This song made me cry my eyes out as a kid watching Watership Down. Now, seeing it in Black Mirror's Demon 79, it's as sad as I remember it yet hauntingly beautiful.
I was a toddler when i first heard this. And now a lifetime later, black mirror beamed this song down, back into my life. Beautiful how one song can mean so many different things at different stages of life. ❤
As a kid from the 80s this will always remind me of watership down, funny how this song makes me feel its a sad song but the nostalgia makes me feel happy beautiful song always will be.
Been a while since i heard this beautiful song. And yesterday, i was watching DEMON 79, i couldn’t hold my tears any longer within the first minutes into the episode. I got hooked immediately and S6 E5 become my favorite because of this song 😭
The others songs that featured in the episode also great. Filled with cool late 70s British tracks. Kudos to whoever had the responsibility to choose the tracks for the Demon 79. They deserved the raise. ❤
Me too, love Black Mirror but Bright Eyes took me back to when I first saw Watership Down, a movie as good as the book and the song still makes me cry after all these years, it is beautiful❤❤
Had my beloved beautiful dog put to sleep the other day and watching her eyes close and the light go out like that made me think of this tune 😢💔 crying again now 😢😢
Yeah same, BM brought back the childhood trauma of watching rabbits torn apart. But it is a beautiful song that I imagine gets played a lot at funerals
I never heard this song until Black mirror. And OMG, its a mix of emotions, and my body reacts to this by crying and I don't know why I'm crying. And that is why I'm sorry I'm living in this stupid time with music without soul, I would give up all the technology just to live in this beautiful times when music was able to touch your soul
Not sure how old you are. I’m 41 and grew up listening to good music, thanks to my dad. Also, I feel like my generation was the last to have music with real meaning so I was blessed in that way as well. I agree with you though. Technology has ruined so much. Has its good qualities but not worth all it has destroyed. In my humble opinion. Edit: With all that said, I have to watch this “Black Mirror” show/movie everyone is commenting about.
That was a special time, waiting for your favorite song to come on the radio, getting excited when your friend came by with a new record, the lack of having everything at your fingertips all at once made everything so much more special, even magical, I miss those times.
Which is exactly where av just come from lol. When i would watch Watership Down as a kid this song would literally bring me to tears. Now listening to it after watching Demon 79, it has so much meaning to it now since losing 3 close family members in the space of this last yr, one being Ma Fiance who passed away just over a year ago. So now when i hear it i think of all 3 of them, i see their bright eyes shining brightly in ma memories, in ma head and in ma dreams, but in reality they have closed and failed and it absolutely breaks ma heart, now it literally brings me to tears, but now the tears just don't stop and niether does the pain in ma heart 😥💔
I watched Watership Down when I was a kid because my parents thought it was a childrens cartoon. Years later this song is still so beautiful, even though it brings back the trauma of my 6 year old child self. Maybe I should watch it again as an adult?
I'm commemorating this song to my dad who passed away 18 days ago.. I will play it when I visit him at his resting place again, soon. Will be 40 days, this coming Christmas Eve. RIP dad, hope you can hear this song - wherever you are now. Will always love you forever. 💌
He hears this song everyday in the afterlife ! Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional. It's the people & things that come to you when you hear it . Take care.
Was having a nostalgic moment with Watership Down and got to thinking about this song. Never heard of Black Mirror, but might have to check it out. Beautiful song.
This was my brother’s favourite song when we were kids. To much regret, we don’t have a close relationship anymore so I listen to this song to feel close to him 😢❤
So happy to hear so many new people being introduced to this song after that epic black mirror episode . This song hits you straight away and never leaves your soul
Reminded by Black Mirror! I used to listen to this song when my dad drives me to his workplace when I was 4 or 5 in 1992 / 1993 or so.. tear drops when I hear this again after these years..
Fivel brought me here. What a truly angelic voice Art had. Woefully underrated and underutilized. For some reason it brings me back to a camp fire and the sparks I saw as a boy, before cell phones existed, and then wierdly to the memory of launching a sky lantern over cape cod about 10 years ago. A blessing.
Lyrics Is it a kind of a dream Floating out on the tide Following the river of death downstream Oh, is it a dream? There's a fog along the horizon A strange glow in the sky And nobody seems to know where it goes And what does it mean? Oh, is it a dream? Bright eyes, burning like fire Bright eyes, how can you close and fail? How can the light that burned so brightly Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes Is it a kind of a shadow Reaching into the night Wandering over the hills unseen Or is it a dream? There's a high wind in the trees A cold sound in the air And nobody ever knows when you go And where do you start? Oh, into the dark Bright eyes, burning like fire Bright eyes, how can you close and fail? How can the light that burned so brightly Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes Bright eyes, burning like fire Bright eyes, how can you close and fail? How can the light that burned so brightly Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes Songwriters: Mike Batt
My beloved cat died the day before I heard this song at the end of the black mirror episode. I had never heard this before, but the lyrics were incredibly moving because they fit exactly what I was feeling: a deep sense of loss when something you love so much is gone forever and you have no idea where they are. The hardest time of my life so far: unconsolable sadness and unanswerable questions.
@@retta7161 Thanks for your kind words. I've lost my mother and father and two of my siblings, and as strange as it may sound to say this, losing that cat was the most difficult loss I've ever experienced. She was truly like a member of our family, and the longer she spent with us the more human she became. It's hard to imagine ever feeling at peace with this loss. This song perfectly captures my thoughts about the loss. And so sorry for your loss-I know how you must be feeling
I used to have a pet guinea pig. He was brown and white with the most beautiful bright red eyes. It was very fitting that I played this song for him when I buried him at his funeral after he died. I also experienced the sense of loss that you are feeling with your cat right now straight after he died. Even after more than 4 years since then not a day goes by when I don't think about him.
I feel a little sad for the folks only discovering this song with Black Mirror. What do you mean you weren't traumatized over a movie/series?? That being said, Demon 79 unlocked a core memory with this song that I hadnt thought of in almost 20 years. I started crying as soon as the music started up and I had no idea why. 10/10 punched right in the feels again.
I want to dedicate this song to Sebastian Rogers he went missing in Tennessee Nashville Hendersonville Stafford's Court Sebastian Rogers, 15 year old with Autism 😢💚 God please help us find Sebastian Rogers 💔😢
Black Mirror bring you here to?

