A perfect example of how everything comes together in David's music. The harmonies, the lyrics, his voice, exceptional musicians like Fripp and Nelson, all the different genres coming through. A moody masterpiece. David is criminally underrated.
How can David sylvian music sound so happy and so sad at the same time ... it's undescribable, and amazing it's what i've felt like my whole life he put into music feelings i've long struggled to understand
I first heard this when I was 15 and I thought it was beautiful. Now I’m 50 and it’s still magical. Some songs are simply eternal and timeless. Nice one David
I think that' s the best Song EVER. This Song Is EVERYTHING to me. The LOVE and the BEAUTY he spreaded into this .....among many other songs of him...but them doesn't belong to him, they can't. This is an inspiration that comes from ABOVE , from BEYOND. From OTHER plans of the existence. Of being. And he channelled all this wonderful experience happened in the HIGHEST plans into a song ..... that makes all of us feel completely transfixed and deeply moved, THANK YOU ❤️. This is ETERNAL.❤️
This song always take me back to the summer of 86. A melancholy summer of teenage love lost. What a beautiful melody. Stunning. All these years later I’m stiff baffled why Sylvian isn’t touted as one of musics great artists. Plugged his own way, turning away from pop charts and into his own world, doing what he wanted. Always a hero and inspiration!
First heard Brilliant Trees on cassette at 16. Then Gone to Earth on vinyl. It penetrated my soul and at 47, it still stiirs my being in exactly the same way. The innocence of the unkowing and the known. How lost we can become. Thank you David Sylvian for your most excellent of poetic execution. Aka: the bloody bollocks. Your expression rocks the soul and moves. I think as a human being, all we leave behind is that which moves another to love's expression. You capture human love in all of it's profondity, and the immensity of natures hand. Thank you so very much.
Lyrics: Out upon the open fields The rain is pouring down We're pulling up the sheets again Against the passing tides of love Every doubt that holds you here Will find their own way out I will build a shelter if you call Just take my hand and walk Over mountains high and wide Bridging rivers deep inside With a will to guide you on Your heart will need no one Those days are gone Baby, I can tell you there's no easy way out Lost inside of dreams that guide you on Baby, I can tell you there's no easy way out Soon the guiding moonlight will be gone Out upon the ocean waves subside From the weakness of the tide That punishes in kind, when the heavens open wide Every shore the moon shines on Every word her siren's sung, "believe in no one" Baby, I can tell you there's no easy way out Lost inside of dreams that guide you on Baby, I can tell you there's no easy way out Soon the guiding moonlight will be gone
What an extraordinary PANTHEON of avant guardists and composers and arrangment masterminds from his days in Japan and later Solo career..i mean everyone arround him is a genious and he himself a genious of his own, visionary and poet with this low absolutely unique, mesmerising liquid voice and heavenly looks! what kind of invisible hand joined their courses , made their paths in common and led them together to produce all these extraordinary works..how many universal variables nanotuned for that to happenn!!!!! I mean what are the odds to that in mathematical terms! David Sylvian beats materialism out of me and makes me think that the antropomorphic principle is true or that given enough time the universe will eventually express it self in sheer perfection!
A timeless song. Only maybe Bryan Ferry or Bowie could do this. It’s hard to believe it’s from 1986!!!!! With the arrangement and instruments it is free from the typical 80s click clack production. Sylvian and Japan are incredible.
There were many artists who defied stereotypical Big 80s production values. If you lived in the UK during that time, you would have heard plenty of them.
There is some kind of law of diminishing returns with popular music.. Nevermind, most people prefer to see a Marvel film than something actually special.
Too bad he's been churning out only self-indulgent experimental trash these days. David has tremendous raw talent but due to poor sales of his albums he's lost direction ever since the late 90s. Only if the man was properly appreciated for this kind of music...
@@yuuya2111 I would not agree with you, cause his world citizen, blemish and manafon are quite special and in these works its seen he's a mature artist for today, also i can notice his appearence on Sakamoto's async - the song called "life, life", which is written by Arseniy Tarkovski. But the most powerful album to me is David's / Sakamoto's "world citizen"
It would be great to see him doing a greatest hits tour. Come on Dave get out the house and play some gigs. The love is still out there. Some Rain tree crow, Japan, Nine horses and his solo stuff. It’s a dream but you never know.
I think he needed a lot of time off to process his personal life... He experienced a lot of loss in a very short space of time... and losing Mick Karn must have cut deep... he will be back🎋
This should have been the first single, rather than Taking the Veil. I believe this would have then charted in the top 40 - continuing David's chart career. Oh well, you can't change history.
This song is about the realisation that your life is uniquely yours and the meaning of life is what you attribute to it No person religion or state can comfort in the realisation that life is temporary
There are two performances that are key to the sonic appeal of this track. One is the subtle piano of Sylvian himself, which serves as a base for the various guitar parts, and the brilliantly restrained soprano sax solo of Mel Collins. Both magical elements in one of Sylvian's most accomplished solo pieces.
Ik ben al verslingerd aan de muziek van Japan sinds 1978 en na het verscheiden van die band, wat me nog altijd enorm spijt, aan wat hij daarna op muzikaal gebied heeft gepresteerd...Hoewel ik niet alles even interessant vind...Ook dit is weer zo'n typisch Sylvian-sfeernummer.
Ecouter David, c'est abolir le déferlement de bruits et d'images du quotidien pour entrouvrir l'espace d'un ailleurs où la contingence et la représentation cèdent la place à l'immatérialité du sensible. Une fois refermée la porte sur l'agitation du monde, un silence sous-jacent s'installe, une lenteur saisit, préludes à une dilatation de la perception et de la conscience. Le pouvoir expressif de l'architecture sonore rompt avec toute forme de transcription du réel pour s'attacher à l'expression d'un univers insaisissable .. :-)

