Normal speed, slowed down, money tune either way. Over 20 years ago I emailed Great Big Sea, and Allan replied to a request I made. I asked if I could use a portion of the lyrics of this song, on my wife's monument. Allan replied that they would be honoured. Hence, "Let yourself go with the tide, there's an angel by your side. As you throw your fear, in the Sea of No Cares". I am eternally grateful guys. Thank-you. RIP Teri Wells (1974 - 2002).
This song was the bride and grooms first dance at my daughters wedding. She grew up listening to GBS,fell in love with an amazing man who instantly became a fan.
GREAT BIG SEA are INCREDIBLE Live and the audience feeds off their Energy... Miss seeing them Live, but CBC has Wonderful videos of their Concerts here, on RUclips! Check Out their Concert footage... They're AWESOME!!! ❤
This is such a different song than the album version....I listen to the album practically 24/7 but this album nearly made me cry at first...Beautiful pacing at the beginning.....I love it
Have lived with & with no cares & had some good & not so good life experiences ;*) but these past few years I've been 'existing ' in fear ' way too long.. - am cynically stoned lol & reminiscing with mixed emotions, hoping to meet a new partner along my new upcoming adventures:*)
AHHHHH FINALLY!!!! THANKS FOR POSTING THIS!!! oxoxo i saw this on CMT years ago and haven't been able to find it!!! this is the greatest version of any song EVER!!!!
girls i know when i sing this it sounds funny try this for this verse When you decide that what counts is inside Your friends all say it's a lie But there's no brighter light than the look in my eyes When he's walking me home through the night
This is 2024 and I still never tire of this song. Good job lads.

Oh my. That is both beautiful and heart wrenching. My condolences. And to their credit, amazing to let you honour your wife. Stand up guys.
Cheers, sir.
Alan is a good lad.
He generously made a personal video message to a friend of mine who was dying.
Very gracious and real.

A great band that more of the world should get to know, love & admire.
GBS was the soundtrack of my teenage years. Can I rewind the past 16 years?
this version just grows and grows on you..
Young Jarsh then America would claim them

THIS SONG SAVED MY LIFE I WAS INSECURE THEN I REPEATED THESE WORDS IN MY HEAD AND MY INSECURITIES WENT AWAY
i love this song and especially this slower version of it. when i got the cd i listened to this over and over again.
I just love Alan's voice....
gbs rocks, would be one of the very few few bands I'd like to see in person
Believing in love is a decision. Kudos to everyone brave enough to go for it.

My absolute fav song of theirs. Classic!
best version of this song EVER!!!
God I just love Alan wow
Same...I am a huge fan of him
I think it's perfect!
immediately have a good mood after listening to any GBS song, this is a fact
The song has a root meaning and story behind it, but there is interpretation for anyone to take what they want from it or just enjoy.
LOVE IT!
If you went through the effort to find GBS, why on earth would you dislike them?
oh my! that guitar :(
Why isn’t this talked about more
know what you mean: "walk on the moon" did that for me.
great stuff ... go on, you guys are great :D
Who is the pertty woman in the video singing along to the song?.....something about her she is cute!
❤

When you decide that what counts is inside
Your friends all say it's a lie
But there's no brighter light than the look in my eyes
When he's walking me home through the night
i
Anyone else prefer their studio version of this song?
you posted this one year ago and in all that time this video has only gotten 1 dislike that's pretty amazing
@Chaid512
actually, there's a few GBS songs on youtube that have a few dislikes to them
Nova Scotia
A great irish band
Uh fucking believable 🔥
I wonder if that's true.
love this song, but far too mellow for its intended lyrics
I think GBS fans would yell and scream if all the band did was tune up.
i can only hear them when i drink screech.lowell coliseum.not really awesome band.
Slow and boring version 😕
boring!
+Cyril Maher yes you are. What are you going to do about that?
❤️
