I am 36 years old and cant find anyone who i know that has heard of October Project....i heard them for 10 seconds and fell in love....makes me feels unique in a way...so beautiful on the ears....
A friend gave me their CD at my old job. Powerful stuff like this will never get big. But at least it can be found. I'm 41 and I never saw this on MTV.
Played this at my wedding in '94. Every time I listen to this song it reminds of a time when I fell in love with my wife of 30 years (and counting). . This song, and album, means more to me than any other.
Amazing how this band is rarely heard these days as they were so talented. Thanks to RUclips I discovered them, never recall hearing anything from them on radio,
Likewise. My mom would always play this sorta new age celtic folky stuff growing up and I kinda hated it after a while, but now I sort of dig it. It's nice.
October Project made a huge impact on the 1990s. I am now 54y old and visit from time to time in hopes of recapturing moments of my silly youth…. ❤ I choose Jesus everyday…
I remember this song 30 years ago. I had an ex who was my current at the time. We had a May December relationship and I had to move and it was dedicated to me. Many things have happened in my life in those 30 years but if I hear this song I can smell the smells and see everything like it was yesterday. This is one of the greatest albums I've ever heard I still own the CD I can listen to it front to back. My life would be less never having heard this music.
I have! Been to see them twice. Love their music & Mary Fahl. In ‘97 I just moved into my new place and knew no neighbors. I played OP while moving in and to my surprise I started hearing the exact same song “Ariel” playing but now it was much louder. Went to turn the volume down and realized it wasnt coming from my stereo. Come to find out my neighbors loved OP also and decided to introduce themselves by playing the same song & same CD but cranked the volume up. About halfway through “Ariel” they came over and said “Hello”. All of us were surprised the other knew of OP. About 3 years later their 1st daughter was born, Ariel. We are still neighbors 24 years later and Ariel is now in college. Out of the blue I asked if she had ever asked her mom & dad where they got her name from. I knew but she said “no”. I told her to go ask her mom & dad. Not 10 minutes later I heard OP (Ariel) playing fairly loud on her car stereo while she began washing her car. About half way thru I cranked my stereo up also playing Ariel. We both let the entire CD play thru. Thru OP I met some of the best neighbors anyone could ever ask for. Thanks October Project!!
Good afternoon, Mr. Morris. I am sorry about your wife's death. You clearly have found memories of her for a beautiful melody like this to remind you of her. May God bless you and comfort you at this time
Six years have passed, I am sure the pain is still with you in some form. I hope she returns to you in another life! I have loved this song for a long time.
Can't you just feel her passion? When she sings, she hugs the wind and the rain. She hugs the sound (the passion, the emotion) into herself and then releases it...
You rise like a wave in the ocean And you fall gently back to the sea Now I want to know how to hold you Return to me You shine like the moon over water And you darken the sky when you leave Now I want to know how to keep you Return to me Turn to me Everything I tell you has been spoken And everything I say was said before But everything I feel is for the first time And everything I feel, I feel for you I am here calling the wind I am here calling your name I am here calling you back Return to me I know what it means to be lonely And I know what it means to be free Now I want to know how to love you Return to me I am here calling the wind I am here calling your name I am here calling you back Return to me I am here Return to me
Mary Fahls voice is an instrument itself. I wish I could have seen Mary singing TAKE ME AS I AM and BE MY HERO, that would be something. But Sony blew the group & Mary away because of money instead of talent. I wish Mary great success she deserves it!!
One of a kind band and One of a kind song. Brings back a lot of memories, growing up in Trinidad and Tobago. This song was used as part of the sound track of a movie called Blown Away, great movie and this song made it even better. Wish I can find their albums more easily.
This song is definitely one of the reasons you would want to watch Blown Away again, besides the movie being very good, and besides Tommy Lee Jones, and besides father & son Bridges...!
Hi Jackie, this group had trouble finding a home on radio. I saw them in Boston. I have seen over 300 groups. This was the best concert I have ever seen. It was so beautiful..
I attended Mary's performance at the New Hope Winery on the 6th. October 2012. She was superb. Such a big and magnificent voice for such a petite lady. Her finale rendition of Nessun Dorma with just her guitar for accompaniment,demonstrated just how wonderful is her voice. I just wish she would come to the UK. Regards.
