MIKE OLDFIELD - THE LAKE

[DoubleSnapProduction]

LoL times my BRAIN. 

[alexandrmusic]

As a Musician/ Composer I am a great admirer from Mike's Songs. Love the special patterns he uses, and the lot of differen instruments. I do it my self and in a way I am influenced by Mike. As I was driving in Wiltshire some years ago I felt the influence. And it is real funny as we approached Stonehenge my Cd player cracked in a funny way and Tubular Bells started to play, ;) That was very Odd gives me goosepimpels as I write this at the moment!

[82nightwalk]

this track is so cool for driving car! :)

[tobias964]

no its not great but well life is water its whats makes us go around so i well i kinda like it

[Erikerak29]

Une grande inspiration pour mes propres compositions. Sans doute le meilleur du genre.

[mal1gosia1]

Love his sounds...

[dinkeldal]

typische Oldfield sound.. ik ben er mee opgegroeid 

[tutanchamon1]

Full version finally uploaded :) check out my page ;-)

[fanchette122]

j'ai encore le bon vieux vynyl...l'album date de 1984...c'est tout simplement génial

[NICKY752]

why did you cut off the ending? you missed out at least 3 minutes.

[tutanchamon1]

@NICKY752 Nicky if you wish full version..... I think its still in my PC somewhere. That time there was a time limitation... 10 minutes or something for 1 upload. that"s why. Originally I made full version. I'll upload full version soon ;-)

[fredo1169]

PLANANT !!!! Je crois que c'est le mot .......

[khernobyl]

8:48 - this part was wonderfully sampled by Noon for Pezet/Noon - "Ukryty w miescie krzyk", an awesome Polish rap song. Check it out. Oldfield's music always was great, even when used as a cut-up sample.

[Foxhoundn]

Most wonderful song ever? Vote below

Yes / Yes

[NarcissistsDie]

This is one of those tracks that Oldfield fans forget, then once reminded of, say: "Oh yes, yes, I love that one" :-)

[shiftmeister]

Absolutely brilliant music. :)

[magnikus]

that 'tututu' thing at 7:00 makes me shiver...

[Foxhoundn]

Thanks to the world for Mike Oldfield. (Or god bless his parents that they made him)

[edison668]

VERY SUPER VIDEO

[1HarryH]

Nice images and wonderful music.

[MORRNO1]

Haven't heard this for a long time thanks for uploading it, my favourite piece is approx 3 and half minutes in,sends shivers up my spine,in a nice way of course.. Majority of this genius' work is just emotional...From a guy who has had mental issues in his life too.. Hope he does some more live concerts before he hangs his boots up..

[Tubularek]

You killed this song ! Cutting off the very end - classical Mike's climax - is something that I can't understand. You spoilt everything - even if your intention was to keep the listener interested with hiding the best. It did not work. Congratulations - you ruined it... Oh my...

[Tubularek]

Underrated. Totallyly forgotten. Diamond. The day is just beginning... Just close your eyes ...

[yutufyoursel]

wonderful. maravillosa música.

[vodkeev]

Preco si odstrihol koniec? :(

[fanchette122]

son plus bel instrumental depuis tubular bell

[caminorosa]

IS VERY BEAUTIFUL MIKE... ROSS

[dinkeldal]

mike oldfield componist van droommuziek die je even uit de harde werkelijkheid plukt

[blade0817]

Oh no, the absolute best part of the song, the end has been cut off :(

Anyone has the full version or possibly a part 2 with the ending?

[Jonx1967]

Only Jimmy Hendrix can match Mike Oldfield for musical genius.

[nessie986]

@jonx1967 i would say yes if j.hendrix played all the musik him self but not bein a fan of his im not sure mike still rocks for me x

[dinkeldal]

wonderful

[triffiks]

This guy is the ultimate music genius that ever walked the face of the Planet!One ambition of mine is to meet him someday.

[OMA2k]

@triffiks Trust me, you don' t want to meet him ;-)

He might have done a lot of great music but the guy is kind of a jerk with his fans most of the time.

[triffiks]

@OMA2k have you met him ? Just curious.

[OMA2k]

@triffiks I've seen him from just a few meters of distance treat pretty poorly a fan who just humbly asked for an autograph. Also, he didn't attend a fan meeting *he had already agreed to attend*, back in his NOTP 2006 tour. He left his fans waiting for him and the NOTP organization had to cope with that. Not what you would expect from a serious professional musician.

