From his autobiography " [It's] not really [about Lennon]... well, perhaps, when I look back on it, maybe it was. I actually arrived in New York that awful evening when he was shot and I was staying at the Virgin Records house in Perry Street, which was just a few blocks down the road from the Dakota Building where it happened, so it probably sank into my subconscious."
by the way.... lol at the beginning of the song Miriam Stockley is trying to hide a bottle of something in her pocket... seems she's just screwing down the cork... ;-)
Deveras, tiene unas larguísimas uñas. Pero el tipo es genial, ni se inmuta de lo que pasa a su alrededor, sólo se centra en la magistral y virtuosa interpretaciòn.
I just watch 5 other singers try this song and this is the best, she nails it. That is why Mike is so happy. But what is with the vampire fingernails?
I am so addicted ti this video, I listen to it when I come first. Does that sentence make sense? I ha a little too much wine, but I love that video, that sound.
Ok, I will agree to his being quite a remarkable contributor to the modern clasical level of rock and roll and a skilled player... But...compared to Justin Hayward? These wonderful discussion groups are not a place to fight and scratch so I will not be stringent. Please listen to the Moody Blues and Justin's compositions and his playing.
I'll continue to enjoy Mr Oldfield's work immensely and hope you sample some Moody Blues & Hayward solo work .
You know,there is no chance to point a single musician/composer as the best overall,because there are so many excellent guitarists,keyboard players,and further that really make our day,regardless style,stream or anything else.I'm also a big fan of Moody Blues since a long time...!
Yes, Maggie Reily was the best. However this vocalist is beautiful. Let's not compare the two, but look at each performance individually. The song is great. Why not enjoy it?
EXTRAORDINARIA LA VOZ DE MIRIAM, que decir de toda el conjunto de personas que lleva MIKE OLFIELD. Yo, LOS VI EN DIRECTO Y ES ESPECTACULAR VERLOS HACER MUSICA. TUBULAR BELLS LA ESCUCHE POR PRIMERA VEZ EN EL AÑO 1977 Y ME SIGUE GUSTANDO.
She is most well-known as being the lead singer for most of the Adiemus stuff, but she's done a tremendous amount of solo work, as well as other collaborations. She's known as a British singer, but she's originally from South Africa.
She is indeed. She started life in an act with her sister Avril - the Stockley Sisters. Think they won a South African opportunity knocks type thing in about '76. Cover of Shocking Blue's Venus (later done by Bananarama). Would love to see a video of THAT.
Yeah I found them but it was a bit spooky: I was 11 when they were on the tv in SA so they looked like 2 women singing. But when you look at them now, actually they were only about 15. And look it.
I like how she turns her in-ear monitor all the way up in the beginning. And she sings great, I think a little bit flat here and there but they're outdoors and I think I saw steam from breathing so it must have been pretty cold. For such conditions her singing is outstanding.
Mike Oldfield is the living demonstration that you don't need a plectrum/pick to play electric guitar... he uses the 4 finger classic technique picking with nails... and the result is pretty good, so: if you studied classic/spanish guitar, STOP WASTING YOUR TIME learning to play with the pick... jus adapt your fingerstyle to the electric paying attention to stop stop the sound not letting the strings ring and distort... look at his solo!!! and if you need , you can use one nail as a plectrum ;)
Love her version of Rose Royce's "Wishing On A Star" from the "10th Kingdom" Soundtrack too! Just wish she would do a full version of the song! I see where someone posted this one looped three or four times!
Keep coming back here! Love this version! My favorite songs of hers is "Forever My Heart" from her "Miriam" CD! She also does a fantastic version of Peter Gabriel's "Mercy Street" on that CD as well! Wish someone would post these! Guess I need to sometime in the future?!By the way,the popular song "Perfect Day" is on there too!)
Love Miriam! Her voice is as beautiful as she is! Checkout her solo stuff it's great! Speaking of beautiful blondes..Check out Carrie Melbourne! A blonde babe that can really play the bass backing a blonde babe that can really sing! Man,I'm in heaven! Now if they would just form a band with Nancy Wilson(Heart)on guitar and Gina Schock(Go Gos) on Drums! Ahhhhh Lord take me now!...
I actually think this is better than the original with Maggie. This has a certain character and balls that wasn missing in the original. It's bloody gorgeous, like Miriam.
I was surfing along, got a Jones for YouTube..a little itch to see what Oldfield did other than Tubular Bells...and landed smack dab on the Maggie Reilly original acoustic coffee house/boutique version (wow) and lucked out completely by getting this as a second taste..with this lusty belter and her big-hall sound taking Reilly's place wih an electrified Oldfied. Wow again. Wow wow.
Both versions are mag..nificent.Did any other song sell a single record the year this came out?
