Happy Birthday, Mike Oldfield! You are our Joy in 2024!❤
I am 22 years old and I am French. When I was little, this music was frequently broadcast on our radio specializing in "classic songs" from the 60s, 70s and 80s.
For a long time I searched desperately for this song and finally I was able to get my hands on it.
Ca fait partie des pépites de cette époque ! 🤩 Elle me donne des frissons...
This song is amongst the jewels from this era! It gives me goose bumps...
Я русский и первый раз услышсл эту песнювисполнении немецкой группы "Blind Guardian" в 90-х годах. Великолепная песня!
Head this song for the first time three years ago when I was driving a rental car through Mallorca. Ever since, I've been trying to find the song. I will be driving through France this summer and told myself it would be great if I could listen this song in the car. Today, in a lawn mower dealer this song was playing. I quickly opened Shazam and finally I am listening this song again! I guess I can be thankful for having this technology in my pocket.
@@diavalus If you haven't heard it I would also recommend Moonlight Shadow also by Mike Oldfield and Maggie Reilly.
@@poleaxed6447 I am listening now, thank you for the recommendation. Went straight to my playlist. Have a wonderful day!
Maggie Reilly is just singing this song.
She seems totally unaware of the fact that her voice is something else. 😍
once in a lifetime = casual singing 🤣
Happy 70th Birthday Mike Oldfield. Born May 15th 1953
Mike Oldfield is one of the best musicians known to man. Maggie Rielly is brilliant singer. They make a brilliant team. Love it!

Well Said, "Kassandra"! :) Indeed! :)
I totally agree :-)
Maggie Reilly has a voice made in heaven
She always gives me the goose bumbs ❤
Totally agree with you!!!! She has a celestial voice!!!!!!!
She was brilliant!!!!!
she reminds me very much of the singer from Steeleye Span
@@joannagodfrey5111 You are talking about Maddy Prior......And did you know that Maddy Prior did vocals on Mike Oldfield's album Incantations.
My wife of 45 years played this at her funeral she suffered from MND and knew she never get to her favourite place FRANCE again.
she is at place as beautiful as France is, RIP.
So sorry for your loss
@@DerpGnome Thanks for your kind words
sorry mate,my mum died early as well she liked them too,a big hug
@@jesusrodriguez171 Thanks !
I've rediscovered this song and it feels like a memory from a different life. Priceless feeling!
keep discovering the music of mike oldfield. sometimes it makes you happy, really
Heard the Discovery-tour live in 1984 with this line-up. No to forget Simon Philipps on drums ... fantastic! 👏♥️
Just class❤
I was in a depression from 2010-2020 and this was one of the songs that helped me, I cry and I am happy for having overcome that stage
I'm glad you overcome depression, or "black dog". Unfortunately, that black dog "bites" me over seven years or so..
Надо быть сильнее депрессии которую вам ниспослал как испытание сам Шайтан
Callme I lived in Cardiff for 6 years and I watched Maggie and Mike many times
Fuckin aye, aeloth. I see you.
@@thatdudephoenix1735 I've dealt with depression too! Hope you get your way out of it!!
This is probably one of the most underrated Mike Oldfield bangers of all and it deserves all the praise it gets here ... but I don't understand how there are NO comments talking about that goddamn bass player! The guy moves like a marvel of animatronics and I love it!
I was at a live modern version of Tubular Bells live a few days ago. I loved the concert but this song was in no way as wonderful as Maggie's version!
Bass player performed by Gerry Anderson?
Philip Spalding actually :)
Много лет назад, мне позвонил мой дядя из Москвы, и напел мне мотив этой песни, с вопросом о название.Мой дядя Дима, замечательный, добрый человек, врач высшей категории, который помог очень много людям ушел в 2010.Каждый раз, когда слушаю эту песню, думаю о нём.Дима, я не успела перед тобой извиниться!прости меня за моё глупое детское поведение, пожалуйста!Я тебя очень люблю и очень по тебе скучаю 🙏💔💔💔
Людина розуміе це, коли вже нічого не поробиш, так завжди.
