I work in a home studio and I just want to say that I think this is one of the best mixed songs of all time. The empty spots sound full and the full spots sound clear. Awesome stuff.
Have listened to this piece continuously since watching, SMOTHER, a tv series. It is an addictive composition. LOVE LOVE LOVE...
my spotify randomly played this song when I was driving.. this song goes straight to my heart. my best achievement for this year haha
Same, while I was working, what a gem😇
Same. Another listen?...
this is one of my favourite songs ever. just has so much in it.
Don’t be too sure. It’s just a trick of the light...
Its a beautiful song for sure

Omg this song brings back memories!
This deserves way more views, this song is so underrated. Loved it since it came out, it doesn't get old! Im sure more people will catch on eventually.
From the start of the lyrics. Made me cry.. and giggle. And want to dance. Wow. Finding this song just now is pure medicine for my soul!!!
The only thing I'm not confused about is how amazing this song is! I'm glad that there's still some darkness left in the music. Absolutely love you Conor.
"I'm glad that there's still some darkness left in the music" ? Show me some light or inspirational music in the mainstream, I'll show you 3 dark ones on each of your choice. In fact, I consider this the rare positive example of today's music
you will be surprised, today I heard this song on Russian romantic radio and I really liked it. Thank you. It's very touching, mocking, stylish. You are not an ordinary person and you must definitely continue
When he says there's an ocean in his body, he means it is vast, mysterious, or unknown. When he says that there is a river in my soul, he means that who he is in his hearts of hearts, it flows endless.
What does a river do? --it flows into an ocean.
He is saying that his soul flows endlessly outward into his body, which makes the person you see.
He is also acknowledging that perhaps who you think you see as the person you see in front of you isn't really the person you think he is. That perhaps it is just the trick of light interferencing with your judgement of the truth of who you think he represents
or maybe they're just lyrics, i don't really like to think though so OKIE-DOKIE
I really liked this analysis :)
Don't over think it, mate. It's just a pop song, not a lost gospel.
The ocean can also symbolize the blood of Christ and the gift of life being the river. Human civilizations always started along rivers, where food was plentiful and the soil is fertile. The ocean is the body, and the currents are the electrical/chemical nerve paths.
Tony Wheeler u must not be that connected to music if u think a song like this shouldn’t or doesn’t have deeper meanings
Random Black (mostly into Hip-Hop) guy here.....this is a really fucking good song...like really good
i`m 42, and boy oh boy, this song has nailed my thoughts more than everything i`ve ever heard.
Happy 44th Birthday dude.
Good catch ;)
Happy 47th!
@@kristinsther9024 🤣must have been a typo as it's 49 this year...still adore that song and looking forward to the new album!
Just listening on repeat for months now
Thanks for this.
Bass line is amazing. This is an underrated song
Great to be a fan of Irish music again. You've outdone yourselves, Villagers.
We can only control our own actions. In doing so we change so many things for ourselves. You deserve it. You can and you will do it.
2:00 that bridge is incredible. The tension in the chords is excellent, perfectly placed in the arrangement! What a great track
Love the track for opposing reason
A so underrated song
How the fuck can it be underrated when it's just been released you tosser.
@@EnosEverything haha exactly
@@EnosEverything cause i Think this song deserves more Views...
You mean BECAUSE... not cause.
I so agree
Discovered this song because of the show “smother” ❤
Speechless...emotions, feelings, so much talent, amazing music, great lyrics...just one of the best songs ever...
I love this song!!!!!!!!
This song came to my box this morning, after I said my goodbyes to my dearest friend, who lost her battle with cancer.... Coincidental?? Love Conor's deep lyrics and melody ..
This is ace... Can anyone else hear 'Just the two of us'? (Bill Withers melody)...Especially in the bass line
My first thought when I heard this