[KaitainCPS]

@OMA2k

I'm pretty sure that Oldfield is somewhere off to the right on the autism/Asperger's spectrum.

[ColinBobbyDartford]

@triffiks From experience - be careful what you wish for. Because these artists produce music you connect with doesn't necessarily mean they are someone you'd want to meet. Oldfield sounds like a troubled soul with not much to talk about unless ordered to by the record company. A nice enough chap I'm sure but the music in your head that has shaped your life to a degree has no bearing on the composer, Mike Oldfield the man isn't in your head because you don't know him. Do you want to know him?

[tomsacadden]

@ColinBobbyDartford let me tell you this,I met Mike in Edinburgh and he was the nicest,most down to earth millionaire,multi-instrumental­ist composer of modern times I've ever met.

[ColinBobbyDartford]

@tomsacadden You went for a beer with him?

[tomsacadden]

@ColinBobbyDartford yup, the guys so nice we had a beer and a fag(ciggie)

[AlexFromAus]

@tomsacadden That's because there is only one multi-instrumental millionaire. Mike.

[desiglaveva]

Wonderful masterpiece of Mike's! Thank you for the upload!!! And also for the beautiful scenaries!

[darkmarkrammstein]

fuck. iv never this shit b4. its fuckin amazing

[TheSJoy]

so sorry! missing the end! But its in my head!

And no one can take that away!

thanks for a genious Mike Oldfield!

[MyAquarius85]

Wonderful pictures and great, great work from Mike Oldfield. I really sorry, that the most beautiful part of this track is missing. But thanks for the uploading tutanchamon1. Peace...

[my2bcollection]

überaus ärgerlich

würd´ ich mal komplett laden, oder gehst du im konzert auch immer 5 min. vor schluss raus?

[tutanchamon1]

Hast du vielleicht etwas fur YT bezahlt :)))

[my2bcollection]

Du vielleicht ?

Allerdings investiert: nämlich 9:46 h Lebenszeit

sorry, aber wenn das mein upload wäre, würde ich einfach die info dazu geben, dass das ende fehlt; dann bräuchte keiner entteuscht zu sein, dass der "Tusch" fehlt ..... :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

[phfrankh]

Yah! schone

[paulchen7661]

@tutanchamon1

Gut, das es Geld gibt, nicht war?!....ohne geht's wirklich heut zu tage gar nix!!...was fúr eine Welt!...

[tutanchamon1]

@paulchen7661

Welt is wunderschon, menchen aber nicht. PC macht euch alle total argerlich. Gehen Sie nach draussen. Frische luft und wasser sind vielmals mehr als vie sagt man es....gelt? Lacherlich :D Welt is wunderbar.....Guten morgen

[Sunflyer68]

schade, das beste vom lied ist die letzte melodie, und die fehlt.

[jamagik63]

Vielleicht Mike eine Idee gehabt hat aber eine kurze Idee ....

[GulusAmazigh]

lovely music thnks

[tutanchamon1]

You're absolutely welcome :)

[plutoflip]

I love this, after Ommadawn it's my next favourite album, but such a shame the last section and climax are missing here. For me this is his most underrated instrumental.

[PalmaRhea]

Csodálatosan szép!

[nakashix]

Beautiful pictures !

How nice your sence!

[Keijz74]

Nice pictures and a nice track by Mike Oldfield.

Thanks for posting.

[jorgebcn59]

Fabuloso, para disfrutar con ella XD...

[vargazol2001]

I love this, but the best part (the last one) is missing :-((

[SaphronPearlCar]

Music great - a series of still images is hardly video!

[ajs41]

I like the contrast between this from 1984 and Crises in 1983. Crises has a sort of futuristic sound to it, whereas this is more serene. I like Crises slightly better but this is not far behind.

[ayubtawasne]

La musique instrumentale est merveilleux ...

[6Alice6In6Hell]

Amazing

! :)

[marcstrat]

Great music,very nice piece!!

i follow Oldfields'music,since 1973

i have every album(cd)

also his sister and brother,are great musicians

regards

Marc

[xyzkerry]

Just amazing my friend - really great video and of course 'great' music!

