Hazel O' Connor "Will you"

[4rugratsful]

The scale on 4.30 is sick" its a solo thats classed as a rapture of music that stands out alongside baker street.

[caprinana]

love this song and can't stop listening to it ....still after long long time....and the sax sounds like it comes fm heaven..........love u Hazel

[paulvergeer3]

Prachtige ballad, de mooiste scheurende sax-solo aller tijden.

Dit nummer verdient een re-release.

[purplepelican69]

This song always reminds me how mournful and soulful the sax is - it evokes that feeling of melancholy you get when you realise that the mugs have voted in another Labour "government" to destroy the economy and keep the seriously bone idle in the lap of luxury. I think the sax breaks on this song represent the instrument at its very finest although the work on Baker Street and Passion Killer (One the Juggler) come pretty close.

[fantazum2011]

I bought this song when it was first released and it's the song I want in my head when I finally take my leave and say goodnight.

[margenko]

great song but in fairness she is not the best vocalist tto do the song justice give it ti adele or k d lang or even bjork to do her own spin on it so im sorry hazel the song is bigger than u

[kennyaskew7]

@margenko you no nowt

[dharvarde]

@margenko Are u some sort of fuckin retard? When were you born. This is music at its best, TRICKY DICKY. JERSEY

[eamonreillydotcom]

[TheEmilylander]

Hazel.... no ads please!

[clazza01]

which movie was this made for?

[goonchistaw]

@clazza01 breaking glass ..

[tacfoley]

IMO, prolly the best-ever sax solo.

tac

[cherrybombsingsong]

one of the best songs about relationship angst...if you like great sax check out Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street too...

[condrix]

@cherrybombsingsong

[condrix]

@cherrybombsingsong

sotty this crap doesn't let to insert it's own link...

so for sax also check Jan Garbarek In Praise of Dream :)

[cherrybombsingsong]

@condrix Cool! I just did - thanks for the recommendation :) *Note to self - add sax to my next song!*

[theirishrat]

saw hazel in manchester last week. brilliant. claire on the sax doing the solo to this song was absolutely awesome. thanks for a great performance ladies and the chance to remember my youth

[CocaColaKinz]

loveee this :D

[cadbbadpenny]

I'ts getting kind of late now, 16yrs is a long, long, long time to wait. Think your coffee is stone cold by now.

[xjrman1]

Is this the all time greatest sax solo???

[51Slasher]

@xjrman1

Yes, in my opinion. Get the goosebumbs going every time.

Malcolm

[oshadyone1]

@xjrman1 Yes, without a shadow of a doubt, matchless !

[norobotica]

Brilliant song. Hazel is on tour as we speak and just as great as ever! Great vid, thanks for sharing

[shallenstar]

awsome sax



[PGPyramid1]

19 dislikes? What's not to like? I play this over and over just for the sax solo.

[scrinson007]

this tune was the theme tune for the bbc drama set in the early 80s, at mumbles,swansea.about the life around the mumbles lifeboat.it was called.....................ENN­ALS POINT.

[riley01278]

He stroked my face with the back of his hand, smiled, such a soft smile, I moved closer. Clearing his throat he spoke in tones so soft so low yet a tone that told me, told me exactly what he needed to say.......he told me his secret just before dawn and then, then was gone. So I sip my coffee not knowing quite what to do.....goodnight.(politely)

[pissedupgeoff]

I know she is not the best looking. I seen her last year and still looks exactly, and sounds the same. I only live a few miles from her. she has a wonderful personality.

I think she still lives in Coventry. Beautiful woman

[Enerjee]

@pissedupgeoff - I think she left Coventry a long time ago. She now splits her time living in Ireland and France.

[hondaboy1300]

this track never seems to age>>>> hazel o'connor. an icon of her time and from my neckof the woods too!!! : takes me back to a happier time

[Enerjee]

@hondaboy1300 - 1980 and also out of Coventry the 2Tone label sound.

[marshall3able]

a1 class ,class 1,.much 2much x

[thegeezerdan]

This is a very mysterious song.

[sunrideruk1]

This has to be one of the all time classics in my opinion. . The sax is so haunting.