дядя Дима из Москвы зайдёт почитать комменты на ютубе и обязательно наткнётся на это сообщение и сразу поймёт, что речь именно о нём, ведь именно он будучи врачом ушёл в 2010
@@Vosv66Да, к сожалению!
You can forgive yourself also. God bless you
Listened to this in 1984 driving with Dad in his new car from Denmark to Hoek v Holland and then through England all the way to Scotland. Drinking Scotch with Scots in Inverness going to Loch Ness to get a glimpse of Nessie but instead saw a Piper in full outfit pacing the stonewall playing. Then south to Exeter and back home. Always comes to me when listening to this what a great voyage it was. RIP Dad.
Honestly do not understand 1450 people that disliked this.... What music they understand.... This is SUPERB
Peraps, sure even, 1450 roastbeefs... 😏
Billie Eilish fans for sure. 😂
The sound quality is lacking.
I wouldn't dislike it for sure, but it's really hard to watch REAL musicians and a singer forced into stupid playback/lip sync environment. Something that 80's admirers always forget to admit how cringey these music videos were.
Back to your question, maybe a few hundred of those who don't like the fake performance.
They don’t know anything about superb music
one of the best things about 50 years old,is the fact that i lived my teenage years in the 80's that is priceless and i am grateful !!!
arsenio lupin Legend!
The real legend will Always be this song
Absolutely, June 2020
I just discovered this i!
i listen to the music like this .
Beautiful and timeless. Let's not kid ourselves, music like this isn't made anymore.
A Masterpiece!!! Beautyful voice!!! Michael Matthias Frohn Mühlstroh und Jesus Christus!!! 😂❤❤❤!!! Overwehlming!!!
That bass player loves it. He's miming like his life depends on it:)
Absolutely feelin himself hey, love it :D
and Pierre on drums is like, this is way below my pay grade :)

I was so lucky to have been born in 1970.
I grew up listening to Mike Oldfield, Jean Michelle Jarre, ELO and plenty of other amazing musicians.
Jean Michel....not michelle
@@georgesmekki-kaddache6730 It's the 2020's. Could be just a stupid auto-correct. :)
Oxygen was a good album,
I could totally see select tracks being used in one of the Star Wars franchises.
@@amp279 fantastic album!
Something suggests you've read good books too
The most beautiful and sublime tribute to Mary, Queen of Scots and her tragic story that can only be understood through poetry ❤
This is timeless....
This song is beyond earthly music, it is a fairytale, heart-shaped magic! ...
Thank you Mike and Maggie for bringing healing magic into this world.... It needs it!!
Music that makes us reflect and encourages dreaming is precious!
Jag var visste inte (tills för en vecka sedan) att hon gjorde originalversionen av "Everytime we touch". :D Mycket vacker melodi!
He and Abba made my youth
That's a great way to describe this beautiful song it never ages love it so much there's not many songs that match it xx
@@helenimurrell9379 Thank you and I agree! Take care!!
I am turning 18 this year and i can‘t describe how much Serotonin this song gives me. I just love it so so much!
same metal does to me. check band "Sirenia"
I am 50 years old and personally this is still one of the best songs of the 80's!! 🎶 🎵 🎼 🎤
Good ...! 👍
I'm 51 this month. I'm fortunate enough to remember the LP on the record player. What an era.
70's and 80's music is magic
Mike Oldfield's a rare musical genius.
Ваш голос ,это голос ангела из детства, из радио приемника....воистинну музыка международна, которая написана из сердца от души понятна всем без знания языка, музыка это Божий Дар! Да пребудет на Земле красивая музыка и мир во всем мире,Аминь!
Bless you, Natalia!
Es musica hermosa.Te transporta a otro mundo😊
Yo la escuché hace años , pero en esos tiempos no tenia cómo saber su nombre para buscarla o preguntar por ella...es música como de hadas en
Bosques de luz y de gotas de rocío
this and moonlight shadow are my favourites
Mike oldfield the only man who can play an electric guitar and make it sound accoustic
David Gilmour...
