Listened to this in 1984 driving with Dad in his new car from Denmark to Hoek v Holland and then through England all the way to Scotland. Drinking Scotch with Scots in Inverness going to Loch Ness to get a glimpse of Nessie but instead saw a Piper in full outfit pacing the stonewall playing. Then south to Exeter and back home. Always comes to me when listening to this what a great voyage it was. RIP Dad.
@@massimo2056 Didn't at that time - crossed the Channel to Netherlands. Visited Paris during 1976 and again 1992. Last one part of a round trip of northern France by car.
I am 22 years old and I am French. When I was little, this music was frequently broadcast on our radio specializing in "classic songs" from the 60s, 70s and 80s. For a long time I searched desperately for this song and finally I was able to get my hands on it.
Head this song for the first time three years ago when I was driving a rental car through Mallorca. Ever since, I've been trying to find the song. I will be driving through France this summer and told myself it would be great if I could listen this song in the car. Today, in a lawn mower dealer this song was playing. I quickly opened Shazam and finally I am listening this song again! I guess I can be thankful for having this technology in my pocket.
I wouldn't dislike it for sure, but it's really hard to watch REAL musicians and a singer forced into stupid playback/lip sync environment. Something that 80's admirers always forget to admit how cringey these music videos were. Back to your question, maybe a few hundred of those who don't like the fake performance.
This is probably one of the most underrated Mike Oldfield bangers of all and it deserves all the praise it gets here ... but I don't understand how there are NO comments talking about that goddamn bass player! The guy moves like a marvel of animatronics and I love it!
Yes indeed. The bloke is a national, nay world, treasure. Live pretty close to where he penned Hergest Ridge, which really doesn't count for much but there you go.
Много лет назад, мне позвонил мой дядя из Москвы, и напел мне мотив этой песни, с вопросом о название.Мой дядя Дима, замечательный, добрый человек, врач высшей категории, который помог очень много людям ушел в 2010.Каждый раз, когда слушаю эту песню, думаю о нём.Дима, я не успела перед тобой извиниться!прости меня за моё глупое детское поведение, пожалуйста!Я тебя очень люблю и очень по тебе скучаю 🙏💔💔💔
дядя Дима из Москвы зайдёт почитать комменты на ютубе и обязательно наткнётся на это сообщение и сразу поймёт, что речь именно о нём, ведь именно он будучи врачом ушёл в 2010
Ваш голос ,это голос ангела из детства, из радио приемника....воистинну музыка международна, которая написана из сердца от души понятна всем без знания языка, музыка это Божий Дар! Да пребудет на Земле красивая музыка и мир во всем мире,Аминь!
Yo la escuché hace años , pero en esos tiempos no tenia cómo saber su nombre para buscarla o preguntar por ella...es música como de hadas en Bosques de luz y de gotas de rocío
my mom was and still is a huge fan of mike oldfield , she played this vinyl almost every week end in our house , dancing on it and feeling happy , she was beautiful , my dad was playing the tape in our car during almost every roadtrip just to please my mom, i was very young at this time and almost forgot it untill now . now my mom is 70 yo and my dad is dead , but after 40 years ,just to hear again the first notes with this almost medieval vibes brought me instantly back in this car and in my living room with my mum and my dad , feeling happy and secure. Thank you for that
This is timeless.... This song is beyond earthly music, it is a fairytale, heart-shaped magic! ... Thank you Mike and Maggie for bringing healing magic into this world.... It needs it!! Music that makes us reflect and encourages dreaming is precious!
A beautiful song by Mike - and rendered perfectly by Maggie's amazing voice - about the doomed escape attempts of Mary Queen of Scots as she tried to get to France.
I read about her life years ago...here's a strange story. I was visiting the ruins of a house where she was kept under house arrest for a while; my mum got quite upset, and she said that the rooms were 'too small' and she felt claustrophobic. Before we left I bought a guide book...it told that Mary had actually complained about how tiny the rooms of her 'prison' were. Still gives me the willies.
