Foy Vance has a massive underground fan base. He has had songs featured on "House MD" and "Greys Anatomy" But the mainstream media just won't give him a break. He talent has been compared with Van Morrison and Otis Reading. The media here in Northern Ireland virtually blank him out. But he is still pushing onward and upward. People only have to hear him sing "Gabriel and the Vagabond" or "Indiscriminate Act of Kindness" and they're hooked. The sound on this video isn't the best quality but have a look at some of the better quality posts.
I started with Make it Rain and was hooked. Such emotion in his voice he makes Ed Sheerans version sound like shit. He definitely has a new fan here in the states.
Just found this video. I’ve seen Foy several times in Switzerland, and most recently a few months ago in Atlanta. I introduced myself at a restaurant before the show and he was so kind and welcoming. He will always be one of my favorite musicians.
I see him on the daily when he is in scotland as where i live he comes and stays alot and i dance with his daughter ella, they are honestly the most genuine people i know
@@katieanderson282 Sorry to ask, but as I'm planning a road trip of a couple weeks in Scotland next year, what's the name of the town where you live? Meeting Foy would mean for me more than anything else, been following since 12 years or so and only had one chance so see him live
Foy is a great artist. I know the problem being suppressed by mainstream media but as true musician who’s creating songs from the heart inspired by real life experiences there’s no other option than staying honest all the way. It’s a rocky road to love.
Just discovered Foy Vance recently ...amazing performer !Nearly 75k views ..7 dislikes ...I guess.... "there all out of step with our Johnny .." 😂😂😂He is also a quality guitarist . 🍀🍀🍀
I’ve only just discovered Mr Vance - I’m totally blown away his voice - extraordinary and lyrics wonderful He’s my new Springsteen and some !! Wonderful musician 👍❤️
Saw Foy last Night in Seattle WA. I would see a thousand Foy Vance concerts before going to one Ed Sheeran show. And Ed is pretty good. Foy is just that great, IMO.
One, two, three We're on the permanent red The glaze on my eyes When I heard your voice The distance caught me by surprise again And I know you claim that you're alright But fix your eyes on me I guess I'm all you have And I swear you'll see the dawn again Well I know I had it all on the line But don't just sit with folded hands and become blind 'Cause even when there is no star in sight You'll always be my only guiding light Relate to my youth Well I'm still in awe of you Discover some new truth That was always wrapped around you But don't just slip away In the night Don't just hurl Your words from on high Well I know I had it all on the line But don't just sit with folded hands and become blind 'Cause even when there is no star in sight You'll always be my only guiding light If we come back and we're broken Unworthy and ashamed Give us something to believe in And you know we'll go your way 'Cause I know I had it all on the line But don't just sit with folded hands and become blind 'Cause even when there is no star in sight You'll always be my only guiding light And I know I had it all on the line But don't just sit with folded hands and become blind 'Cause even when there is no star in sight You'll always be my only guiding light
Well the road is wide, And waters run on either side, And my shadow went with fading light, Stretching out towards the night. 'Cause the Sun is low, And I yet have still so far to go, My lonely heart is beating so, Tired of the wonder. But there's a sign ahead, Though I think it's the same one again, And I'm thinking 'bout my only friend, And so I find my way home. When I need to get home You're my guiding light, You're my guiding light. When I need to get home, You're my guiding light, You're my guiding light. Well the air is cold, And yonder lies my sleeping soul, By the branches broke like bones, This weakened tree no longer holds. But the night is still, And I have not yet lost my will, Oh and I will keep on moving 'till, 'till I find my way home. When I need to get home, You're my guiding light, You're my guiding light. When I need to get home, You're my guiding light, You're my guiding light. When I need to get home, You're my guiding light, You're my guiding light.
so so beautiful, thanks to my sister Deirdre for directing me to this beautiful song. I wish I could get a chance to sing with them. Really beautiful music
bruce spri ngsteen meets van morrison ,meets ,all the rest ,nice song ,but..........., men whining about a woman is so ...............well whingey whiney ,but it's a kind of hymn type music ,bit like christian rock , lovely warm resolving big simple chords .root to root .communnion music for the masses ,wash away my pain kind of thing ,well what ever .
Foy Vances Stimme hat mehr Volumen und Eds Stimme ist sanfter/klarer. Foys Musik orientiert sich am Irish Folk und Eds Musik an Pop. Das könnte der Grund sein warum jüngere Menschen seltener seine Musik hören 😢
Im a 37 yr old grown ass man and this song brings me to the brink of tears every, single, time.....

you're right. "indiscriminate act of kindness", obsessed with it, just started listening to him on your advice!
+Alan Shields 'Yep - 'Indiscriminate' is one of the best songs ever written. Right up there with 'Fast Car' for social relevance. Foy is king!

