Great tune. Will always love this one.

[MusicNewsWeb]

Magic unfolding!

[kariminns]

My favorite song by them thanks for sharing.These boys are still very tallented.

[rlove123]

Never thought I'd hear this one again. Thanks for posting!

[Saabinseptime]

I loved that song !!

[borisjapan]

Haven't listened to this for more than 20 years. Thanks for posting this.

[markoos72]

So many good memories,so much good music around this time,now we have so much manufactured dross in the charts.

[grazer770]

i am 47 and still havent been to DISNEY LAND! boooooohooooo!!

[superman973]

The music of today basura talaga. The 80s had great music. The present generation raised in hip hop shit will never understand but I know what music I was raised in. By the way I am an 80s boy.

[frostbitev3]

putcha nakakabata yung song na to,,

[longlostcomedy]

Great Song.

Up there with The Church - Under the Milkyway and Love & Money - Strange Kinda Love as 80s tunes go.

Gotta a lot of radio airplay in Dublin especially on CAU FM.

[stardustbinbag]

thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting this

[jezzyby47]

I'm just uploading the Graceland video from the chart show and Mahalia from the Tube as i write this. Not got all of the Graceland video though. You remember what the chart show was like for cutting videos at either end.

[LittleTokyoOff]

this is just so great go to google videos and type in Graceland Bible and you can see the video under the name Chart Show 86 on myspace.

[Naoisevl]

Became my favourite song of all time as a kid. Still is. Just doesn't date. Are there any videos any where? It just annoys me they're still underrated, even on youtube!

[graingermillred]

the greatest compliment you can give this mini-masterpiece, is that it doesn't sound like an 80's tune - it would still sound contemporary if it was released tomorrow

[FraKcman]

thanks graingermillred from the (Spaceward Studios) sound engineer who recorded this

[tomydubai]

cool version. i'm still listening to my original tape bought back in 86..its lasted longer than my Sony Walkman.... recommend his album with Darden Smith - Evidence

[Shuggie41144]

I posted this elsewhere on other Bible stuff - hope you get the gig

If you miss his work - check out his collaboration stuff with Eddie Reader- its the best stuff she's ever done - fuck Fairground Attraction - that was pish - her Robert Burns cover stuff is gorgeous and stirring to anyone with a bit of the true blood cursing through their aul' bones (thanks eddie)

Boo Hewerdine was the Mutt's Nutts

[stevieb501958]

havent heard this album for a long time. Sounds as good now, as when i first heard it. Why werent they bigger?

[gerryhansolo]

where the heck did this come from? excellent version, more acoustic! arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! what a gem!  thanks for sharing!!

[skepticepilleptic]

wonderfull tune 5/5

[EarlGreyIII]

Thanks a million for posting, you can't imagine how many paul simon references I went through to find this gem.

[louiecostello]

haha. poor old bible. their name only brings up crazy bible fanatics and their songs only bring up albums by either simon or garfunkel haha

[beevapatrol]

Correct Abert and Costello, names are a terrible burden to bear lol.

[louiecostello]

ah someday beevapatrol, someday we'll be free to not be confused with religion, simon and/or garfunkel, abbot and costello, songs from pebbles...

[northzeroseven]

try to listen the band called loft,its also an 80s band..

[zenileon]

Hello, if you like them, then check out a band called "Danny Wilson", they did some lovely stuff. Their lead singer released a tune some years ago called "Freefloating", you would like it!

[kangaroocomedy]

Super post...

[ntbrd67]

i have loved the bible since the 80s and im a fan of Boo. Its a pity there isnt anything else on you tube relating to thema s they defo need heard as they are very good musicians.

[rogerinkart]

Hmmmm...this is different from the version I knew. More acoustic. It's excellent.

[EarlGreyIII]

yeah, its a bot more jangly huh

[cf414]

brilliant

[jonno1970]

[blyndon1]

a true beauty

[gardabetbet]

korek ka dyan para70jt..hehe, wlang bang blue nile? pale fountains, upload nmn. tnks

[gibber259]

i bought walking the ghost ages ago, i thought it was a goth band, and man i was surprised and happy in equal meassure, this band kicks ass, found eurika too in a charity shop on tape, mint band, thanks for putting this up:)

[boilingblacksea]

This remixed version (found on the mini compilation "Random Acts of Kindness" is far more indicative of their maturing sound found on "Eureka" and "Dodo". A bunch of stuff has been rereleased on Boo Hewerdine's Haven label.

My favorite 5 Bible Tracks:

Crystal Palace, Graceland, She's My Bible, Auctioneers, Eureka

[captainlucy]

I haven't heard this song in getting on for 18 years now, and it sounds just as good now as it did then! Absolutely beautiful! :)

[westernpark70]

i've got this on 12" single... fantastic track, and as all golden tracks do, it stands the test of time!!

[Ilovesimpsons07]

havn't heardthis for 20 years - truly an amazing song. The best kept secret of our generation.

[ihmcallister]

Great - Does anyone have the song "Mahalia" and if so please post!

[boilingblacksea]

Truly a crime this wasn't more widely heard back in the day. Then again, in a selfish kind of way, it's nice to have the Bible's music as a kind of secret friend.

One of my all time favorite artists, their bittersweet music really has a hard time finding an equal.

[para70jt]

Maraming salamat sa posting. Naaalala ko tuloy ang WXB102 at BM105 at NU107 noong 1988. Lagi kong kinakanta noon itong kantang to graceland. Memories.Railwaychildren,Big dish,Frendsagain,PeterMurphy,W­ildswans,etc.....

[dlamiss]

what a wonderful song

[ianmcculloch87]

i'm the only fan(i guess)in Argentina....great band...great song...a lot of memories...

Boo Hewerdine is a MASTER.

thx to post this song.

[colin9876543]

No man, I was a fan too! (The other one lol) They never got the stardom they truely deserved for a brill album

[earnocked]

Just bought Random Acts of Kindness on amazon just for this song, the extended version. Loved it nineteen years ago then lost my tape and hadn't heard it for over ten years. This was their best song then Skywriting and Honey Be Good imo. Boo still going strong.

[teddyqpr]

super song, excellent band with some top tunes, hooks and melodies galore. a forgotten great from the 80s. try and get some of their music, you'll be glad you did!

[whawie101]

im looking for this video for 20 years now

[imux]

Great song by a great band! Its from the album Walking the ghost. Used to listen to it round 1988 i think. Brings back a lot of memories..