Yep...she had been married as a teen to François II (I think), a French King of ours, pretty sweet...but the boy died of an awful ear abcess. She was then brought back to England where her cousin, Elizabeth, feared that Mary's links to France - where she was super popular - could threaten her Kingdom. The worst is that she actually must have prayed the Lord she could get back to beautiful France... The final break, as Maggie Reily just sings "Never going to...." (without the final words) stands for her inner toughts, cut by the axe falling on her neck as she was behaded (in the most botched possible way). This song is a jewel. A painting, a movie, a novel...a jewel
Mike Oldfield ha entendido como pocos, que la voz es un maravilloso instrumento, y ha dado lugar en sus hermosas melodías, a voces mágicas como la de Maggie Reilly, Pepsy Demaque, Barry Palmer, Anita Heguerland, Jon Anderson y tantos otros talentos. Gracias Mike por tu magia y tu capacidad de elevar el espíritu con tus canciones
You don't hear much about Maggie these days,but what an amazing voice this lady has,she's easily up there with some of the all-time great female singers.
i was 12 years old in 84, and i still feel chill and cold waves go through from my body, this is so lovely track i still love that one like 30 years ago
believe me.... i am searching for this 30 years ! !! ! at last i found it again couple of minutes back ,My body is shivering(I am from India). I am a part time musician too.I have a lot of sentiments & nostalgia with this song. Thank you internet . Thank god.
Had a teenage girl friend from France and listened to this over and over till i got there in early 89. Alas it was not to be. She was and is a wonderful memory though…this song brings me back to her all the time.
Great song sung by the epic Maggie Reilly. Brings me back to my youth and pleasant holiday memories. It just touches the heart. Nothing can compare. Same with Moonlight shadow!
It's good that you enjoy the 80's music, but please stop telling us that you're in your 20's and that you're listening to it. We get it, you want to tell us that you have better tastes than other people from your generation but the shitty era of today is what it is, it's not going to change a thing. So just listen to all these gems while waiting for the end of times like the rest of us, they're not coming back, hence the nostalgia even for peeps who weren't there back then. Cheers guys.
Musik wie aus einer anderen Welt - kein Rumgehampel, keine Riesenshow, einfach volle Konzentration auf die Musik. Ich liebe diese ehrliche Art der Darbietung und Umsetzung. Man merkt der wunderbaren Maggie Reilly an, wie sehr sie sich bemüht: das Ergebnis ist ein zeitloser, gefühlvermittelnder, grandioser Song.
une de mes chansons préférées de cette époque, j'étais jeune et en Pologne, mon pays natal, je viens seulement de découvrir qu'elle parle de la France où je vis depuis 35 ans
Im 29, relatively young as far as music is concerned, but my mum and dad brought me up on Mike Oldfield, Queen and Genesis and I cannot wait to introduce it to my child to show her that 'if you like it then you shudda put a ring on it' isnt the only thing the human race was doing before she arrived...
Prenant la mer , naviguant sur une mer dechainée D'un souvenir , une fantaisie Que le vent emporte dans l'écume Loin des iles Ne sais-tu donc pas que tu n'arriveras jamais en France ? Mary Reine de la Chance , te retrouveront-ils ? N'arrivera jamais en France ? Une nouvelle romance te tiendrait-elle donc ? Marchant sur une terre étrangère comme une ombre Errant en territoire lointain Sur ton épaule des histoires se déroulent Tu es à la recherche d'un sanctuaire . Magnifique chanson ❤
Penso che Maggie Reilly sia una delle voci femminili più sottovalutate di sempre (questa,Foreign Affair,Moonlight Shadow ecc.".Mi dispiace perchè Oldfield è un grande,ma senza di lei non credo avrebbe raggiunto quel grande successo.Nonostante ciò Reilly non se la caga nessuno oggi.
Mike Oldfield ha visto giusto reclutando 2 tra le voci "outsiders" del panorama Folk-Prog britannico o underrated se vogliamo, Crises è un album del 1983 con alcune sonorità che strizzano l'occhio al decennio precedente,non per niente proprio in quei primi anni '80 si formavano supergruppi come gli Asia,4 elementi dai nomi "altisonanti" nel panorama Prog Rock;il ritorno degli Yes con l'album di successo(grazie anche ad un "certo" Trevor Horn) dal titolo a "5 cifre" che ora non mi sovviene(Leave it è un esplicito omaggio ai '70)o gruppi devoti come i Marillion(la voce di Fish con quella di Peter Gabriel è davvero impressionante). Ah...l'altra delle 2 voci a cui mi riferivo,oltre alla Really,è di Barry Palmer. Alla prossima.
Igual yo hoy la escuche y di con el titulo..maravillosa cancion..la habia escuchado en las micros ,en avion ,en auto ,en la calle ,en submarino ,en halicoptero de guerra ,en nave espacial.,en el halcon milenario, en el albatros del baron rojo.,en un tanque , etc...