Wich track?
Maggie reilly's singing has truly always been trancendental. A beautiful thing to move between dimensions.
Masterpiece....
Da bin ich wieder Teenie ♥️☺️🥰👍.... Einfach nur ein wunderschöner Song mit der unvergleichlichen tollen Stimme von Maggie Reilly ❣️🤗
❤ zum Dahinschmelzen ❤
Yesterday, I saw Maggie Reilly performing the song live on stage...she still brings that magic to the audience...! ❤
A beautiful song by Mike - and rendered perfectly by Maggie's amazing voice - about the doomed escape attempts of Mary Queen of Scots as she tried to get to France.
I read about her life years ago...here's a strange story. I was visiting the ruins of a house where she was kept under house arrest for a while; my mum got quite upset, and she said that the rooms were 'too small' and she felt claustrophobic.
Before we left I bought a guide book...it told that Mary had actually complained about how tiny the rooms of her 'prison' were. Still gives me the willies.
No, its about searching like a fool prince or princess in relationships.
Песня To France - это песня Мэгги Райлли
Yep...she had been married as a teen to François II (I think), a French King of ours, pretty sweet...but the boy died of an awful ear abcess.
She was then brought back to England where her cousin, Elizabeth, feared that Mary's links to France - where she was super popular - could threaten her Kingdom.
The worst is that she actually must have prayed the Lord she could get back to beautiful France...
The final break, as Maggie Reily just sings "Never going to...." (without the final words) stands for her inner toughts, cut by the axe falling on her neck as she was behaded (in the most botched possible way).
This song is a jewel. A painting, a movie, a novel...a jewel
When music and vocals mattered more than looks. Good times
Simply wonderful. Mike Oldfield, Maggie Reilly and the whole band 🥰
I love Mike Oldfield but i really think that Maggie Reilly should be mentioned in the title as well - she is something else.
she got cheated by Mike.
He owned her money.
For real? i had no idea
Ran Magal yeah remember it on a interview she onces made lang time ago
Tbonyandsteak OMG... the two best known songs of Mike Oldfield are the ones sung by Maggie Reilly.
Don´t get confused: The two most famous songs by which Maggie Reilly is known are those composed by Oldfield.
i was 12 years old in 84, and i still feel chill and cold waves go through from my body, this is so lovely track i still love that one like 30 years ago
dito ... 1972 here.
believe me.... i am searching for this 30 years ! !! ! at last i found it again couple of minutes back ,My body is shivering(I am from India).
I am a part time musician too.I have a lot of sentiments & nostalgia with this song. Thank you internet .
Thank god.
I born in 87... But I have cold wawes on my skin every time I listen this music. Brilliant. Best ages till 20s.
1972 too, I heard the song around the same time. taken by the magic of it since then...
I was 19
2024. This is a really good song.
It's divine ❤
Ни слова не понимаю,но какое наслаждение слушать её исполнение. ❤
Согласна
Почти 40 лет слушаю эту Вещь с великим трепетом❤, голос ангельский
I would rather prefer to go back to that time and live there compared to this awful times that we live in now.
No one is able to create music like this today..
The bass guitarist on the left is having the time of his life playing this song!
Musik wie aus einer anderen Welt - kein Rumgehampel, keine Riesenshow, einfach volle Konzentration auf die Musik. Ich liebe diese ehrliche Art der Darbietung und Umsetzung. Man merkt der wunderbaren Maggie Reilly an, wie sehr sie sich bemüht: das Ergebnis ist ein zeitloser, gefühlvermittelnder, grandioser Song.
Les années 80 que du bon et du vrai.vraiment les meilleurs années.
The first time i've heard that song , was in the 1980's in a supermarket ...In France ... : )
Can't forget a song like that ..
Nice
Mike Oldfield est un génie.
Il le démontre depuis plus de 40 ans au fil de ses productions.
