Ralph VAUGHAN WILLIAMS: Five Variants of Dives & Lazarus

[theblueTACO]

I just love this piece. Absolutely beautiful. It makes me almost wish we had strings, haha!!

[mrjoeington]

It was.... pushing people off their bikes.

[rafflesia123]

I'm exposing myself whilst looking at some free fanny! What's up with YOU Suzanne!?

[rafflesia123]

How do you freeze time?

[bournebeats]

man-moths?!

[SweetZombieJezus]

What are those things called in Gremlins?

[obsiosiris]

Pilky's makin music

[brakelane]

I think Ricky was on about 4:28

[brakelane]

turns out....little prostitute



[windstorm1000]

completely beautiful with an air of serenity---which is music we certainly need in this troubled world.

[shanw]

Apparently you're not allowed to lick a toad's back

Why didn't evolution make a giraffe good at carpentry so it could build a ladder?”

[ch1mpanzeethat]

As it got older... it got hairier. Turns out they'd been sold a chimp.

[ArianAugustus]

Deep and beautiful music at its best

[MrDaniel0521]

[solidvidic]

[johndoe673056]

i love the way i listened to ricky say this and thought "ooh i'll be the only one who actually searches this''....

[schladmingman]

Beautiful music. Too bad the Mormon Church stole it and turned it into a hymn for their cult.

[nicolepapa]

@schladmingman It isn't 'stolen'; it is used by permission from Oxford University Press. Ralph Vaughan Williams wrote the hymn version himself & it appears in the English Hymnal, though obviously not with the same words as the Mormon church. The composition we happen to be enjoying right now is also based on an existing folk song and no one would argue that it was 'stolen'. I don't think it matters what another group does with a piece of music, as long as we can listen to the version we prefer.

[Devoraak]

VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

Perhaps, the last English transcendent.

What a lovely man after the heart of Tolkien, Lewis, Belloc, Chesterton

In musical form, that IS.

[autumnspiders]

Dan Yell "Bed In Field"

[GREGMAX111]

Schindler's list in spaaaaaace

[Randomidus]

Ricky and Steve would be proud to know that at least some people are becoming more cultured as a result of Karl's musical ignorance. :)

[ebaysellerbarca317]

he cut his own head off?

[greatgig412]

Whether it's a potato or a nut, it's a foodage.

[jovad1]

true masterpiece! Bravo

[worldorg]

does anyone know which orchestra played this and the solo?

[t0kt0k]

This song makes me want to eat a knob at night

[bensimps123]

just came on to listen to vaugh and find all these pilky quotes haha

[ThePandaDiscoParty]

he got hot, he got so hot his lips fell off.

[saintprawn]

@peterlinie3 ricky gervais mentioned this on one of his guides to so loads of these quotes are from that

[pataykangbataka1]

"If your not happy looking a knob in the face there is something wrong with you"

[whitepanther84]

This makes me want to make ENGLAND better. I'm going to hunt a foxhunter, throw a custard pie at a racist, and another at a rapist. As Karl said, do yer bit...

[rtwoodlands]

Squirm - There's a Q in that

[Kennychan222]

I've GOt Ball of STEEL

[linimo87]

this is one of the most beautiful compositions ever

[lion354]

I'd give it PEACOCK FEATHERS!

[technoshitor]

thumbs up if you have had bukakie this weekend

[whitepanther84]

@technoshitor had a quiet weekend i'm afraid so no thumbs up, but your comment made me laugh

[zalmanusa]

Is he an artist or a fish-monger?

[DanSideBurns]

I'm thumbing up way to many Pilkington related comments

[RaeleenandScott]

Really nice video. Thanks for posting!!! THUMBS UP!

[Kilchattan7]

never heard this before it is just so so beautiful  oh how my heart soars to this

superbus maximus.

[Merlinslady]

@Kilchattan7 I agree it's beautiful - seems to fit perfectly with the North Dorset countryside where I live

[peterlinie3]

What have all the retarded comments on here got to do with this wonderful piece of music?