I have. My wife and I saw them in Boston. I have seen over 100 concerts. Their show was the best show I ever saw. It was like listening to the CD They were Perfect!!!!
Idk about anybody else but 36 years old and I heard this song as a kid in the movie blown away with Jeff bridges and but getting older I danced to this with my date at prom when I requested it to the dj memories!!!!!
Good afternoon, Ms. Life. I agree. I was smitten with this song the very first time that I heard it in 1994, while waiting for The Bridges of Madison County, to start, at a movie theater.
I heard this song once or twice when I was 16 or 17. Seventeen years later, it never really left me. Also glad to have found it on youtube, thanks for posting it, I'll keep coming back :)
I heard this song in the Movie Blown Away 94' Really a nice song. actually the best way to go back in time is to watch old 80's & 90's movies unless a scientist makes a time machine! Really love & miss those lovely days! Sad to say there would never be an era just like the 80's & 90's. Really love this song!!
I wholeheartedly agree. Those times were truly special in ways far beyond nostalgic memories alone; even though I was 16 or 17 when this song was released. There was some kind of magic in the air. Most who experienced it remember, and as artists, we certainly connected with it.
I'm guesisng a lot of people first heard the song in Blown Away. Otherwise I would never have heard of October Project. I don't know why, it's such a beautiful track. It;s a good movie too if you can ignore certain Irish accents.
When blown away the movie showing at cinema 21 ,i watched that movie with my girlfriend on 1994 ,i bought the cassette theres return to me, with or without you n else,i love u livi yunita
My favorite video of all times. The horse walking through water, the cave, the ocean and that voice that wonderful voice of Mary Fahl. It drew me in and accompanied me in CD format all over the world.
One of the best voices of all time Marina Belica just stunning this band was inpecable! I also struggle with no one that I know have ever heard of them 😮
Que voz é essa?!?!?!?!🌻 Ha muito procurava por essa preciosidade. Conhecia a música, mas, NÃO sabia qual banda! Hj por acaso descobri essa voz ancestral e angélica por mais terrena e humana que seja... BRAVO ❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣💚🐾💚🐾💚🐾💚🐾💚🐾
My mother passed away last month and since then I can't stop listening to this song. I used to hear it alot @ the mid 90s, but now when my world is shattered It returned to give me few min of comfort each time I play it.
Have been listening to them since the early eighties, brought me through some great times, and not so great times. Amazing artists! It's a wonderful gift to be able to see these videos! Thank you. First time that I noticed this, at the end of the video there is a man walking away.
I think this song reflects the state of a person who have lost someone special to SUICIDE. The reason is the part where the song says I known its lonely and the I know how it feels to be free. The final clue is when the person actually passes the woman without acknowledging her meaning the person commited suicide without reflecting on loved ones. Stay strong people.
+Amanda Laggan I agree......I can't stop listening to her, and the other young lady just makes it that much better....especially on the tune "bury my lovely"
I love Mary Fahl (have seen her in concert many times), and I love October Project with Marina, Emil and Julie (same), but when they all performed together it was absolute magic.
My cousin died almost 2 months ago I’m still trying to come to terms with him not being here, he was more than a cousin he was my best friend, big brother and protector I find myself missing him so much that the past few weeks is like a dream...his death has surly been a shadow over the entire family. This song whispers our/my greatest wish #returntome😢
I have been remembering part of this song, playing on my head for many years and today finally found it!!!! Speciallly hard for me because English is not my mother tongue. I LOVE THIS SONG! Right to favorites!!!!!
I am 64 and totally fell in love with them many years ago when I became a widow at 32. Still love them...
46 same brother
I am 36 years old and cant find anyone who i know that has heard of October Project....i heard them for 10 seconds and fell in love....makes me feels unique in a way...so beautiful on the ears....
So you see I'm 63 and fell in love with them 30 years ago
I am hear i know them as well as a child.
I feel in love at 36 when i heard them for 10sec. Im 38 now.
I bought their CD album 30 yrs ago
A friend gave me their CD at my old job. Powerful stuff like this will never get big. But at least it can be found. I'm 41 and I never saw this on MTV.