[bobtbtownsend]

@sunrideruk1 I'm with you completely!



[mac8323]

Simply Timeless ;))

[tacfoley]

Wondrous stuff.

tac

[bagariddum]

Or will you just politely say goodnight?

maybe:

Will you adjust the lightning, or say: "goodnight" ?

thoughts anyone?

[andymouse123]

@bagariddum hahahaha ya ! iget what ya mean hehehehhehe!!!!!!!

[pigyob]

Fuckin' 'ell the memories give me goosebumps

[theFirstEostare]

Incredibly beautiful - the photography here as well as the song. Memories of seeing the film, possibly the most romantic scenes ever. What girl wouldn't have wanted that scene with Phil Daniels in those days? Pity he ended up on Eastenders. He was seriously hot!

[Sassylassie54]

As Hazel says makes her quiver wow

[Sassylassie54]

Such a fab song

[popov2005]

This is the ultimate romantic song of all times. And the sax solo is out of this world. After so many years it still sound as wonderful as the first time I heard it.

[klemzorz]

such an amazing song...makes me quiver and shiver with all the memories flashing by!

[mac8323]

fantasic !!! when that sax solo ends you just wish that it starts up again, Awesome !!!

[norobotica]

I totally agree. Lovely song and lyrics, great singer, great musicians and Hazel is still going strong with U.K tours

[seafox61]

The best sax solo of all time...because it means more to more people than Baker Street....a wonderful song from a wonderful era...thank you Hazel and Wesley...and the band.....

[MrDeano3330]

And here i am,back again getting my fix of this absolutely fantastic song!! All i have to do is listen and i am once again sorted out for a while.

[xanadu1812]

same sax player



[AngelOfHarem]

I am trying to learn the sax solo from this song...I love it so much! I need to try and find the sheet music for it....any ideas where I can find it??

[mikey0867]

@AngelOfHarem , Hi I have the sheet music for this amazing song on a PDF file if you are interested.

[mac8323]

obviously we have 17 aliens on this planet ;))

[MrBoxerdog5]

Great song

[mac8323]

Awesome song, The Sax just blows me away, superb !!!

[sidt150]

Just brilliant

[popecafe]

represents teenage angst perfectly.

[tamaska6]

I love this song so much. All the songs from Breaking Glass are brilliant.... she wrote them all.... the bl**dy genius.

[2lipsAmsterdam]

how sexy is this song. one of the best solo sax perfomances I have ever heard.

[robertlonzo]

i can't think of anything that could make this song any more beautiful. i can almost hear rain falling in the background

[GavinS1965]

Lovely!

[RXJohnPaul]

Sheer Masterpiece

RXJohnPaul

[patrick74750]

[loopylozzehloo]

Just beautiful and sensual..

[Fodyfan08]

That sax solo....pure class!

[MrDeano3330]

I come back and listen to this now and again,what a song! Absolutely fantastic lyrics, just sit and listen. Take off your eyes,bare your sole,what more needs to be said!!!

[marshall3able]

elaine will you alan d green no b meaney jus b madman

[oshadyone]

Incomparable to anything else, really does stand alone as music at it`s best in every way.

[mandymc67]

Hazel O'Connor is appearing in the highlight venue 1st June 2011, if you are interested call the venue on 0118 959 5395.

[TheMagnum26]

I think florence and the machine would do a fabulous cover of this song.

[trailerfitter2]

wow forgot about her powerful songs until stumbling across them just now..

[100dfave]

all time great

[paulkearnsmusic]

Brings back such wonderful memories for me. That sax solo is simply the best ever!!

[lougu95]

ik luistert dit liedje elke dag :D

[dundee520]

from Australian fan

[sizey137]

love this song one of my all time faves love you hazel

from australia

[melt1969]

thumbs up! 

[MoonlightDoom]

This song is.. Well everything. Royalties or not Hazel sing

[19davo66]

I saw Hazel in Manchester a few years ago, She gets no royalties from this song, and refuses to sing it, if you see her live, Then she does. She did an irish repetoire and it was excellent, but the crowd, and I must admit - repquested this tune., I joined in the 'hurrah', Reminds me of my teen years and discovering my sexuality and the buzz of not knowin what was to happen next..