[RaeleenandScott]

@peterlinie3 I know, right!

[Merlinslady]

@peterlinie3 exactly - best to keep voting them downwards ;-)

[MrShadyJeff]

It would be spiteful, to put jellyfish, in a trifle.

[th3magicnumber]

I just don't think you can beat a decent vocal on top of that.

[november1ish]

@th3magicnumber

what audiobook is that quote from?

and also do you know which audiobook has the clive warren movie idea on it?

[TacticalHub]

@november1ish Guide to the arts. After Ricky gervais states that his favorite piece of music is "Five variants of dives & lazarus" karl replies "I just don't think you can beat a good vocal on top of that"...lol

[hayden52]

@th3magicnumber Best youtube comment EVER POSTED, PERIOD.

[RewindMJ]

I could eat a knob at night.

[Merlinslady]

This is SO beautiful - seems to just sum up Thomas Hardy's Dorset where I live :-) Bliss....

[RaeleenandScott]

@Merlinslady nice comment, I think it's an AWESOME video.

[TSMDesigns]

"Now back then, I wasn't as wise as I am now."

"AHAHAHAHAH! What was he, some snot in a jar!!????"

"May I apologise to any snot in a jar that may be listening."

[TheJwaskca]

"I don't know if he was combin' his hair or whatever, but... it come off."

"What did?!"?

"His skull."

[tsfnizzle]

It was pushin people off their bikes.

[Safferoonicle]

There's a Q in that!

[andywatson932]

"Squirm."

[Pilky01Alright]

anyone who hasn't heard of karl pilkington must think everyone is mental on here.

[TSMDesigns]

@Pilky01Alright

Nice name!

How many candles ya burnin'?

[noquarter610]

Read about a fella whose skull fell out

[williamhowie]

Are you in charge of your brain? or is your brain in charge of you?

[davylove21]

[TSMDesigns]

@RoundaboutRalph

If you don't have eyes, you shouldn't have wings.

[autumnspiders]

@RoundaboutRalph the head was in great condition; it just wasn't attached to his body.

[looseheadtom]

ricky says there's a chord in this that makes him well-up. which part is it? does anyone know?

[12345l6789]

@looseheadtom i second this. 

[flemishguy]

@looseheadtom probably the chord progression in the beginning

[Davehuddy123]

Absolutely beautiful....and with a head like a fucking orange :)

[killbot4178]

thumbs up if i have a huge wiener

[nitad001]

I just don't think you can beat a decent vocal on top of that.

[Kuwa6ara]

@nitad001 haha, I fucking love you.

[StrongBadSE]

They used to say "an apple a day keeps the doctor away", now they're saying "eat five fruits".

[johnlockesocks]

Oooooh Chimpanzee that... yerr f.f.f.ffffff...

[cutes22]

[danshaggy292]

The bid lin...

[ojmarsh]

Where?......what?!

[dajord]

It's a bit weird Steve!

[nspires1]

Ricky Gervais sent me here too! .....(but I've hung around Vaughn Williams before). I go where Ricky recommends.....cuz that's how I roll.

[lbrodie666]

What were the things in Gremlins called?

[kni83]

If you haven't got eyes, you shouldn't have wings.

[ericfromminneapolis]

I thought I wasn't going to like Cemetery Junction, but it actually turned out quite enjoyable. A lot better than the US movies that Gervais was in. Don't get me wrong, I love the Office, Extras, Idiot and the podcasts... I just think his US movies stunk. I'd prefer to see more movies like Cemetery Junction.

[HPhenomenal]

it looked like a ripped tennis ball..

[7ali7]

Pope's dead...

[RichPlaystation]

If people actually posted Karl 'moments' that had something to do with the video, this might not end up looking like a Rainman style list of random quotes.

[QuarantinedMarshland]

He was a man, woma- well...

[kam81]

for god's sake, knob ache

[ihearthuckabees246]

man-moth?

[system500]

@system500

[georgest1990]

Did i tell you about the immune system?

