Whoever made this video cut out a large and important part of the middle of the song and it's too bad. Songs like this are sacred nowadays and shouldn't be monkeyed around with. Why can't you just listen to the song and stop trying to push your political worldview onto everyone. Look at the bigger world picture and perhaps then you'll understand why weapons of war are necessary for our safety in this country.

@foppy63 "Whoever made this video cut out a large and important part of the middle of the song " mmmm.......I suggest you contact EG records or Brian himself as this comes directly from an official release "Desert Island Selection"

Am I being political? It`s just a poignant video set to one of my fave songs

Have a nice day!

Given the chance I'll die like a baby On some faraway beach When the season's over. Unlikely I'll be remembered As the tide brushes sand in my eyes I'll drift away. Cast up on a plateau With only one memory. A single syllable. Oh lie low. lie low Lie lie lie... Best anti-war song ever.

@rdouglas41 I was proof-reading as I typed, just stymied by the assumption of everyday Americans that war is an end to it all (on our televisions, anyway)... It's the opposite in reality and Brian's masterpiece from "Jets" shouldn't necessarily be a "whipping song" for the anti-war lefters. America's current wars must be fruitful in the end, right? (yes I'm CRAZY, eh?). Just think about it... China will win in the end.

Great song, but I don't like the vid.

I always found this to be a peaceful song, the vid causes me pain & sadness to see a world in war & turmoil.

@parkhill62 I want to apologize parkhill62 for perhaps coming on too negatively regarding your video composition. Its quite good regarding synchronization and such. It's just that Brian Eno was such an esoteric and emotionally layered composer that his songs can have different meanings for different people. I think this was the case with "Faraway Beach". Anyone who digs Brian Eno nowadays with all the junk music thats out there, is a true fan of the "old school". We're "oldies" ourselves, eh?

[foppy63]

@woodrage1 Eno came first with "Jets" in 1973. Seeger's Mega-hit in 1978 "Still the Same" was just that... a commercial pop hit. Brian Eno blows Bob Seger away in every catagory (except making pop hits...) Get the CD (or LP) if you want to hear this song in it's entirety. Every song on "Jets" is a masterpiece (Baby's on Fire, Driving Me Backwards, and the title track come to mind). Unfortunately, they just don't make music like that anymore nowadays.

@96lagos Almost, but not quite, and Eno did it first! :o)
