The first time that I heard this song was during the pandemic it got me through the dark times when all hope was lost thank you Mike Lindup for bringing such a wonderful masterpiece with so much emotion things are much better we survived it's time to let go of the past prepare for a future brighter than ever
@@OneHope4Heaven I wouldn't say that, Jan Hammer is an iconic keyboarder and songwriter. I'd say that they are both equally good in what they did respectively still do. You are right Mike Lindup is an incredible artist. Not only his fantastic keyboard-play but also his beautiful voice. I'd never forget the early Level 42 records. For me one of the best music ever made - and Mike Lindup was probably 1/2 of Level 42 whereas the other 1/2 was Mark King and the other great musicians. Just MHO.
@@chuerigu Mike is one of my favorites with Tony Banks , i think that both of them have things in common, mainly the climates they create with chord changes and synth sounds chosen.
I love you Mike Lindup since Level 42, I love your falsetto, when I play "Children say" I love your part of this song, I hear it over and over again. Keep on singing. ❤Greetings from Chile ❤🤗🤗
Loved solo album changes. Cant wait for changes 2. Also mark king,s solo album' influences'. Being a drummer level 42 was my biggest energy and inspiration as a musician. Original band set up with phil on drums is timeless.
This is amazing! I have been a level 42 fan, Mark King fan ,Gray Husband fan , now I am the biggest fan of Mike Lindup! I just purchased everything I could find online. THANK YOU Mike Lindup, Level 42 is the soundtrack of my life. Peace from Detroit MI.
Love this track. The music is wonderful. The lyrics are so appropriate for what many of us are dealing with. Cannot wait to hear the whole album. Mike ... Respect since seeing you and Level 42 on April 24 & 25, 1986 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Blessings Dr. Vibe! Couldn't agree more! You should feature this tune on Your show :)! Saw Level 42 in 1987 in Saskatoon & been a fan since their 1st album.
This song always relaxes me. I needed to hear this on a Friday evening after a grueling work week. Please don't ever stop making music. I've been a huge fan since my teens.
Incredibly talented musician. I grew up listening to level 42 and it's currently part of my life soundtrack, and thanks to my beloved Dad that has an exquisite music taste. ( being a drummer.itself )Amazing song, what a talent, Mike. Love from Spain.
Beautiful lyrics and amazing electric keyboard and guitar! I can't stop playing it and the instrumental!! Such a Level 42 sound to it you can hear his massive impute into their sound! A brilliant musician!
@@MikeLindup42 So absolutely welcome Mike you are a musical genius! I've always loved your voice and with keyboard synth you are a maestro! Cannot wait for the album! Any ideas when that may be? Hope the concerts are going well for you! I saw you all at Southend this year, brilliant as ever!! Best regards to you and the lads. Keep on funking I've got my 28 year old son into you now, it's great when the younger generation are engaged with the amazing sounds you produce! Roll on the album! 🥰 Janet
These lyrics mad me weep; Time to let go We don't need it all We already bring so much inside of us Time to let go We don't need it all The world already has so much to offer us God already gave us so much - our talents, the love inside us, the people we treasure, our pets, the beauty of nature & wildlife, music, laughter, our senses, .... our very souls ... but we try to fill our void with material goods or such things of the devil's deceit... We're consumed with distractions (technology, tv, media, the news & all the rest) instead of looking at what's right under our noses, & engaging with PEOPLE ... Beautiful tune, Mike ~ You hit the mark lyrically AND Musically ... The sound of the grinding gears of our fast-paced world chugging against the backdrop of a relaxed ice skater gliding by with "legato strides" ... You ALWAYS have had a way with translating those subcutaneous & visceral emotions (kept bottled up inside) through your synths! - "It's Over" comes to mind ~) ... I wish this tune could get ample air play - please consider having your agent contact KTWV in Los Angeles - a Jazz/Fusion-oriented FM radio station (where I subsequently once worked). They just might consider it! ❤Blessings❤, Mike. Really love this tune (as well as many others on the Changes album & Conversations with Silence. My Dad would have liked that too - he was a Jazz Pianist & Professor of Music who taught music composition, orchestration, & theory... some of the chords you play sound somewhat like his!)
Such a wonderful tune.. U can feel yourself really getting into the words and melody and flying away to a peaceful relaxing place with nature all around... And the guitar.. Just wow.. 👌.. Timeless tune 🎶
I believe when you stand close to nature, the music will almost write by itself. I think this beautiful creation is one of those examples where it guides you in reaching your goal. I simply love it! Can't wait to hear the new album.
Forgot to say, what a lovely video too, pointing out that when we need to get away from it all, all you need do is go out in your garden if you have one or get out into the countryside and connect with your natural surroundings. Smell the flowers, listen to the birds and realise that this is what we are truly part of and yearning for....
Mike your voice hasn't changed since the 80's. And this excellent song brings me back to those special days with the hope of wonderful days ahead. Looking forward to the album!
Mike I have just had the pleasure of seeing you guys in Southampton and have been with you since 1980. Thanks so much for the memories and judging by this track future ones to come
Mike, The original Changes album, for me, is one of those pivotal albums that even now, doesn't seem to have dated at all and listening to it transports me back to 1990, driving around in my old Morris with the windows down during the summer. 31 years later, i still have the car and that album is still a regular play that conjures up summer days and if this song is anything to go by the sequel should be another pivotal one. Mike you don't do many releases, but, wow when you do theyre excellent. Please come and play your music down here in Cornwall at some point. Really interesting vid too!
Wow-I had an Opel (Vauxhall in UK) Kadett from 1977 that days, my first car and was a great Level42 Fan. So I was very happy to realize that there was a solo release from Mike these days and was lucky to get a CD in Germany. Changes was a true compagnion in that time, thanks for the memories and some good vibes on my local walks today.
Best song I've heard this year and it always makes me feel better when I hear it and lifts my spirit. Especially at the moment in isolation with Covid!
We have a fenda rhodes and a hammond organ with a welitzer speaker in our studio here in essex uk.I always look at that fenda rhodes and think of mike,one of the tools of a ladgend ,Great to see your still active,Love your track x,Give Thanks and one love to mike,ps i was at your first l42 gig ipswich regent suffolk uk. When they sold the crowd a whissle,Was a great night out.
Dear Mike, that’s incredible. I bought Changes during my youth (the vynil) and absolutely loved it, it was fundamental for my musical growth. Yesterday I was driving toward a gig and wanted to listen to it after many years. So I put it on a RUclips playlist and enjoyed it with tears (btw, it sounds absolutely modern). Today the algorithm gave me the news Changes 2 is coming. What a beautiful coincidence :) brilliant tune can’t wait for the full album. Best

