Man did this song break my heart back in the day lol, wow, it's bittersweet to look back and realize that you never really get over someone you truly loved, you just learn to live without them until eventually it hurts a lot less. I know many people can relate to this beautiful song, it's a classic
This prooves that Above & Beyond have real talent , because they're not just djs who know how to mix , they can play piano and stuff like those + Tony has such an amazing voice :)
"Making Plans" Time held its breath A motionless spell of rapture Across the room A memory had been captured And through the years Though distance lay between us I carried your torch To illuminate the darkness And I still lose myself In that orange glowing moment When your upturned face Seemed to answer all my questions But when I asked myself As I do from time to time now Where it all went wrong Is there really any point in making plans? In making plans? So I made my vows In the last low hours of morning As I lay you down I heard you whispering a warning But then we lost ourselves In that orange glowing moment And your upturned face Seemed to answer all my questions But when I asked myself As I do from time to time now Where it all went wrong Is there really any point in making plans? In making plans? And I still lose myself I still lose myself making plans
I am a 25 boy from India & I have a strong emotion of living this life alone esp. in the wilderness of mother earth, in the lap of nautre and putting a speaker in the sky which only plays Abv n Bynd music. #A&B for life
After listening to this song for months I just now start to feel like this song is about catching yourself still making plans with the person that you love after you've broken up. Like losing yourself in them still and you still catch yourself making plans on marrying them, and doing things with them in together in the future. Idk just a thought.
i think u got part of it right, i think its a song of somebody that is heartbroken and is reminiscing a long lost love, in which both knew that it was going to an end, so "whats the point of making plans?" and trying to rescue a dying flame, when you and your loved one know that the "orange" lighted flame eventually burn out. So he is sad asking where it went wrong and what if he could have planned to do something different to make it work out. So he is left thinking if he should have ended it or not....idk my two cents... i could be wrong i hope A&B give us an analysis of this song haha....but the feels of this song tho!
I agree. His vocals aren't anywhere near as strong as the other singers, but his earnest performance really adds a quality to the song. His performance really suits the vibe and lyrics too.
I was bought this for my birthday from someone very dear to me, who recently is no longer apart of my life. I feel that this song truly means "What is the point of making plans together or at all, now that we have broken up or that we are going to no longer fight for each other through thick & thin?" It hurts, a lot listening to this song. It reminds me of all the happy memories and smiles together, it also tears me apart because we had so many plans together. I know that when I return from this upcoming deployment, and if I see you again I'll have to remind myself you are with me anymore.
Cant understand how this song has less then 1 million views in 9 years I got a ticket for the Acoustic 2, but was canceled du ti Covid 😢 Hope u will make it soon Greating from 🇸🇮
This. This is why I LOVE Above & Beyond. It's not all about the number of fans you have, nor it is it about money. It's about making music that hits close to the heart, and nothing but.
It is impossible not to break into tears with such a beautiful and meaningful song. Of course I do relate with it and that makes it even harder, but I truly believe that anyone who hear this must feel the same. English is not my first language, but it's amazing how, nonetheles, this song gets through my emotions that deep!! Thanks for giving us all this gift and I hope you keep on doing it for many years.
speechless.....wow....and then there is people that still thinks electronic / club music is automatically made just clicking on a magic big button on a pc..... There is so much work, effort, passion and ideas behind every single record...at least for above & beyond.... i personally think that nowadays there should be no boundaries in music, an artist or band should be able to use any instruments (analogic or digital, classic or modern) in order to build the best outcome possible and pass more feelings at the same time..there is no point of being stuck on jsut guitar+bass+drum and nothing more, or the opposite...Unfortunately, it seems that only electronic artists have such an open mind...good for me as I listen to them...i just would love the world bee able to open their eyes and gets the real magic in music!! Congrats A&B
I was suppose to be on my way to the Acoustic show in Dallas!!!! Darn you COVID!!!!! "Is there really and point in making plans" No...no there is not!!!!
Above & Beyond what an absolute talent. They take there music on many different levels and manage to pull of every idea with a great imagination they are far more than your average DJ's and that's why I have so much love for them. Jono, Tony & Paavo you guys are simply incredible and you already know how well loved you are but speaking for the millions around the world that I share the passion for your work with, it's a pleasure to be part of everything you do. You are my Group Therapy!