[saltwatersun]

An absolutely Excellent piece of Micheal Oldfield Music to Exceptional Video Images.... .......It is Truely Outstanding.....

This is True Art.

[chrisq78]

Great song! East or west Mike Oldfield is the Best! :) oldfield's fan from Silesia.

[marsa74]

It's a little bit like "The Moldau" from Smetana, isn't it?

[MAHAUPEKSHA]

MIKE IS GENIUS!!!!!

[skycladwow]

getting high on music,just amaziing. Have all Mikes tunes, so great to watch videos.

[Mordillo71]

Simply amazing!....

I love this sound. . .

[tutanchamon1]

It really is! This sound is one of the greatest I've ever heard.........incredible!!

[Simon0]

Interesting track! This is the kind of Mike Oldfield i like.

Also some magnificent pictures!

[kulten]

I really love the "Discovery" album. Listen to the solo in "Discovery", the bass line in "Poison arrow", Maggie's voice in "Talk about your life"... and "to france" and "the lake" are perfect.

[GingeSkywalker]

this song always makes me jump out my skin everytime at 1:46 great tune though! thanx!

[Spongebobbkn]

Ha, me too... the first time I had it on, I was in my uni-box room with the volume up loud - that part hit, and I nearly died from shock. This song brings back those memories and has completely shaped me - def. his most underrated piece.

[71tamas]

Discovery is a great album of Mike Oldfield, my favs are Poison Arrows, Discovery and of course the Lake - especially the final part. (I have chosen this section for my High Tatras 2 slideshow)

The pictures you selected are great as well.

[tutanchamon1]

Hi Tamas, Discovery is my favorite album from Oldfield and Poison Arrows is No.1 by me as well. That time I have uploaded this post there was a limitation of 10 minutes for an upload, so I was forced to cut my full version..unfortunately, YT terms... Well, thanks for viewing and have a nice day.

[Sunflyer68]

da fehlt ja das ende, und das ist das beste. schade

[fanchette122]

Waouw.......ma jeunesse

[Alicia7777777]

Wunderschön. Es hat mir sehr gefallen. Vielen Dank.

[tutanchamon1]

Sie sind willkommen Alicia, es ist wirklich ein besonderes musikalisches Stück.

[promykos4u]

from witch album is this song

[tutanchamon1]

It's from album Discovery.

[chocotanes]

Viva asturias, me cagon dios

[DoctorE0]

Pure blizz!!

[Beuska7]

Thanks for including images from Slovakia- makes me proud!!

[tutanchamon1]

Me too :) , you're welcome.

[stevedonyoung]

I'd agree that this is the best of the tracks on the Discovery album - the whole 10 minutes really gels as a piece of music. Certainly one of Mike's most memorable compositions

[lsdmadman]

i discovered Discovery whilst traipsing the relatively Holy Land

[pelussa69]

este tio es la puta polla, ERES EL MEJOR

Y AVER SI VIENES PARA ESPAÑA

[Avagadro1990]

Were can i get a cd

[Simon0]

amazon is always good.

[343Kintaro]

AAARGGHHH !!!! interrupted !!! in one of the best moments of the track !!!

Please, put the remaining runtime on another video. Pleeeeease...

[tutanchamon1]

:) this was exactly my first reaction when I found out that although I made whole music video...it was too long. YT terms of use that time..max 10 minutes......max 100MB, YT ToU now still 10 minutes:(....max 1GB..as soon as they will extend the runtime, I'll make it whole once again, I promise;).Maybe I'll use the remaining runtime on some of my new videos. Avoir une belle journée, il est inutile de Vex, c'est seulement une chanson

[343Kintaro]

You certainly knew I'm french because of my english faults...

"il est inutile de Vex" : I was not offended, don't worry (Why should I had been?).

Regards

[blighty63]

This was the best track to come off the Discovery album. Great to find it on YouTube as well. I must get the CD of the album to listen to this great piece all over again! It brought such vivid pictures into my mind when I used to listen to this track. The pictures compliment the music well too!

Well done!

[coloradobeatle]

A very nice piece ! Eventhough it is hard for me to hear it. I have many pictures of my first love, comming to my mind. She used to live near a lake in Switzerland. I've lost her a long time ago (I'm 41)...

[matapitos]

you cut the best part!!!

[beelzibubbles]

I adore Mike Oldfield. Arguably the greatest musical genius of all time.