Alex Hutching nice very Holdsworth
A lot of emotion with this one for me .
Supreme Mike.
Thankyou
The best falsetto in the galaxy !!!👏👏👏👏
....word...
I respectfully disagree. Phillip Bailley from Earth, Wind and Fire, Russel Thompson Jr. from The Stylistics and El Debarge.
Never stop, Mr Lindup. You are one of the finest keyboardplayers ever, up there with Jan Hammer etc. Always amazing and groovy sounds.....
Very kind of you. Jan is a huge hero of mine.
@@MikeLindup42 you SURPASS Jan Hammer, Dear Mr. Lindup!

Yes indeed! And that voice!! So immaculate. So otherworldly.
What a genius. His voice! The guitar! Allan Holdsworth all over again. Beautiful. Amazing. 🎉
Yea Holsworth

It's just a pity that it's very difficult to organise a live tour in this day and age! Mr. Lindup.... I would buy tickets right away 😃!
Love it.

Level 43 by any chance? 😊
Je t'aime Mike Lindup, poète doté d'un magnifique charisme
I love those synth textures. A Mike Lindup signature. Can't wait for Changes 2. I'll preorder it on vinyl.
These lyrics mad me weep;
Time to let go
We don't need it all
We already bring so much inside of us
Time to let go
We don't need it all
The world already has so much to offer us
God already gave us so much - our talents, the love inside us, the people we treasure, our pets, the beauty of nature & wildlife, music, laughter, our senses,
.... our very souls ...
but we try to fill our void with material goods or such things of the devil's deceit... We're consumed with distractions (technology, tv, media, the news & all the rest) instead of looking at what's right under our noses, & engaging with PEOPLE ...
Beautiful tune, Mike ~
You hit the mark lyrically AND Musically ...
The sound of the grinding gears of our fast-paced world chugging against the backdrop of a relaxed ice skater gliding by with "legato strides" ...
You ALWAYS have had a way with translating those subcutaneous & visceral emotions (kept bottled up inside) through your synths! - "It's Over" comes to mind ~) ...
I wish this tune could get ample air play - please consider having your agent contact KTWV in Los Angeles - a Jazz/Fusion-oriented FM radio station (where I subsequently once worked). They just might consider it!

Guitar solo by the spirit of Alan Murphy, fabulous tone and sooooo tasteful?
