I like that these two side characters are having this epic duet while the narrator is just kinda third wheeling it.
I know its only been 2 days since you posted this, but this is clearly an underrated comment.
He's just lent against a wall waiting patiently for them to finish.
@@megasuperhyperspeed
Big mistake. Should have leave when he could
@@Minillus No need, he's the main character, he has plot armour.

Parson Nathaniel and Beth having the most epic duet:
The Narrator, eating chips in the corner:
Julie Covington's voice is just ethereal.
So true
She reminds me of Starfire from that Teen titans cartoon
There's a reason why Julie Covington is the original Evita!
Agreed. Her version of don't Cry For Me Argentina is my all time favourite.
ur face is ethereal
I am 75 now, I have lost track of the number of times I have listened to this album, this track and indeed the whole album are absolutely timeless classics…
Some prefer sound of music? Not I !
I'm 33 and have been listening to this album since as long as I can remember my mum playing it when I was a young child. ❤️
My parents bought me this , one of the first LP I ever owned and still listen today. Love Phil Lynotts singing on this.
I'm 'model' 77', but 70's prog & classic rock albums are my favorites. I discovered this album relatively late, but it's one that gives me goosebumps.
62 years old, same here.
Tonight started singing The spirit of man out of the blue, when walking the dog in the dark.
I’ve heard so many duos try to replicate this, but no pair is anywhere near as unique as Lynott and Covington
Yeah, the one shown on The Show Must Go On wasn't a patch on this version.
@@ro63rto They have another version up now, haven't heard it yet, but the singers supposed to be better.
@@bganonimouse2754
Watched the entire 2006 show last night. Preferred it to the Liam Neason/Marty Pellow version that was shown a while back.
@@ro63rto I only saw a bit, but will watch later. I did find the Richard Burton animation / thing in the air a bit weird. But agree about Pellow. Apart from his voice, Pellow's presence on stage was quite flat and too emotionless.

Every time I hear that first “No Nathanial” I get goosebumps and shivers.
Takes me back to a 10 year old boy, listening to the 4 album story
4:30
without fail
That final “ too late” from Phil is just spine tingling
Seeing the drug addictions he fighting in is private life then.
YES, HE GAVE THE BEST PERFORMANCE
Boys like Thunder Child. Men appreciate Spirit Of Man.
Legends cry spontaneously to both and forever autumn
I like the red weed and brave now world
The gods themselves will champion the first 3 tracks of the album 😛
Love the "Artilleryman and The Fighting Machine".
The Doomed Bravery of Good Men, and the Indomitable Human Spirit.
Dammit, Phil Lynott was such a talent, tragically lost too soon.
J.Covington Voice of an Angel. P. Lynott Brilliant. Goose bumps always...
Phil Lynott you’re a legend…Unbelievable talent taken way too soon
Well it was self inflicted abuse really
LOVED THAT GUY MESMERISING
Heroin will do that mostly.
@@sirandrelefaedelinoge sad sac
@@garyroberts1496 Ahh, Gary Roberts, the voice of reason in a world gone mad!
“No Nathaniel, no, there must be more to life
There has to be a way that we can restore to life the love we used to know…”
Is there something worth living for!!!!
Forget about goodness and mercy! They're gone.....

Pray, I said! Destroy the Devil, I said!
But no. They wouldn't listen.
No There is Nothing
...so much of humanity wrapped in this one song...
My favorite chapter of Part Two...the way Phil Lynott and Julie Covington go back and forth is masterful. I still have my original vinyl copy from '78 (a Christmas gift from my mother) and remains one of my most cherished possessions. I still play my CD version yearly. The whole album is an absolute masterpiece!
i have that album too...played it sooooooooo many times growing up
It sure is
Don't ever get rid of it. Pass it down to your kids or grand kids.
Beautiful post..made my day
I was given the album as a Christmas present in 1980...all I knew of it was "Forever Autumn". It's a masterpiece, and this interchange between Phil and Julie is one of the best parts of it.
My Dad used to love this album, and as a kid I used to listen to it with him. Thunderchild was our favorite, there was something beautiful about the last stand and fighting for a lost cause.
He committed suicide 2.5 years ago, and this song has taken a new meaning for me since. I've listened to it a lot since.
I too listened to this album with my father as a child - he introduced me to the kind of music I still adore to this day . Thunderchild was my favorite too and forever autumn. I still start singing a line from this epic album and my dad cant help but join in. I'm so sorry for your loss but I hope you're comforted knowing a daughter is still singing Thunderchild with her dad out there somewhere.
@gotta wonder I just came back from a long shift and reading this has cheered me up. Thank you.
@@bensilk6431And that comment just made my day. Hope your father would like the notion that theres other " Thunder childs" out there still listening.