[blakiez]

The best artist of all time.

[fouringsix]

just wow... i have been searching for this album since i was fourteen (im now 38) i could not remember what the album was called. this piece is without doubt the pinacle of mikes talent for ambient realm. it captures the many sounds and feels of the era from floyd to shadows thankyou.

[tutanchamon1]

So that has been a really long time, you've been searching for this. I absolutely agree..this piece is one of the best Mikes compositions I've ever heard, if really not the best one. You're welcome.

[ommadawn54]

Can anybody post In the pool? Or some of the other great B sides.

[EMILIOTEI]

Impresionante tema... lástima ... solo 9.190 youtubers... No puedo entenderlo.

Amazing piece... what a pity! just 9.190 youtubers... I can't understand.

[ramonbe]

Es y sera el mejor, las horas que he pasado escuchando a Mike Olfield son incontables. Son inyecciones de velleza pura.

[aussieangie]

Hi. This song captures real emotion. Really LOVE this. Great stuff. XX

[psicobiris]

man, i love this song

thanx for the upload!

[tutanchamon1]

You're welcome.

[Spongebobbkn]

Wow - great upload... this is the best track from Discovery!!! It just invokes so many emotions...

Can see his instumental talents blazing through when you listen to it in comparison with the rest of the album.

It's a real shame the ending was cut off, as it's just the most amazing collaboration of sounds imaginable.

[argyess]

agreed, definitely best track on the album and I'd even say one of his best instrumental tracks ever. I've been looking for this one on YouTube for ages- thanks!

[kakabixlis]

I Love Mike Oldfield since i was a youngling,well as also a fan of Tolkien whenever i heard this song for some reason it reminded me of Elves and Rivendell and Middle Earth,Plus one of my Ever Fist Strategy Games:Yhe Lords of Midnight,Please make a new video containing the entire song please!good work though!

[Ph4n3s]

Also The Lady of The Lake (La Dama del Lago) healing every wound and sorrow.

[Szederp]

Tutanchamon, as much as I respect you for putting this song on Youtube I must say that I can hardly understand what you have just done! You arranged a beautiful video only to EXCLUDE THE FINAL, MOST BEAUTIFUL, EMOTIONAL PART OF THE SONG!!! Why, oh please tell me!

[tutanchamon1]

Hi Szederp,thanks and you are right!! I've made whole video, but there is a limitation of 10 minutes lenght you can maximal upload..you can imagine how pissed I was after I've realized that alhough it fits with size of the file..its too long...!!!

[Szederp]

I see, such a shame it is :(

Thank you for your answer, I'm gonna get that cd into the player now....... ;)

[karstenmp]

@Szederp.. You are absolutely right about the emotional part of this composition! This is where Mike Oldfield really shows his talents in a solo that says everything, and can't be forgotten!

Tutanchamon1 are not to blame for doing his best for us to listen to this 10 minutes of (still beautiful music) version of The Lake although we agree, we miss the last approx 5 mins of the number...

[Ph4n3s]

Now that I've seen it many times, I realize that those images of lakes you put together and Mike's music can concur in only one word: PEACE (LIBERATION).

Deliver me, out of my sadness.

Deliver me, from all of the madness.

Deliver me, courage to guide me.

Deliver me, strength from inside me.

Deliver me, loving and caring.

Deliver me, giving and sharing.

Deliver me, the cross that I'm bearing.

~Deliver Me- Sarah Brightman~

[tutanchamon1]

Hi karstenmp, thank you and yeah I'm also confused when thinking about, where is this guy taking so much power and inspiration to perform such a great music..he is a genius, no doubt and of course albums like Crises , QE2, Ommadawn are incredible too as well as AMAROK, which is my top...just got Music of the Spheres..one worth MONUMENTAL.. You're welcome and hopefully I'll post some another songs soon..

[karstenmp]

Hi tutanchamon1 !!

Mike Oldfield is my all time favorite musician. I don't know where he get it from, but the man is a pure genious when it comes to music. "Discovery" album are one of his best released albums, but, might i say, that crisis,qe2 and ommadawn are some of his finest works also..

Thank you very much for posting this fine music..

[Ph4n3s]

Oh, this is one of my father's favourites compositions. He truly loves it. And so do I :)

Thanks for this video.

Regards,

V

[babydogprotection]
