Rip Cyril

[cche16]

OZ. OZ. OZ. OZ. OZ. CYRIL O'REILLEY'S EXECUTION!!!! this song goes so well with that whole heartbreaking scene. i was bawling the entire time.

[dobritza65]

part of my childhood, this voice, snow slowly falling down....pure emotion. and to know she played in ex-YU at the end of seventies....amazing.

[59jimmyb]

such a beautiful song,,such an astonishing songwriter

[SDPpaja]

[zjowdown]

@TheHotZ If you feel you're love is slipping away from you...

[aspiva4]

i cant believe i never heard this. xoxoxo thanks

[zjowdown]

@aspiva4 You're very welcome :-)

[taragreenaurora]

the ending of this video is kinda much, but i do love this song so.

[zjowdown]

@taragreenaurora I hear this song was a part of a TV-serie. It was never broadcasted over here so I can't disagree :-)

[Janzu101]

@taragreenaurora but real to many; life is like this sometimes. Fantastic woman!

[Govanmauler]

heartbreaking

[zjowdown]

@Govanmauler Yes, or about to break a heart ;-)

[kitten85100]

[andyjaycee]

@23basemode23 Exactly why i listened to this.

[COLOMBANIPM]

J'adore , merci pour ce beau partage .

[MultiBelle22]

I did a play once where we used this song in a really great scene; it was so emotional and heartstopping and I think of it every time I hear this song. It really matched what we were doing in the play x

[taildragger53]

A sincere voice of experience...a voice of the World's pain. I could always relate to Joan's music from the early days.

I wish her well.

[oscaroscarful]

I can't believe their are people in the world who have never heard of Joan. So underated and passed by.

[dearmissedessa]

I have never before heard a voice so full of turmoil, beauty, and just pure emotion like I have with Joan Armatrading on this song. I know this probably isn't the case but Joan sings this song as though she is improvising, singing through raw pain.

I'm glad Joan is still 'under the radar'. Maybe she is too.

Some people got 'John and Paul' as their religion. I got 'Joan'.

[hivicar]

My first hearing of Joan was in 1973 when, in Back Bay, Boston where I lived, wandered to the back alley steps one summer night to hear whomever was playing inside Jazz Workshop. Instead, next door, the captivating sounds of Joan were coming out of the wide open door at Paul's Mall . I was 16 (underage) but soon found myself sipping a beer at one of several open tables. Soon after we all saw her on Saturday Night Live performing the song that had caught me, "Love and Affection."

[MultiBelle22]

I've loved this song since the first time I heard it!

[dandada14]

this song makes u wanna cry when u realise u miss someone in ur life

[PB111627]

It was "Love and affection" played at a very low volume. Never forget it.

[PB111627]

I played Joan as my wife was giving birth to my great daughter in 1988 she has been an inspiration to countless people with a voice from God himself.

[zjowdown]

@PB111627 I hope you played Willow instead of Save Me? ;-)

[mirandazar]

@zjowdown i did actually

[16gurudev]

Hearing this for the first time. Beautiful.  There comes a point in every life, when all you can do is resign oneself to fate or beg for mercy. Fate may not change but still- Save me,

[katandbrettsav]

Ethereal, moving, timeless...

[tomosoos]

so nice

[SuperMerrymerry]

been listening to this song since the 70's and always at moments when I am deeply down. Saw Joan perform it once in Santa Barbara, and the intensity and beauty of the song performed left us all awestruck and and yet it was very cathartic. Everyone looked to each other to see if they had witnessed the same thing-magical!

[mirandazar]

@raiderbaby84 Thank You....i hope you are doing better.....blessings

[sandrobeats]

i can`t believe 3 people clicked on the "dislike"-button....they must have been stoned and hit the wrong button ^^

...this song kills me...

[sandrobeats]

This is probably one of the Best and most Melancholic Songs I`ve ever heard...Great great feelings.!

[crushedz]

nobody does and the lights go out,and you spend the next few years wandering in a dark place,and you try to live,but it doesn't work right.Eventually you find a way to live,but it's not the same.

[governmentwarning]

@crushedz ... Yes, exactly as you say.. the lights go out... and the realization sets in... and you know you are alone... then darkness.. then nothing... Its been five years for me... and the sun is returning.. slowly.

[triptoheaveandho]

@crushedz

yes yes yes.

you finda way but it is never the same

[virgoan69]

awesome !