Thank you for making this song dedicated to those who have lost anyone in a past year, and it has been just a struggle to keep everything together. It was when you presented the reasons for you performing and producing this song hit me... and I have related to such, losing my father in law this last october. Having heard you guys talk about the meaning of this song... It hit me hard... Thank you for relating and helping me being able to release my pain of loss through such great music... Hasn't changed my feelings but definitely will ease my mind and soul for my girlfriend and I. Thank you so much for coming to Hawaii. You may not read this, but you had made my life as these tickets to your show were a blessing to us from a surprise friend. The odds of how well life puts you exactly where you need to be. Can i mention as your group performed all night at the Waikiki Shell, the International Space Station had been flying over many times throughout the day to night fall.. Mahalo, and Aloha... Please come back to hawaii when you have time .
he may look like someone you wouldn't want babysitting your kids but hes got a cracking voice....fair play they are my ALL time fave artists...cracking track too!!
I like how they said that they make music at their own pace and they intend to keep it that way. As you, Above & Beyond, give us not just music but something to hold on to when we are down and lonely, I will be forever your loyal fan. I will patiently wait for the weekly podcast, stay tune as news about your records to be released some long time from today, or anything. You guys were my personal Group Therapy when friends and family is not good enough for me to get better.
This version is special - it shows an important part of how all these awesome tracks come to life, and I love how Tony goes 'Above and Beyond' to sing it. Considering the stellar quality of the artists lining up to work with the guys, this was a gutsy move. A million miles from the studio, and that honesty makes me actually prefer this version (and I mean no disrespect to the amazing Alex Vargas or Production on the final track by that).Well played, sirs, well played. An epic moment from an epic consert.
Time has held its breathe Emotion has spelled rapture Across the room A memory had been captured And through the years Though distance lay between us I carried your torch To illuminate the darkness And I still lose myself In that orange glowing moment When your upturned face Seemed to answer all my questions But when I asked myself As I do from time to time now Where it all went wrong Is there really any point In making plans In making plans So I made my vows In the last low hours of morning As I lay you down I heard you whispering a warning But then we lost ourselves In that orange glowing moment And your upturned face Seemed to answer all my questions But when i asked myself As I do from time to time now Where it all went wrong Is there really any point In making plans In making plans And I still lose myself I still lose myself making plans
Amazing songs year after year! Only a handful of artists/bands manage to keep such a steady, godly quality in their music for such a long time. And the acoustic gig livestream... Just left me breathless. Music history was made right there! How can you not like A&B? Ps. Hope to see you in Finland this year!
Gorgeous song, and perfectly summed up how I feel this year. While you guys are making tunes, proper 'songs' will always merge seamlessly with proper electronic music :)
"Is there really any point in Making Plans?"
:I
Above & Beyond: feeling .... passion ... sounds that penetrate into the soul
Wow
What is the name of this singer ? Great performance !!!
Anthony Patrick James "Tony" McGuinness
I am still playing this song once a week in 2024 ❤😊
Man did this song break my heart back in the day lol, wow, it's bittersweet to look back and realize that you never really get over someone you truly loved, you just learn to live without them until eventually it hurts a lot less. I know many people can relate to this beautiful song, it's a classic
Exactly 🙂
sad but true 🥲
Thank you Above & Beyond
tony wins the prize for most british sounding singing voice ever
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
The way the strings and piano break down in the chorus is absolutely stunning and pure beauty.
This prooves that Above & Beyond have real talent , because they're not just djs who know how to mix , they can play piano and stuff like those + Tony has such an amazing voice :)
Another example of why A&B are above and beyond the rest.
"Making Plans"
Time held its breath
A motionless spell of rapture
Across the room
A memory had been captured
And through the years
Though distance lay between us
I carried your torch
To illuminate the darkness
And I still lose myself
In that orange glowing moment
When your upturned face
Seemed to answer all my questions
But when I asked myself
As I do from time to time now
Where it all went wrong
Is there really any point in making plans?
In making plans?
So I made my vows
In the last low hours of morning
As I lay you down
I heard you whispering a warning
But then we lost ourselves
In that orange glowing moment
And your upturned face
Seemed to answer all my questions
But when I asked myself
As I do from time to time now
Where it all went wrong
Is there really any point in making plans?
In making plans?
And I still lose myself
I still lose myself
making plans
Pure goosebumps
finally i hear tony singing ..amen :)
Perfection
I am a 25 boy from India & I have a strong emotion of living this life alone esp. in the wilderness of mother earth, in the lap of nautre and putting a speaker in the sky which only plays Abv n Bynd music. #A&B for life
The first time I heard this song I nearly broke out into tears ;(
As with all their songs, it's very touching
And I still lose myself
I still lose myself
X2... Me too
I still love this acoustic version the best. Tony's voice is beautiful.
After listening to this song for months I just now start to feel like this song is about catching yourself still making plans with the person that you love after you've broken up. Like losing yourself in them still and you still catch yourself making plans on marrying them, and doing things with them in together in the future. Idk just a thought.