Woe that be brilliant if only Radio had brains and research and find re define,rare gems of any genre Songs like this and plenty of more around the world and in history, books,charts etc and play this instead of the same boring jubebox stuff in their short playlists
Same here , it was on bbc radio 2 , I recognised it as a remix of this used to play at a local rave I used to go to lol heard this and actually love this more , can’t find the rave version tho lol
Finally found it. Grew up listening to this but couldn't remember where I'd heard it. My Dad was a huge fan of Mike Oldfield and had Tubular Bells. I remember the music but that album cover had a huge effect on me as a kid. Thanks Dad for exposing me to such incredible music.
Im turning 40 this yearbut these years of music are so much better than what we have these days. I grew up with my aunt that are only 16 and 9 years okder than me. So i listen to this kind all the time..
this song reminds me of a very specific moment in my life. I was a kid playing with my little cousins during summer vacations in Normandy. And this song was on the radio. I don't know why, but that, day, this afternoon, this moment and this song got printed in my memory. Everytime I hear it, I am back to this very day and very sweet memory
Amazing voice Maggie Reilly . Incredible guitar play by Mike Oldfield and Phil Spalding. They come back to me memories of childhood. PODZIĘKOWANIA Z POLSKI
One of the most beautiful songs of those years and enjoyable even today, a pop song with a credible folk dress to take us back to the days of Mary Stuart, wonderful
When song lyrics were about good stories, tales and imagination, instead about flaming others or exaggerating one's very own selfish nature. When music was done by actual musicians and not by producers in backdoor studios! Love it!
I often wondered if old style musicians did it simply because they were good at it. As if "someone has to do the job. I can, ergo I have to!" was their decision process of going into business with music! Much of modern music seems to only aim at success. At least the popular stuff. I am extremely happy that our technological advances enable us to delve into the past of music!
@@notjustforme True words. In fact earlier pop music was far more independent than today, because there were many small labels with which to cooperate. Today almost all artisans are bound to major labels only. And of course those major labels need to make a lot of money to compensate their huge expenses. So when producing, they only aim at success, refraining from experimenting with less popular music styles. That leads to an absurd uniformity within most billboard charts all around the world, with no room for originality and creativity, which might endanger success.
@@bjornm.1121 Record labels aren't that important anymore. Oldfield's early success was basically Branson (= Virgin Records) making an educated guess. Then TB struck a chord in millions of people and the rest is, as they say, history. Oldfield's entire career actually mirrors the development of the record industry as a whole. Today, the big labels are just businesses desperately trying to earn money from the next big hype. But they've lost the real fight a long time ago. Since the popularity of music isn't linked to physical distribution anymore, other mechanisms took over. It's basically about attention nowadays. But there's still plenty of great music out there. And there still are lots of small labels willing to put their trust into real artists. The corporate record industry always sucked. The 50s, 80s, 10s... it doesn't matter. Music matters.
The greatest decade of all time never to forget miss it so much and dearly oh hail the 80s.What a combination Mike and Maggie had Moonlight Shadow,5 Miles Out and this To France so soothing,relaxing surpremely done crafted Song genius. To France not far from u guys the Brits have great neighbours lucky it says in the Song wish we had cool neighbours like u guys
Eine wunderschöne Stimme das geht mir so sehr auf mein Herz ❤❤❤❤
Happy 70th Birthday Mike Oldfield. Born May 15th 1953
Maggie Reilly is just singing this song.
She seems totally unaware of the fact that her voice is something else. 😍
once in a lifetime = casual singing 🤣
Quelle belle voix elle a cette Maggie !!
I would to after the 10653427 time...
Im pretty sure its lip-sync
Beautiful and timeless. Let's not kid ourselves, music like this isn't made anymore.
Unfortunately you are right.
Η ΜΕΛΩΔΙΑ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΤΕΛΕΙΑ .

The most beautiful and sublime tribute to Mary, Queen of Scots and her tragic story that can only be understood through poetry ❤

I love this song but I want to get to France.
I was in a depression from 2010-2020 and this was one of the songs that helped me, I cry and I am happy for having overcome that stage
I'm glad you overcome depression, or "black dog". Unfortunately, that black dog "bites" me over seven years or so..

What happened to those bass guitars, they were everywhere in the 80s lol
Honestly do not understand 1450 people that disliked this.... What music they understand.... This is SUPERB
Peraps, sure even, 1450 roastbeefs... 😏
Billie Eilish fans for sure. 😂
The sound quality is lacking.

I was at a live modern version of Tubular Bells live a few days ago. I loved the concert but this song was in no way as wonderful as Maggie's version!
Bass player performed by Gerry Anderson?
Philip Spalding actually :)
I was wondering if he's had his jeans spray painted on!