HELLER DORIS MIKA OIDFIEID II IE ICH HAB DICH LIEB MIKA
C'est vrai! J'ai quand même eu du mal avec tubular bells
Está canción me recuerda a viejos tiempos. Amigos que ya no están. Un abrazo desde España para vosotros.
I can't begin to describe how soaked in Nostalgia this track is. For me.
The best guitarist that you don't necessarily think of as a guitarist. He's unique.
Blind Guardian did a superb job in covering this beatiful song! Cheers to all bards around here
Finally found it. Grew up listening to this but couldn't remember where I'd heard it. My Dad was a huge fan of Mike Oldfield and had Tubular Bells. I remember the music but that album cover had a huge effect on me as a kid.
Thanks Dad for exposing me to such incredible music.
Mike Oldfield ha entendido como pocos, que la voz es un maravilloso instrumento, y ha dado lugar en sus hermosas melodías, a voces mágicas como la de Maggie Reilly, Pepsy Demaque, Barry Palmer, Anita Heguerland, Jon Anderson y tantos otros talentos. Gracias Mike por tu magia y tu capacidad de elevar el espíritu con tus canciones
Y tambien Rosa Cedrón...una cantante "celtica" que aparece en el album Tubular Bell 3
heard this on the radio today for the first time and had to look it up. what a magical voice. such a beautiful song!
You´re welcome, young innocent kid! :-/
On the radio? The world is not lost yet!
Igual yo hoy la escuche y di con el titulo..maravillosa cancion..la habia escuchado en las micros ,en avion ,en auto ,en la calle ,en submarino ,en halicoptero de guerra ,en nave espacial.,en el halcon milenario, en el albatros del baron rojo.,en un tanque , etc...
Woe that be brilliant if only Radio had brains and research and find re define,rare gems of any genre Songs like this and plenty of more around the world and in history, books,charts etc and play this instead of the same boring jubebox stuff in their short playlists
Same here , it was on bbc radio 2 , I recognised it as a remix of this used to play at a local rave I used to go to lol heard this and actually love this more , can’t find the rave version tho lol
WHAT I FINALLY FOUND THIS SONG OMG I WAS SEARCHING FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS CAUSE I KNEW JUST MELODY OMG
This is so cute. Glad you finally found it
Mission accomplished! Well done 👍
thanks guys... damn i remember myself crying waterfalls🥺
Im 29, relatively young as far as music is concerned, but my mum and dad brought me up on Mike Oldfield, Queen and Genesis and I cannot wait to introduce it to my child to show her that 'if you like it then you shudda put a ring on it' isnt the only thing the human race was doing before she arrived...
I BOUGHT THE LP IN 1984 AND IM STILL LISTENING....THE VOICE OF MAGGIE AND THE SOUND OF GUITAR BY MIKE ARE STUNNING
Про Мэгги сказали всё.Добавить больше нечего. просто высший пилотаж!!!!!!!!!!
Волшебное струящийся голос,близкая к душе и природе музыка.Блестящее исполнение,спасибо!!!(
One of the most beautiful songs of those years and enjoyable even today, a pop song with a credible folk dress to take us back to the days of Mary Stuart, wonderful
👍🎸♥️🇫🇷
I'm in love with this song.
Mike and Maggie collaborations were fantastic!
E' bellissima questa TO FRANCE !!!! OLDFIELD sempre grande !!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
Marin
SA Rice vuoi dire che sei d'accordo con me ?
Oltre alla canzone che è bellissima,aggiungerei anche la voce possente di Maggie Really.
Penso che Maggie Reilly sia una delle voci femminili più sottovalutate di sempre (questa,Foreign Affair,Moonlight Shadow ecc.".Mi dispiace perchè Oldfield è un grande,ma senza di lei non credo avrebbe raggiunto quel grande successo.Nonostante ciò Reilly non se la caga nessuno oggi.
