It's unfortunate, but we can't stop time. How many great stars of back when we were young have passed in this 21st century! Mark will always be remembered. 😢 RIP
@@yandan7010 people were making fun of him years ago. That is how I found the video, someone linked it to laugh at him, but when i started to listen the song I was blown away, really. I keep coming back to this day, over 10 years later.
It's OK, most of us have a similar story, I was willing to accept I got it wrong and was grateful to bear witness to such beautiful expression of love.
This song just fucking owns. I've listened to it maybe 300 times now, in a couple of weeks. I sing it around the house. I can't stop. can those little wings make it? I believe they can after listening this many times. They fucking will make it. This song is about hope - no matter how little your wings are, you can absolutely fly away. Doesn't matter how many people tell you to push harder than you need to, or that it's too cold to fly, you can absolutely fucking do it.
Mark Gormley uses some really interesting melodic structures in his song writing. It's an eerie blend of folk and 1970's psychedelic rock reminiscent of Simon & Garfunkel covering Led Zeppelin.
Here's the chord progression: G (3x0033) G7 (3x3003) C (032013) Eb (x65046) G (3x0033) G7 (3x3003) C (032013) Bb (x13331) Remember to wear protection ;)
LITTLE WINGS Little wings, can you make the flight The rain is getting heavy. There's a storm tonight A summer drive home, the ocean close below Will you make the morning light? Oh, little wings in flight The path you weave, most certain to achieve The everlasting will of little wings in flight Do you feel weary? Time is marching slowly Nothing matters more than little wings in flight Do you think that you'll find your way Little foolish wings tossed about in the wind of fate Do you hope? Do you think you stand a chance The wind is steering colder. The sea is growing bolder, little wings Do you hear the water on the rock though I do believe you can make it through Oh, little wings. The spirit is you All you need to do is fly away Hey-ay, little wings, fly away Little wings, can you feel the bite The end's a little nearer, everything will be alright Little wings, can you fly a little stronger The shore can't be much farther. It won't be much longer, little wings Little wings. Oh, good bye little wings Your journey is over. Are you sleeping peacefully Try, try again. Try again some other time Everything remains except the sound of your little wings in flight In flight In flight copyright 2009 Mark Gormley
Damn. This gave me goosebumps. I would like to discribe this feeling that I get from the song but i can't. All I can say is that this song is peace. And I mean it. Just peace, hope and motivation for me. Love it!
I met him years ago when he was trying out 'the stance'. He couldn't get the balance quite right and kept falling over to the side. I knew then that if he perfected it some day, it would cause us to rethink the very fabric of the universe.
I don't care really, the melody is catchy and the guitar track is awesome. The special effects just adds to the whole experience. Truly a masterpiece of our time.
No, you're not alone! I saw his video "Without You" being ridiculed on Smoking Gun (by ex-con celebrities), watched it on RUclips a couple of times & bought his CD. It's on my iPods now.
"Your journey's over, are you sleeping peacefully" hits way different now. I found this treasure by accident about 10 years ago, and have been obsessed with his music. RIP
Mark Gormley and Chuck Norris faced off at the edge of the universe. Chuck Norris performed a roundhouse kick to The Gorm's face. The amazing force destroyed The Gorm's body, but it reformed out of butterflies. He smiled and his glorious love calmed the rage of Chuck Norris. Now Chuck Norris is content walking on earth like a man. The Gorm flies above the water from time to time to keep reminding Norris of his love.
I genuinely enjoy this. His voice works in a weird way and the video matches the music perfectly. It's all very endearing in an entertaining and interesting way. It's timeless in a way.
i dont know why but this music video actually makes me appreciate the small things in life, such as a good dinner, spend time with friends and family, take a walk at the beach on a sunny day when the seagulls and birds fly around and make noises,listen to the waves of the ocean! the small things in life are way to underrated, the ocean, the beach and the seagulls is so beautiful!
Rest in Peace, Mark. This is a song that I’ve come back to for years. Phil and Tommy, I hope you guys are doing well. My friend Jeremy and I have been fans for a long time
Coming back to this masterpiece. Rest in Peace to Mark Gormley. May your wings help you take flight to the great beyond, and may we all be so lucky to meet you there when it's time for our little wings to make that same flight.

Y'know, like a lot of people, I found out about this song because it seems kinda silly at first, but over the years I've learned to appreciate it as just a well made, enjoyable, positive, great song. Props to Mark for doing his thing. RIP, man.
His body language! His face! His shirt! His angelic voice! And all of it made even more timeless and enchanting via the brilliance of the music video director. A masterpiece. This will be remembered.
The comments left for this video are the most amazing I have ever seen, I believe Mark Gormley walks among us as a God. Thank you Mark for coming down to visit.
+MRRussiantaco I served with him in the forces. He wrote this song about slitting the throat of a small Vietnamese boy he found in the jungle whilst on patrol.
You unlock this door with the key of imagination, beyond it is another dimension.. a dimension of sound ....a dimension of sight.. a dimension of mind... your moving into a land of both shadow and substance of things and ideas... you have just crossed over into THE GORMLEY ZONE!
I was at the edge of my ropes and Mark Gormley came to me flying with fluorescent wings and saved my life like an angel and I couldn’t help but glide with him.