That bass player loves it. He's miming like his life depends on it:)
Absolutely feelin himself hey, love it :D
and Pierre on drums is like, this is way below my pay grade :)

she reminds me very much of the singer from Steeleye Span
@@joannagodfrey5111 You are talking about Maddy Prior......And did you know that Maddy Prior did vocals on Mike Oldfield's album Incantations.
I've rediscovered this song and it feels like a memory from a different life. Priceless feeling!
keep discovering the music of mike oldfield. sometimes it makes you happy, really
Heard the Discovery-tour live in 1984 with this line-up. No to forget Simon Philipps on drums ... fantastic! 👏♥️
Just class❤
I was so lucky to have been born in 1970.
I grew up listening to Mike Oldfield, Jean Michelle Jarre, ELO and plenty of other amazing musicians.

dito ... 1972 here.
believe me.... i am searching for this 30 years ! !! ! at last i found it again couple of minutes back ,My body is shivering(I am from India).

Thank god.
I born in 87... But I have cold wawes on my skin every time I listen this music. Brilliant. Best ages till 20s.

Ne sais-tu donc pas que tu n'arriveras jamais en France ?
Mary Reine de la Chance , te retrouveront-ils ?
N'arrivera jamais en France ?
Une nouvelle romance te tiendrait-elle donc ?
Marchant sur une terre étrangère comme une ombre
Errant en territoire lointain
Sur ton épaule des histoires se déroulent
Tu es à la recherche d'un sanctuaire .
Magnifique chanson ❤
When music and vocals mattered more than looks. Good times
Тогда был истинный талант в людях,))
как вспомнить хотя бы группу "скорпионс",
Heart, а теперь больше да
нужны фрики !
фриковость. увы...
Какое прекрасное сочетание голоса и таланта композитора...
не пали контору - пиши на саксонском
Maggie's vocal stands far apart from anythin' we hear today from the air. Truly regret this angels' voice has been nearly forgotten for now...
Какая прелесть! Мелодия, голос, исполнение! ❤
Ну, Майк Олдфилд. Гений, думаю.
Это прекрасная песня Мэгги Райлли. Также это песня Майка Олдфилда 🤠
So many memories, I was only 11 back in 1984 when this title came out but this played a lot on the radio.....magical 1980s.
I love Mike Oldfield but i really think that Maggie Reilly should be mentioned in the title as well - she is something else.
she got cheated by Mike.
He owned her money.
For real? i had no idea
Ran Magal yeah remember it on a interview she onces made lang time ago
Tbonyandsteak OMG... the two best known songs of Mike Oldfield are the ones sung by Maggie Reilly.
Don´t get confused: The two most famous songs by which Maggie Reilly is known are those composed by Oldfield.
E' bellissima questa TO FRANCE !!!! OLDFIELD sempre grande !!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
Marin
SA Rice vuoi dire che sei d'accordo con me ?
Oltre alla canzone che è bellissima,aggiungerei anche la voce possente di Maggie Really.
Penso che Maggie Reilly sia una delle voci femminili più sottovalutate di sempre (questa,Foreign Affair,Moonlight Shadow ecc.".Mi dispiace perchè Oldfield è un grande,ma senza di lei non credo avrebbe raggiunto quel grande successo.Nonostante ciò Reilly non se la caga nessuno oggi.
Mike Oldfield ha visto giusto reclutando 2 tra le voci "outsiders" del panorama Folk-Prog britannico o underrated se vogliamo, Crises è un album del 1983 con alcune sonorità che strizzano l'occhio al decennio precedente,non per niente proprio in quei primi anni '80 si formavano supergruppi come gli Asia,4 elementi dai nomi "altisonanti" nel panorama Prog Rock;il ritorno degli Yes con l'album di successo(grazie anche ad un "certo" Trevor Horn) dal titolo a "5 cifre" che ora non mi sovviene(Leave it è un esplicito omaggio ai '70)o gruppi devoti come i Marillion(la voce di Fish con quella di Peter Gabriel è davvero impressionante).
Ah...l'altra delle 2 voci a cui mi riferivo,oltre alla Really,è di Barry Palmer. Alla prossima.
Wspaniały utwór powrót do lat dzieciństwa gdy za oknami słychać śpiew ptaków i unoszący się zapach lata to magiczne wspomnienia
heard this on the radio today for the first time and had to look it up. what a magical voice. such a beautiful song!
You´re welcome, young innocent kid! :-/
On the radio? The world is not lost yet!
Igual yo hoy la escuche y di con el titulo..maravillosa cancion..la habia escuchado en las micros ,en avion ,en auto ,en la calle ,en submarino ,en halicoptero de guerra ,en nave espacial.,en el halcon milenario, en el albatros del baron rojo.,en un tanque , etc...