Alan, I hear you, brother....but it's ok that the "mainstream media" won't give him a break. He's better than them. I love Foy Vance.
Our english teacher sent us this video during the corona virus. I love the video!
You know they're talented when they sound just as amazing if not better in a live performance...wow.
The most amazing thing is all people singing together
The world needs to do it more often
This is such a beautiful song.One of my favourite.Calms me down and relaxes me,I simply enjoy from the begining till the end.
Beautiful!! I love it!❤
Foy is a remarkable talent.

Foy is definitely one of the best songwriters

Foy Vance is one FOYn Singer/artist
tomorrow night June 3, 2015 in Ottawa Ontario Canada....Foy Vance and Ed Sheeran! I am so excited!!!!
Kat Jones HAVE FUN!!! I saw him last night! He was AMAZING!!!
I was there :D IT WAS SO EPIC.
Beauty and the Beast with Kristen Kreuk and Jay Ryan brought me here...fantastic song to go with an awesome show.#BATB
That one time Ed’s guest out shines him!
Saw Foy last Night in Seattle WA. I would see a thousand Foy Vance concerts before going to one Ed Sheeran show. And Ed is pretty good. Foy is just that great, IMO.
ouch
That's a bit unfair, but, Foy Vance is a brilliant performer, songwriter, and singer. What a powerful voice that man has.
Not sure how....it's an opinion.
Yeah, ok. I prefer Foy Vance myself, just another opinion, but wouldn't put Ed Sheeran down quite like that. He's got talent.
I said he was pretty good. I thought I was purposefully hyperbolic regarding Foy, rather than dissing Ed. That was the intent, anyway.
Had no idea this existed thank you for this post.
i just found out this song from beauty and the beast tvshow series...literally crying rite now..what a beautifull meaningful song 😭
Pure Class
One, two, three
We're on the permanent red
The glaze on my eyes
When I heard your voice
The distance caught me by surprise again
And I know you claim that you're alright
But fix your eyes on me
I guess I'm all you have
And I swear you'll see the dawn again
Well I know I had it all on the line
But don't just sit with folded hands and become blind
'Cause even when there is no star in sight
You'll always be my only guiding light
Relate to my youth
Well I'm still in awe of you
Discover some new truth
That was always wrapped around you
But don't just slip away
In the night
Don't just hurl
Your words from on high
Well I know I had it all on the line
But don't just sit with folded hands and become blind
'Cause even when there is no star in sight
You'll always be my only guiding light
If we come back and we're broken
Unworthy and ashamed
Give us something to believe in
And you know we'll go your way
'Cause I know I had it all on the line
But don't just sit with folded hands and become blind
'Cause even when there is no star in sight
You'll always be my only guiding light
And I know I had it all on the line
But don't just sit with folded hands and become blind
'Cause even when there is no star in sight
You'll always be my only guiding light
Foy is Legend man!
beautiful xx
Thank you so much for the videos. The quality is amazing! :)
Ed and Foy are friends. Ed really loves this song, it's a beautiful song. I love it too.
Woow!!!😍😍😍 Lo sigo escuchando y me sigue sorprendido. Gran talento 👏🏻🎸🎸🎶
I just discovered this song - with EltonJon and Keith Urban - can I say I - - i cried and prayed !
Foy Vance signs of life
Brilliant 👏👏
Class 💪
Well the road is wide,
And waters run on either side,
And my shadow went with fading light,
Stretching out towards the night.
'Cause the Sun is low,
And I yet have still so far to go,
My lonely heart is beating so,
Tired of the wonder.
But there's a sign ahead,
Though I think it's the same one again,
And I'm thinking 'bout my only friend,
And so I find my way home.
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light,
You're my guiding light.
When I need to get home,
You're my guiding light,
You're my guiding light.
Well the air is cold,
And yonder lies my sleeping soul,
By the branches broke like bones,
This weakened tree no longer holds.
But the night is still,
And I have not yet lost my will,
Oh and I will keep on moving 'till,
'till I find my way home.
When I need to get home,
You're my guiding light,
You're my guiding light.
When I need to get home,
You're my guiding light,
You're my guiding light.
When I need to get home,
You're my guiding light,
You're my guiding light.
Amazing.
Fantastic
Troppo bello!

Ich finde, Foy Vance singt besser als Ed Sheeran. Aber er hat leider nicht das junge Publikum.
