Best of MikeOldfield: goo.gl/5FqCWf Subscribe here: goo.gl/xRrbjs Music video by Mike Oldfield performing Wonderful Land. (C) 1980 Mercury Records Limited
Seit vielen Jahrzehnten höre ich diese Musik wahnsinnig gerne. Sie ist zeitlos, emotional, gibt Freude. Man kann sie auch noch in 50 Jahren weiter hören. Wundervoll und herzergreifend. Ich bin froh 1999 ein Konzert in Bonn miterlebt zu haben. Wunderbare Erinnerung.
Mike Oldfield und Kate Bush , 2 musische Genies die ich das Glück habe seit Jahrzehnten verfolgen zu dürfen. Bis heute bin ich förmlich euphorisiert wenn ich diese Musik höre. Das Konzert in Bonn war übrigens klasse.
Ich höre seine Musik auch immer wieder gerne,und das auch schon seit zig Jahren. Leider habe ich nie ein Konzert von ihm gesehen,aber die Konzerte die ich auf DVD hab, sehe ich mir auch immer wieder gern an . Er ist einfach ein Top Musiker 👍🙂
Genius is the word that comes to mind,he left school at 16 to follow his dreams to become a full time musician, he certainly wasnt dreaming there are not to many Mike Oldfields,greetings from Ireland.
If you listen to this, great taste, i grew up with his music, im a 70s and 80s child now 51.i dont know any other music that can beat this, though i listen to most music types, i dont necessarily love all, or believe in it, except stuff to my taste.
Have you been living under a rock? Oldfield was the first artist signed by Richard Branson to Virgin Records in 1972. Tubular bells was in the works for years.
Szép, megható, elandalító, balladaszerű, elgondolkodtató , elmeséli a Föld Történetét, és az emberek Életét is végigkíséri, születésétől, haláláig, közben bemutatja, milyen csodálatos hely a mi bolygónk! Tehetséges zenész Mike Oldfield, és igazi művész!- Gratulálok!! Minden emberre jó hatással van ez a Költemény!
This Song reminds me of my deceased father who died from Creutzfeld-Jakob-Disease. It has been his ringtone for my entire life and I am always tearing up listening to this beautiful song remembering the years that I had with him. After over 10 years I finally realized how great this song is and how masterfully it's been done
I helped care for my step father through Parkinsons. A few hours after he died i was walking round to my sisters to smoke a number, put his ipod on random and out of 1200 songs this came on. I'm not a spirtual person however it really felt like he was reaching beyond the grave to play this astounding piece of music. Gbnf!!
I don't know why, but this song touches me so much that I always have to struggle with tears when I hear it...I would like to know myself why? It's not grief...it's something very special that grips me there...
Awesome song very very talented musician. I think as we get older we appreciate music. I had never listened to mike oldfield a year ago. Heard a song on radio 2 then hey how hooked on good old songs
I knew this song firstly from the Shadows (when I was just 9 yrs old in early 60's) and the first time I knew Mike Oldfield is from his Tubular Bells album (when I was about 17). Till today I love the songs from both The Shadows and Mike Oldfield's...
It was 1990 and I was alone and lost. I was 16, damaged and lost. I found confort in this song and I also found hope, it helped me imagine how amazing things would be. And I come back to it once a while to remember that time.
As I recall this piece was originally by the Shadows and I loved it then, when Mike Oldfield added his magic it became a truly wonderful piece of music
Je connais Mike OLDFIELD depuis 1981 et je découvre encore des chef d'œuvres que je ne connaissais pas, surtout les lives. Cet homme est un génie et son groupe, certains membres de sa famille, sont tous excellents, que de talent, d'émotion, de joie !... J'adore quand Maggie chante, quelle voix cristalline et merveilleuse ! Dans To France, Familly man, Foreign affair.... C'est magnifique. Ce clip est touchant, belles images, une musique que personne d'autre au monde n'a jamais composée, son bébé est adorable, j'aime cette famille ! Temperence
Das ist der Inbegriff eines Oldfield Tracks. Es erinnert mich an meine Jugend. Hab es damals immer wieder im radio gehört und mir dann in den 80ern die CD gekauft. Heute dank Internet läuft es ununterbrochen. Ein Meisterwerk von einem der besten Musiker den es je gab und je geben wird. Danke Mike für deine Musik.
Mike Oldfield is one of the three modern music geniuses beside Tuomas Holopainen of Nightwish and Arjen Lucassen of Ayreon. Please understand me correctly, there has been a sh!tload of talented componists and musicians/performers in the past 60 years or so, but for me these three are the absolute top. A truly talented multi-instrumentalist, an unprecedentedly succesful career of 5 decades, gazillions of sold albums - but what grips the listener most - the pure raw emotions translated by Mike's music. Thank you Mike for letting us enjoy your music.
Hi Mike, I thank God above for your incredible talent. Your tireless efforts to develop this God given gift is very inspiring. If I’m a typical fan, my experience is that your music has been executed in such a way as to comfort lonely people, console the grieving, and encouraging problem over comers, while fussing anger. It inspires hope that God’s Love is all around in the physical beauty of this world. With sincere and humble respect, I Pray that you’ve discovered Jesus Christ in your spiritual journey. Seeing your talent in heaven would be amazing ✝️💜✝️ Thank You