[cameronTfool]

I could really do with a yellow biscuit!

What the fuck's a yellow biscuit? Banana baldies?

[TheRandyChimp]

Cat food....may stink.....but if you don't put up with the smell, the little kitten will die!

HEAD LIKE A FFFFFFUCKING ORANGE! CUNT!

[daveqc1986]

Turns out... Little Monkey fella

[MSE091282]

[ShowMeYourSkillo]

Ricky Gervais.

[jamieailes]

Egg?

[hasprey]

He said "ohhhhhh just get your knickers off!"

Cue howls of laughter from Gervais

[jamesthefool]

Who's here because of Gervais, second time round?

[gmcaveety93]

Thats a bit harsh.........awright

[th3magicnumber]

so singing trumps whistling?

[MrMortenMH]

It’s just hassle of having friends and family an’ that...

[TheQuicheMandrill]

I've always wanted to kick a duck up the arse.

[bensimps123]

YOU NEVER SEE AN OLD MAN EATING A TWIX !!?

[GeorgesThoughts]

@bensimps123 ahahaahahahahaahaaaa 

[KizerKevin]

There's a Q in that

[Mankind081]

And then we'll just have a game of crib.

[stellen11]

this is what gervais plays when letterman and conan are fisting him before their shows.

[billybandit]

@stellen11 If you hate Ricky Gervais so much, why do you follow him so closely? Do you like getting yourself upset? Or are you in fact just a massive bellend with a terrible sense of humour.

[reelclerk]

Man Moths?

[splinky]

One of the finest pieces of music, classical or not, to ever be performed.

[drex22]

You at you Ricky, making me more cultured and shit.. BROFIST!!

[GeoMcEvan]

A dog has got human eyes

[shahza13]

thumbs up if ricky gervais sent you here

[jon81d]

@shahza13 yep got me too

[XiaoPow]

@shahza13

You don't need to thumbs up left and right because somebody sent you here :P

[bigkmm89]

Ricky's taste in music never fails me.

[mrfundah]

ENGLAND!

[xILambyIx]

Beethoven's fiiiifth, Beethoven's fiiiiifth.

[trentmuch1]

Ralph Vaughan-Williams is always a safe bet for good music - Whatever your overwhelming tastes! :P

[RedScarfLuxio]

haha they played this on classis fm and i was like "now I love classical Music!" ^^ Such pretty music!

[undisputedgreatest]

This is fantastic.

But, just imagine how much better it would be if it were whistled? Or had words over it?

[MachineGun28]

whilstle whistle whistle whistle SQUIRM whistle whistle whistle whistle

[chad4500]

This is for you, Lina, for all the beauty, kindness, warmth and love you bring into my life. Please be my friend always.

Your devoted little skylark,

[ThePandaDiscoParty]

sat and listened to this and thought only of the Japanese people, how could you not shed a few tears.

[7teenf]

Quintessentially English. Pure bliss. pastorally perfect.

[a7xlostie]

I'm playing this is my high school chamber orchestra!

[davidson055]

@a7xlostie same here

[Hyperion004]

I was still usin' me eyes even though I 'ad 'em shut.

[HPhenomenal]

"alright..."

[AnotherOneNow]

Kingsfold has been my favourite tune since I was a lad and heard my father playing it on the organ.

[Vagabond1951]

There just isn't any more British piece of music than this. Unless it's "The Lark Ascending", maybe. Vaughan Williams had a marvelous ability to evoke the English countryside, and it's never more evident than hear. Lovely piece, lovely performance. Thanks for posting it.

[fernandez3801]

The continual revolution of pictures and neon colors conflict with the majesty of sound pouring forth from such fingers filled with passion. The music is divine, yet the visual presentation holds an ill-favored effect of no pleasure. Some of the pictures are quite good. Slowing their debut would allow listeners to enrapture the beauty of such musical genius.

[Starcastle2009]

@fernandez3801 I totally agree. Not every musical composition lends itself to music video.