Sorry about your father mate
Farewell thunderchild 💙
Lately, in times when I feel down, I listen to this song and realize I sound like Nathaniel - one who feels personally responsible for not preventing something completely out of your control. Beth helps sort of calm me… and then the cylinder lands.
You are a nutter
*_"The voice of the Devil is heard in our land!"_*
Chilling
"Forget about goodness and mercy, they're gone."
This is a very angry piece of music. I saw it live in Brisbane Australia, and it still gives me chills
I'm going to watch this live aswell I am really looking forward to it
Guess who's mum named their child after this character..
Add 2 to the collection 😔
I vote Harry’s mum.
You named him after an insane overly religious coward?
@@greenrockgirl5150 At least Nathaniel is a valid religious name on its own but still...
@@nategage Make it 3 xD
This is probably very not true, but has anyone considered the possibility that Beth is a figment of Nathaniel’s imagination? Narrator never acknowledged her, and only responds to Nathaniel. We know that Nathaniel has gone insane, so it isn’t entirely out of the realm of possibility.
I think she does respond to him when he says "we must leave here" and she says the house is still standing.
stupid theory sorry, it is clear she is real.
That's a very interesting take. It is rather strange the narrator never spoke to Beth directly, especially since she enters the scene screaming Nathaniel's name.
@@SaltyFrenchFries moreover, Beth didn't even exist in the novel, where everything happens from the narrator's point of view.
In the words of Nathaniel: I don't believe it's so
What a great song!! I'm 20 yrs old and I'm starting to discover Phil Lynott discography beyond Thin Lizzy... He was such a great artist...
His part was great but definitely listen to the rest of the album/story if you like this. :)
thin lizzy? that voice? really same?
Covid 19 84 don't comply
Lol I'm 21 my mum always puts this on, dare say I find this nostalgic
I couldn't believe my fuckin ears when I found out it was Phil Lynott
I'm 49 now and listened to this on vinyl as a youngster....lots.
My parents got my name from this song.
I've always wanted to name my son Nathaniel after this song, such a beautiful name.
This gives me two great ideas for my future kids’ names. If I have a son, he’ll be Nathaniel, and if a daughter, she’ll be Beth.
@@vicentehizon6202 so if you have a boy and a girl they'd be named after a man and his wife?
@@Penguig it’s only a thought for names
Snap my parents named me Nathanael😁
Best song from the album IMO
Masterpice like the whole album.
I was listening to this album on one really stormy day in South London years ago and this song combined with the weather start to really freak me out. Just goes to show how well this original album was made.
Goddamn that Ulla is goosebump inducing 1:30
It sounds like the martian actually understands them and they’re like “you know you got a point there…”
Or “i hate my job”
Mate it's 'UUUUUUULLLAAAHHHHHH!'
The Martians speak French dude
It sounds so mournful, almost regretting.
@@axjagfilms , For years , I thought that the Martians were saying , " move along ".
I read the narrator's words and they were actually saying , "Ulla", lol.
i Knew that was Phil Lynott's voice, unique unmistakable
and Richard Burton......what a voice
Two of the best singers we ever had and an excellent song.
The whole album is a credit to mans musical and storytelling abilities
The story and music truly made this an excellent master peace
So I've played this a few times for my kids they are 5 and 8 they are walking around saying no Nathaniel no lol
No Nathaniel no.
Lucky! Mine kept saying Uuullllaaaahhhh!😂
same
That bass by the great Herbie Flowers ❤
4:37 that slide… it’s about the perfect musical gesture for this moment.
Phil Lynott’s voice is amazing on this. So much so, it’s hard to hear anyone else but him sing it. Or speak it for the matter. It’s worth the money just hear him say no they’re devils!
If anyone knows how to play a mad priest - it's a crazy Irishman...
You got that right🤣
Who would've ever thought of putting together Phil Lynott and Julie Covington as a duet? And yet......pure beauty. Amazing.
Phil Lynott's voice though..... FFS it makes the hairs stand..... just incredible. It's even more impressive spoken than it is singing.
Major crush on the genious that was Philip Paris Lynott. Exotic from his Father and his stunningly beautiful mother, loved and admired always
There must be something worth living for..
Phil's voice sends chills down my back 4 decades later. The lady singer is great too but Phil is a force of nature.
Julie Covington fantastic singer still remember her from the rock folies.
When hell rains from sky can any blame those that lose their minds?
This is a massive memory of mine... My Brother and myself used to play this on repeat!!! Many memories of my childhood here 🥰
Absolutely beautiful song... but man if I don't chuckle at least a little bit each time I hear "But they're not devils, they're martians!"
Yep, got to stick to the facts!