Warum war mike bei den deutsch sprechenden so beliebt, egal welches lied du anklickst, massig an deutschen kommentaren. Es war einfach eine tolle zeit und seine musik ist einfach unvergesslich
Mein großer Bruder hatte mal die Platte ausgeliehen und bei uns Zuhause gespielt. Das ist jetzt Jahrzehnte her. Und ich erinnere mich an jeden einzelnen Ton. Was für eine großartige Musik!
I like very much the original version with The Shadows, but Mike Oldfield's version has so much sentiment in it that it's impossible not to like it and also very difficult sometimes to hold a tear. Beautiful !!!
Quite simply put... The sheer GENIUS of Mr Oldfield BLOWS ME AWAY to a far better land, THE WONDERLAND !!( ok, I may sound a bit corny, but I MEAN it!)
Mike wanted mine at his funeral and got it! I wanted Arrival to be played, then another great piece by Mr. Oldfield was played My parents even went to a concert with him, the 1st and only ... In Bremen, in 1982? Well then, I grew up with Mike Oldfield and I think the music is amazing, it's like My home and always reminds me of my dad. ♥ ️🎶💫👋✨🙃👍
In the 80's when i was only 10 years of age i found an album call QE2 and this beautiful song was on it and listening to it through headphones i felt an emotion that i had never felt before and so pathed the way to my love of music.
This guy's guitar sound pierces my soul,he is a unique guitarist,and a multi talented on a host of other Instruments ,You Top Banana Mike,I take my Hat off to you.Bless you and yours.
+CellarDoorAU Thanks, what a beautiful comment. May I ask where you have seen the angelic presence (real question), is it in the form of an orb? Wherever it was, it definitely fits to the soul of his music. Best wishes and blessings!
Absolute Mike's venerator here. And yet I have always considered paradoxal that one of the themes you most clearly notice the Oldfield-touch within, is this Shadows composition. I owe a lot to QE2: first MO song I ever heard was Sheba. And I instantaneously thought like "OMFG! (kinda, but in Spanish) WHO HAS POSSIBLY PUT TOGETHER A MUSIC LIKE THIS?" Not a second listen needed. And the Reading kid got me hooked until today. My personal choice: if you get inspired by this touch in a 3min format, go enjoy 37min of the same in Ommadawn - part 1. My preferred Mike Oldfield music ever.
This is magic and i remember when i am very young to hear this song. It was one favarite songs from my father. Thanks Mike for this wonderful and magical song
I played this album over and over in 1980 after seeing him at the Glasgow Apollo on the Platinum Mike Oldfield In Concert Tour. Great memories. Love you Mike.
Thinking about the little forest next to my bïrthplace. I listened it 8 years ago on the mountainbike in October 2013. It was magic and every time I hear this song I got emotional and thinking about that experience...
My favourite Jerry Lordan instrumental from the sixties and a big hit for the Shadows, Mike Oldfields Version Retains The enthusiasm of the original version . Optimism flows , combining with space for growth and a place to call home in this Wonderful Land.!
The sweet little child in this Music Video is his daughter, Molly - from his marriage of 7 years to a Sally Cooper which apparently lasted from 1979 to 1986. Molly was apparently the elder Sister of Dougal, who is the one who tragically died at only 33 years of age.
One of the 3 songs we played at my mother's funeral back in 2015. The other one by Mike Oldfield was 'Arrival' and the sun pierced the clouds when it was played...
Hello Mike, The Shadows where before my time so I became to know and love your version of Wonderful Land. As a 12 year old I saw you performing live at Zurich Hallenstadion - my very first big concert my parents brought me to =) it was a very magic moment in my life and is lasting as something outstanding untill today. Thank you for your great piece of music art !
+Daniela Koidl Very similar story here, only a few years ago I learned about the Shadows, but since my teenage years when Mike´s version was played in the German charts it has alway been HIS original song for me. My sister bought me his album QE2 (and also "Water Bearer", by his amazing sister Sally Oldfield, which I can wholeheartedly recommend!) and I also discovered his other, older albums like Hergest Ridge, Ommadawn, Tubular Bells and Incantations which I also just LOVED and which helped me a great deal during very difficult phases in my late teenage years. I was lucky enough to see him in concert in Passau, Bavaria, in the early 80s then during his "Five miles out" and "Crises" tour. Absolutely unforgettable, and although I at times have veered away a bit from him I always come back after years and his music (and this song, with which it all began!) still touch me to the core.. Yes, Mike, thank you so much for what you have shared with us! Und herzlichen Gruß und Segenswünsche an dich!
Das hätte meinem Papa bestimmt auch gut gefallen , wenn das auf Seiner Beerdigung gespielt worden wäre . Gespielt wurde stattdessen auch von Mike Oldfield , Moonlight Shadow , erinnerte sehr an unsere Kindertage (meine ,unsere ...meine Schwester.. ♥️) ‼️👋♥️🙃😘 Zuerst hieß es allerdings auch das Wir 2-3 Lieder spielen könnten ,daraus wurde dann Eines und das noch nicht einmal bis zum Schluss ‼️

