[mynthon11]

Still listening every morning...loud!

[renckisero]

the construction of this song seems like a cathedral. when listening you can surpass everthing in this bloody life

[mynthon11]

This "intro" and riff plays in my head very often...heh :-) Great lyrics

Thank you for sharing this show! I was lucky enough to see the waterboys open for U2 in san francisco in 1985! kinda havy memory, but this helps to remember! LOVE

Aaah, so many memories from this track, thank you for posting! x

[didoma73]

thanks kgtype, certainly appreciate the upload

just heard glen hansard done a cover of this, and he's a great great admirer of the waterboys and van the man. he was also one of mic christopher's best friend ;p. funny how good music revolves round and round, 'til we come back to the beginning all over again.

[logixish]

One of my fave songs. Thanks.

Fun! There's nothing like the band's albums from the 80

Fantastic, I was there amongst the crowd that late afternoon early evening....one of the most underated bands and lyricists.

buffaway - nice one - enjoyed Mic Christopher a lot. Gonna watch a few more of his now - love this YouTube for passing good music round the world

[buffaway]

hi, love this. im pretty new to the waterboys ( i know my bad). but i first heard this sung by an irish singer who has sadly died, mic christopher, there is a great one of him doing it on you tube, sitting round a camp fire, def look it up

[ajn11111]

brilliant song, had the album but gave it to someone who never gave it back. so sad...............!

[kgtype]

So glad you feelin it too! I was there also and these song so took me back to the girl I used to be and inspired me all over again. 1986 was a good year for sure

[Golactico]

I was at this incredible gig - 17years old, whole life ahead of me and on that warm June afternoon there was nowhere else I'd rather have been. Those were the days.
