the voice and sound of this song.....bring's an excitement within me for some reason....but then that's how you grow to love a certain artist's sound's....and for me Mike Scott is one of the leading best of voices out there today!!!
I was given this song as an attachment to an email on Christmas eve! The best Christmas gift I have ever gotten!!! thank you Stan and for knowing the Waterboys.
Seen them in concert in the Isle of Skye many moons ago in a Circus tent. The wettest & muddiest gig I've ever been to. Also the most fun & entertaining. Waterboys make fantastic proper music. The so called bands that are top of the charts now could learn a lot from real music players like them!
one of the great songs from Mike scotts long catalogue of songs. A genius songwriter, who writes with so much emotion, that somtimes it is overpowering. One day he will be recognised for what he does!
Piano , sax , guitar fantastic. Saw them as support for U2" in 1984, U2 were good but these guys blew me away, followed them eversince.
don't worry mate, i'm 51 and this song (in fact the whole album) makes me relive one summer many years ago. i think mike scott has an unequalled gift from god with his songwriting! wells up so much emotion in me for one!
@hornetobiker Am 45 too.... and I SO love this shit! I bought This is the Sea on vinyl when it was first released and still remember every word to every song on it. Pure magic!
great song.brings back memories.i remember seeing them in concert at q.e. theatre.when they played this song it brought the house down.still have the concert shirt to remind me."room to roam".thanks for sharing........ken
Hi SUNSHINEandSPIRIT, have you been a Waterboys fan since forever like I am, just wondering. I have been enjoying all the videos you are posting.LOVE.
:38 through :43 is a BEAUTIFUL picture. I have always loved the words to this song. One of the most beautiful love songs ever....reminds me of someone.. <3
Oh Steve, This is Awesome!!! 5*s I Really enjoyed this one Very Much...I'm Soo Happy to see your back doing your Awesome videos again...I've missed you...How are you doing Steve?...Anita
Isn't it interesting that "...Your love feels like trumpets..." but there isn't a trumpet in the song...Gorgeous and beautiful.
