[FahrenheitJethro]

At first I was in love with Maggie Reilly's voice. 'Till now that I see what she looks like...

[RC3B0]

@FahrenheitJethro Now, I assume, you are "over the moon".

[SargeantTanaka]

9 Poeple took an arrow to the knee

[howitt1000]

blind guardians version is better

[ilverdheal]

@howitt1000 It's just... different, stronger, heavier... They're playing other style of music so it's really hard to decide which one is better.

[80paura16ciao]

thank you...

[idle44]

Yes, I like it.

[Soissesglaubsmir]

hearing this song is like nibbling premium chocolate

[7veilsphaedra]

What a lovely song! What a beautiful voice, Ms. Reilly.

[Stuban007]

I <3 France! Hello from Croatia!

[MickeyMouse12100]

Je vais aller à la France, même si elle prend ma vie entière pour elle ...

I'm going to France, even if it takes my whole life for it ... this song is so touching *tears rolling over my face*...

[rolly3924]

to my dearest friend WENA,

with loving care... rolly



[tina6581]

Doesn’t Maggie Reilly sing like an angle. Or is it just me that thinks that. :-)



[claptoned0]

France is plenty of arabs now, it's not like you can imagin it.....

[thefourthfunkateer]

@claptoned0 , just like England is full of pakistani's and black's, it's nothing like can imagine it either!

[11revital]

i love it , so delicate, this song came in to my mind few days ago, and i knew i had to find it on youtube. i heard it first many years ago, when i was much younger.

Abbinka you did good job.

[abbinka]

@11revital thank you :)

[Eurashkigal]

This song hit me on a long roadtrip, i youtubed it and fell in love, i knew the song due to my parents, and now i'm addicted. I like the cover of Leave's Eye, but the original, memories of my childhood.

[Amingr]

The melody brings "Scottish Highlands" to my mind. (Reilly is Scottish)

[TheMjblades]

Beautiful song. The great Kim Wilde has just covered this for her new covers album "Snapshots". I thoight a bit too whimsical when I first herad it in 1997, but I certainly would own this song today. Deserved to be his biggest hit after 'Moonlight Shadow'-both sung by the brill voice of Maggie Reilly. Songs used to tell stories & recount past hstories-all very original & nothing like this happens to day in the insipid, deathly pollutant that is the music scene today! Yuk. Song=9/10 at least.

[ThePanzerfist44]

triumph, murder,intrigue , rape , love and tragedy - the true history of mary queen of scots is more epic than any movie script could ever be .

[Carry570]

Paris, Paris, ich fahre nach Paris!!! :)

[TuSNRW]

1:20 Pont du gard, that's what France means to me =)



[BraindotEXE]

i hear not get to france but "Ghettofranz", lol..

[atomicer1]

@BraindotEXE Nice one. Now I can't understand the real Text in future. ;) Thanks a lot. :D

[tvox1972]

french're real pain in the arse people , i know i'm french but a really beautiful country and amazing cook . England : nice people but very bad food and raining country

[olcapolca]

This song's about the Queen of Scotland, fleeing from the English and hoping to reach its enemy, France, where Mary grew up. So in fact it's not a song about France at all. Strange video to go with the song imo.

[stevenmccs]

Can't believe I've never heard this lady before. And to think I'm Scottish as she is. I've heard the songs but by goodness does she not have a beautiful voice and the clarity is staggering.

Fabulous song....

[1990JonasPoulsen]

This is my mother's favourite song - i can't help but think about her when hearing it. :)

[Kohrote]

@1990JonasPoulsen Aww! That's so cute! ^^

[Henner47]

I like this song very much. In 1985 I heard this song many times as I stayed for three weeks in Great Britain. When I hear this song today I remember back to this time; it´s for me unforgetable.

[HanzzzCZECH]

Although France is not my most favourite country, Mike Oldfield and Maggie Reilly are my favourite musicians and that's what makes this song great for me!

[emjtube]

4 people from Slovenia watched this video and they don't want to conquer tutti frutti Italy (as suggested at 1:23)

[Akynn]

@emjtube Seriously people!!! Slovenia is an independent country!!! AAaarrrrhgh! No, ponavadi nas stiščijo še pod staro Jugo :)

[darekdarekn]

Uwielbiam!

[MrWhybotheratall]

an amazing song ladies and gents ..when it was released i was too young to comment ..there was no internet ....now ,i think i'm too old...love you guys!

