I made a no-budget-video for one of my favorite Big Big Train songs. Or maybe one of my favorite songs ever. I hope you like it. Or you can ignore the video and just enjoy the beautiful music ;-)
Big Big Train is the BEST Prog Band in the world!!! Hear all them!!
That guitar solo and flute run at the end are absolute heart breakers. Time for a manful wibble of the upper lip. Again...
RIP David, thanks for this beautiful song
This is beautiful and it’s even more so poignant now with the very sad passing of David … this is a beautiful video and really does justice to the beautiful music…and such a beautiful young lady
Yes tragic news of the passing away of the wonderful David Longdon. His mellifluous voice will always light up wintery days.
There has never been a time where I’ve listened to this song and not cried. ✨💔✨
She likes to walk
Down the lanes to the fields
In the woods she finds a stream
The water feels cold in the cup of her hands
Down among the trees
She spies butterflies
Against the leaves
With one brush of her hand
They are captured and taken
From the top of the hill
Looking over the edge
So far out of reach
Further and further away
She likes to see
All the colours of the wings beneath the glass
Then she turns down the light
To keep them from fading away
She likes to walk
By the stream down to the shore
From the source
To the sea
Looking over the edge
Where the sky meets the waves
So far out of reach
With just one step
She'd be free
With one bound, with one leap
A part we all play
Oh, the end is the start
Is the place where we came from
A part we all play
Oh, the end is the start
Is the place where we came from
Looking over the edge
Counting the waves
Follow the faultlines
Up the side of the hill
All the marks of an ancient sea
You can see the traces
At the end of the hedgerow
Out of the field
Looking over the edge
As far as you can see
Under the ordinary light
She loved the colours of the wings against the green
The first thing she saw and the last she hopes to see
The parts we play, the start the end and everything,
Everything in between
She likes to walk
By the stream down to the shore
From the source
To the sea
Looking over the edge
Where the sky meets the waves
So far out of reach
With just one step
She'd be free

Lovely song, lyrics, video. All of Big Big Train makes is beautiful!!
Wow! Most beautiful song Ive ever heard.
Amazing Job !! Last August, I flew from Mexico to witness the third concert of Big Big Train in Kings Place's Theater, in London. Your job could easily have been show during this song. You made me remember all the emotions experienced during the concert. thank you !!
Those are really kind words. Thank you! I travelled from Holland for the saturday-show. To me, it was..., well..., heaven.
Amazing, blown away. This has to be one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard
no other words, just beautiful, thank you xx
And what a wonderful video it is. Until I had read your comments above, I believed this to be a professional promo by BBT. I hope you produce more of this ilk; simply beautiful, as is the music.
This is absolutely glorious. Wonderful, great video too. Thanks
All BBT music is beautiful!!!.
Amazing. Tears of Sadness, Tears of Joy.
It's so beautiful they make me cry.
Prachtige beelden bij dit mooie nummer van deze fantastiche band!!
*Bloost
Dank je!
Excelente video! En mi opinión, la mejor banda de los últimos tiempos. Y David la mejor voz que escuché en años. Saludos desde Argentina
Great to know Big Big Train have reached Argentina!
Beautiful track.
Shes lovely
Lovely film to accompany a fine song.
Thanks!
Loved it. BBT is something else. Excellent visualization of the song. Keep up the great work
Muito Bom! Great! Gracias! Merci Bocu! Magnifico! 貴人! Herrliche! :)
Absolute wonderfull
Best band in the world and one of their absolutely finest songs. Just a fantastic video to accompany it! Top job, Johan!!
+Torbjörn Janson Thanks! Just a few days until the release of Folklore. It will blow your mind!
Good Lord what rock have you been living under? There are far better bands than this. these are just a Genesis style rip-off. and pretty bland to boot.
@@millicent7368 Modern prog rock starting from the 90s is too bland in general, lacks creativity and not so memorable. Big Big Train and Deadsoul Tribe are the only decent bands I've heard in the last two decades. Now going back to the early 70s, there were many great bands but Genesis peaked at Foxtrot, anything that came after that album were utter shit.
MARAVILHOSA
Not my preferred type of channel but u deserved like 10 x more subs
❤✨
Wonderful song - the video makes me slightly queasy as she goes around catching and exterminating lovely butterflies though!
Opera D'arte
😢😢❤️❤️👍🏼
It's pretty! But I don't think you've thought about the lyrics:
Looking over the edge....
With just one step,
She'd be free
who hasn't?
@@augustblue5972 Good point. I think I posted this as a response to a since-deleted comment.
It is also one of my top favourite songs by BBT. I do like this type of slower, melancholy songs, with big endings, I enjoy their use of a small brass band too, while I usually don't enjoy brass so much, because it's not in a jazz context, actually... BBT are becoming more renowned at last.... a little bit at least.
And the video is really cool. :o)) Where do the images come from ?
Muy bueno el video!! ¿alguien podría poner este video con subtítulos en español? (pero con una buena traducción)
Just imagine it. You fly through the wildness of the untamed nature. Wild and free.
Then comes some human being, catches you with its tools, sticks you to death and preserves your natural perfection just for the sake of it.
So that the human being can enjoy your colors and shapes. For nothing more.
Can there possibly be anything more romantic than being tortured, killed and preserved just for the sake of being adored for your visuals? It's passionate!
...
Don't get me wrong: I love that song. The music is amazing.
But the lyrical topic is just way too questionable if you overthink about it. :P
New; 🇮🇲 Anthem? 👍🏼
To the thumbs down, go & listen to your James Arthur, Lewis capaldi, Ed sheeran records!!!
I love the song, but the video is not for me. I thought the song was about someone who helped butterflies - breed in captivity and then released them "and she is free", but the video is about catching and killing defenceless butterflies to display them as art. Great disappointment. I wish I hadn't seen it.
sorry. but I think you simply understood nothing.
just watch up to the end of the video and you will see...
@@donavata Could you explain me the real meaning please