I can also hear some of "Something About Us" by Daft Punk. :)
For sure it’s Just the Two of Us chord pattern.
I can't unhear What You Won't Do For Love - Bobby Caldwell
Yes. Thank you!!! That's been bugging me, a lot, and I couldn't place it. :-)
Love this video, and song. Bass line reminds me of Just The Two Of Us.
Since they don't turn on the subtitle service, so I put my Mandarin translate here.
love this song so much #中文翻譯
[Verse 1]
My heart is spilling over
Crashing on the ground
I can’t see what’s around me
But soon I’ll come round
我的心意滿溢而出
撞到地面
我不知道是什麼籠罩了我
但很快我將會明白
My faith is in the balance
Of a million tiny words
So I return to silence
我的信心懸盪不安
億萬詞語充斥
所以我轉而沉默
[Chorus]
And if I see a sign in the sky tonight
No one’s gonna tell me it’s a trick of the light
May never come but I’m willing to wait
What can I say? I’m a man of the faith
And there’s an ocean in my body
And there’s a river in my soul
And I’m crying
如果我今晚看到一個暗示出現在夜空
不會有人告訴我那只是一個錯覺
也許這永遠不會發生但我很樂意等待
我能說什麼？我是一個有信心的男人
而我身體裡有片海洋
而我的靈魂裡有條河
而我在哭泣
[Verse 2]
It’s time that I let go
Of things I can’t control
This path that I’ve taken
Is the only one I know
Well I’ve come so far to get here
And I’ve got so far to go
So I’ll take what I can get
In matters of the soul
是時候該放手
放手那些所有我不能掌控的
我曾擁有這條小徑
這是唯一我知道的
我走了這麼遠來到這裡
所以我要拿走任何我能拿到的
關於這靈魂的路徒
[Chorus]
And if I see a sign in the sky tonight
No one’s gonna tell me it’s a trick of the light
May never come but I’m willing to wait
What can I say? I’m a man of the faith
And there’s an ocean in my body
And there’s a river in my soul
And I’m crying
如果我今晚看到一個暗示出現在夜空
不會有人告訴我那只是一個錯覺
也許這永遠不會發生但我很樂意等待
我能說什麼？我是一個有信心的男人
而我身體裡有片海洋
而我的靈魂裡有條河
而我在哭泣
[Bridge]
And we are the dawn
And we carry the sun
And we are the dawn
And we carry the sun
而我們就是黎明
並且帶上了太陽
而我們就是黎明
並且帶上了太陽
[Chorus]
And if I see a sign in the sky tonight
No one’s gonna tell me it’s a trick of the light
May never come but I’m willing to wait
What can I say? I’m a man of the faith
And there’s an ocean in my body
And there’s a river in my soul
And I’m crying
And if I see a sign in the sky tonight (See it coming)
No one’s gonna tell me it’s a trick of the light (Feel it coming)
May never come but I’m willing to wait
What can I say? I’m a man of the faith
And there’s an ocean in my body
And there’s a river in my soul
And I’m crying
如果我今晚看到一個暗示出現在夜空
不會有人告訴我那只是一個錯覺
也許這永遠不會發生但我很樂意等待
我能說什麼？我是一個有信心的男人
而我身體裡有片海洋
而我的靈魂裡有條河
而我在哭泣
如果我今晚看到一個暗示出現在夜空（看吶它正來了）
不會有人告訴我那只是一個錯覺（感覺它來了）
也許這永遠不會發生但我很樂意等待
我能說什麼？我是一個有信心的男人
而我身體裡有片海洋
而我的靈魂裡有條河
而我在哭泣
So nice to hear that his music has reached so far beyond our little island
Thank you for this.
awesome
Im afraid the comment section is reserved for Americans, son 😉
Been obsessed with this song for years. Hidden gem
beautiful and emotional . a trickster of light .
(there's an ocean in my body, there's a river in my soul ...my heart is crushing on the ground, so i return to silence)
My heart is spilling over
Crashing on the ground
I can't see what's around me
But soon I'll come round
My faith is in the balance
Of a million tiny words
So I return to silence
{Chorus}
And if I see a sign in the sky tonight
No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light
May never come but I'm willing to wait
What can I say I'm a man of the faith
There's an ocean in my body
There's a river in my soul
And I'm crying
It's time that I let go
Of things I can't control
This path that I've taken
Is the only one I know
Well I've come so far to get here
And I've got so far to go
So I'll take what I can get
In matters of the soul
{Chorus}
And if I see a sign in the sky tonight
No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light
May never come but I'm willing to wait
What can I say I'm a man of the faith
There's an ocean in my body
There's a river in my soul
And I'm crying
{bridge}
And we are the dawn
And we carry the sun
And we are the dawn
And we carry the sun
{Chorus}
And if I see a sign in the sky tonight
No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light
May never come but I'm willing to wait
What can I say I'm a man of the faith
There's an ocean in my body
There's a river in my soul
And I'm crying
And if I see a sign in the sky tonight (See it coming)
No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light (Feel it coming)
May never come but I'm willing to wait
What can I say I'm a man of the faith
There's an ocean in my body
There's a river in my soul
And I'm crying

