At 43 years old you start to think if the youth of today will appreciate the good old classics then boom you stumble across this and just smile don’t worry with people like this around and being born I can’t wait to see what they are going to do next absolute minter
I just watched this video for the first time and started crying. Didn’t understand why until I realized the song was about my wife who passed three and a half years ago. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this rendition.
Yesterday this was a cool song I heard before U2 took the stage on the Joshua Tree tour. Today it’s the greatest song of all time, and this is the greatest music video I’ve ever seen. I want to be in this bar forever.
This is perfection! I lost my daughter 3 years ago at the age of 15. She had epilepsy and other special needs, but she experienced life in her short life way more vividly than anyone else I know. I love your version of this song which sums up her precious life. Thank you.
So sorry for ur loss. I lost my nephew to cancer new years 2024. Still hurting n this song still cuts me deep n reminds me of him .even tho he wouldn't no the song lol
Class version . Class setting . It has it all . Pub setting is class also ,, Dart board , Tony Bellow picture, couples , lads , etc. has it all and what a version.
Got this on repeat. This cover is simply brilliant. It should be used as a public advert to save the pub trade, it epitomises everything that is great about our fantastic pub trade. Still like the original raw one too 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
I used to have a couple of local pubs like this. So many happy memories. Unfortunately times changed, not for the better and they are now gastro pubs or Witherspoons. Soulless places. We even got chucked out of Witherspoons for singing Christmas carols after a few shandys. Sad times.
Damn straight! We still have nights like this once a month. A girl comes down and plays her guitar and you can get up and sing along with her, if you’re brave enough. It’s my favourite night of the month. Cannot wait to get back down there and for all this to be over. We deserve a good night out now. 🥳 🍻🕺
Me too!! I think we have to use this video and simply state where we usually go and who we usually see. In my case it's the Manchester Pub in Chelsea Quebec Canada.
Between 1990 and 1994 I had my best and worst four years at a job as a chef in Scunthorpe at the mallard .I was 16 drunk most nights lock ins juke box blaring out songs like this and oasis stone roses this brings tears to this old mans eyes fabulous guys just awesome Thankyou
I left England 25 years ago for pastures new, but damn nostalgia is hitting hard now for a good night out at the pub. Beautiful performance, lads. Can't wait to see what else you can do.
It’s hard not too feel the soul of this song, if you cried , your soul felt the cause the reason too not give up is what is traveling thru your vains and eyes you hear hope and Iam not done crawling I don’t give a fuck if I have too drag us .. but we will not give up.., so fucking brilliant
Simply Amazing. My old mate Ronnie 2 Dogs O,sullivan would walk straight into the pub after work and put this on the Juke Box God Bless him and god bless you for your Brilliant version of one of my favorite songs ever.
I love the Waterboys (have 7 of their CDs) and been listening to them since the early 80s. I've heard many covers, and own several (none of which I listen too), but your cover gave me goose bumps! And you did that with only two voices and a piano! Thank You!
I pictured a rainbow You held it in your hands I had flashes But you saw the plan I wandered out in the world for years While you just stayed in your room I saw the crescent You saw the whole of the moon The whole of the moon You were there at the turnstiles With the wind at your heels You stretched for the stars And you know how it feels To reach too high Too far Too soon You saw the whole of the moon I was grounded While you filled the skies I was dumbfounded by truths You cut through lies I saw the rain-dirty valley You saw Brigadoon I saw the crescent You saw the whole of the moon I spoke about wings You just flew I wondered, I guessed and I tried You just knew I sighed But you swooned I saw the crescent You saw the whole of the moon The whole of the moon With a torch in your pocket And the wind at your heels You climbed on the ladder And you know how it feels To get too high Too far Too soon You saw the whole of the moon The whole of the moon Unicorns and cannonballs Palaces and piers Trumpets, towers, and tenements Wide oceans full of tears Flags, rags, ferry boats Scimitars and scarves Every precious dream and vision Underneath the stars Yes, you climbed on the ladder With the wind in your sails You came like a comet Blazing your trail Too high Too far Too soon You saw the whole of the moon
Stunning. I'm flooded with tears. For a guy and musician like me, that takes a heavy lot to do to me. These guys are the top g. The video is simple but genius. I had the odd night in Glasgow like that in my young years. Reminded me of that joy music can create anywhere
I got here from watching the other version where they were playing this song live in the pub. I 've obviously heard the song before (although I'm an oldie) but just didn't realise how good it sounds live and what a great job, really enjoyed it.
April 1st 2021 I've had 6 people die on me in the last few months. Sad yes.... But more importantly they were struggling souls and I bonded with them ....because I have no one left in my life.. no fiends no family a 1 person soul. I guess I bonded with those beautiful people I met and they made complete just for a brief short time. I am blessed. Rip Larry- Chris- Dave- Aussie- Joe- and my humble friend. Thanks for blessing me with your struggles!
The version of this song is absolutely amazing. Well done guys. Between the video, the music and singing feel many emotions. Powerful,powerful stuff.👏👏👏👏
When the moon is out I always look up & say 'hello lad U dad still here in Amsterdam'.!!..U guys make remembering easier..keep on keepin' on...Peace.!!!
One man and a piano. Simply beautiful version of what was an awesome song. And taken to another level.. Definitely my favourite version ever of this sing. Just... BRILLIANT!!!!
When watching this video let us all take this time to think about all those that sadly passed during this pandemic. As this makes me think about them all even though I never knew them. Blessings to you all 💖
Beautiful... The song, the performance and the video itself... Just watching those people sitting around drinking, talking, laughing, listening.. Different ages, shapes, sexes and sizes.... This epitomises the British pub and what a wonderful institution it is... Well done lads.
Why am I only just seeing this? Amazing! Well done lads. Props to the film crew as this is by far better and more creative than most stuff you see nowadays. Amazing guys! Bloody amazing!
What a beautiful ;version of this song. The piano moves me to the core and I can feel the meaning of the words deep within your voices and hearts. Thank you for sharing.
First time I’ve seen this version after the original with some beers int pub for so many years now. This just makes my heart soar even higher now. The best song ever!!!! I’m not kidding. I love everything about Queen. But this song. My soul soars. Thanks guys. And thank you for Waterboys for your genius too.
One day soon we can be together again... We need contact so much... Miss you all so much, see you all soon... So we can see the whole of the moon together 🙏.. Brilliant cover guys 👏👏👏
I just stumbled on the Netherlands movie Waterboys featuring the Waterboys. Stumbled further and fell up this. And then their Christmas album, and back to this again. Thanks. It is wonderful.
I watched this video endlessly during lockdown as it reminded me of all the things I missed the most. Friendship, music, pubs companionship. Hope the group do well off the back of this it’s a brilliant song and video.
Absolutely superb boys. Was listening to this earlier in the year when my mate suddenly passed away. It really resonated with me as the lyrics had a connection and summed him up. So it’s kind of like his song now. Thank you for posting this amazing cover. Sang with real conviction. Love it👍❤️
I remember watching a video for the first time singing this song in a cool little pub. And I was hooked then. Now you have this!!!! I raise a few beers to ya guys!!!! Very cool!!! Congratulations to you both! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🍻🍻🍻🍻

