Agradeço a vocês pelas maravilhosas músicas que fizeram juntos....agradeço aos amigos que mostraram essas músicas....agradeço a música pelo estado de Êxtase que senti quando ouvi essa música e muitas outras que ouvi até hoje....Grato por tudo de Bom....
i have cried many times to this and other hammill songs over the past few years, and yet without him it could've been so much worse. i feel eternally indebted to his artistry.
My favorite piece from VDGG. There's something very special about it. Hard to describe, but makes me emotional every time I listen to it. Peter looks like he's in some sort of trance. People attending know that something magic is happening, nice to see their expression evolve as they get caught in the lyrism of all this. Beautiful.
I don't believe there is anything they have written that I have not liked. Shame they no longer have Dave on sax there are some tracks that his sound just make it special.
So Intense emotion ... I cry tears. (Also this familiair bts shots are melting as they're your own. Só Wondering! Peter H!!! and the band VDGG/ (from 'World Record')
I was warned against prog rock as a young listener, for reasons that actually made it sound really interesting. I was therefore disappointed to find that most of the loci classici of the genre didn't act or sound anything like they were supposed to do. Discovering Van der Graaf relatively late in life is a bit of a Holy Grail situation.
Van der graff are a great band capable of building real musical epics, this song is an example. Beautiful sonic texture, Hammil's voice thrilling, and that crescendo ending brings tears.
Auguri a PETER HAMMILL !!!!!! Speriamo si sia ripreso dal grave problema di salute che ha avuto qualche mese fa !!!!!!! Il LEADER cantante musicista compositore della band PROG ROCK VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR, oggi 5 Nov 2022 compie 74 anni!!!!!! HAPPY birthday mr HAMMILL!!!!!!
VDGG did many great songs but I feel this is their strongest song and album. It has a suppers ready vibe to it with the grandiose ending with strong organ lifting it beyond magical.
Great song , great band . One of the best Prog bands , Van Der Graaf were so unique and different . Up there with Gentle Giant , Soft Machine and Caravan as my personnal favourites .
IT HAS ALL BEEN TRUE. ALL I KNOW IS TRUE. ALL YOU KNOW IS TRUE. i AM HERE. WE ARE HERE. It was the music, her and me. we are here on earth. the mind of god on earth.
I was So so lucky to see the band in November 1976 on the World Record tour at Leeds Grand theatre, absolutely stunning and not just a gig but a memory for life 👌 Can't wait to get the Box set 😁😁
Hi Andy I was there too. I was stunned by the power and energy they had. (Since leant that Hugh had bad tooth ache on that tour) It was my first live show of theirs. Have been smitten ever since. Unique, no other band like them. Hammill is a genius.
@@michaelsimpson1557 Cheers for that, I was amazed to see the photos taken at Leeds in the book included in the box set, 👌 Patiently waiting to see them next year at Manchester
I was so lucky to get born that year :) And this is most likely the best 1976 song ever. There are better pieces, but not from 1976. I wish this one to be reproduced during my funeral. Not just because the text fits to my view of such event ;) It seems to be... apropriate.
I will arise: In the depths, I will open my eyes; As my breath almost fails me, survive. Wait - there's something unclear, There's something I fear now drawing close. Could it be you? Whose is that voice? Is it now time to make a choice? Ah - that irrational pain! This ridiculous brain now bursts with joy. Could it be me? Could it be now? Should I begin to take my vows? I will return: As I live, as I breathe, as I burn I swear I will come through, With my hands stretching out in the dark, With my eye pressed up tight to the glass, Wondering if it's all been true. Wondering, wondering, wondering... Wondering if it's all ... wondering if it's all been true...
Oh wow, This album blew me away last year. I recently bought box set of first album and LOVED it. You guys are in my top bands. My favorite bands are Yes, Emerson Lake and Palmer. I am also a huge Dio fan. Van der Graaf lyrics and music are untouchable and truly great
Sublime. Hammill is The most under-estimated genius of last century.
Peter Hamill surely was the first Shakespearian frontman both in his wonderful poetry and his inimitable delivery on stage.

For all their darkness and angst, this band kept me alive in a very difficult period
Especially "Killer" for me.
Great to hear. Peter would be so happy to know that. He is a true artist, but this is bigger tham art.
i have cried many times to this and other hammill songs over the past few years, and yet without him it could've been so much worse. i feel eternally indebted to his artistry.
@@meurglysthefourth I have cried many times to some songs of Hammill
This band made some absolutely beautiful songs...
Absolutely! And also a good number of terrifying ones :)
@@bernhardkaiser9567 Absolutely! And also a bad number of spooky ones 👻
And some beautifully terrifying songs, or is it terrifyingly beautiful songs ? Probably both.
Whats sound since the beginning !
Son de otro planeta
Maybe the most forgotten heroes of our times (the band AND Peter....)🙂
I'm Japanese. About 45years ago, I saw this promo video on TV with very big impression. Still I like very much. Great!
Amazing band. Amazing song. Amazing hamill. Amazing prog. Better to live with this kind of music

