The waterboys music was my drinking partner for 30 odd years, been sober for nearly 44 months and music wasnt sounding the same ..until i just heard this! Thank you mike scott youve just made me a happy man.
I’ve been sober for 10 years and music is what you make of it by seeking out and finding those endless opportunities. My parents use to have that same attitude about music when I was growing up. I made a vow to myself that I would not end up like that...let me suggest you keep listening to all types of music and hopefully you find great tunes by Artists that you didn’t know existed. Happens with me every few weeks...that’s what listening parties are all about and SOBER to boot
So proud of u gave up a demon that was not good for 6 years been clean 60 days & not missing the sh*t this music is the best high ever bless u bro keep moving forward like I am will never go back got this great dude’s music to keep me satisfied!!!!!’ Take care bro!!!! 71 years young is me!!!! ❤️👍😻☮️🔥🇺🇸🙏🎶😹
Still the big music. What passion. What poetry. This is like pressing warp speed and skating away, with a huge explosion taking place behind you, your eyes upon the future.
A new Waterboys album is always great news. Mike has the talent to lead two or three different bands with different styles but all fantastic. In fact, he does, and we are the (few) lucky ones that know that all these bands are just one, The Waterboys, one of the best ever.
Every time youtube algorithm brings me back to this song I have to stop anything I might be doing and all my attention moves to this glorious song. Thanks, Mike!
Another masterpiece. Mike Scott might not appreciate being called a chameleon of versatility, but her covers all the bases with equal dexterity. This particular song falls into the driving, pulsing, pounding category that just keeps building...
My teenage years were spent listening to The Waterboys blasting from my older brothers bedroom 😊😊I absolutely love Mike Scott's voice,I used to fancy him like crazy back then. Still love him and the band.Love this new tune.Pan Within has a special place in my heart though 😊Am excited about this new album.
My feet were tapping and my head shaking...consistently high quality material from the maestro of songwriting.In a world gone mad over 35 years,i found the weary land..well done waterboys
Saw them play this last night at Wickham festival, no fiddle it did not matter with Mikes guitar and brother Paul the song flew ,Some experiences you bottle and slam in a cork so you can take a nip when you need it. Last night was one of those experiences
Just discovered this track. Absolutely stupendous. Best thing I've heard since I listened to W.A.S.P. Heavens Hung in Black. Modern classic. Keep them coming Mike....
So looking forward a the time when the 'The Amazing Waterboys' take to stage (preferably in a field of dreams) & blow me away with this....with 'The Pan within' following on.
Thank you Mike and band. Absolutely love it. Listening thinking "Will there be some Steve lead violin?" - and then it came - delightfully duelling with lead guitar 'til the end. Superb.
have you considered going on rumble you have a voice. beside you could help this weary world to the people who don't usicke your beautiful music but will love your words n sunny personality........
YES it definitely reminds me of "The Return of Jimi Hendrix", BUT this time with a wonderful Steve Wickham that makes this song even greater. I love that stuff without any doubt.
It's like he took the body from Dream Harder, the beyond-good lyrics of "An Appointment with Mr. Yeats", "The Stolen Child", and "Piper at the Gates of Dawn", mixed in a bit of "Modern Blues", took something indefinable from "Rock in a Weary Land", and got Steve Wickham back. A fucking masterpiece, that's what it is.
Can hardly sit still. Want to see them live again in Milwaukee or Madison. The Waterboys should be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, including Carl W. and Anthony T. The current Organist too. That original sax player. Some of the other guitar and mandolin players stand out. I wish I knew how to start that nomination process. These guys belong in the HOF.
Tears in my eyes and music which makes me want to leap about and dance and gets somewhere close to the rage and joy in my head that is so hard to express in these strange times... That doesn't really say what I mean well enough but hell, Scott, this is brilliant. Brilliant! All the positive comments you've had, I agree with! Thank you. And hey, when are you coming to Australia?!
Just come here after listening to the new album, this is stand out, majestic, swirling a masterpiece in dark times. My neighbours going to get annoyed today!
It was 35 years ago that "The whole of the Moon" blew me from my feet, this song has the same effect, today... Mike is ALIVE and Kicking!
Alive & Kicking like Simple Minds, great bands! Scottish power!
Awesome! Eternal sound.
Hear u; feel u. The whole of the moon cast its lunar magic on me in 1985, and ive been in orbit since. This song is not far behind😂❣️
Rens Hemelsoet - yes!! 35 years ago! wowoowowownxx
well said, amazing song
Don't call it a comeback, he never went away. An epic song. Magnificent.

“This place is Love’s fortress. And so am I.”
Großartiges Lied!
The Whole of the Moon is a song I want to learn to play the guitar just so I can play it over and over. Mike Scott is such a gifted songwriter.
What a brilliant song and what a great story. Just love it.
This brilliant man's words ever take my soul to places they need to see.
Same here!🇺🇸👍❤️🔥
A beautiful song be positive everyone ✨️ 💜
Straight to the best of The Waterboys. Classic, Vintage and Contemporary all in one, great stuff.
Have you listened to early Waterboys?
Doesn't get any better than this .
I so love the Waterboys, ever since their first LP. Mike Scott is a fuckin poet and squeezes sweet tones out of his guitar.
Sometimes, Mike Scott brings me to tears of total joy and beauty.
FACTS he is a genius we love the Waterboys
Not just you , mate!
Ojuuuu que arte más grande!!
man, you really did amazing stuff over the years. too unknown
This song is stunning. An absolute belter, an epic track from The Waterboys..
Every time youtube algorithm brings me back to this song I have to stop anything I might be doing and all my attention moves to this glorious song. Thanks, Mike!
Song of the year so far, for me. LOVE it.
Truly beautiful....my musical hero for 40 years. Magnificent❤❤. Hope the new album will be on vinyl! Glorious,simply glorious.
Absolutely F***ing awesome, what more can I say? Well done gentlemen!
Brilliant. A return to the more rocky feel of Modern Blues. Can’t wait for the rest.
What an epic song. Stunning.
The return of The Big Music? 🤔
This is excellent stuff. 👌👏
I really hope so. I love the Big Music so much!
This is so my new funeral song loving it, play it every morning LOUD❤️🤬😇

Stars, Lightning, breathless excitement, anger, joy, laughter, tears! Wondrous!
goosebumps on my skin
Wonderful, beautiful. Chills up and down my spine.
If you're going to refer to great music for you're influence, then if you're Mike Scott, you can only self-refer. Awesome!