The 90's. The last great decade of music...
The was some great alternative rock up to 2007
Yes, 70’s 80’s and 90’s were overall the best decades. Return to Me is a real gem 😊
Played this at my wedding in '94. Every time I listen to this song it reminds of a time when I fell in love with my wife of 30 years (and counting). . This song, and album, means more to me than any other.
I am 51 years old now and i loved them in college and i still do now. This song is just ageless, they r ageless.
The best vocal group I've never heard of. She has an amazing voice.
Is Mary Fahl singing no this song?
@@EstadodeSitioOficial Yes, she is the lead singer on the first two albums (this is from the first, which is self-titled)
Yes. Her voice casts a spell.
O grupo é espetacular. Não entendo como não são mais famosos, mais tocados,.... !
@@rubensperez294 cuando Mary Fhal se salió de la banda, de alli en adelante no han sacado cosas buenas.
3 14 2024 still listening ❤
I’m listening to October Return To Me 3/31/2024
1:23
Amazing how this band is rarely heard these days as they were so talented. Thanks to RUclips I discovered them, never recall hearing anything from them on radio,
The movie, Blown Away brought me here. Very Beautiful indeed.
Likewise. My mom would always play this sorta new age celtic folky stuff growing up and I kinda hated it after a while, but now I sort of dig it. It's nice.
Same! Then when I saw the album cover I remembered my dad had the cassette when I was a kid.
U and me Both 👍
Same here. Saw that movie many years ago and instantly became a fan of this song.
Same
Escuche October Project hace 15 años, y he quedado enganchado, es una magnífica propuesta, me ha enamorado y así me mantiene.
Oh that voice, an instrument in itself. Mary Fahl is one of the best singers on earth.
Mary Fahl. Totally underated but a voice you cannot forget
Good morning this is what I call music comfort to the soul
@Earl James October Project Return To Me is one of my favorite song
I first heard this when I was 18 and now 25 years later I am still drawn to this hauntingly beautiful song.
Never gets old!
October Project made a huge impact on the 1990s. I am now 54y old and visit from time to time in hopes of recapturing moments of my silly youth….
❤
I choose Jesus everyday…
55 and agreed.
One of the most beautiful songs I've heard. I'm 50 and bought the CD when it came out. It's like the sound of my soul. Thank God for it
How can your soul not melt when you listen to this song......
Im 61 & never heard of them. A friend sent me this song to help calm down. Reminds me of the ancient Celtics.
I remember this song 30 years ago.
I had an ex who was my current at the time. We had a May December relationship and I had to move and it was dedicated to me.
Many things have happened in my life in those 30 years but if I hear this song I can smell the smells and see everything like it was yesterday.
This is one of the greatest albums I've ever heard I still own the CD I can listen to it front to back.
My life would be less never having heard this music.
I performed this song with Mary Fahl a few years ago in a show we did together. She has the Voice of an Angel :)
:)
:)
+tony spada Her voice is simply awesome. Unique
+tony spada Love Love Love Love her. Awesome, Man!
great voice-nice lady too
I have! Been to see them twice. Love their music & Mary Fahl.

I love that story so much!
I have loved this song since it came out. Now I listen to it all the time, and think of my wife, who passed away not long ago.
Good afternoon, Mr. Morris. I am sorry about your wife's death. You clearly have found memories of her for a beautiful melody like this to remind you of her. May God bless you and comfort you at this time
2019. Sorry about your wife my friend. Keep being strong. Keep her memory alive. Keep her dreams alive.
Sorry for your loss... Be strong and keep fighting.. You'll be fine...
Six years have passed, I am sure the pain is still with you in some form. I hope she returns to you in another life! I have loved this song for a long time.
Love is Timeless, Life is Eternal and Family is Forever.I know beyond faith that you will be reunited and never parted again. She is with you now.
Can't you just feel her passion? When she sings, she hugs the wind and the rain. She hugs the sound (the passion, the emotion) into herself and then releases it...