Woe that be brilliant if only Radio had brains and research and find re define,rare gems of any genre Songs like this and plenty of more around the world and in history, books,charts etc and play this instead of the same boring jubebox stuff in their short playlists
Same here , it was on bbc radio 2 , I recognised it as a remix of this used to play at a local rave I used to go to lol heard this and actually love this more , can’t find the rave version tho lol
Finally found it. Grew up listening to this but couldn't remember where I'd heard it. My Dad was a huge fan of Mike Oldfield and had Tubular Bells. I remember the music but that album cover had a huge effect on me as a kid.
Thanks Dad for exposing me to such incredible music.
I got the same feeling. Was amazing reading your message. Was like going out from my heart too.
Im turning 40 this yearbut these years of music are so much better than what we have these days. I grew up with my aunt that are only 16 and 9 years okder than me. So i listen to this kind all the time..
this song reminds me of a very specific moment in my life. I was a kid playing with my little cousins during summer vacations in Normandy. And this song was on the radio. I don't know why, but that, day, this afternoon, this moment and this song got printed in my memory. Everytime I hear it, I am back to this very day and very sweet memory
Brilliant
Amazing voice Maggie Reilly . Incredible guitar play by Mike Oldfield and Phil Spalding.
They come back to me memories of childhood. PODZIĘKOWANIA Z POLSKI
Is Spalding the gay looking one ? 🤔🙂
Im just captivated by the moves of the bass player, Phil Spalding :D
One of the most beautiful songs of those years and enjoyable even today, a pop song with a credible folk dress to take us back to the days of Mary Stuart, wonderful
👍🎸♥️🇫🇷
I BOUGHT THE LP IN 1984 AND IM STILL LISTENING....THE VOICE OF MAGGIE AND THE SOUND OF GUITAR BY MIKE ARE STUNNING
Про Мэгги сказали всё.Добавить больше нечего. просто высший пилотаж!!!!!!!!!!
If Marie Stuart heard this song she loves it probably. Magical music and Maggie Railly voice sounds perfect!
Mike was and still is a part of my life, My childhood was coloured by him
So it was mine❤️
Cette chanson est indémodable. Je peux l'écouter en boucle.
Never heard this before , I wasn’t disappointed, she has such a beautiful voice….
Get to France
No thanks 😊
When song lyrics were about good stories, tales and imagination, instead about flaming others or exaggerating one's very own selfish nature. When music was done by actual musicians and not by producers in backdoor studios! Love it!
I often wondered if old style musicians did it simply because they were good at it. As if "someone has to do the job. I can, ergo I have to!" was their decision process of going into business with music!
Much of modern music seems to only aim at success. At least the popular stuff.
I am extremely happy that our technological advances enable us to delve into the past of music!
@@notjustforme True words. In fact earlier pop music was far more independent than today, because there were many small labels with which to cooperate. Today almost all artisans are bound to major labels only. And of course those major labels need to make a lot of money to compensate their huge expenses. So when producing, they only aim at success, refraining from experimenting with less popular music styles. That leads to an absurd uniformity within most billboard charts all around the world, with no room for originality and creativity, which might endanger success.
The lyrics was inspired by the unhappy life of Mary Queen of Scots.
Unfortunately you can't stop the change.
@@bjornm.1121 Record labels aren't that important anymore. Oldfield's early success was basically Branson (= Virgin Records) making an educated guess. Then TB struck a chord in millions of people and the rest is, as they say, history. Oldfield's entire career actually mirrors the development of the record industry as a whole. Today, the big labels are just businesses desperately trying to earn money from the next big hype. But they've lost the real fight a long time ago. Since the popularity of music isn't linked to physical distribution anymore, other mechanisms took over. It's basically about attention nowadays. But there's still plenty of great music out there. And there still are lots of small labels willing to put their trust into real artists. The corporate record industry always sucked. The 50s, 80s, 10s... it doesn't matter. Music matters.
Mike Oldfield can play around 50 musical instruments. A true musical genious. In many of his recordings, his drummer was Phil Collins!
The greatest decade of all time never to forget miss it so much and dearly oh hail the 80s.What a combination Mike and Maggie had Moonlight Shadow,5 Miles Out and this To France so soothing,relaxing surpremely done crafted Song genius. To France not far from u guys the Brits have great neighbours lucky it says in the Song wish we had cool neighbours like u guys
La meilleure chanteuse pour Mike Oldfield, juste GÉNIALE cette voix !!!!
I'm in love with this song.
Mike and Maggie collaborations were fantastic!
