The Whole Of The Moon (The Waterboys) Now taking bookings for 2020/2021 samsimmonssinger samuelsimmons89@outlook.com Filmed by Lola + Joel Filming/Photography lolajoelFP
Every now and then, an absolute beaut of a song comes along and this is one of them. I love trawling through UA-cam and coming across these people who produce a bit of magic.
I discovered the original recently and this version started playing when I was driving my 3 yr old to school. I could tell the song grabbed him and brought him in deep. When it finished he simply said as a 3 year old does, "again daddy". Warmed my heart knowing he can recognise such a beautiful song :)
@@samuelsimmons8078 it was amazing ! We began with your cover version and after this we danced to the original version (dance from 'the affair'). Thank you for this cover version, it was just perfect for our dance ❤
Dear Mr Simmons, This is one of my favourite songs of all time. Your perfect vocals led me almost to tears and gave my wife the biggest kiss in a while. Diolch. Good luck for your future. x
❤❤❤❤ Listening with mum she's 65 years young she put me onto this Song by the water Boys and I've been checking out covers ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Barbara @ Daughter Rachel Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤❤
Hi there Samuel, thank you for spending the time and effort to create such a beautiful cover version of a great song, but your composition is amazing especially with the acoustic guitar always my favourite style of music, just the artist his voice and his acoustic guitar, well done this is by far the best version of this song I've ever heard your very talented and should be proud of your self, thanks so much for sharing this with the world. The day my much loved 15yrs old border collie passed away I found this song, every time I hear it it makes me cry , so I've dedicated this song to him 😅
All dogs know this song as "The Whole of The Bone". I lost my 16yo friend last November, I still miss her more than I can say. Sorry for your loss. It's tough.
I am your 604th subscriber, mainly because of how you treated song. Brilliant. Until I heard this Fiona Apple's cover was the only one I liked. Thank you for this.
One of my favourite songs, and this is the best cover I've ever seen. Found it on a search for acoustic covers of WOTM, and I've been coming back to it regularly for the last couple of years, and then looking through your other videos today I see you're in Alterative Eighties with Rob Cross. I know him, Smithy and Chris from back when Orphan Boy used to play Manchester. I speak to Paul Storr who did your band logo too, but seperately through the design community. Small world! and seriously, incredible cover mate. It hits hard.
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 Hmm, you were there in 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 truth 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 (The whole of the moond) 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, hey yeah! Unicorns and cannonballs, palaces and piers Trumpets, towers and tenements Wide oceans full of tears Flags, rags ferryboats 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
DIDNT KNOW THE ORIGINAL BEFORE THIS AND I MUST SAY I LOVE THIS SO MUCH MORE!!! I CANT BELIVE IT ONLY HAS 51K VIEWS IN 3 YEARS. THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOD! MAN OH MAN I FEEL BLESSED FOR FINDING THIS LOL

The first cover version that I have ever heard that does justice to the unbridled majesty of the song. Brilliant, simply brilliant.
Listen to Brandon flowers from the killers singing this song
Acoustic Odds did a decent job on a drunken pub cover.
Note to self: Never assume that you have heard the best cover of your favorite song. Damn, brother. You moved me. Brilliant.
This version needs to be heard...
Singers like this one deserved the right place. You should make your own songs and make success it's a very good voice really .
Thank you!
I almost forget to breathe watching this. What a stunning cover. Cheers for sharing this with us Samuel
Best version ever. What a guitarist and singer brilliant should have a lot more views Brilliant mate.
Have you heard the version by ‘acoustic odds’?

Absolutely beautiful voice and tune 🌹🎶🌹🎶🌹🎶🌹🎶 This song is stunning no matter what version it is ❤️
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
Hmm, you were there in 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 truth
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
(The whole of the moond) 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, hey yeah!
Unicorns and cannonballs, palaces and piers
Trumpets, towers and tenements
Wide oceans full of tears
Flags, rags ferryboats
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
It's such a superb vibe, and that voice is so clear and powerful. Thank you, 🎉