Mike Oldfield ha visto giusto reclutando 2 tra le voci "outsiders" del panorama Folk-Prog britannico o underrated se vogliamo, Crises è un album del 1983 con alcune sonorità che strizzano l'occhio al decennio precedente,non per niente proprio in quei primi anni '80 si formavano supergruppi come gli Asia,4 elementi dai nomi "altisonanti" nel panorama Prog Rock;il ritorno degli Yes con l'album di successo(grazie anche ad un "certo" Trevor Horn) dal titolo a "5 cifre" che ora non mi sovviene(Leave it è un esplicito omaggio ai '70)o gruppi devoti come i Marillion(la voce di Fish con quella di Peter Gabriel è davvero impressionante).
Ah...l'altra delle 2 voci a cui mi riferivo,oltre alla Really,è di Barry Palmer. Alla prossima.
Maggie's vocal stands far apart from anythin' we hear today from the air. Truly regret this angels' voice has been nearly forgotten for now...
Desperately sad song....Mary Queen of Scots, RIP.
One of the best songs of all time! 👍
And sung SO beautifully
@@dlamiss Yes, the voice is amazing
One of the most beautiful songs in the world...
My kingdom for singers without autotune!
Takes me back to my childhood and learning about Mary Queen of Scots for history. This song just brought it to life for me.
Mary Stuart!..dead but never forgotten!❤❤😢😢😢
Taking on water, sailing a restless sea
From a memory, a fantasy
The wind carries into white water
Far from the islands don't you know you're
Never going to get to France
Mary Queen of chance, will they find you?
Never going to get to France
Could a new romance ever bind you?
Walking on foreign ground, like a shadow
Roaming in far off territory
Over your shoulder stories unfold
You're searching for sanctuary, you know you're
Never going to get to France
Mary Queen of chance, will they find you?
Never going to get to France
Could a new romance ever bind you?
I see a picture
By the lamp's flicker
Isn't it strange how
Dreams fade and shimmer?
Never going to get to France
Mary Queen of chance, will they find you?
Never going to get to France
Could a new romance ever bind you?
I see a picture
By the lamp's flicker
Isn't it strange how
Dreams fade and shimmer?
Never going to get to France
Mary Queen of chance, will they find you?
Never going to get to France
Could a new romance ever bind you?
Never going to get to France
Never going to
Never going to get to France
Never going to
Never going to get to France
Never going to
Hvala, Sasa!
Highest poetry met miraculous music synthesis of Mike Oldfield. When musician touches god. Thank you by heart, deep heart.
Браво!
+100 in Karma !!!!👍🤝
Thannnkkkssss
Mike Oldfield - like a genius, Maggie Reilly - like a great voice, To France - like a great music! Back to the 80´s forever!!!
this song reminds me of a very specific moment in my life. I was a kid playing with my little cousins during summer vacations in Normandy. And this song was on the radio. I don't know why, but that, day, this afternoon, this moment and this song got printed in my memory. Everytime I hear it, I am back to this very day and very sweet memory
Brilliant
Prenant la mer , naviguant sur une mer dechainée
D'un souvenir , une fantaisie
Que le vent emporte dans l'écume
Loin des iles
Ne sais-tu donc pas que tu n'arriveras jamais en France ?
Mary Reine de la Chance , te retrouveront-ils ?
N'arrivera jamais en France ?
Une nouvelle romance te tiendrait-elle donc ?
Marchant sur une terre étrangère comme une ombre
Errant en territoire lointain
Sur ton épaule des histoires se déroulent
Tu es à la recherche d'un sanctuaire .
Magnifique chanson ❤
Голос ангела!Прекрасное исполнение!

So I’ve just discovered this song on my Spotify and there’s something so amazing, so adventurous and alluring about the vocals. I love it.

Это прекрасная песня Мэгги Райлли. Также это песня Майка Олдфилда 🤠
Mike was and still is a part of my life, My childhood was coloured by him
So it was mine❤️
This song gives me the craving to get to france while i'm already French.
OMG LOL
No kidding- lucky you

@@fbenbow2197 hahaha
I thought it was about getting to France, but didnt realize the lyrics were saying "NEVER going to get to France"... its sad.