[deezxDD]

voll hammer

[ilverdheal]

Przepiękna piosenka! (If anyone thought poles can write only "zajebiste")

[poocoo666]

@ilverdheal zajebiste :P



[TheDita37]

@ilverdheal

I wszystko jasne :D pozdrawiam :)

[zanepl]

@ilverdheal podtwierdzam :)



[abbinka]

@ilverdheal zgadzam się i widać, że nie tylko to słowo umiemy pisać :D

[andrewburbidge]

This song is about the sad story of Mary Queen of Scots. She was held at Fotheringay Castle and was executed, another of the Tudor's relatives who died in the family's internal struggles.

[Kilchattan7]

@andrewburbidge She wasn't a Tudor or a rag tag come lately. She was of the Stuart lineage which jug eared prince of welshness Chucky claims as his third title. Marie was French of Scots descent but had greater claim to the pishy "throne" than Elizabeth. This is why WALSINGHAM did away with her.not Elizabeth. Bess was terrified of Marie but wasn't allowed to accept her as sister.

[sickness666ish]

@andrewburbidge I heard it was about the english soccer team trying to get to the world cup which was played in france that year...

[KwnstantinosAgas]

No comments for this absolute beauty ..... You make silence and .... you listen this amazing song and .... you imagine that you fly over France, over La Manche etc ...

[nick1f]

@abbinka - I like the way you showed Mike Oldfield and Maggie Reilly's photos from old to young. Such talented people should remain forever young...

[zakykarya]

teleio!!!!!

[Laird802]

Wonderfull

[Laird802]

wonderfull

[MrPat50100]

france for ever

[TheShinch]

great song.

[kourilo1]

What a great music!!! Both Mike and Maggie are at their best! Evergreen song!

[Squab1972]

A timeless classic by Mike Oldfield 

[TheBartek13]

pamiętam jak byłem mały zawsze to leciało w radiu (takie małe wspomnienia z dzieciństwa(aż płakać sie chce ze szczęścia)) i nigdy nie mogłem tego znaleść i wkońcu udało się.

[jtmichaelson]

From the U.S. I've been a fan of Mike & Maggie since "Moonlight" in June of 1983 and have been impressed and inspired since. Many here only know the X Files Theme and Tubular Bells (but only know it as the theme from the Exorcist and can't tell you the title. I love this song probably more than any M&M song.

[poxonyourusername]

@jtmichaelson The X-Files theme is by Mark Snow, not Oldfield. (But the Tubular X remix, which I believe was made by Oldfield, is pretty cool.)

[audi18tfsi]

amazing song ( from greece )

[marbur100]

Magic:) Wundebar Lied:)

[H4rdb4se]

Mike Oldfield hat viele viele viele geile lieder gemacht ! ;)

[jetTXPE1991]

<3 episch

[Kenentigern7]

Just love all the nonsense attached to this , it's about Mary Stuart who only spoke French but queen of Scots who lizzy feared to the sole of her corns.

Anyone for Babbington plot or barrel, yer Faulkin' kiddin'

Toodle pip

[4wdiesel]

nice song would like to point out one thing to all the nasty poeple out there. my grandfather was in british india army and he was part of the vast indian army that freed the south of france from the germans,he told me of the war and how the french poeple cryed because they were so happy to be free. hitler would have enslaved the these poeple. i love france and all the good people i have met there

[JDMlover91]

Most beautiful! Thank you Maggie Reilly & Mike Oldfield. Thumbs up if you agree.

[jackpiratable]

wonderful!

[taariqtaariq]

let us not generalize about humanity. I have seen too much of this tarring people with the same brush. Mend your own fences.Developing world countries are often exploited by Western countries .Most people in poor countries are quite nice people & I have spend much time in places such as Pakistan , India and SE Asia.Anyway this is a music video not soap box for people's prejudices.

[kelosker]

Mike Oldfield ist ein Musik-Genie

[berlinmitte10117]

@kelosker Sie haben Recht mein Freund!

[MrAndide]

Cooles lied und coole bilder!!!

Sehr gut gemacht!!!

[tangerino222]

great song!

[fatredikl]

Beautiful song the best Mike Olfied and Maggie Reilly

[DaLotili]

Love it...

[triopsev]

Meggie and Mike = musical dreamteam !!!

[blove234]

ig liebe dat lied dat is sowat von geiiL

[mankkaa43]

This song is must!

[linnieverberne2]

i love this song

[dingutscal]

timeless



[rockangel7777]

Love this medieval sound in this song lol

[Landfeuerglocke]

Une belle vidéo avec des photos géniales! :-) Cela donne une bonne impression de la France.

[florin1123]

@Landfeuerglocke ;c'est vrais;mais s'il n'y aurait pas besoin;mon "imprinting' sur la Fance c'est bon pour toujours

[TGTCC2010]

Great Song!!!!

