My sweet bride had a recording of this song back in 90's when I met her in Seward AK....I was a commercial fisherman since 16yo.....she swore "if you want me as your bride you must work on the beach" which, I did..and would do again a thousand times over....I lost her two years ago...she's the best part of me.

Lost a great friend from mayo last weekend in tragic Circumstances! A fisherman, A builder, A framer, A friend, A father, A genius. RIP to Alan Callaghan

Four chords. Who needs more when you have Scott's talent? Unbelievably good song.

Every time I see Steve play this tune, he plays it with the enthusiasm of someone who's just discovered it for the first time. What a pro.

Great version of a song that got me and probably many others through the lowest points.

I read somewhere ages ago that Mike Scott wrote this song in flight from New York to London in mere minutes while looking down at the calm sea. One of my favourite songs ever ❤. Light in my head, you in my arms

Absolutely my go to video when I'm feeling down. Brilliant

Always gets to me. One of the most beautiful songs ever.

What an uplifting song. That violin is EVERYTHING! 💗💗💗💗 Waking Ned Devine.

All these years amd Mike's voice is still perfect live

I just saw this version for the first time. They did well. I'm just learning the song. It might be one of the best songs I've heard. Pure

You can always tell a great artist, he never takes his songs for granted.

Mike and Steve have played this wonderful song hundreds of times, yet they still enjoy entertaining us -- you can see it in their faces.

Acoustic is pure and true, what you hear is what they play, honest and real, what a great performance on both parts, thanks for this :-)

My wife and I went to see them in the Philharmonic in Liverpool. They where on for at least two hours. They were unbelievable. His warm act was a guy called David Bovva or Bovver. He was brilliant also. A great night.

after hearing this over 30 years ago. Today I still love listening to the fisherman, a sound that sounds like a melody. Good luck to everyone

Excellent Band and Mike is so down to earth. I asked him how to play a few of his songs he showed me through a video on Patreon. Will see them soon in Glasgow.

Lovely to find this. I was at the recording, at BBC Maida Vale Studios. About 90 minutes of chat and tunes in the middle of the day, and you leave thinking "was I really there?". Thanks to those who made this happen.

No joke, im easily responsible for 3k of the 193k views....this is mesmeric, the passion of these 2, especially steve on the fiddle and his feet going 90mph...class

What a privilege to have witnessed this performance...

This will forever be one of my favorites.. 👀

The first song I ever learnt guitar for, my fave song to play to people!

Yes seen them at the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow they were Amazing. 🎸🎸

What a tune and a very emotional one for me because it was used for a late mates video tribute ❤

This conjures up passion & romance How beautiful ❤

Nourishment for the soul.

its the smile part that gets me and them rocking together pure fucking talent

I see this and my finger involuntary presses play 🕺 💃 !!!

Saw them live a few months ago (November 2021 for my 30th .. and I was alone 😂) they’re really something special and magnificent! X

2020, I wish I was a fisherman far away from COVID 19

Mike Scott, still so hot!

Never sounded better..!

Excellent song, I've been into bit since my early teens in the early 90's. And it resonates well with me since I became a fisherman .
