I'm from Australia and I've been listening to this song everyday for the last few months. I've been terribly depressed and this song makes me feel like there is an undeniable light in each day. It makes me smile amoung the frowns. It's so beautiful, it reminds me life is beautiful too and not to give up. Thankyou.
I went through a similar spell. What helped me was to pick up an instrument and learn to play it. As I had never done that before, it was baby steps all the way. But learning, playing, and singing help keep the depression in check. For me at least.
The scene :Many years ago on my way by foot to a little corner paper shop, 6am ,dark as midnight and the wind was blowing a real hooley…, it was tipping it down on a morning not fit for neither man nor beast..As I neared my destination I spied a solitary figure coming toward me, an old man, certainly in his 80’s ,bowed over with a tight grasp of his coat lapels in the hope of keeping warm on such a morning. I was virtually soaked to the pelt and regretting going on the errand I had foolishly set myself.. AS we met I exclaimed to the old man ‘ That’s a really badddd day’ in reference to the weather.. Suddenly I felt a hand on my collar as I edged past ,stopping me in my tracks.. The old man lifted his head, looked clearly into my eyes and said ‘ SON, you haven’t seen a bad day yet !…. I never forgot that old man’s timely few words…There is no such thing as darkness, it simply doesn’t exist, it is a non entity,it is only the absence of light…. Look for the light in life, it effortlessly washes the darkness away…..😊
Hallo Hartwin en Ward ,we hebben jullie clip 2 weken terug laten horen bij de wake en uitvaart van mijn moeder Zo mooi sfeervol en ontroerend ,dank jullie voor deze zo mooie onvergetelijke melodie die zoveel voor mij is gaan betekenen Ellen
Dag Ellen. Bedankt voor je mooi bericht. Mooi om te horen dat onze muziek zo veel voor jou is gaan betekenen en dat je ons nummer hebt gebruikt op de wake. Veel sterkte en hartelijke groeten!
Every now and then a piece comes into your life that stops you in your tracks. Driven with a passion to experience playing something so inspiring, having barely touched my Octave mandolin for many months, I've barely put it down for the past four days. Lacking a lot of embellishment and finesse, but I've almost worked it out. I can't wait to see you guys in the UK some day. Keep up the good work.
This song was so beautiful that I had to learn it on my fiddle. Very well done, gentlemen. I am glad I discovered you in my UA-cam travels. Keep up the great work.
Just saw you in Nürtingen together with Akleja and I was amazed. Maybe you find some other pieces that go well together, because as a quartet, it went together really well and the musical power of you as a quartet was absolutely overwhelming.
Incredible, is that an octave mandolin or a bouzouki? (or a mandola??) And what's its tuning? Anyway, it sounds so amazing, warm and full. What an instrument
@@sigerband sweet, thank you! I had just bought an octave mandolin myself and was looking for music to learn, so stumbled upon this. Your instrument is on another league though haha. Btw love your music and the Trio Dhoore too!

Thanks for your beautiful message. Hang in there and all the best from Belgium!

Sublime - that Shippey octave mandolin and the button accordion are a marriage made in heaven.
Absolutely beautiful!
Beautiful.

J'ai du écouter le morceau une vingtaine de fois à la suite. C'est si calme, si posé, ca me rappelle ma jeunesse.
Super! Merci!

Helo dear

Is this Cittern? Or irish bouzuoki?
So beautiful music ❤ love it
Haunting, thanks for posting
I am so very glad that I found this. Thank you.
That was really lovely. I've never heard you play or this piece performed before. Well-done.
That’s an interesting combination of sounds. They go well together!
Well done , great blend on a beautiful piece .
Wonderful
simply superb...
No details for where the 'house concert' in Edinburgh will be on your website. Edinburgh is a big place with a lot of houses.
Wunderbar !!!

This video has 2.3k views atm. I believe 2.2k belongs to me.

Looks like a bouzouki to me I think they're usually GDAD
Thanks you! It's an octave mandolin in GDAE made by Paul Shippey (UK)

@@PichettoFratame Lovely, good luck with it and best wishes!
Very cool , guys!!!!
Very nice!
What is the microphone you have strapped on the bouzouki? I would like it for live performing
Mooi!! als ik de bladmuziek kan vinden ga hem spelen
Sorry, is that an octave or bouzouki
Hi! This is an octave mandolin
Delicioso!
Absolutely excellent, and then the accordian came in. :(
I truly enjoy when the accordian joins. It adds those "bass notes" we needed so that the balance is perfect and it's really well played :D