This song made me cry my eyes out as a kid watching Watership Down. Now, seeing it in Black Mirror's Demon 79, it's as sad as I remember it yet hauntingly beautiful.

😅😅😅😅
Watershipdown, one of my fav films and im 62 years old. Beautiful song. ❤
I read that book for comfort.
My son loved this song when he was a little boy, it brings me to tears because it reminds
me of him when he was little, he’s 52 now!
I was a toddler when i first heard this. And now a lifetime later, black mirror beamed this song down, back into my life. Beautiful how one song can mean so many different things at different stages of life. ❤
Same, brought back to this song due to Black Mirror!
Heard it for the first tonight on Black Mirror. Quite haunting.
im 16 n i love this gem ill be sure to keep this song alive by playing it for my kids in the future
So true
As a kid from the 80s this will always remind me of watership down, funny how this song makes me feel its a sad song but the nostalgia makes me feel happy beautiful song always will be.
Beautiful song, to with the beautiful Watership Down film. ❤❤❤❤
Been a while since i heard this beautiful song. And yesterday, i was watching DEMON 79, i couldn’t hold my tears any longer within the first minutes into the episode. I got hooked immediately and S6 E5 become my favorite because of this song 😭

Feel the same...
Me too, love Black Mirror but Bright Eyes took me back to when I first saw Watership Down, a movie as good as the book and the song still makes me cry after all these years, it is beautiful❤❤
Me too ❤
Eh, I see you never traumatised by rabbits massacre
Had my beloved beautiful dog put to sleep the other day and watching her eyes close and the light go out like that made me think of this tune 😢💔 crying again now 😢😢
So so sorry claire for your loss I'll keep you and your family in my prayers
Our Finn has been gone for 4 years, and it still hurts.... bad. This song could make a stone statue cry.
Same as me, every time I lose a cat. My deepest sympathies
So sorry this is never easy 😢❤
I had to put my beautiful tuxedo girl Sweetpea to sleep on June 4, 2024. It broke my heart.😭
Perfect song for the end of the world
Thanks Black Mirror, for show me this amazing song!!
Yeah same, BM brought back the childhood trauma of watching rabbits torn apart. But it is a beautiful song that I imagine gets played a lot at funerals
How can a song evoke sadness, glory, nostalgia, joy and a picture of rabbits
I never heard this song until Black mirror. And OMG, its a mix of emotions, and my body reacts to this by crying and I don't know why I'm crying. And that is why I'm sorry I'm living in this stupid time with music without soul, I would give up all the technology just to live in this beautiful times when music was able to touch your soul
we lived in the very cradle of beauty. then technology stole humanity's soul.
Not sure how old you are. I’m 41 and grew up listening to good music, thanks to my dad. Also, I feel like my generation was the last to have music with real meaning so I was blessed in that way as well. I agree with you though. Technology has ruined so much.