Every time I listen to this song, it gives me shivers down my back.
same
You rise like a wave in the ocean
And you fall gently back to the sea
Now I want to know how to hold you
Return to me
You shine like the moon over water
And you darken the sky when you leave
Now I want to know how to keep you
Return to me
Turn to me
Everything I tell you has been spoken
And everything I say was said before
But everything I feel is for the first time
And everything I feel, I feel for you
I am here calling the wind
I am here calling your name
I am here calling you back
Return to me
I know what it means to be lonely
And I know what it means to be free
Now I want to know how to love you
Return to me
I am here calling the wind
I am here calling your name
I am here calling you back
Return to me
I am here
Return to me
Thanks!
Return
Truly Beautiful
Words fail... .Music SPEAKS!!!!
Among the most beautiful music created. Ever.
Baywatch delivered me this song when I was 8. 19 yrs later it does Return To Me
One of my favorite songs. Ever.
Marys voice is so beautiful, it flows over you absolutely gorgeous.
Mary Fahls voice is an instrument itself. I wish I could have seen Mary singing TAKE ME AS I AM and BE MY HERO, that would be something. But Sony blew the group & Mary away because of money instead of talent. I wish Mary great success she deserves it!!
This continues to be an everlasting and haunting melody that will stand against the time.
How am I supposed to listen to this and not cry? I think of my true self when I listen. Return to me... Such a lovely song.
You have to return
One of a kind band and One of a kind song. Brings back a lot of memories, growing up in Trinidad and Tobago. This song was used as part of the sound track of a movie called Blown Away, great movie and this song made it even better. Wish I can find their albums more easily.
This women's voice, Mary F, is an unbelievable tone and so beautiful, no other modern sing uses her voice in quite this way. 🥰
Two word.... Real Music!!
finally found it after years of searching
This song is definitely one of the reasons you would want to watch Blown Away again, besides the movie being very good, and besides Tommy Lee Jones, and besides father & son Bridges...!
Just heard this song on the old movie Blown Away. What beautiful voices. Truly gifted.
Thank you for this -- I was wondering where I'd first heard it.
First heard this and Here’s Where the Story ends by the Sundays on the Blown Away soundtrack
Hi Jackie, this group had trouble finding a home on radio. I saw them in Boston. I have seen over 300 groups. This was the best concert I have ever seen. It was so beautiful..
My friend danced to this song and I fell in love with this song,her voice, the music, the message...what a beautiful song
The most tear's i have ever shed for a band , I LOVE YOU guy's for ever .................
seriously.. how good is this..? wish modern music that we have stuffed down our necks had an ounce of the class that this has..
beautiful..!
I attended Mary's performance at the New Hope Winery on the 6th. October 2012.
She was superb. Such a big and magnificent voice for such a petite lady.
Her finale rendition of Nessun Dorma with just her guitar for accompaniment,demonstrated just how wonderful is her voice.

YOU ARE KILLING ME WITH THIS! I MISS THIS BAND SO MUCH! I WENT TO SEE THEM ALL OVER CALIFORNIA JUST TO SOAK UP THE TALENTED AND AMAZING MUSICIANS!
I have. My wife and I saw them in Boston. I have seen over 100 concerts. Their show was the best show I ever saw. It was like listening to the CD
They were Perfect!!!!
These irish women are born to sing and heal hearts
her voice is magical
Is anyone listening to this beautiful song in 2021? 🌹✨💚💫😊
I'm listening to October Project Return To Me mid May 2021
Herr Thomas Sheridan turned me on to this.
Absolutely amazing. Mary has the most haunting voice I have ever heard.
I just found October Project now with Bury my lovely and just now fell in love. How could I have missed them in the 90s?
HER VOICE!! No words can capture its beauty..............at least not my words. Maybe some poets?
One of the most special songs I've ever heard on the Israeli radio on '94. it means so much to me, love it
This woman makes me believe that there are angels among us...she is one. With her voice she steals your heart and sets free your soul
Idk about anybody else but 36 years old and I heard this song as a kid in the movie blown away with Jeff bridges and but getting older I danced to this with my date at prom when I requested it to the dj memories!!!!!
Same here
I had the soundtrack and got their album with this song on it. They have other cool songs on it
I can't believe it's been more than 20 years since I heard this. The beautiful & shy voice of the 90s: October Project.
Tienes razon. Yo tambien.