Ein wunderschönes Lied. Kaum zu glauben dass das Video schon 44 Jahre alt ist.
I love Mike! He made such an indelible impression on me.
Every time I hear this song, it's 1981 and I'm 16 years old again.
Sigh.
Jak ja

I would rather listen to this than any music in 2020 thankyou very much xx
harsh but fair
One might argue that this would be connected to a certain taste of music but that almost doesn't have any impact at all.
If you listen to this, great taste, i grew up with his music, im a 70s and 80s child now 51.i dont know any other music that can beat this, though i listen to most music types, i dont necessarily love all, or believe in it, except stuff to my taste.
Am still watching xx
You are not alone
We same! ❤️🧡💛💚
I hate the shit from mowadays
Fantastic! And he played every instrument in this song by him self..!!!
Mike Oldfield is a living legend. 😃
He's a one of the best composer in the world
Amen to that!
Retequattro '82
Absolutely
I've got one of her books
I have seen many musicians and heard their music but I had never seen or heard anyone like Mike Oldfield. Musical genius!

Bei so ein schönes lied kommen manche erinnerung hoch
I helped care for my step father through Parkinsons. A few hours after he died i was walking round to my sisters to smoke a number, put his ipod on random and out of 1200 songs this came on. I'm not a spirtual person however it really felt like he was reaching beyond the grave to play this astounding piece of music. Gbnf!!