U should watch watership down it’s better :)
That was a special time, waiting for your favorite song to come on the radio, getting excited when your friend came by with a new record, the lack of having everything at your fingertips all at once made everything so much more special, even magical, I miss those times.
Omg, black mirror introduced me to this masterpiece
😮😮😅
Mo ok😮
😪🤤😮🌲
For every person who was healthy but lost his brightness with a disease...I dedicate this amazing song...
I love this song! From one of my favorite movies, Watership Down.
It's on season 6 demon79 on Black Mirror now.
Which is exactly where av just come from lol. When i would watch Watership Down as a kid this song would literally bring me to tears.

Do it man
Dogs aren't dangerous!!!!
No I'm sorry but you must read the book. The only way out is through, my good human.
I’m having a Watership Down moment!!!
This song makes me cry without fail every time... Those damn rabbits.
This passage in Watership Down had me enthralled, so good and peaceful yet nostalgic
Amazing song all over
I'm commemorating this song to my dad who passed away 18 days ago.. I will play it when I visit him at his resting place again, soon. Will be 40 days, this coming Christmas Eve. RIP dad, hope you can hear this song - wherever you are now. Will always love you forever. 💌

oh i heard this for the first time yesterday when i watched black mirror. loved it and that episode. this song is so beautiful.
Was having a nostalgic moment with Watership Down and got to thinking about this song. Never heard of Black Mirror, but might have to check it out. Beautiful song.
same here!
This masterpiece will never be forgotten 🙂
Art Garfunkel had an amazing voice.
I remember when this first popped up on the Watership Down VHS. It always struck my heart.
If there will be a last song for me to listen to in this lifetime I think this will be it.
This was my brother’s favourite song when we were kids. To much regret, we don’t have a close relationship anymore so I listen to this song to feel close to him 😢❤
One of the most beautiful songs ever
So happy to hear so many new people being introduced to this song after that epic black mirror episode . This song hits you straight away and never leaves your soul

I’m binge watching watership down animated series. I always feel chills when I hear the song
Perfect darkness and light combo ⚡️⚡️🌈🌈 Unique
Beautiful song 🎶🎵🎶
Lets be honest, Gap’s shenanigans brought each and everyone of us here and single handedly saved an otherwise derelict and moribund season
Fivel brought me here. What a truly angelic voice Art had. Woefully underrated and underutilized. For some reason it brings me back to a camp fire and the sparks I saw as a boy, before cell phones existed, and then wierdly to the memory of launching a sky lantern over cape cod about 10 years ago.

They ended that Black Mirror season with this song???
And it worked!!!
Start and end of the episode
Black Mirror brought me here....
Me too ❤

Lyrics
Is it a kind of a dream
Floating out on the tide
Following the river of death downstream
Oh, is it a dream?
There's a fog along the horizon
A strange glow in the sky
And nobody seems to know where it goes
And what does it mean?
Oh, is it a dream?
Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes
Is it a kind of a shadow
Reaching into the night
Wandering over the hills unseen
Or is it a dream?
There's a high wind in the trees
A cold sound in the air
And nobody ever knows when you go
And where do you start?
Oh, into the dark
Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes
Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes

@59zz . Thank you for the Lyrics. Been so long since heard this beautiful song just tears listening memories.amazing.😪✨️✨️✨️🙏

Oh, I know the pain you feel!!!
Thanks for saying that. I don’t wish this pain on anyone but it is comforting knowing that there are others who understand how I feel
I am so sorry for your loss 😢I too dedicate this to my cat who died last week. 😢

“Black Mirror” brought me here too 😅
I wish there were more episodes. Overall, 10/10👏😁
This song tells the transition from life to death so perfectly said
I think of my beautiful baby boy siamese who lived only to 9. But those 9 year with him and his bright eyes were wonderful.
❤
Thank you Black Mirror for leading me here❤
Of course
Not me singing my heart out during the beginning of Demon 79
Thanks to Black Mirror for showing me this master piece…. It really touched my soul❤❤❤
I feel a little sad for the folks only discovering this song with Black Mirror. What do you mean you weren't traumatized over a movie/series?? That being said, Demon 79 unlocked a core memory with this song that I hadnt thought of in almost 20 years.