Not to be confused with Martian dust devils
Such a silly line to be delivered so sincerely.
Loved the cylinder hitting the farmhouse sound effects at the time when released in 1978
And the sound of the glass breaking representing the mental breakdow of the priest.
The ultimate hope for the priest (or humanity). Crush and vanish by a martian spaceship.
This whole record still stands up as a great piece of work. Well worth buying , even today.
* The War of the Worlds.* By Jeff Wayne.
Last month went to a car boot sale and picked up the vinyl war of the world's for the princely sum of £2
After listening to some of this my 6 year old asked me, daddy what is worth dying for. my answer was when your a daddy you'll know the answer to that yourself.
Amazing musical narrative when the Parson becries Beth's death, it's spoken over the melody of her verse, but she's no longer there to sing it 😢 Then the Parson takes up Beth's part but is fully resigned to his doom; the light of Beth's hope has been extinguished with her...
Phil never gets mentioned for this, its brilliant
Phil Lynott rocks this on point with his voice. What a legend ! 7:59
Always loved Herbie Flowers' bass playing on this track ... !
Yes the bass part is fantastic!
Me too! He's a great bassist
He's still doing a jazz breakfast in Brighton.
I can remember as a kid having a 2-3 hour drive back home from our holiday stay. The car radio premiered 'War of the Worlds as Dad drove back. All of us (I think - Dad didn't change the channel...) - were enthralled as we listened. Though all songs were great, this was the one that still grabs me today.
the ulla in this video is the most unique ulla in the entire album
Am I the only 1 who wants to see this album turned into a cgi movie keeping true to the original soundtrack and artwork?
It was going to be but it got cancelled
Why would you think you're the only one
I imagine there is many of us
We are not alone
yes
Parson and his wife: *having an epic duet about retaining hope*
Narrator: Can we get on with this? Mankind is kinda being obliterated as we know it right now.
Best performance on the album. Phil Lynott turning it up to 11 - and dragging everyone else along in his wake.
It followed me since i was a child .. Full Album.. awesome
A perfect description of the way of life as we are living today .. which shows us that there is more to life than fear if we just look and allow our spirits to lead us ... ❤️✨✌🏼
It's love over despair and the madness we have now in the world.
Bro, this is not some song off of spirit and hope, it’s about the War of the Worlds. It’s literally part of the Album.
Not sure if Jeff Wayne picked theses artist - I can only assume he did. His picks were perfect Justin Hayward, Phil Lynott and Julie Covington are amazing along with Richard Burtons voice as the narrator.
Jeff Wayne’s vision on putting this all together is simply brilliant.
The guitar work is truly sensational here.
I had this album 45 years (ish) aged 10 and have listened 1000's of times over the years and never realised Phil Lynott sang and narated the priest until recently. I can hear it's Phil now somebody pointed it out to me, what a great part he played. I think I found this the most haunting yet fascinating part of the whole album. Great music by Jeff Lynn.
Amazing right?
Me to
I remember listening to this on a cassette tape driving around with my friends in the early 80s lol.
My favourite illustration from the album. Such a haunting combination of powerlessness and futility, yet inspiration and hope in one picture. I used to become so engrossed in this one image while listening to the album as a teenager. A picture of hopelessness, yet a powerful faith that I can never quite reconcile in my head as to what it truly represents.
I am 30. I grew up with this music and I often come back to it. Its a masterpiece. My dad loved this musical and because I didnt know english or story back then (it was my first time hearing about War of the Worlds) he told me all about Welles and his radio program, about emotions and thoughts of characters. I was mesmerized and would sit on a couch and listen, imagine everything. 😊 I was so sad when they cancelled the show here in PL back in 2012 (i think?). I was ready to spend all my money to travel to the coast and see it. 😂 I think about my dad whenever I hear it. So grateful he showed me all of this wonderful music. ❤️
Two brilliant artists! Phil Lynott and Julie Covington. Phil was lead for Thin Lizzie and Julie is an artist who carries on. She did Don't cry for me Argentina long before Madonna. Does anyone remember Rock Follies?
one of the finest peices of music this album is one of the great s
The music in war of the worlds makes the whole story sound really sinister. My favourite musical of all time.
Because of this song, I named my son "Nathaniel". Because a) I loved how the name sounded when Julie Covington sang it out, and b) I freakin' love Phil Lynott's work in this role. I probably listened to this album about a hundred times when I was ten years old, no lie. I have sketchbooks full of cartoons and sketches of characters from War of the Worlds. Inarguably the best adaptation of the source material, bar none. Of course the unintended upshot of this decision to name my son Nathaniel was that his big sister couldn't say the name, he was called "Fanuld" and it stuck as his nickname. So now the elegant and vintage name I chose has been rendered to something that sounds like a protagonist from a 1980s fantasy novel.
