God. I have played music all my life. Looking for the grail. Looking for that true essence. That ultimate beauty. This is probably as close as it gets. I am so grateful for hearing this. So grateful. Thank you Aqualung. Thank you Paul.
This song so perfectly illustrates that true love isn't always forever... You may be perfect together at a time, for a season, but things change, people change, and even though it may be the end...there is light on the other side of the window.
great blue nile vid just been added "flags and fences" . its a 30 min documentary featuring lots of early songs and interviews..well worth checking out .
I was looking for Buchanan's vids and songs and here's what I find : one of the greatest song I've heard, and I discover Aqualung ! Thank you, and merry Xmas :)
Wow this is absolutely brilliant...so much heart and feeling..it's sumptuos listening..I'm a real dyed in the wool Niles fan. so this really appeals to me big time.
@Bruchag Switzerland... I was there only for a brief moment, yet for some reason the memories of these precious days have stayed with me, intensely peaceful. I always look back at that time with some melancholy and it seems to echo what I feel when I listen to this wonderful song.
@Kenentigern7 As Kentigern I found this song and Pauls voice just blasted it into another space. In the finding I had recently returned from my cousins funeral.. Paul and Andy ready the most memorable eulogies I've ever said from men to a man.
A powerful song driven by truth.... numpties go to sleep.
I've recently got Craig Armstrongs album The space between and loved Paul Buchanan's voice on the track called "Lets go out tonight". I had no idea he had did a song with Aqualung. I have Aqualung's first album and loved that as well. Awesome to hear this song with them both. This made my day! Thanks!
After reading your comment, I went to the store and bought Craig Armstrongs' album The space between and loved the track "Lets go out tonight" as well. Thanks for that!
The song 'Let's go out tonight' was orignially released by The Blue Nile (whose lead singer is Paul Buchanan) on a fantastic album called Hats (1989) so you will probably love this album too
His part starts at 3:40. Their voices are somewhat similar, but if you know Blue Nile at all, Paul Buchanan's voice is unmistakeable. He sounds great here, as ever.
at 36,is that somewhere bonnie?the video`s really gelungen!however sometimes the cut is a little too quick.But anyways what aboot Paul Buchanan?He´s pure Paolio Conte man,wonderful.Thank you
Well, the picture at 0:36 was taken in Switzerland near the city of Gruyère. If you've got some free time, you definitely should visit, especially during the summer.
If you like this type of music, I'd recommend an irish band called the Prayer Boat and the vocalist Emmett Tinley. The Prayer Boat are no longer but Emmett released a beautiful record a couple of years ago called Attic Faith.
I just listened to some songs by the Prayer Boat and you are right: great songs!! I particularly liked Polichinelle. If you've got other suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them!
When I posted my first comment about Paul Buchanan I can't believe that I forgot to comment on how brilliant this video is. Artistic, simple, and it amplifies the power of the song many times over. Thank you for all of us.
I have considered it a priviledge to make a simple video with this beautiful song. My only wish was that the video wouldn't dishonor the song. Your comment is therefore deeply appreciated.
I would just like to take this opportunity to thank every single person who has watched this video. Also, I'm hoping to discover some new artists and music, so I'm open to any suggestions.
The second half of this song is sung by the fabulous Paul Buchanan of The Blue Nile. Check out any Blue Nile vid to hear more songs of heartbreaking, poignant beauty.

I have to be honest, the best part of the song is the first half, the second part where the song changes, eh, I could do without.
