@ingelaaaaaa Horses for courses. Maggie had the folksie style more suited for this song. Sally has perhaps the greater technical range. But, hey , I could be wrong as I have heard little else by Ms Reilly. Any links, anybody?
@karlcolt Next thing you'll be saying Phil "The Phibber" tells tall tales....surely not !...every time someone takes Phil seriously and makes an indignant comment it renews Phil's faith in the gullibleness of some people.You wouldn't be interested in buying the Eiffel Tower would you ?...Phil is offering it for sale early next year.
I always thought this was a cheerful song until I realised it was about a man violently stabbed to death at 4am in the morning and his woman couldnt push through the crowd to save him . . .and when she realises hes kicked his cloggs - she hopes to meet him again in heaven - its a very dark song . .
Strikes a chord with me in a way that few other songs do. Is it the age I was when the song came out, or something in the song itself, I wonder? Love Maggie Reilly too.
yes I agree with leo0b, singer is Maggie Reilly and the drummer is the beloved Pierre Moerlen, Mike's longtime friend since Tubular-Bells-days, who sadly died in 2005
@HaloSvevo: The drummer depicted in the video may very well be Pierre Moerlen (I don't know what he looks like), but the drums you hear are played by the legendary Simon Phillips.
lovely...

It sure sounds like Maggie Reilly...but who's whispering the echoed "shadow?" She looks like she could be Sally.

Sally Oldfield recorded Mirrors - this is definitely Maggie Reilly

I got the album and it says Sally Oldfield matching this voice.
My thought is that someone is throwing sand in our eyes - be it Sally, Mike or the record company.
Anyhoo, the voice is lovely and the song is great, nevermind who's singing and who's not.