The playback on the TV shows in the eighties, with unplugged guitars, electric guitars sounding like acoustic and the art of miming is just hillarious! Great artists thou!
could be the most beautiful song ever made, Maggie`s singing voice is so damn perfect
no could be jani...most certainly is!
Indeed. What melody!
thats how i see it too
I agree, such a beautiful melodic song
Turrican fan? 😊
Voice of an angel
Cado Belle were a fantastic live band who deserved to be way more famous than they were. Maggie's vocals were outstanding on their only album
Какое прекрасное сочетание голоса и таланта композитора...

Amazing voice Maggie Reilly . Incredible guitar play by Mike Oldfield and Phil Spalding.
They come back to me memories of childhood. PODZIĘKOWANIA Z POLSKI
Is Spalding the gay looking one ? 🤔🙂
Man this is music! I grew up listening to this song in a room full a records and a piano . Our favorite songs are refuges we run to when we can´t take it anymore. This song was one of my refuges, thank you Mike and Maggie!!!
Yes a Brilliant song was and is one of my favourites too. Oh I love the lead guitar solo, and Maggies vocals just Gorgeous!!!
All the very best to you.
And world peace.

Lovely country, many memories from my youth.
It's good that you enjoy the 80's music, but please stop telling us that you're in your 20's and that you're listening to it. We get it, you want to tell us that you have better tastes than other people from your generation but the shitty era of today is what it is, it's not going to change a thing. So just listen to all these gems while waiting for the end of times like the rest of us, they're not coming back, hence the nostalgia even for peeps who weren't there back then. Cheers guys.
Oh my goodness, I've been looking for this song from a looong time ago, not knowing words or the title. I'm so happy to find it!!!
now, you can enjoy it. here is a kiss for you
@@gitarist25 concordamus
I love Mike, always have, but I have to comment how amazing her voice is here. Just sublime.
Is it nostalgia or was the music of the 80’s fantastic
Mike,- you have always caressed my dancing heart. U feel me with youre beautiful music. Thank you. With love Anita.
So many memories, I was only 11 back in 1984 when this title came out but this played a lot on the radio.....magical 1980s.
Cette chanson est indémodable. Je peux l'écouter en boucle.
Wunderbares Lied, wundervolle Stimme ❤
This music is very romantic and escapist...it reflects a time when life in the UK was pretty oppressive and fraught with conflict, a lot of people sought refuge in music, literature and art.
Exactly !
This song refers to the story of Marie Stuart.
Her mother, Marie de Guise (a french lady), regent of the Scotland after the death of her husband, the King of Scotland, sent her very young daughter Marie Stuart to the "cour de France" to save her from the King of England who was seeking for Marie Stuart to kidnap her, and force her to marry and so to take control of Scotland.
So, the very young Marie Stuart got protection at the "cour de France"
She lived a real dream story of a "little princess", carefully educated as a real future Queen... before she got back to Scotland years after.
...for the rest go to Wikipedia to Marie Stuart.
So "get to France" can also be a metaphor meaning "happiness"
Thank you. I got to France in both senses.
Thx for this
good story, have a balloon
Ah, les histoires de Famille ! Mais tu résume bien mais Mike !!!
Thank you
This lovely song still sounds timeless.
Love her voice❤
my mother listened to this song every day, i will love her forever and many thanks to oldfield for creating this wonderful song
The greatest decade of all time never to forget miss it so much and dearly oh hail the 80s.What a combination Mike and Maggie had Moonlight Shadow,5 Miles Out and this To France so soothing,relaxing surpremely done crafted Song genius. To France not far from u guys the Brits have great neighbours lucky it says in the Song wish we had cool neighbours like u guys
Mike Oldfield can play around 50 musical instruments. A true musical genious. In many of his recordings, his drummer was Phil Collins!
Back when the music was more important than looks! Man I miss this era.
Jetzt bin ich 50 geworden und immer noch Gefühl wie damals. WOW was für Glück das zu hören und Fühlen
perfektná skladba a krásny ženský hlas . Pozdravujeme zo Slovenska.

And sings with an indubitabile British accent, something lost today.
