können sie ihre wunderbare Musik im Himmel weiterspielen. Macht's gut ihr zwei.Wenigstens ist Eure Musik unsterblich.Totzdem wäre es schön,wenn Ihr noch hier wäret.

[@barbararausch6995]

Dieser Song trifft meine Seele so tief, Willi du fehlst so sehr🔥🌈❤️🦮🐶❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏

[@art461]

Willy, thank you for all your music, you're the best. And indeed, Heaven stood still. Rest in Peace.

[@rainbowrainbow-do9zg]

One of the best singers of the world ..singer with soul

[@annelisemorel7751]

I avoid listening to him too often: his death still breaks my heart. I've progressively realised how he was unique and great. Music misses him.

[@yugenheorte6828]

This is the first song of his I've heard, I was learning about his tribe the Peqouts and came across his name and that he was a musician, I'm really enjoying this song. I told you this, because I hope it helps ease your heart to know he's still being discovered and adored to this day as far away as the UK

[@lilfirecat]

​@@yugenheorte6828Greetings from Canada. Thankyou for this comment. This made my heart happy. 💜

[@barbararausch6995]

Dieser Song trifft meine Seele so tief, Willi du fehlst so sehr ❤️

[@willafilla]

Willy Deville...OMG! he left us great music. Thank you Willy! I just rediscovered him recently, looking up his old "Mink Deville" band. Rest In Peace.

[@sugardeb]

This song closest thing to a cure for my current heartache. Thanks for posting it. R.I.P. Willie. There was never anyone like you.

[@robertd8351]

totally agree with Jutta, if it means anything Willy should be in the R&R Hall of Fame.

[@nosnayack]

Beautiful. He was one of my favorite singers. What style. Smoking a cigarette and breaking your heart. God bless u Willy!

[@robertsancho2321]

I saw Mink DeVille live for the first time in a small club in Mt. Vernon NY. the second time was at the Bottom Line in the Village. And the last time was at the BB King's club in times square. All the performances were great! RIP Willy. Very under appreciated.

[@AndreHHX]

schade schade schade! Ich hätte Willy gerne noch öfter live gesehen. Wirklich Schade! Ich mag seine Musik, habe ihn nur 2 mal live gesehen und bin überzeugt das er ein guter ( echter ) Mensch war.

[@cissikarlek8237]

The last song on my husbands youtube before he passed away... 😪 He loved Willy SO much... Only 40 years old.. Will ALWAYS miss and love you baby 😭😭😭🖤🖤🖤

[@taborskygeorg]

I am also a Austrian Gypsi and i fell with you ....I Miss so much my Family that a lost at Holocaust in Austria ......

[@Joanllorcapeiro]

Te acompaño en el sentimiento...

[@peterweert1]

rip mij wife died 11 februari this year. this is her song

[@MrHowmer]

Happy Birthday Willy. 25 Aug. 1950. Bless you, and thank you for the beautiful music.

[@MrHowmer]

Mozart blushed.

[@MidNightsHunter]

Willy DeVille, a unique. Stunning me with your original heart of music that still sings in me. A child from Connecticut, a man the best of New York City, a mixture of sharp cultural edges. A spirit of New Orleans. Your journey of truth. RIP August 6, 2009, Heaven Stood Still.

[@ReneAppelman]

I did't know this song. He played it during aconcert in Paradiso in Amsterdam more than 10 years ago. I was stunned. What a great song and what great concerts he gave. R.I.P. Willy

[@Frankysheepo]

Willy, with all my heart I thank you for the fantastic music you created for us! Timeless music! Thanks a lot!

[@estellechollet5326]

J'ai 14 ans, et quand j'étais petite ma maman me bercée avec cette chanson, et le faite de la réécouter après 10 ans, elle m'a fais pleurer. J'adore cette chanson...

Wonderful voice, wonderful lyrics, wonderful music. Forever.

[@ChristophRauDarmstadt]

Was für ein GEILES Lied, was für eine Stimme, was für Musiker, und welch schöner Text. Das hätte ich gerne mal live von ihm gehört.

[@heikewernerdottir6904]

Ich hätte ihn auch zu gerne live erlebt.. 😓 Er ist viel zu früh gegangen... 🕊️

[@utakramer139]

Ich auch. 😥 Hab ihn erst zu spät wiederentdeckt. Bin ziemlich traurig deswegen. Wundervoller Mensch und Musiker.

[@juttawinkler7280]

Das Beste was ich je hörte - Gänsehaut und tiefe Gefühle - er war wunderbar!!!!!! R.I.P. Willy we see us!!!!

[@gbgeli]

Ich muss jedesmal dabei weinen

[@gbgeli]

Hörst du auch uriah heep? Oder ken hensley ex uriah heep? Die haben auch sehr schöne Songs.. Wie zb rain, why did you go, circle of handy, weep in silence.. Etc.. Und natürlich Lady in Black..

[@juttawinkler7280]

Ja, höre ich auch, jedoch mein absoluter Favorit ist und bleibt Willy Deville! Heute kann ich leider gar nichts hören - meine Kopfhörer geben leider keinen Ton von sich, bin ganz traurig, aber nur ganz, ganz wenig

[@AM-kn7yy]

besser kann man es nicht sagen,Jutta!

Dear Willy, I still miss you so much. To hear your voice is such a comfort to me, it keeps me going in difficult times. I love you .... and I always will do.

[@andretremblay5344]

Wow. Amazing. Gotta love it!

[@steffi1281]

Hey Kurtgoos! Mir geht's genauso...So ein großartiger Mensch und Musiker, viel zu früh aus dem Leben gerissen. Er hinterlässt eine große Lücke. Aber wir haben seine wundervolle Musik, die ihn uns niemals vergessen lässt!

[@ThelmaSFla]

Mesmerizing. You are never forgotten and are very much missed.

[@uffanonok]

...One dream of my life One night in eternity The wind whispered soft to me And heaven stood still... His music will live forever.

[@annemieketenhave4611]

Thank you so much Willy! You're music will last forever.... I love you

[@glendahammond904]

This song is so beautiful that it tugs at the heart.

[@misslemon17]

Thank you my special man for giving me something so special, so unique, so dear. And thank you Willy! My life has forever changed because of you and YOUR special soul. .

[@sideburns1974]

Willy, once I heard that sound.....and the passion, I became a fan forever. Thanks for the music. Be at peace my friend.

[@Mscarla1966]

As a tear fades away And the dawn drives a lovers eyes No more tears, they're all gone Just believe this will always be My heart in your hand Knows that all this belongs to me And like a child there I stand While your heart sings inside of me One dream of my life One night in eternity The wind whispers soft to me And heaven stood still One Side of the dawn Knows that all this belongs to me One celestial rhapsody And heaven stood still

[@maja5724]

Perhaps it could be, And the dawn dries a lovers eyes. (?)