Been listening to the war of the worlds musical since i was 2, im 20 now, and thank god i grew up knowing of this masterpiece
You were raised right - kudos to your parents 😊
Julie was a great person and a great voice.
Thank you for saying that my Love had a beautiful voice
wynyardjohn I remember her in Rock Follies.
@@joedredd13215 was that in the late 1970s as I was born in 1975
@@tracyhedges6604 mid 70,s is right 👍
What do you mean, "was"?
Did anyone else notice the howl of the Martion was much slower compared to the earlier tracks? I always wondered if this meant the Martians were already succumbing to the Bacteria a good while before they became immobilised?
Eternal masterpiece
And if one man can stand tall, then there's hope for us all.
Possibly the best track one one of the best albums ever recorded.
The Martians be groovin' while listening to this.
This is my favourite song on the album. And at this darkest hour, we all need the spirit of man. The real war has just begun, if you know what I mean.
I hear you. I love forever autumn and Thunderchild but theres not one piece of this album that's not fantastic.
This song has a place these days especially. ✌️🇦🇺🎚
If it was edited slightly, it could be re-released now with Covid 19 as "the devil within us".
@funko freddie & co They try to make a movie of the Jeff Wayne Musical for decades. Steven Spielberg was interested in doing a movie back in 1979 but sent a letter to Jeff Wayne that he's was too busy to do it, which ultimately led to the 2005 Paramount film. Then in 2004, Jeff Wayne announced that they were going a $48 Million budget CGI animated film for a Summer 2008 release. Despite getting a decent way in development such as a completed script, storyboards, concept art and 5 minutes of animation footage plus test footage of the Martian machines been shown online and private conventions, it never happen and all of the assets made for that film was latter used for the 2006-2009 stage shows. They just could never get the funding nor the interest of international backers (mainly American), as the Jeff Wayne Musical is very unpopular in the United States. In the eyes of Hollywood producers, they view it as the 1980 Flash Gordon movie, which was a major hit in the UK and European territories but was a box office bomb in the United States. In the modern Hollywood mindset, if it can't do well in the United States or China then it's not worth making, hints why you see major film studios like Warner Bros and Fox are more willing to make films based on Japanese/Asian franchises like Godzilla, Alita: Battle Angel, & Ghost in the Shell over British/European franchises.
Through if you're interested, here's a link to the test footage for that unmade $48 Million budget Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds CGI animated film to get a taste of what could had been had the film not went under development hell: ua-cam.com/video/VQu0bE15tlQ/v-deo.html
@@s452_Gojisaurus the thing is though, it would be popular in the UK. Especially by me lmao. I was disappointed by the BBC version. It was too bland and boring. It's a shame because if it was a musical it would be 100% better. Honestly though, I reckon a movie might pop up at some point, but I won't expect it to have the highest budget.
@@Chrmel0 There was the 2005 movie, my personal favourite, although I don't really think Tom Cruise was the best man for the role🤣
OOOOOOOOLLLLLAAAAAAA
UUUUULLLLLLAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!
UUUUUULLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

Seen this live.. Fantastic
*We must leave here*
No one will ever beat the official, original audio, no matter how many remasters or retakes.
7:07 This part and forward plays relentlessly in my mind.
Yes we heard thee
Reissue the musical. It’s time we have some good news.
Beth - sanest character in the whole story. Apart from big Jeff - total legend.
The best stereo sound of history.
Thin Lizzy......Phil, you are sorely missed, and always will be ;)
I never realized i loved this song until i awoke singing it! 😆
Two amazing singers and one of the most wonderful voices come together..
Sadly,only Julie is still with us..
These parts, I cannot imagine being carried by any other artists.....majik.
Sometimes, when I'm feeling down, I can identify with Nathaniel's words. Beth's words are a comfort to me in these times. And then, the cyclinder hits...
It's true He never rests.
Leave it to me to sort him out .
A Spirit of Man.
" And there was war in heaven. Michael and his Angels ".
RIP. PHILL. You knew.
Phil Lynott kills this.
Damn Phil I still love you .
Great Soundtrack, forever..👏👏👏👍
Fuckin BANGER🔥
Wooh
my favourite song from war of the worlds
Julie my love girl ❤️🥰♥️
You mean Julie Covington the singer that sang don't cry for me Argentina
1:30 BEST ULLA SOUND EFFECT IN THE ALBUM
I discovered this album a few months ago and can not stop listening to it, every single song goes so goddamn hard
I love War of the worlds can't wait to see it live I absolutely love it I love listening to the album is so interesting and the music is so unique and it's fantastic