Agree.
How can David sylvian music sound so happy and so sad at the same time ...
it's undescribable, and amazing
it's what i've felt like my whole life
he put into music feelings i've long struggled to understand
is the clarinet
I first heard this when I was 15 and I thought it was beautiful. Now I’m 50 and it’s still magical. Some songs are simply eternal and timeless. Nice one David
Same
I´m fifty too. And i agree with all you said. thanks.
Same. In the same boat. " I will build a shelter if you call. Just take my hand and walk.. ". Pure poetry.
I remember when Brilliant Trees was released and we couldn’t wait to get a copy. It didn’t disappoint. 53 now WTF. 🙂
I'm 50 & it's still every bit as special to me , as when i heard it as a teenager.
I must have been seventeen years old and I tried to get into the ballet academy in Amsterdam. I danced for hours in my bedroom to this song...
I think that' s the best Song EVER.
This Song Is EVERYTHING to me.
The LOVE and the BEAUTY he spreaded into this .....among many other songs of him...but them doesn't belong to him, they can't. This is an inspiration that comes from ABOVE , from BEYOND.

songs of his , I wanted to say......
sorry for my English...🌹
Sylvian deserves more recognition and attention, only tasteful people hear this
There really IS beauty in the world...
This video was recorded in Spain. 🇪🇸
Yes :')

David's music and lyrics tell me all about my life, my hopes, dreams and fears. I adore many artists, but he's in a top spot.
Zbyszek Filipiak I completely agree with you
I totally agree...
Always loved this song, indeed Gone to Earth in its entirety.
Both Bill Nelson & Robert Fripp play on this track. A splendour of riches.
Two amazing musicians
Did you hear the stuff Jan Linton did with Bill Nelson? Sometimes similar to Sylvian

Still makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. A beautiful & moving track.
The changes in key are subtle yet stunning. Such a fantastic artist.
'Gone To Earth' is my favourite album by David Sylvian, rather by chance than by choice.
Lyrics:
Out upon the open fields
The rain is pouring down
We're pulling up the sheets again
Against the passing tides of love
Every doubt that holds you here
Will find their own way out
I will build a shelter if you call
Just take my hand and walk
Over mountains high and wide
Bridging rivers deep inside
With a will to guide you on
Your heart will need no one
Those days are gone
Baby, I can tell you there's no easy way out
Lost inside of dreams that guide you on
Baby, I can tell you there's no easy way out
Soon the guiding moonlight will be gone
Out upon the ocean waves subside
From the weakness of the tide
That punishes in kind, when the heavens open wide
Every shore the moon shines on
Every word her siren's sung, "believe in no one"
Baby, I can tell you there's no easy way out
Lost inside of dreams that guide you on
Baby, I can tell you there's no easy way out
Soon the guiding moonlight will be gone
Absolutely epic lyrics . Thanks for sharing them.
Vay Türk de mi görücektik buralarda
Lovely song that breaks my heart in two when Dave sang "Those days are gone" and "Believe in no one". Magical
David Sylvian is a genius, not just a poet! ❤️
What an extraordinary PANTHEON of avant guardists and composers and arrangment masterminds from his days in Japan and later Solo career..i mean everyone arround him is a genious and he himself a genious of his own, visionary and poet with this low absolutely unique, mesmerising liquid voice and heavenly looks! what kind of invisible hand joined their courses , made their paths in common and led them together to produce all these extraordinary works..how many universal variables nanotuned for that to happenn!!!!!
I mean what are the odds to that in mathematical terms!
David Sylvian beats materialism out of me and makes me think that the antropomorphic principle is true or that given enough time the universe will eventually express it self in sheer perfection!
The production levels in this gem of a song are outstanding. This song is truly full of beauty.
David Sylvian is a poet
it's just like piece of heaven🌷
A timeless song. Only maybe Bryan Ferry or Bowie could do this. It’s hard to believe it’s from 1986!!!!! With the arrangement and instruments it is free from the typical 80s click clack production. Sylvian and Japan are incredible.
There's no way it sounds like it's from the 80s - I totally agree. He doesn't look it in the video either
@@kdp8133 Could David be from another dimension?🤖
I think Fripp really influenced David's sound back then. Genius + genius :)
There were many artists who defied stereotypical Big 80s production values. If you lived in the UK during that time, you would have heard plenty of them.
That’s because he deliberately modeled himself on David Bowie and Bryan Ferry, and successfully so.
Love this song. Love this album. Great artist.
Massively underrated artists WHY?????? Absolutely brilliant
There is some kind of law of diminishing returns with popular music.. Nevermind, most people prefer to see a Marvel film than something actually special.