I don't know why, but this song touches me so much that I always have to struggle with tears when I hear it...I would like to know myself why? It's not grief...it's something very special that grips me there...
Same! It hits an emotional spot somehow. Album version (live?) even better.

@@iantownsend6600 cool ;o)
Their is some cracking songs out their and i find these songs take away the shit thats going on at the moment.
the memory of home and the excitement of going back some day when you're done here.
Possibly the most magnificent and inspiring instrumental of all time .. in my opinion !
Actually better than the original
Forgot this completly, one of the best peaces of music ever.
Wonderful, wonderful Oldfield. In a Wonderful Land ❤️.... Magical... His darling child is his living image...
Can you top the shadows properly not but Mike adds a dimension to this beautiful peace of music god bless you all and I hope you find the truth soon
I knew this song firstly from the Shadows (when I was just 9 yrs old in early 60's) and the first time I knew Mike Oldfield is from his Tubular Bells album (when I was about 17). Till today I love the songs from both The Shadows and Mike Oldfield's...
Mike's music is so beautiful. It feels like it's talking directly to my soul and I can't stop crying.

I don't usually like revamped classics, especially 60s classics, but this is spot on,
Mike oldfield is a brilliant musician. I think anything he releases is fantastic.
Der Meister ,danke
Wonderful engaging video, Wonderful music, Wonderful Land. Mike Oldfield is simply the best!
It's nice to think Mike had such respect for Hank that he made this version.
Transportive music thank you Mike Oldfield always plus
Luke Spiller is wonderful in The Struts too.
Thank you Mike ! You will never know how much I love your music ! You will also never know that you changed my life

:)
I think so too.
it was not supposed to be a copy of the Shadows hit but a reinvention in his style, Hank Marvin loved it so much he plays this version at home!
***** Another Hank fan!

I fell in love with this song as a kid after hearing it on the radio (AM). Love it still some 40

Best cover in the history of all covers to date..Superb😃
Listen to the Thomshell orchestra covering this tune. The lead guitarist is amazing.
Beautiful.
This is an example of a cover song being as equally great as the original. Great guitars from Mike Oldfield and Hank Marvin on each of them.
This awesome piece of art came out 41 years ago and to me it has stood the test of time.
Thank you for your music Mr. Oldfield!
I played this album over and over in 1980 after seeing him at the Glasgow Apollo on the Platinum Mike Oldfield In Concert Tour. Great memories. Love you Mike.
Thinking about the little forest next to my bïrthplace. I listened it 8 years ago on the mountainbike in October 2013.
It was magic and every time I hear this song I got emotional and thinking about that experience...
Ich liebe diese Musik und dann noch die kleine zum schluss.Finde ich süß 🙂
Müsste seine Tochter sein. Die ist mittlerweile auch schon Mitte Vierzig.
If not the most talented musician in the world he must be close to it.
2:33 A wonderful heartwarming moment! :) I think the whole video is a hommage to his doughter Molly :)
I remember back when this came out, it created a feeling of happiness with a sense of mystical adventure … Great mix of instruments and talent.
My favourite Jerry Lordan instrumental from the sixties and a big hit for the Shadows, Mike Oldfields Version Retains The enthusiasm of the original version . Optimism flows , combining with space for growth and a place to call home in this Wonderful Land.!
An enduring masterpiece of beautiful music by a genius.

Großartig! Ich war schon von Tubular Bells so ergriffen. Nach wie vor einzigartig.
Wonderful spirit songs! I like this great music! Thanks for share!
"Wonderful Land" is an instrumental piece written by Jerry Lordan recorded and released as a single by the Shadows in 1962.
Simply the best love your music Mike not to take away from the shadows version you've just enhanced it .wonderful indeed.the legendary Mike Oldfield.
It strikes very deep with me I heard this when suffering a breakdown through depression and it brings me out of darkness
