    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!

    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.

    • @Oh_I_Will
      @Oh_I_Will 4 года назад +8

      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

    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.

      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.