[klokkesalg]

I love this song:))

[hugehelmet]

I was around when this was released, and saw the film countless times. I now have it on dvd, and to this day have never heard a piece of instrumental music that fits so well as the sax solo does.

[Gravametric]

doesn't matter what i say here, it couldn't do justice to this song.....sheer class

[BlachAndWhite16]

@vulpecula999 Yes, but he had an accident with a circular saw, so he no longer is playing the sax, such a shame. =(

[MrDeano3330]

Just listen, Enough said!

[malibumut]

How could anyone say goodnight, after hearing this...

[clivegb1]

I'm sure the BBC used the sax part as the theme for "Ennals Point", a short-lived serial about a fictitious Welsh RNLI Lifeboat Station (actually The Mumbles). The Lifeboat was named "RNLB Sir Samuel Grail". Obviously someone at the BBC had great taste! Now, where did I put that anorak??

[PNEKarl]

@clivegb1 Yes you are correct Clive. I still have the very same theme tune from Ennal's Point on 7" vinyl. I'll have to get around to looking for it some day. A wonderful piece from muchly missed Wesley's work.

[mallekram]

This was my introduction to the sax. fantastic song..

[geoffrey231]

fantastic memorries of being in love as a teenager brilliant

[yo519ge]

einfach spitze!

[g7usl]

Timeless music. The modern stuff, doen't even come close. Thank you for sharing.

[gogo492]

listening to this song when going to school early in the morning 25 years ago. Great memories

[stuey49]

i am a sax player wish i could play like that

[BarbedHook]

@stuey49 Well you’re not a saxophone player

[Maxshard]

This is sucha greast song. Often missed because of the great saziophone solo/lead is the base line in this which is also terrific.  Definitely one of the best songs ever.

[MrMini1969]

i cant understand the dislikes this is just amazing

[hardtoesxplain]

whilst everyone raves about the baker street sax solo i think this is every bit its equal but it hardly ever gets played on the radio..why?

[ANDDROID]

@hardtoesxplain i play it on my radioshow

[BledZeppelin]

That Bob Holness gets everywhere...

[Madmazza999]

Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Strrn4]

4 ש"ח

[davidroze1]

חייב לערן שטיינברג 3 ש"ח

[peaceman1234567]

Its a girls song really but i quite like it due to the sax playing mainly.

[MsClaire1961]

One of the best sax pieces ...... ever

[hopelesschick1]

Totally amazing .. I just want to play it forever .. the sax is absolutely amazing .. wow!!!

[hopelesschick1]

Just totally amazing! I keep playing it over and over and over again .... the sax player is totally amazing .. wow!

[jjohn211]

love how that sax solo is half the song. beautiful.

[dogsbreath101]

Pure JOY..

[pmc40]

great song and nice pics uploader

[TheBlueoverthemoon]

This is one of those rare pieces that just transports you into dreamland, That sax of Wes Magoogan is unique !!

[shallenstar]

@TheBlueoverthemoon awsome sax im not a sax player

[clivegb1]

How can anyone not like this? As near to perfect as you can get. Memories of lost opportunities come flooding back from all those years ago. And that haunting sax - wow!

[Madelineanddanny]

ah the grove slow set what a tune

[Madelineanddanny]

ah the grove slow set what a tune



[Maxshard]

A Masterpiece!

[linnieverberne2]

beautiful song

[pmedh2010]

Hearing this song again after 20 years and its fabulous, awesome sax. Wesley something...not sure, but what a track....

[frostyladybird]

My husband and I had this for our first dance on our wedding day 20years ago..it remains our song still :)

[carld1967]

Amazing.... Pure class

[MrGm807]

I remember hearing this for the first time, it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.... Truly amazing and a real advert for the music of my youth (the eighties)

[PraguerMan]

outstanding - no more words needed

[13shellshock]

one of the most beautifull sax solos ever

[vulpecula999]

is Wes McGoogan still around ?

[MsFanmail]

this song is so timeless gives me goosebumps i was seven when it came out in 1981.