[mirandazar]

joan reminds me soo much of my late sister Mary she and both love joan and saw her together many many times..i even played 3 of her songs at the funeral..its been almost 6 years now since she left this world and i am finally at the place where i can listen to joan again..i never thought i could but am glad that iam able to..thanks joan

[jonathanbirchley]

Wow!! After all these years this amazing track really gets to me, and inside me. Joan was at her height and for me this has to be the zenith of her creative powers. Thanks for posting

[TaoNeko]

Oh god... It was in Oz when Siryl... oh... I cryed so hard.... I thought I would die

[robleejay]

'heard this incredible song on an episode of "Oz" -- 'recognized that distinguished voice from my first encounter with Joan Armatrading some thirty years ago ... ethereal! ... peace:)

[shadowhisperer]

@robleejay

that made me cry while cyrils execution...

[robleejay]

me, too ... cyril was one of my favorite characters & this song captured the spirit of the mood (i thiink he was spared execution, the first time) ... peace:)

[nanderson1965]

This song has very deep mystical imagery. I feel it is a love song to a spiritual love. Sinking 'The current's uncertain... throw me a life line save me. In this game of chance I forfeit Like a moth with no flame... while you stand on the inside looking in... and you are evasive, throw me a life line save me... She sounds like Rumi or Hafiz... my joannie...

[ALoLaz13]

Exactly!

[mscwman1]

You know when you love someone and you think they do the same then next thing you know they don't want to talk any more and you feel like your heart has been rip out and you know there is no hope but, you keep holding on hoping it will change. SAVE ME!!!!!!!!

[chefchey]

Good and loving observatin brother. Take care, I'm Chey

[blueinfinite]

mscw - sounds like you have been through a difficult time, but it will get better - okay? - believe me despite what you may be feeling right now...

[PeeWeexoxo]

da im gone song i will remember so u remember....

[CristianoRonxldo]

Like a moth with no flame to persuade me... Amazing song

[carboidrati]

Beautiful song!

[lowde2000]

Wonderful song. Very nice video. Just curious, the barbed wire with blue, its interesting, but if it is anything more than flattened barbed wire in a circle I'm not seeing it. Is it something more than it seems to be? Thanks

[phfrankh]

Yes I thought the barb- wire was very symbolic of baphomat!

[phfrankh]

re: previose comment.

[MobiusBandwidth]

so powerful I can only listen to it once in a great while.

[takennamaylor]

You are spot on!! tks for posting this

[Noodleydoo]

I completely agree that this is one of Joan's best songs. Stunning. I can't think of a better lyricist--she always had such a novel way of saying things. "Like a moth with no flame to persuade me..." come on--that is just stellar song-writing.

[jonathanbirchley]

Thanks for posting this fabulous song. Intensely moving, and amazingly powerful in its emotional message. My favourite of all hers.

[dandada14]

me and my gf broke up today what a song sad day

[phfrankh]

It's not an ending ...just a middle. Don't sell your self short. (;-)

[dandada14]

thanks phframkh i know it is but its hard to want to go on with someone else when u know u loved that person so much

[matt3hr]

one of few most emotional songs ever!

amazing!

[dandada14]

what a singer song writer

[phfrankh]

throw me a life line,,,save me inside looking in Save me

[glennbronx]

I agree withZDOWJONcomment...it is one of her best....also adore NO LOVE and WARM LOVE...perhaps she'll pull these out on her next concert tour. She pulled out another gem YOU ROPE YOU TIE ME on the last tour...LOVE AND GUMPTION TO THE WORLDWIDE COMMUNTIY OF JOAN FANS! We ain't dead yet!!! Her website is great and responds personally to some?most comunications personally...

[loveyrs67667]

forget your tv throw it away and read books or watch you tube.... tv is for losers

[endrehth]

This song will always remind me of the heart-breaking scene in Oz...

[jubamiad]

My little boy Joe says: "I like this video". And he is right, and I love the song too. She's a beautiful lady and a beautiful singer.

[blueinfinite]

i so agree with you!!

[EnigmaDrath]

First heard this song on a very sad episode of HBO's OZ. I'd managed to keep a straight face during the whole thing up until this song started playing. Then I just broke down and wept into my pillow.

VERY beautiful song. Really touching.

[immortaltako]

wow, sounds REALLY familiar to what happened to me!

[sushiserv]

Yea, I heard it during Oz too. Then I had to have it. Good Song.

[paddyamos]