Just found out Mark Gormley passed away at age 67. Fly away, you legend. We shall remember your little wings in flight.
Well damn. Now I know why I was suddenly thinking of him again.
Never forget lads, we once walked the Earth with the legend known as Mark Gormley.
Oh no! :( I will wear my MG shirt and do The Power Stance in his honour. Rest in peace, gentle man. Your music lives forever.
Awe I’m actually pretty sad about this.
@@Cr125stin Just thought about him yesterday, sent someone one of his videos, only found out he died a few days ago. Sad, there goes another legend.
It's unfortunate, but we can't stop time. How many great stars of back when we were young have passed in this 21st century! Mark will always be remembered. 😢 RIP
Inside Mark Gormley's shirt pocket holds all of the knowledge of the universe.
Kaeble L Never underestimate the pocket of Gormley.
Actually it's just coupons for Arby's. You were close though
One must work to attain the great Gormley power stance in order to see inside.
"Inside Mark Gormley's shirt pocket holds all of the knowledge of the universe."
And 12 pens.
@@MarkGormlyIsHung Killed it
Mark Gormley passed away a few days ago and now I have to revisit his entire library. RIP MARK.
here to pay my respects
This must be why the universe sent me a gentle reminder to seek out his magic again. RIP to a powerfully stanced man.
Rip Mark was a beautiful singer and songwriter his songs will go on forever
Given the right circumstances and opportunities, I have no doubt Mark could have been a star in the late 60's and 70's folk scene.
💯 this sounds like a groovy 60s tune
All he needs is a perm and a shirtless album cover and he'd go Platinum faster than a New York minute
Wonder if Mark is doing alright these days
mark zepplin
F a 60 or a 70, marks a star, right now, today.
Obsessed with this unironically. He’s a genius.
May I ask, what ironically enjoying this would mean?

@@joelellis927 I remember listening to this years and years ago and thinking it was a joke. Love this song so much now. Nostalgic and hopeful
I dislocated my hip while attempting the power stance.
"power stance" haha!
zudemaster It's all about the shift. From one side to the other.
You too?! 😲
You have to train for years to complete the "power stance" . You must learn to crawl before you stance! Mark Gormley

wow. phil thomas katt sure is flamboyant.
don't forgot how intensely space happy he is
Dank Smoke He sure is.I looked up flamboyant in the dictionary,and Phil's picture was there.
Dank Smoke Tommy Robinetti's face when Phil is saying that =D
bwahahahah
Dank Smoke best comment ever
Mark's voice is like a warm blanket that protects me from the cold cruel world.
The blanket has been removed. R.I.P Mark Gormley
The change in stance from one foot to the other has very much become his signature move.
Yep.. the mark gormley power stance.. lol. I actually dig this chill warm song..
I call it the Gormley 2 Step
2023 and this track still holds up
We need it now more than ever. May Mark guide us through hardship.
R.I.P to Mark Gormley
track hold up entire music industry
I imagine this is what echoes in your mind when you've finally passed away and you're hurtling through space and time towards the great beyond.
I'm gonna be really disappointed if this doesn't happen.
I would be quite satisfied.
I like a deep thoughts.🌌
that's how I feel. that's why I cry wen I hear it. touches somewhere deep in unconsciousness
This man's singing is like the whisper of God.
Yes
Indeed
😭🤣😭🤣😭😭😭😭🤣😭🤣🤣🤣
The whisting solo at the end is 🔥
I had to unlike this to keep it at 420 😂 but yes you are CORRECT
I was prepared to mock this guy, but actually... the song is quite good.
It's amazing
RIP Mark Gormley. Passed away May 24th, 2024. Thank you for all of the sick tracks.
I came here to laugh and now I'm leaving almost in tears. This was beautiful thank you Mark.
Beutiful. Unexpected. I wept.
It's OK, most of us have a similar story, I was willing to accept I got it wrong and was grateful to bear witness to such beautiful expression of love.
Glad to read all the positive comments here
Is just because he is good
He’s incredible
Nothing but love for the Gorm.
Gorm is even hood certified
Proof that Mark wasn’t just a One Hit Wonder. The Power Stance will forever live in our hearts thru this man’s brilliance.
Adopt / cry/ pray
I hope Mark's doing well during this quarantine.
The world needs his music now more than ever
he actually wrote a book a few years ago
Samesies
I think he died a few years ago
Do you have proof of this, please friend?