sounds illogical but plausible for someone who is in love.
Tony says "A love that was dreamt about for years, and short lived that eventually crashed."
I love this so much, I really hope Tony stays onboard as the vocalist for this track when the non-acoustic version arrives.
I agree. His vocals aren't anywhere near as strong as the other singers, but his earnest performance really adds a quality to the song. His performance really suits the vibe and lyrics too.
I agree. I don't think he has a strong singing voice and it was rather bad at times.
Respect to A&B for this!
I've had a broken heart for several decades, this song is my torch, Tony delivers this song straight to my soul...
i fell you my brother.... its seems that broken heart dont have cure, and you feel the hurt always and forever
@ 03:30 A proper tear to the eye song and a realization that YOU are better than whatever you are facing

This comment nearly made me cry 😢😢😢😢
Words don't describe how powerful this song is. Congratulations to the Above & Beyond crew and orchestra for such an amazing performance.
Can anybody else not stop listening to this song?
Cant understand how this song has less then 1 million views in 9 years
I got a ticket for the Acoustic 2, but was canceled du ti Covid 😢
Hope u will make it soon
Greating from 🇸🇮
I have been revisiting this song for years now and it is honestly one of the most beautiful songs I haver ever heard :)
This. This is why I LOVE Above & Beyond. It's not all about the number of fans you have, nor it is it about money. It's about making music that hits close to the heart, and nothing but.
The Beatles would approve. This is majestic.
How it is possible that 34 people do not like this masterpiece. I just can't understand...
God this could be a Beatles classic. This song will be timeless.
those 3 man are very talented musician and composers. i happy to find them
It is impossible not to break into tears with such a beautiful and meaningful song.

Very beautiful & amazing! The 5 ignorants who disliked are probably Aoki, or Guetta fans.
Just found this and it’s without doubt the best version of this song ….absolute bliss…….😊

Beautiful, you can really tell by the emotion in Tony's voice that this was written from his heart
its plan C ! we,ll save plan B for a special end of week Group Therapy session! thumbs up for making plans !!!
Two parts I absolutely love: The line "orange glowing moment", and the strings at 3:24
Tony really captures the emotions of this song perfectly. I think he has a wonderful voice and I'm glad I got to hear it in such a way
I can't believe it's been so long since this dropped. Still just as good today as it ever was.
This is a beautiful version. It sounds so much more somber and emotional than the album version.
Incredible! THIS is why Above & Beyond are the best in the world. True musicians and brilliant at everything they do.
Y todavía me pierdo.... Escuchando este excelente tema!
Faith restored in A&B.
One of the best songs of the year and only 49k views? That's pathetic....A&B
please like and share dude...
Oh my God... I always cry when I listen to this song... Absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!
Unbelievable !!!!!!! These WORDS "describing exactly" my life situation in this moment ... It is what I'm going thru ...
he may look like someone you wouldn't want babysitting your kids but hes got a cracking voice....fair play they are my ALL time fave artists...cracking track too!!
This is what you call TALENT! Legendary stuff!!! Voting them on dgmag top 100 is an insult to them. They deserved more respect!
And after 7 years this song is the most beautiful for me...
Perfection. Truly amazing.
Now I would like to hear the trance version of this. ;)
This is epic.
Have I gotten over this song yet? No❤️
Damn, that was so soothing..
Tony killed it this song is perfect
Such a beautiful piece I love the acustic version
Time held it's breath...
So many chills
Is life this song
God, it's amazing...
I like how they said that they make music at their own pace and they intend to keep it that way.

i'm actually impressed tony's able to make it through the song. those strings just make me melt.
I love this new song with every part of me.
That is beautiful. That song just broke me.
Its simple, AMAZING Above & Beyond!
This is absolutely fantastic, Above & Beyond are really beyond most DJs because of their understanding of beautiful harmonies such as this one!
This version is special - it shows an important part of how all these awesome tracks come to life, and I love how Tony goes 'Above and Beyond' to sing it. Considering the stellar quality of the artists lining up to work with the guys, this was a gutsy move. A million miles from the studio, and that honesty makes me actually prefer this version (and I mean no disrespect to the amazing Alex Vargas or Production on the final track by that).Well played, sirs, well played.

Hell yeah. Tony can sing!!!!!!
Pure goose bumps...

That is the magic of A&B, it fits perfectly to our current moments of our lives. How many times do u need to play it to really like this song: Once!!!
Can't get enough of this track. This will forever live on to be a classic.
Amazing songs year after year! Only a handful of artists/bands manage to keep such a steady, godly quality in their music for such a long time. And the acoustic gig livestream... Just left me breathless. Music history was made right there! How can you not like A&B?
Ps. Hope to see you in Finland this year!

Back again listening to this beautiful song,a truely amazing voice,Always brings a tear or 2 , 😥
was excited to find out that they included this brilliant song to their new album this time sung by Alex Vargas!
It's perfect. Love your voice Tony.
Great song. Here's hoping they do a trance/club mix of this.
That's what it originates from hehe! Trance and Acoustic flow together in perfect harmony =)
Chills......just...chills...
Gorgeous song, and perfectly summed up how I feel this year. While you guys are making tunes, proper 'songs' will always merge seamlessly with proper electronic music :)
Can't be more beautiful, this song expresses me .... thanks A&B !!!