Omg...this song is so incredibly beautiful...lyrics are just at point...never going to be able thank my friend enough for sending me this pure masterpiece ❤❤❤❤
This is such an underrated song.
This is my go to song when im stressed out, such a relaxing and smooth sound.
Excellent news and song. Made my day...
Looking forward for the full album and next tour... Thank you...
I only got introduced to Villagers tonight by chance.
I was treating our lass to a meal for her birthday, right next door to the venue they were gigging.
I googled “what’s on in Leeds” and couldn’t get a ticket due to a sell out! Anyway just as we were finishing our meal a random woman walked from the other side of the restaurant (no way of knowing we were looking for tickets btw) explaining she had 2 spare tickets to “a band that where playing next door cos her son couldn’t make it! love, luck, coincidence, who gives a fuck? It was like both our birthdays at once!
I'm wondering if you love them now and cried to this song as much as I did right now
What a fucking story, man!!!
Found this song on Dallas late night radio. It was like 2am and I was blown away when I heard this song.
Love the song ❤️❤️❤️.
This is so beautiful. Need an acoustic version already!
stone-old classic lyrics, perfect music, a bittersweet gift for this summer x
Just perfect. This is exactly what my soul needs right now. Many thanks for sharing this beautifully powerful masterpiece with us all ❤️
Been listening to this song for about 3 weeks and cannot stop. Love it and the whole album. 🖤
This melody is magnificent
This is one of the greatest songs ever made
This has been one of my very favorite songs since it first came out. I always listen to this song when I'm feeling depressed, it always makes me feel better

but Mr.Conor made us smile again and gave us a definition of life once again
Why am I just now finding this... smh... LOVE
Just heard this band on 88.5 FM Los Angeles…thank you for introducing me👍Lovely tunes.
Perfect. Love the lyrics and the outro is pure distilled emotion

Beautiful day outside, and a fantastic video to make it even better! And it has a chance of getting even better since it is a studio day... 💛💘💚
Why isn’t everyone listening to this awesome song
gemaf because they’re not awesome like us.
It's been done. It's an almost dead-on cover of "just the two of us" for sure. Ripoff city:)
Every time he brings out new stuff it sounds so pure and fresh, like he's just started making music. The sign of a really good songwriter, and in my honest opinion one of the best around right now.
Nothing makes me happier than a new Villagers album. Rock on Conor!
That's made my day :)
September is a while away - in the meantime I'll be wearing out UA-cam listening to this...
wooow this song gave me such a special vibe! loved it :D
AHHHH THIS IS GREAT AND CONOR YOU LOOK AMAZING
Such a beautiful song
Heard this song when boarding a flight on delta. Love it
What a fun music video. I was literally just laughing as I watched it. Love this song!
Great Stuff, Very Jim James which I naturally adore!
This is great. So catchy
Best and most talented band to come out of Ireland in a long long time
Amazing song!!
What an amazing talent this guy is.
I needed this badly! It's the opposite of everything shitty going on in the world right now. Thank you universe for Villagers...and RuPaul's Drag Race.
I swear to god I am having a really shitty day and I've paused RuPaul to listen to this song because it popped into my head. If I could screenshot I would haha. Hope things are getting better
I will always love Spotify algorithm for recommending this jewel to me. ❤️🔥
Found this on spotify randomly and was so happy it came up
Awesome piece of art!!
Classic Video, nailed it
This and BC Camplight's "I'm Desperate" are the songs of the year.
Gorgeous!
Crazy cool to my ears! greetings from Trinidad and Tobago
I can't stop listening to this beautiful song
Incredible song and beautiful video
Great song!!!
LOVELY STUFF

Just heard this song from this series I am watching "smother".. I love the song and I am enjoying the series as well.
Always coming back to this song because, damn, that is some masterful triangle playing I can hear.
Such a great song....
Such a beautiful song.
