    Waterboys are from Scotland and it’s a song that a generation of Scots know every word of that song of by heart. Another anthem from Scotland is Deacon Blue - Dignity.

    This is a brilliant song about thinking you know a lot from learning within your culture but then discovering there are people who know and imagine a lot more than you can even though they appear to do less with their lives.

    The rumour is that Mike Scott wrote this song about Prince. Mike Scott later denied that, but Prince covered the song (you can find it on youtube) at a gig and changed the lyrics to "I saw the whole of the moon" so obviously, Prince chose to believe the rumour!

    Shawn & Mel this song is from one of my all time favorite albums "This Is The Sea". I was lucky enough to see The Waterboys live & met them. The singer , Mike Scott is a great songwriter. He's from Scotland & is the founder , singer & songwriter , he is The Waterboys. The guy in the red shirt & glasses playing keys is Karl Wallinger who had his own band called World Party. They had a hit with a song called "Ship Of Fools". You guys should do that song , i think you'd like it.

    This song is old, but has been lighting up the interwebs heavy for the last six months. "Wowwwww" has been the most common reaction - it is unexpected. And then the lyrics. I believe within the music world, this is considered a GREAT TUNE. There are lots of covers; great covers too.

    Oh so glad to see you two getting to the Waterboys. They're a great band. Been a fan since A girl called Johnny, early 80's.
    This is the sea and Fisherman's Blues highly recommended albums.
    Another good one, y'all.

    Always a surprise to see The Waterboys on a reaction channel. The classic, cup half-full, half-empty song which I frequently go to when my cup is running on empty. This is a fine album, and "Fisherman's Blues" has even more of a Celtic feel. I'd like the rabbit hole, but you're not going to get enough votes. Thanks for upload.

    Was looking to play some Waterboys & came across this.
    The Waterboys are / were a very popular up and coming band from the early 80s to now. They played with U2 and could have been one of them greatest ever bands however Mike Scott did not want to take that path but rather keep a lower profile.

People were up dancing and there was this huge sing-along. The experience was so good, it was played again! Take a listen to World Party's "Ship of Fools" led by Waterboys former member Karl Wallinger.

      Wet Wet Wet " Love is all around me" would be a great song to react to. It is a cover though from the 1960's band the Troggs. The Troggs also did Wild Thing and some other big songs which slip my mind right now.

    This song make the good example about one thing : There's no way 2000's music can beat the 80-90's in composition, mood and soul inside the song.
    Today musicians were to much depending on computer to make the tunes. They've synthesized almost every sound & tune they made with DAW and other programs.
    Yes they were fast & easy to composed, yes they were nice to heard......but much of them sounded so robotic and plain.
    No pop up background melody
    No sudden improve of vocals or instruments
    No Soul and Mood in every chain of notes
    Just sounded like automaton everyday alarm clock...
    I really miss the old days music, when composers really composed the music from their heart.....not from CPU & Microchips
