Oh god, this is beautiful. I've loved this song since its original release; more relevant with every passing year than it was 30-odd years ago, and still absolutely perfect. Tremendous.
That is just plain beautiful I've been saying for months now that nothing ever happens and I came across this song and I could cry it is so perfect for what's happening today you are a beautiful human being and I'll leave it at that
Gorgeous. Great to hear Del Amitri are getting so much exposure after twenty years of relative quiet (save the recent tours). Here’s to more! Congratulations everyone 😊🎵🎶❤️
I've been a singer, pianist and musician for 27 years. Seeing stuff like this makes me feel so happy that I have music as an outlet. It's such a gift to humanity!
I just searched for this song again after it made such an impression on me when it was originally released. It's so amazing there this new fresh performance from a few days ago. Great song, it's a piece of art, they could hang it in a gallery to survive constant action replay. A thousand years from now people will play this song.
It doesn’t get any better! A great song, singing and orchestration that lifts and swoops and adds so much without distracting or overpowering the core essence. I can only imagine how technically complex this was to put together. And the lyrics are as beautiful, observant and relevant as they ever were. Maybe “nothing ever happens” but let’s at least appreciate the beauty that can happen with collaboration, skill, talent, practise and just a desire to make something wonderful!
How did I miss this ??!! My favourite song and with the orchestra ?? - JUST WOW !!!! I've goosebumps on top of my goosebumps - just absolutely amazing - THANKYOU TO ALL INVOLVED !!!! .xx.
Unbelievable. I’m relearning this song after many, many years for some one to one music sessions with a young man with several complex needs. This has blown me away, and reduced this 51 y/o male to a blubbing wreck, bravo to all involved, but mostly to Justin Currie.
What a beautiful arrangement. I'd never fully listened to all the lyrics until now so "thank you" for increasing my appreciation of an already amazing song.
A lyrical masterpiece. You create images in your mind to a good song such as this......I have pictures of each description as he sings, simply brilliant
Listened to Ken Bruce's radio prog' and heard this version. I used to listen to the original of this on the train to work (some of which involved telephone exchanges). Lovely to hear this arrangement - well done to all involved ; - )
If I have one enduring memory of the shit year that was 2020 and have to look back on it, this will be my go to, and I will remember this song, and this video, and just how much it meant to me at the time. And it will be pertinent.
Only just seen this, made me well up. Thank you to all involved - just beautiful. Love the new vocal melody in some parts, and just amazing to hear the orchestra alongside
This is just so completely awesome and is as relevant in 2024 as it’s ever been!
Absolutely beautiful. Del Amitri never ever disappoint, so glad they're back. Stunning, nothing more to add.

Listened it 10x in a row.. Unbelievably beautiful 😍
Awesome. Well summarised.

Take a great old song, add a little maturity and mix in a blinding orchestra and what do you have? MAGIC!
Waking Hours is one of the best records of all time
I'd claim it's some other suckers parade but my personal history is deeply intertwined with that record.
@@quantumastrologer5599 great record too
@@quantumastrologer5599 I see what you did there and I love it. Same goes for me by the way. Discovered them in '94.
Absolutely wonderful to hear this again. The arrangement is beautiful.
Thanks for that - such a great song to orchestrate!
@@MorganPochin can you buy it anywhere? It would be great for a school band!
@@dyoung5009 Don't think you can I'm afraid. Such a great song, it was such a joy to work on.
OMG how wonderful to hear one of my favourite bands from the 90s again! What a lovely version of this great song🤩
This song reminds me of my late sister, she loved it, so this beautiful version brought me to tears, lovely to watch talented musicians too.
STUNNING . Pure talent all round . Real music. Real musicians

Man that was beautiful, such a fitting song and an absolute classic
Wonderful arrangement of a great song which, despite the eighties references, still holds true and relevant today.
Gorgeous. Been 25 years since I've seen them. Hope they come around my way soon.
Stunning, stunning. Made me cry! Justin's voice is just divine! Great works guys! xx

How does his voice still sound so good, 30 years later..

Sensational and everlasting tune.
Fantastic! Right up there with ‘Imagine’ and ‘Yesterday’ yet sadly not hailed in the same way.
Has to be up there with the best lyric of all time. Brilliant. Can't think of a song more worthy of the orchestral treatment.
A timeless classic.
Who would have thought you can make one of the best songs ever even better?
WOW MUCH ❤️❤️❤️FOR THIS EPIC MASTERPIECE