I wholeheartedly agree.. such a pretentious self indulgent man ... tsk
@@stephenholden8955 In your opinion. A genius in my opinion.
One of the most beautiful melodies ever done
Let’s all pray at the Alta of Mr Sylvian...his music has been with me all my life...soundtrack to my life
Oh yes. Many moments frozen in my time hinge on DS. When I met him all I could say was Thank You.
Me too
Let's not turn into a religious cult. Man has flaws too
It would be great to see him doing a greatest hits tour. Come on Dave get out the house and play some gigs. The love is still out there. Some Rain tree crow, Japan, Nine horses and his solo stuff. It’s a dream but you never know.

Seagreentangerine
Lets hope so.. Mick Karn total one off awesome bass player. 🙂
@@seagreentangerine2065 Losing Mick Karn? They weren't even speaking since the mid 1990s. Mick refused to see him even on his deathbed.
Mick died about 11 years ago!
@@seagreentangerine2065 Mick died 10 years ago!
Double vinyl, still one of my go to albums.
I bought this single at 15 it still takes my breath away - utterly beautiful
This should have been the first single, rather than Taking the Veil. I believe this would have then charted in the top 40 - continuing David's chart career. Oh well, you can't change history.
Absolutely exquisite ❤❤❤.....
Where on in earth do I find a man like this?.. probably they only exist in heaven 😅
Very underrated artist, his music is very clean and beautiful
Ha sempre cantato in maniera sublime su musiche profondissime. Genio talentuosissimo stupendo artista
Another sublime piece by this man. Wonderful.
Music does not get much better than this for me !
This song is about the realisation that your life is uniquely yours and the meaning of life is what you attribute to it
No person religion or state can comfort in the realisation that life is temporary
Always moves me every time I hear this

So glad to see all these videos being uploaded with the quality they deserve after all these years. :)
I agree with you....we need every scrap!
C’est magnifique 🌸😊💕
Ever doubt that holds you here
Will find their own way home
Brilliant lyrics from a great song

My God! I love his voice
David is a Sufi
This song has my heart
It's the first time that i hear this song...and it's very very beautiful!
Canzone splendida cantata, oltretutto, da un uomo di grande classe (anche molto bello)
Il concerto migliore in assoluto... David a Milano nel 88...
Il mondo va dove vuole, io resto qui con David...
What a gorgeous song 🎵
An absolute musical genius,take a bow Mr Sylvian.
Thx Monster for giving me this masterpiece
MAGIC!!! 🎶
how I love the guitar in every chorus line
Beautifully composed words written majestically xx
Pure emotions ✨
tra le poche canzoni a farmi venire i brividi. Le corde del basso vibrano alla stessa frequenza del mio cuore.
4ever Love for this singer....
Beautiful song :)
great work
Great track David.
Everything is beautiful
Lovely.
An amazing man. Thanks for the upload.
El Gran David Sylvian cuando estaba enamorado de Ingrid Chávez... El amor murió..
Maravilloso!
Beautiful. 😍
Perfection
thankyou! I saw this back long long ago.
Beautiful.xx
Masterpiece still. 2020
De las canciones que te llegan al alma y un video que recaba en tu nostalgia.
here are some hills ... here is my song
david is the most beautiful woman in the world
lmfao what
Hahahahahahaaaaa
Wonderful voice 🙃
Thinking of my never ending love.
Superbe
David Sylvian Togheter Forever
Io lo adoro ❤
Poesia....
Gone to heaven.
不思議な感じ‥ 月に浮かぶ感じなのかな
Un elfo mandato. Da dio
❤❤❤❤❤
🖤 sólo él.
Aw, man, that sax solo. Just beautiful. Is it Mel Collins?
♡
Wow
What a beautiful song...what's it about?
Indulge some still time...
This, or 'The Boy With The Gun'..? That's a tough, tough choice.
Robert FRIPP Was here
I'm puzzled by what he's doing now compared to the 80's.
Same here. Now he's just making some self-indulgent pretentious experimental crap. What the hell happened. Such a waste of talent...
Robert Fripp play guitar?
Yes
He and Bill Nelson
Sembra david bowie...potrebbe farlo lui un film su Bowie!! Laura
He looks nice with dark hair instead of blonde
Filming location?
Dennis Spain, I do believe.
Really? I didn't realize they had large bodies of freshwater. I would have guessed Scotland or something.
Looks like the Lake District which he visited with Russell Mills, I think.
@@MPHORROCKS Thanks, that looks like a winner!
Yes it is the Lake District in the UK.