[Pinjahamsu]

Amazing song! I love Maggie Reilly.

[Deimos0872]

@DareiosXerces Whatever you might think about the main problem in france, it are Nazis like you. I'm german and my girl is french, I got to know very much nice french people, but there are always such ignorant fools like you.

Glad I'm german, here people would be ashamed to be such an faschist. We've learned much about faschism in our past.

[DareiosXerxes]

Actually, I think there is only one problem in France... islamic and african scum.....such lovely country is being destroyed under immigration

[pimenton73]

@DareiosXerxes Agree

[florin1123]

@DareiosXerxes ; you're right...but, you see, some achievements a timeless; \if to-morrow world will end, France will have its place in Astral

[taariqtaariq]

@DareiosXerxes : bigots and right wingers are killing France mate!

[PrincessKonstantina]

@taariqtaariq right wingers... I thought they want to keep france as beautiful as it always used to be instead of bastardize it with muslims and africans!

[joseylida3]

@PrincessKonstantina try a big african dick in your ass

and...you ll see

bitch

[taariqtaariq]

@DareiosXerxes

I presume you would have supported Hitler in his day if you were around, keeping the races pure and protecting the fatherland etc. Don't be such a Nazi . We are humanity and borders , races religions are distinctions that have been invented to make us squabble. Can't you see that?

[PrincessKonstantina]

@taariqtaariq OK lets erase the borders... can you erase the animal instinct in the third world people?

[fredrosier]

prima combi op muzikaal gebied.

[undenohr]

most beautiful guitar solo...

[a7medsaad]

soooooooooooooo beatiful , i like France sooo much !

[tonyoboy1970]

The best song beautiful

[maadler25]

@Hverglemer:

From "Discovery"

[Hverglemer]

what album is this from?

[Hverglemer]

Nice! Blind Guardian's cover of this song is amazing! ;).

[EvilRobin1]

France is an beautiful country. But most of  the people there is't nice at all D:

[rodolphegilles]

@EvilRobin1

Most people in France are not nice at all? Wow, how long did you stay there? Must take a loooooong time to survey 60 million people and come to the conclusion that "most of them"are not nice at all. I do agree that we have our share or idiots and jerks, but they don't make up the entire people.

[EvilRobin1]

@rodolphegilles Sorry, wrong of me to write most of them people. But can I instead say almost all the people i've met there?

[Rachegotter]

@EvilRobin1 If all the people you meet are assholes, you might want to start asking yourself why pricks are driven to you.

[rodolphegilles]

So far, everybody who ever met me found me very kind, friendly...and there were mostly English native speakers among them. nearly all found me "different"from other French...to my surprise, when I asked them how many times they visited France, most of them actually never did. And those who did only visited Paris for a few days. Paris isn't France, it's only it's capital city and even to French people,

[rodolphegilles]

Parisians are always busy, uptight, kind of snobby and look a bit down on whoever is not from Paris. So you see, a few bad apples doesn't mean all the apples found in the orchard are rotten!

[taariqtaariq]

@EvilRobin1

The poorer the people are and the more rotten & cruel their governments are the nicer the people are. Just visit Iran, Indonesia, Pakistan, Cambodia etc. nice people:-)

[smurfytwo1]

wtg great tune

[FAYCHI69]

You did a good job putting the video together...nice work :O)

[Laviour]

Today I'm going to france!!! aaa :D

[LightAndLiving]

Wow cool and great song!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[peripeteia35]

Maggie IS THE BEEEEEST MUSICAL VOICE ever heard on Earth !

[marcoblueeyed]

great combination

[kourilo1]

wow! i first heard the angel voice of Maggy and afterwards i discovered the unrepetable sounds and genuos music of Mike.

[soulhonkey420]

Britney Spears

[PATRYCJA1508]

Super :)

[davidnettleton]

Sharon has a rich voice and her delivery is superb. Her singing seems effortless - the hallmark of a true star.

[davidnettleton]

Name me a better female singer?

[derektyler]

Don't get me wrong, I love Maggie Reilly.

But to answer your question, what about Lisa Gerrard? or Loreena McKennitt?

[Summon256]

@derektyler what about Roberta Flak, Minnie Riperton or Shirley Bassey?

[faberhr]

sharon den adel

[nerbo2]

Enya !

[davidnettleton]

Yes, Enya has a great voice - so has her sister!

[Whoanow3]

I hope I will never get to France :-) kidding...

[Rachegotter]

@Whoanow3 Thank God! You're not welcome here, Joe.

[diablo8521]

Very good song

[76grande]
