Sounds just as good as it did over 35 years ago! I WILL NEVER TIRE OF THIS SONG!

One of the greatest writers of all time. Scotts tone with vocals is just amazing...timeless and legendary.

I love this song so much and I like it when the vionlist is there!

Probably one of the best songs ever written -🙂 corka

This song is a classic that has no ending timeline - it will always have meaning to many.

1986, Thatcher's Britain, and The Waterboys shone a ray of light across everything. Joyous, lyrically brilliant.

I pictured a rainbow You held it in your hands I had flashes But you saw the plan I wandered out in the world for years While you just stayed in your room I saw the crescent You saw the whole of the moon The whole of the moon Hmm, you were there in the turnstiles, with the wind at your heels You stretched for the stars and you know how it feels to reach too high Too far Too soon You saw the whole of the moon I was grounded While you filled the skies I was dumbfounded by truth You cut through lies I saw the rain dirty valley You saw Brigadoon I saw the crescent You saw the whole of the moon I spoke about wings You just flew I wondered, I guessed and I tried You just knew I sighed But you swooned, I saw the crescent You saw the whole of the moon The whole of the moon with a torch in your pocket and the wind at your heels You climbed on the ladder and you know how it feels to get too high Too far Too soon You saw the whole of the moon The whole of the moon, hey yeah! Unicorns and cannonballs, palaces and piers Trumpets, towers and tenements Wide oceans full of tears Flags, rags ferryboats Scimitars and scarves Every precious dream and vision Underneath the stars, yes, you climbed on the ladder With the wind in your sails You came like a comet Blazing your trail too high Too far Too soon You saw the whole of the moon

A deep song, you just feel in your soul...

The beauty of this song, those lyrics is; it's about anyone, everyone you've ever known. MIke Scott used a whole myriad of people/subjects as inspiration for the lyrics and consequently we can read into it what we want. Sad, happy, lost opportunities/loves. This songs covers every emotion known. Just a great song. Thank you guys.

Young lad going to clubs in the early nighties this song was great 😊

I will never stop listening to this song. Thank you Mike Scott for this best song ever. Great that The Waterboys are still performing live!

This guy, his band - the world is just such a better place while they perform in it. Thanks Mike Scott. You really are one hell of a spirit.

I never got to see them with these back-up singers but I wish I had. They personify the joyfulness of this particular song. Love it.

Un récord !!!! Baby ... ver la luna llena Y semidormida bajar a tierra para pisar tierra nadie había allí

This certainly a long way from when I saw the actual, "Waterboys" perform this live in 1985.

Right? Sure, a lot of singers as they get older need to lower a song's key, but good lord, it sounds almost awful. And sure, playing live sometimes sacrifices a few subtleties, but good lord again, the organ fills?! And one last thing, before I go listen to it in my car over and over, full blast, like I used to... Wtf is up with the bass player not playing that iconic little riff of a bass line? Has he heard the record? Oops, lol, "record",... i meant, hasn't he heard the damn cassette? FYI... I design headstones for a living, and I just did one for a guy whose wife died, he put, "I wondered, I guessed, and I tried. You just knew" under her side of the stone. It was "their song", i almost f#%&ing cried.

I will always love this classical unique 80's song but the visual of the chubby white chic dancing removes 2 stars. I give this video 3*.
