This song is a fucking masterpiece. People who compose this music leave me in awe that the can channel/create this incredible music. It's transformative and, if there's such a word, transportative in that it takes me to a much deeper and magical world.
Was at this gig - WO still seemed like the cognoscenti’s secret at this point - my word did he go on to even greater things... what a talent. Beth did alright too...
And you start swimming and swimming And swimming and swimming And you never stop swimming until you reach the ocean And you're swimming into the sunset without me And I find myself suddenly waking up And there are four young girls Giving me water from a vine leaf Just dropping it onto my tongue Nothing more You surround me Break on through Release me Nothing more......
this is such an original piece of music, not to mention this performance! (!!) we are so lucky to experience this! through time! and space... perfection and artistic "ecstasy" -- being for the work as it is being made ... performed ..the rest of the world does not exist... amazing, really... true art...
Please tell us where this was performed!! Absolute masterpiece...no one left anything on the?? that nite. Im so blessed my children take the time to appreciate the genius Willy &all the talent he encompasses&may i say 'nurtures'. We all know exactly where we were when this song played.... climbing the coastal pass(hwy 26) from home to meet Badens daddy, Motshwari Obopile@#12 in Rockaway Beach, Oregon. Turn our children/loved ones/perfect strangers onto the magic that is music folks!!
Beth’s chanteuse drone voice is incredible. Like Nico in “All Tomorrow’s Parties.” Orton decimates this song. She creates the atmosphere that encompasses the repetition in lyrics. It’s so damn good. Like epically good. Kudos to Orbit for creating just the right circumstances for excellence. As he has always done. Great musicians, great consistency, incredibly good cohesion of sound. Especially for 1995. It’s almost difficult to imagine this was 30 years ago next year. 🤯🤯🍄🟫🍄🟫 To have been at this show…. Wonder if there are other video archive performances of WFAVL that exist with Beth singing. She’s just so damn good. Bravo. Legend. 5:19
Nice, i had the privilege to do quite a bit of live acts, unfortunately not William Orbit, only Alva Noto, Ryuichi Sakamoto, etc :) Those cracks are probably from crash cymbal hitting mic stand.
An experience that I cannot explain. Draws me in and draws me out and just keeping going in a circle, I always end up at the beginning which has no end. Mind blowing,Mystical,They tapped into something not from our time. Could it the past or the future?….Or both I have entered the “ Twilight Zone”
I hope we don't have to wait until William Orbit's dead before he gets the accolades he deserves. He is a true genius, and a criminally unknown one at that. he prodiuced Madonna's only masterpiece, and then suffered from severe depression. So sad, but he's doing much better
Thank you so much for this video! I have had such a hard time finding live video from this GENIUS. I am trying to gather more videos to make a playlist of William Orbit and I will make sure that in my description that you get credit for uploading this obscure footage. When I finish it I will let you know so we can share! If you like Orbit, you will more than likely appreciate AIR, come to my channel & check out my AIR playlist. Take care. BIG Thankx again! ~pamela
Hi what show was this from.? Awesome thanks, saw WO twice in the day? And have most of Beth’s and WO s albums. What a time for music, still goes on. All love Namaste
I don't hate it and I am a big fan of both William Orbit and Beth Orton. However... in this performance Beth Orton is in some parts of the song singing slightly out of tune. I am only mentioning this because I experience real physical pain in my head and guts listening to someone not hitting the perfect note ( I hate that about myself but I can't help it ) That is the reason I never go to live performances. If someone can relate please enlighten me about why I get that experience.
Beautiful live version of one of my favorite songs ever!
Same, this song changed my life
I am so glad to have found this after so many years of LOVING this song. I actually felt tears welling up. This is so incredible!
It's a masterpiece what a combination 😁😊
Release me . . .
Amazing version of an amazing song. Gives me flashbacks from all the acid I took in the 90s
I would love to see this live today with both Beth Orton and William Orbit!!! 😭😭😭
William Orbit is without doubt one of this country's greatest unsung artists
They have the same last name.
is it possible? hmmmmmm... stars aligning
I love UA-cam and the internet so much. A chance to see truly great music that I missed out on seeing when it was released and/or "hot". Thanks!

Mind your language.
@@oldones59 mind your own bidniz, prude
Dude I so so agree.. this man's music changed my life
It is very rare i agree with comments on you tube. I do however concur. Orbit is simply a legend.
I cannot watch this enough! So brilliant to see this live! I must go now as I'm going to watch it again! 😄😄
God bless the uploader of this video. You reached freaking sainthood !
William Orbit and Beth Orton were meant for this. Awesome Music.
Was at this gig - WO still seemed like the cognoscenti’s secret at this point - my word did he go on to even greater things... what a talent. Beth did alright too...
Nice one, I'd never heard this live before. It's great when a bedroom genius takes music live, Banco de Gaia live band was banging !
"Bedroom music" indeed... good one.
just pure, raw emotion. Orbit and Orton are geniuses.
so many memories 🖤 There's a before and after the first time I heard this song...
And you start swimming and swimming
And swimming and swimming
And you never stop swimming until you reach the ocean
And you're swimming into the sunset without me
And I find myself suddenly waking up
And there are four young girls
Giving me water from a vine leaf
Just dropping it onto my tongue
Nothing more
You surround me
Break on through
Release me
Nothing more......
AMBIENT music LIVE with the young Beth Orton on the mic! LEGENDARY! 🔥
Gives me goosebumps...every time.
just discovered this live version in 2018!
You are 4 years ahead of me LOL.. What a find !! : )
My goodness ! The live performance is as good as if not better than the album studio version.
Absolutely wonderful, love it 😍😍😍
A truly beautiful piece of music.
Just Excellent!....Thanks for sharing!
Just so lovely ❤
Oh man, what a peformance. I would love to see and hear that live. Just amazing.
When this track broke in 1994, we played the hell out of it at The Zone in Downtown Beaumont!
Was it 94? Shoot, man.
Who cares Nothing worth talking about comes out of your country
i am born 1987. i die in peace because i was able to hear this song.i want nothing more.
Mr. Wainwright...like no other ! RIGHTEOUS !
Hi have had this album for many years and its awesome to see this live performance. GREAT!"
this is such an original piece of music, not to mention this performance! (!!)
we are so lucky to experience this! through time! and space...
perfection and artistic "ecstasy" -- being for the work as it is being made ... performed ..the rest of the world does not exist...
amazing, really... true art...
Yep, Peter. Agree!
The best version.
This is gold, how have I missed this. THX
I heart Beth!!
I loved William Orbit and her music! I wish they released more :(

drums, synth, bass.... all there. Theres a Seale song that starts out like this. lol
Holy crap :)
Real pity about the glitches. This is so amazing.
Sound so clean....

William Orbit is obviously a genius…