[MOONST0MP]

@MsFanmail Same age. Good call. I love it too!!

[MsFanmail]

@MOONST0MP isn't this song fantastic you don't hear songs like this made today

[caztopcat1970]

AWESOME,,,, takes me right back to my youth,,, one of the best songs of all times,,, how can a person not like this song,, its beyond me,,,,,,,,

[georgeeastham]

Great vocal but wow, the sax solo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[davidpork]

At this moment in time i beleve Hazel o Conner's mum is very ill, Hazel was talking to Radio Cambridgshire last night

[Kinkspace]

Hazel O'Connor and Paris :)

I have some pretty good photos of the organic building near La Tour Eiffel :)

Nice, I get the video & song mix ;)

[rjmphotographic]

don't know about the vid but the song is awesome...

[SwingStu]

Your move, Gerry Rafferty!

[vulpecula999]

@SwingStu you mean Raphael Ravenscroft

[Maxshard]

@SwingStu Bet you feel bad about this comment now.

[SwingStu]

@Maxshard Nope.

P.S. I bet you feel bad about THAT comment now.

[Annief54]

I agree awesome will never get sick of this track magic

[tt4pj]

Hiya,

Sadly it is true I am afraid.

If you google his name you will find the info.

Regards Phill.

[roustabout3]

perfict



[ashleybaby669]

Got the film and got all her music- nuff said - just fantastic and this song is the best

[wodensburg]

What kind of Moron could give this a thumbs down, sheer class and ageless, and Oh that sax. bliss

[evilofisalm]

@wodensburg i love this but, each to his or her taste

[TizzysAngel]

@wodensburg I agree totally re the actual song, this is one of the most amazing songs of all time by a uniquely talented lady, but the pretty pictures do not remotely relate to the song. You need the live performances to truly appreciate her talent, not forgetting the awe sax solo :)

[tt4pj]

Hiya,

The sax solo was by Wesley Mcgoogan that sadly had an accident with a circular saw that severed several of his fingers and since then he was unable to play. 

[19arussell]

@tt4pj R u serious? is that rue

[pub1scotland]

Still my number 1 song of all time! If the hair on the back of your neck isn’t standing with the sax, your application of what real talent is never existed!

[Equus1965]

Great selection of pictures for this video

[vickibarwood]

The Hazel O'Connor Collective feat. various artists are releasing a fund raising Xmas single on 6th December with proceeds to Myton Hospices ... Google ' facebook hazel o connor collective christmas single launch party ' for more info :)

[nickdoofah]

the sax, the strings, the outstanding vocals - what more could you ask for!

it is imo the best pop ballad ever written & released - takes me back to 1981 & vivid memories of being a teenager & also not realising how damn good a record it really was/is! pure magic & fantastic memories that never fade as the years go by - this is one amazing recording

[carolhamilton125]

I remember the angst! Would the guy you danced with know it well enough to hang on for the gap.....we were all so scared at the time that the earth would be ended by nudlear bombs!! Hindsight, the best times...and still some of my favourite songs even though I am now 41!

[shanesuthy]

seafox is bang on i could not word it any better .2 true

[1trevorjohn]

@2CR51 I think it was Wesley Mcgoogan

[fedupworking]

Who's playing the saxaphone please? It's played with so much feeling. Beats anything today.

[DanielF1992]

great even my 5 year old loves this

[MegaHAZEL2000]

MY NAME IS HAZEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eamonreillydotcom]

melanchonic brilliance

[LondonSB71]

@eamonreillydotcom... spot on....

[jackie28100]

Will always be one of my favourite songs.

[garynumanfanforever]

Theres not a woman on the planet that could sing this better than Hazel O Connor her vocals are just stunning so much emotion such a sad song and the saxophone is awesome a truly stunning and timeless track 10/10 what else can I say

[sportandmovies]

@garynumanfanforever your right there numanoid

[pos0617]

@garynumanfanforever I agree. What woman in the world wouldn't want to have this song sent to her. Emotional, sad, awesome, stunning, and more. One would certainly want him/her to STAY!

[pos0617]

@garynumanfanforever

[ScrittiSparkle]