A personal anthem with all the majestic orchestration included! We would all sing along if we only could.
I don't believe there is anything they have written that I have not liked. Shame they no longer have Dave on sax there are some tracks that his sound just make it special.
My favorite for me too, a very classical song, like Procol Harum style
Réfugees and wondering are my fevorite
Tears
When i die please let this be my goodbye song
Perhaps the single most underappreciated band in all of prog.
Maravilhoso....Maravilhoso...Maravilhoso......
Why have I never heard of this band? Bonkers
Brazil here
we love u PETER HAMMILL
never seen this perfomance before
i cried a lot
So Intense emotion ... I cry tears.
(Also this familiair bts shots are melting as they're your own.
Só Wondering! Peter H!!! and the band VDGG/ (from 'World Record')
Love when Peter once introduced this as ''another one of our hymns'' with Hugh on organ, he was not wrong.

Can you elaborate on this ? Really curious about it!
Yo escucho esto y me emociona indescriptiblemente. Es cósmico!!!
It's ridiculous how many belters Peter's produced. Seemingly neverending.
Heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time. PH, a true legend, the Byron of his time
An incredible band with such talented musicians and then Peter with all his solo albums too. Just remarkable and still sounds fresh.
This silly band makes me so emotional sometimes
知らないうちにこんな綺麗な映像がUPされてた。
最近LP買い直したところだった。
このバンドの一番好きな曲！！！
本当に、いいバンドですよね！
A hymn
Happy Birthday Peter Hammill ♥️!
Van der graff are a great band capable of building real musical epics, this song is an example. Beautiful sonic texture, Hammil's voice thrilling, and that crescendo ending brings tears.
A rare Gem, and thank goodness for RUclips!!!

Utterly, utterly beautiful.

*So* unique, eh? LOL! That's pretty unique... 🙂
@@billytheschmid King Crimson and Yes want to have a word with you guys.
Шедевр!
Peter looking effortlessly cool.
Simply great song from Van Der Graaf Generator. Melody is catching and at the same time melancholy.
I dont think people realize how aeesome guy evans is. my god, the whole band.....
Peter Hammil la cagó una voz excelente.un mounstro
I love this band and this song ... so very much.
Goosebumps. So special.
what beautiful song
Man, I love this song. It's definitely in the "I wish I wrote" category.
Such a nice video. Summer '76 vibes.....
Magnifique chanson et souvenir de la dernière chanson du concert de réunion de VDGG à Londres le 6 mai 2005.
Nádherná, hluboce niterná, duchovní skladba. Klenot.
Jeden z najpiękniejszych utworów wszech czasów.....BRAVO...VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR....BRAVO....PETER HAMMILL...🇵🇱👍👍👍👍👍👍🎷🎷🎷🎷
Czy jeden z najpiękniejszych? Kwestia dyskusyjna. Ale jest bezdyskusyjnie świetny!
Замечательная группа. Почему я не знал её в юности. Ведь и друзья все были меломаны.
Just love it with my whole ❤️. Genius.
Brings me tears...👏👏👏👏💞💞💞💞
My favourite song. Will be played at my funeral because, by then, I will no longer be wondering if it's all been true!
me too. Already in my Will
It IS true,, it isn't the end. The Holy Spirit permeats it all!!!
@@ulfingvar1 permeats?
Same here
Same here I already booked it!
Uno de los grupos más vanguardistas, originales e incomprendidos en la historia del rock.....por siempre Van der Graaf Generator!!!!!!!
Casi no conozco fans latinos de esta tremenda banda...saludos
falou tudo
@@reatilla2 aqui uno pero soy de españa
@@reatilla2 Hola Córdoba , Argentina , presente !. Aquí somos muchos los fans , El vino tres veces a mi ciudad , allá por los 90s .Saludos.
Ojo,es la banda más grande de la historia del rock progresivo.....de las minorías !!
VDGG por siempre en nuestros corazones...
Should have been a 1976 Xmas No.1 and on Top of the Pops.📽 🎭🎶👌.
World Record from VDGG was wonderous
I miss David Jackson so much, from this band.
Splendide, j’adore !

They played once on Quebec tour in 76...i got goose bumps 50 years later...JUST AN AMAZING CUT!
Always loved this cut, wonderful to see this on video. Love when Hamill strolls to the beat. :)
Is Jaxon playing the correct horn. Last song on the last album they did together for 30 years. Pure gold.
Lost it during that coda, lol. Beautiful song. Great vid too. Thankyou for sharing.
Amazing! The BEST band!
Lullaby for my daughter thirty years ago... ✌️🇺🇦
Interesting to see the kid at 4:09 wearing, of all things, a vintage Winnipeg Blue Bombers t-shirt! Wonder where this promo video was made.
Me encanta !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
💜🤩🥺🙌🏻
Y Peter Hammill se ve taaaan hermoooooso como siempre 😍
es el mejor
IT HAS ALL BEEN TRUE. ALL I KNOW IS TRUE. ALL YOU KNOW IS TRUE.

Se me han saltado las lagrimas.
Pero el corazon esta lleno.
Gracias.
Pqp nem imaginava que existia clipe dessa música...