Wonderful! "finally to emerge from the winter of my journey
into the grey light of a small damp dawn"
Holy smoke... The levee breaks. Epic song, epic band .
A bolt from the blue! Steve’s fiddle! Grand poetry! Whoooo!
the return of The Big Music...........absolutely ace
ah! The Big Music- back to remind us we've been here before. Still burning Mike!
Truly magnificent Mike..........awesome sound, the Waterboys still rock....love it,
Great new music to carry us through these strange times, uplifting, very much needed, thank you to the Waterboys.
As someone who resides 20 minutes from ground zero in Mpls, I needed this. I mean...really needed this.
Listen to line 17 then. You should need nothing..
Another brilliant creation from a brilliant band. Love it 💃🏼💃🏼🥰 Roll on the next live show. 😊
Just discovered this track. Absolutely stupendous. Best thing I've heard since I listened to W.A.S.P. Heavens Hung in Black. Modern classic. Keep them coming Mike....
Waterboys forever. Mike Scott, for ever will he live in my heart and mind. Keep on! Love you!
Únicos!!!!!
Gracias por seguir regalándonos lo mejor de vosotros
Je vous remercie de vous, Mike
Magical
I have just received the best news since three months ago, new Waterboys' album!!. It sounds great
W.T.F. 4 months since the last comment!! God help us please .This is a masterpiece if ever there was one. Fuck history This is today
So looking forward a the time when the 'The Amazing Waterboys' take to stage (preferably in a field of dreams) & blow me away with this....with 'The Pan within' following on.
That's it! Great, great, great!!!
Soul music for soulless times. Superb
I agree this sounds so much like 'The Return of Jimi Hendrix' but i'm not complaining. Great song, great guitar solo. Welcome back Mike and company.
Spot on !
So true.Is amazing how everything tunes in
I love the return of Jimi and this song is amazing!!
Oh God, my darling Peter Gorman, how you would have loved this. Absolutely amazing
Thank you Mike and band. Absolutely love it. Listening thinking "Will there be some Steve lead violin?" - and then it came - delightfully duelling with lead guitar 'til the end. Superb.
Me, too, me, too. Just as I was pondering “where is the fellow who fiddles?”
There he was!
Yes, all the way through I’m thinking “God, I hope this has the instrumental section it deserves”. And it does.
This is, a good example of what we call a "kioskvältare" (Kiosk tipper)
prescient poetry and always sounds that re great medicine for the ears.
Brilliant rock ballad
What. A. Corker. Astonishing. Thank you Mike.
god blessings Mike Scott x
Wonderful - comforting and reassuring in these sci fi days.. like welcoming back an old friend
have you considered going on rumble you have a voice. beside you could help this weary world to the people who don't usicke your beautiful music but will love your words n sunny personality........
what.a.tune
Sigue siendo muy grande Mr. Scott, toda la vida acompañándonos su música, y en estos tiempos convulsos, nos regala esto. Gracias.
YES it definitely reminds me of "The Return of Jimi Hendrix", BUT this time with a wonderful Steve Wickham that makes this song even greater. I love that stuff without any doubt.
A complete surprise wich struck like lightning, great stuff... Also the artwork for the new album, forever traveling seeker!!!
My Love is my Rock!
WOW! Just WOW! Lots of love from Cordoba, Argentina!
Goosebumps :) ...and the road goes ever on....
Brilliant eerie song . Love it !!
Yeah!!!! Rock on Mike and the waterboys!!!!!!!!!
And thanks, Mike, for sending this out on Vesak Day, the anniversary of the Buddha's enlightenment. Well timed!
Absolute awesomeness ❤️🌹🎶🎶🎶
It meminds me of "The return of Jimmy Hendrix" from "Dream Harder"
Il does sound like the dream harder album indeed....
It's like he took the body from Dream Harder, the beyond-good lyrics of "An Appointment with Mr. Yeats", "The Stolen Child", and "Piper at the Gates of Dawn", mixed in a bit of "Modern Blues", took something indefinable from "Rock in a Weary Land", and got Steve Wickham back.
A fucking masterpiece, that's what it is.
My thoughts exactly.
The guitar also reminds me of the live version of The Pan Within off Karma to Burn. Glorious.
sure it's just the same riff
Can hardly sit still. Want to see them live again in Milwaukee or Madison. The

Yeah I'd like to see them again too.and their catalogue is so strong they should be playing for two or three nights in a row ha ha.

wow, amazing song, so powerful ... thanks for your music Mike

Awesome Mike, it's been a long time since I cranked up the volume.
Reminds me of early Waterboys. Brilliant track.
Early WBs....hmmmm, not sure I agree but that’s cool
J'adore!!! 👏👏Pressée d'entendre l'album en entier..
Have The Waterboys ever produced a bad song? Let me answer that for you. No. Nope. Never! Can’t wait to hear this live!!