OK. Why am I the only one coming back to this to say how brilliant it is??
Absolutely amazing....this is one of My favorite songs ever, acoustic odds or waterboy's either one holds alot of memories

If I can't have this version played at my funeral, I'm not going to die. Simply perfect
Friday morning in Montevideo, Uruguay. Crying with joy over this version. The warmth of a pub and the power of music are universal.
I agree. Such a diverse, unique song. And, grabbing a few beers and grub with with locals. Sounds like a good night.
Class version . Class setting . It has it all . Pub setting is class also ,, Dart board , Tony Bellow picture, couples , lads , etc. has it all and what a version.

One of my absolute favourites and you did it justice absolutely fantastic 😍

Man. My old man died just as I started loving this song. It now hits so hard. You fellas make me proud to be English
What has your Proudness to do with this song?
I saw the whole of the moon . Waht a legendary performance!! 🎉
That 3 pint sweet spot where everything and everyone is incredible.
Threeeee 🤔
maybe if youre a 6 year old. 3 pints is breakfast.
Great comment. There is a point on an afternoon or night out that is a sweet spot. Everyone relaxed but not too drunk.
After three pints it’s midweek Montana time 😂
Yeah. And now with an invisible backing band … ua-cam.com/video/bgiiAGT17og/v-deo.html

This song means so much to me on personal level , I don't mind telling you ..I am in tears .. thank you lads ..thank you for this
I pictured a rainbow
You held it in your hands
I had flashes
But you saw the plan
I wandered out in the world for years
While you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon
You were there at the turnstiles
With the wind at your heels
You stretched for the stars
And you know how it feels
To reach too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
I was grounded
While you filled the skies
I was dumbfounded by truths
You cut through lies
I saw the rain-dirty valley
You saw Brigadoon
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
I spoke about wings
You just flew
I wondered, I guessed and I tried
You just knew
I sighed
But you swooned
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon
With a torch in your pocket
And the wind at your heels
You climbed on the ladder
And you know how it feels
To get too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon
Unicorns and cannonballs
Palaces and piers
Trumpets, towers, and tenements
Wide oceans full of tears
Flags, rags, ferry boats
Scimitars and scarves
Every precious dream and vision
Underneath the stars
Yes, you climbed on the ladder
With the wind in your sails
You came like a comet
Blazing your trail
Too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
Yes LUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mega