Bill and Ted's excellent adventure was modeled after Gormley , he will unite everyone on earth 🌎🌍
Hell yea
It’s not about wings
I know, right. Guy is legit a rockstar. Like is this really good
All this time I wondered if he meant boneless wings or not 🤷♂️
Gormley, gone but not forgotten. Taken away on little wings too soon
Mark Gormley uses some really interesting melodic structures in his song writing. It's an eerie blend of folk and 1970's psychedelic rock reminiscent of Simon & Garfunkel covering Led Zeppelin.
It's his own unique brand. I bet he could've got quite the following if he would've found success in those days
The whistling at the end elevates it to a whole other level of genius.
Nearly in tears over here! Brilliant!
We all wanna soar
It's like the Harmonica at the end of "My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)" by Niel Young. Just the perfect end to a instant immortal folk classic
I actually like this song alot.. reminds me of a 1967 acid trip.
Joe Collings that’s the funny thing. If it came out in the prog rock days no one would bat eyelid
The ocular response by Tommy Robenetti, when Phil Thomas Katt describes himself as flamboyant, is pure dilithium Crystal comedy gold🤣🤣
took the words right out of my mouth
It's been a long time I had a laugh like this! If only Tommy Robinetti knew... 😂
I was here 17 years ago.
I'm here now.
Thank you Mark. RIP

You are doing the gorms work.
Thank you so much!!!!! I’ve been trying to play this for a very long time
I'm so playing this at open mic
You forgot the bridge.
This is actually a really good song.
LITTLE WINGS
Little wings, can you make the flight
The rain is getting heavy. There's a storm tonight
A summer drive home, the ocean close below
Will you make the morning light? Oh, little wings in flight
The path you weave, most certain to achieve
The everlasting will of little wings in flight
Do you feel weary? Time is marching slowly
Nothing matters more than little wings in flight
Do you think that you'll find your way
Little foolish wings tossed about in the wind of fate
Do you hope? Do you think you stand a chance
The wind is steering colder. The sea is growing bolder, little wings
Do you hear the water on the rock though
I do believe you can make it through
Oh, little wings. The spirit is you
All you need to do is fly away
Hey-ay, little wings, fly away
Little wings, can you feel the bite
The end's a little nearer, everything will be alright
Little wings, can you fly a little stronger
The shore can't be much farther. It won't be much longer, little wings
Little wings. Oh, good bye little wings
Your journey is over. Are you sleeping peacefully
Try, try again. Try again some other time
Everything remains except the sound of your little wings in flight
In flight
In flight

Tommy Robinetti couldn't handle Phil Thomas Katt's FLAMBOYANCE.
The bridge is a pure beauty. I hope Mark is seeing this comment section. His talent has won.
I come here every few years to watch this. Shocked to hear of his passing. Rest in peace buddy.
I met him years ago when he was trying out 'the stance'. He couldn't get the balance quite right and kept falling over to the side. I knew then that if he perfected it some day, it would cause us to rethink the very fabric of the universe.
Kept falling over hahahah
Underrated comment.
😂
Tommy Robinetti has seen some shit.
Lmao!!
Lol
He's seen Mark Gormley without sunglasses on
Reg Davey hahaha .that 1000 yrd stare that tells a tale too frightening for words hahaha
Haha he really, really has
Still has more talent then the whole current top 40.
Understatement of the decade.
this comment is still absolutely 100% relevant!
This still holds up in 2023
We should all feel profoundly lucky to witness a poet from the seventies in 2018. God bless Mark.
Oh Mark. So many people have gone, but the music will never go. RIP.
I don't care really, the melody is catchy and the guitar track is awesome.
The special effects just adds to the whole experience.
Truly a masterpiece of our time.
Does Mark know that he has an entire fanbase in RUclips? He should.
This guy can legitimately sing! Am I alone on this?
No, you're not alone! I saw his video "Without You" being ridiculed on Smoking Gun (by ex-con celebrities), watched it on RUclips a couple of times & bought his CD. It's on my iPods now.
how many ipods?
You can never truly be alone once you've heard Mark Gormley sing
Not at all, he has a great 70s sort of style
Close your eyes its like the 60s again...
"Your journey's over, are you sleeping peacefully" hits way different now. I found this treasure by accident about 10 years ago, and have been obsessed with his music. RIP

I think both.
Rest in Peace. A legend, a voice, a pure spirit. Thanks for the songs, Mr. Gormley.
I am having a literal Mark Gormley tribute weekend starting tomorrow. I just learned he is gone. RIP to the uncharted legend!
what perfect weight distribution....the timing and grace of the power stance is indescribably beautiful and unmatched
I can't stop thinking about Mark Gormley. All of his songs are actually beautiful. I hope he found the love he deserved.
Been following mark gormley since I was 20 I'm 35 now! This guy could seriously of been one of the biggest of all time!!!

So apparently he passed away last week May 2024. RIP Mark 🕊️🪽
Oh my god when he said "the flamboyant" Tommy's face is amazing
Thank you for making me notice that xDDDDDDDDDD

Totally.
Rest in Peace, Mark Gormley. Thank you for your service to your country and to music.
this is the next Robert Plant.
No, Robert Plant was the next Mark Gormley.
Rest in peace to this utter legend. May your little wings carry you to serenity.
Coming back to this masterpiece. Rest in Peace to Mark Gormley.
May your wings help you take flight to the great beyond, and may we all be so lucky to meet you there when it's time for our little wings to make that same flight.