Man, I would hardly describe Mary Fahl's powerful voice as "shy," but I still feel you.
20 yrs fabulous. I found this song not by accident a gift from my GOD JUST 2 YRZ AGO
What happened to them? The most unique group in decades. Where did October Project go?
Good afternoon, Ms. Life. I agree. I was smitten with this song the very first time that I heard it in 1994, while waiting for The Bridges of Madison County, to start, at a movie theater.

Blown away had some real nice songs!Absolutely fitted the film,the mood and outstanding songs at that.
What a beautiful song
One of my very favorite October Project songs! I wish I could sing like her...
I heard this song in the Movie Blown Away 94' Really a nice song. actually the best way to go back in time is to watch old 80's & 90's movies unless a scientist makes a time machine! Really love & miss those lovely days! Sad to say there would never be an era just like the 80's & 90's. Really love this song!!

@@ryanfreer77 that song make me wish to learn English I truly wanted to understand the lyrics... it's absolutely beautiful
Did you hear this song in the 3rd episode of the 5th season of Baywatch?
I'm guesisng a lot of people first heard the song in Blown Away. Otherwise I would never have heard of October Project. I don't know why, it's such a beautiful track. It;s a good movie too if you can ignore certain Irish accents.

I'm 42 and I'm only hearing this band for the first time. Surprised I never heard of them until now.
return to me happy days in 1994 !
Expressive hands, and oh that voice..timeless
My favorite video of all times. The horse walking through water, the cave, the ocean and that voice that wonderful voice of Mary Fahl. It drew me in and accompanied me in CD format all over the world.
to me this is sooo spiritual! it’s definetley the father of us all, calling out to us , Return to me! return home!
Mary Fahl sings like no one else and is so beautiful
One of the best voices of all time Marina Belica just stunning this band was inpecable!
I also struggle with no one that I know have ever heard of them 😮
I LOVE her voice! Beautiful music!
One of the best & most musical bands, EVER.
October Project.... Me encanta, me fascina. Magnífica voz... 🎶🎷🎵🎼🎤🎙️🎸🎻
Que voz é essa?!?!?!?!🌻
Ha muito procurava por essa preciosidade. Conhecia a música, mas, NÃO sabia qual banda!
Hj por acaso descobri essa voz ancestral e angélica por mais terrena e humana que seja...
BRAVO ❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣💚🐾💚🐾💚🐾💚🐾💚🐾

This song don't take me anywhere ...Just feel it.
Amazingly crystal clear voice. Sounds like an angel❤
Oh my God... This song blown me away.
This song brings me to Tears ! God Bless 🙏
This video is legitimately one of the prettiest things I have ever seen.
I fell in love with this group when they first started. She has such a beautiful voice.
October Project Return to Me is one of my favorite song!
my brother bought me the CD in New York back in the 90s. I still have it and play it. Thanks bro
October Project and The Crash Test Dummies always seemed to go together so wonderfully for me .
masterpiece.
One of my all time favorite bands!!!
Such a beautiful song. Makes one think outside of the box
I think this song reflects the state of a person who have lost someone special to SUICIDE. The reason is the part where the song says I known its lonely and the I know how it feels to be free. The final clue is when the person actually passes the woman without acknowledging her meaning the person commited suicide without reflecting on loved ones. Stay strong people.
What a voice!
I was 11 when I first heard this. Just thought of them all of sudden today. Still hauntingly gorgeous.
+Amanda Laggan I agree......I can't stop listening to her, and the other young lady just makes it that much better....especially on the tune "bury my lovely"
Erstmal heute für mich. Brillant 😢
@@helmutsecke3529 Listen to "Bury My Lovely". Also brilliant.

Every time i heard this song, my soul fly thousand pieces…Miss you, you kow who you r…And where you are..From the bottom of myself …MISS YOU
Great Song n Movie it played in 'Blown Away'... Gotta love the IRISH !.!.! ❤😉

SOUNDTRACK TO BLOWN AWAY.....
They opened for Sarah MacClachlan and played their entire album, and I forgot who I had come to see! I wish they had stayed together longer.
I loved this song... I listen to it always.
@Rosa León González My favorite song too! This could be my wedding song
