There always some silly comments--but,hey,what video by even the greatest artist escapes vitriol on YT?! I don't know who breeds them but there are plenty of mindless,cruel people throughout the internet who enjoy their small lives in their own way.BUT,that said, when it comes to those who appreciate something special,who cares?! No single human being is perfect but we ARE--The World--while we exist on this planet. So--let us all strive to make it better. A truly wonderful song & video. K xx
I absolutely love, love, LOVE this!!!! - but am very sad to see some folk being so petty and picky about it...it' s a COVER, recorded to raise funds for The Earl Mountbatten Hospice. It's just a different version...and what a version! It's wonderful, sung with feeling by some fabulous voices, and I keep coming back to watch it even though it brings a lump to my throat every time. WELL DONE to all involved in making this video, and for contributing your talents so selflessly to benefit others.
Congratulations to everyone involved in making this. Those that choose to criticise are no doubt those that always have the half empty glass.Your dedication and talents are recognised by those that care and atleast we know with this song 100% of the money generated will go to the cause. Sue Grant
its hard to believe people are commenting on whether its better than the original or not , personally I think its brilliant and I just downloaded from itunes. Well done all of you and for such a great cause. Deb X
Thanks, for being bold. Your action for meaningful, but you can not say that it is better. I found few problems with few singers who didn't make the tones in the words match to the music, it just sound a bit weak, if you didn't have those people it may sound better
Your comment is fair enough, no one is trying to emulate or be better than the original, these are just normal people trying to raise vital funds for the Earl Mountbatten Hospice. If you need to spend your dying days in a Hospice hope that people are funding the ones in your area as Hospices are mainly funded from donations.....so why don't you bite the bullet, even if you don't like it, go to iTunes or Amazon and download it!
This is TOTALLY NOTHING compared to the 1980's original. Their face expression are good and truthful but their singing sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We don't have any good singers at all, I blame it all on rap, which changes our meaning of heartfelt songs.
fantastic they have all done really really well, its for a great cause as well as my dad to was in the earl mountbatten hospice and for his final few days all the nurses was great and did a great job looking after him... well done simon and everyone else xx
i am a retail volunteer for the hospice & the cd has been flying out from the shops its a beautiful song. i've been telling every1 to download it. 1 of our customers told us its 121 in the charts please keep every1 informed about it & get it higher in the charts we need as much publicity as possible tell every1 u know
Please buy this by downloading or as a disc as the hospice is a wonderful place if you or a loved one end up in there. My mum died in there and the staff couldn't have been any kinder. My dad died in St Mary's and that was an awful death with many uncaring staff. The hospice need your help to keep it running. A BIG THANK YOU to all involved in making this. Min
Well Done to all, I lost my Father also this year and the Hospice staff were out of this world, so i know how Simon fills. What little time dad had left the hospice did a good job because dads last months were spent with love, care, understanding, support and dignity.
I would gladly film another DVD next year for this great cause,it has been hard work to cut it together,but to see it out there live just makes it all worthwhile.
@kalebh17 OMG Kalebh, I can't believe you have responded - last time we saw you was 2002 at your leaving do to go to Oz. Thanks a lot for taking the time to watch this, provide feedback and share it. It is appreciated, hope you and your friends enjoy it and are able to download it from Sunday. Jo & Terry xx
Your recording and video have arrived on the mainland! Great recording. Good luck with the fundraising for your charity. Debbie (Sherborne, Dorset) Merry Christmas to you all
I am a stickler for correct grammar Dilbert, but since when has it been relevant in popular music? I dare say you and I both flinch whenever we hear a split infinitive or, as in this case, the wrong personal noun but give them a bit of slack (to use the transatlantic import!), this is for our own charity and they need every penny they can get!
'We're saving our own lives... It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me'. I can't help but think that not only is 'you and me' grammatically incorrect, but a blatant rhyme has been missed out on by not using 'you and I'. Just a thought.
i think this song is fab, and shows when people can do things together when it comes to a good cause, i hope it raises the hospital alot of money after all the hard work Simon, Joe and every1 else has put into it over the last few months.
Fantastic! Well done everyone. Please send the link to isleofwightunite to all your friends & contacts. Consider downloading this song from Sunday instead of buying Christmas cards and send the link with your Christmas message.
Im spreading the word in my real name too & listening to it on Vectis Radio ... my only constructive comment is I would like to see all musicians listed in credits also would like to see a new DVD every year with more local musicians as Id love to hear Gareth Icke on there and maybe Holly Kirby and Cross Fire among others so you could change musicians every year... :) Well Done All... :)
This is fantastic, congratulations to Simon and everyone that took part. I've Twittered the Link and Facebooked it, I'm sure that everyone else is doing whatever they can. Big love xx
A group of everyday people who have dedicated their time in helping others and produced a GREAT video for a great cause. WELL DONE and God bless you all XX
Simon, you have made something very special here and whatever happens as a result is only going to do good things. My personal hope is that this goes big, because then the charity will benefit more. Secondary, but also important is that you deserve for this to be successful. It is awesome! Well Done- I am so proud of the Isle of Wight when I see what we can produce.
love it and love you too beth berry
