Other songs which fall into the same category of brilliance are "Sweet Marie" by "Hothouse Flowers", "Cathie's song" by "Paul Simon", "Patience" by "Guns'N'Roses" and "The Palace Guard" by "Rick Nelson". Strange Boat is a brilliant song and if you like it you should investigate the others! a personal lament | Reviewer: nobody ------ About the song The whole of the moon performed by The Waterboys The most beautiful woman I've ever known, whose heart I inadvertently and unknowingly broke said this song would always remind her of me. I hope that she's heard it recently. As I think about her often. I wasn't always cargo, I was once cannon fodder. I hope you are well Ariel. The truth? | Reviewer: Dubiosus rex ------ About the song The whole of the moon performed by The Waterboys If you listened to pagan place, you can hear the attitude of the singer, that's my thought. In tha 80's I liked this song very much without understanding the whole text. Now it came along/back in the moment I examined the moon. If you look at the whole thing you will wonder if they only knew or have been prophetic. Love the song... Searching for meaning¨! | Reviewer: rebeka ------ About the song The whole of the moon performed by The Waterboys I ve heard that the singer was influenced great deal by a christian writer C.S.Lewis, he also studied phylosophy, so I d suggest that this song is about finding the meaning of life. It is about spiritual things, you can wander out in the world, looking for it in the wrong places, reaching half way always. He was afraid to accept the truth totally... she not just accepted it,but she was actively involved! she cut through lies!was not afraid to accept and go deep once she found it, and she didnt even have to go out of her room in order to find it.In "This is the sea", there is a song about Spirit, tells much of the singer s deeper spiritual yearnings. anyway, not a shallow song! I d like it to mean exactly this! I d like it to echo his interest in Christianity! Many people see just crescent, think that s it, but she saw the whole of the moon, it can be seen: the whole of the moon and one can go too far, too high, too soon!it s possible to know the whole truth! It is possible to see the world with God s eyes, to see the total picture! Iona | Reviewer: wayne brown ------ About the song Iona Song performed by The Waterboys My girlfrind & I saw the Waterboys in Boston Nov 07 , second time we've seen them , and really enjoyed the show . This song played live was very dreamy with an almost haunting sound . Kudos to Mike Scot and the band for more great music . What does it mean? | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song And a bang on the ear performed by The Waterboys I really like this song... but I am not sure I understand what "a bang on the ear" means. Does it mean he is sending her his love with a song? Thanks... this is driving me nuts. Connie Fantastic | Reviewer: Gonzo ------ About the song A rock in a weary land performed by The Waterboys I love this song so much! It is long, but the whole this is amazing. There is a huge choir singing almost all through and it is phenomenal. Definitely worth buying or downloading. Red Army Blues | Reviewer: Bernie Bawsax ------ About the song Red Army blues performed by The Waterboys One of my all time favourite songs, was looking for the lyrics tonight to settle an argument about whether this song was written from a German or Russian perspective. I won!!! Who are you? | Reviewer: Nick Brook ------ About the song The whole of the moon performed by The Waterboys "Everything I did I did tentatively, hesitantly, rationally, realistically, normally... while you weren't afraid to let go; to feel and dream. To me you seemed to instinctively and optimistically understand how to live. You may not even have realized it yourself, you were too busy just doing it. Maybe even drugs. I envy that, and you, but you were too good at it, you went too hard at it. You did all I never could or never dared to but it was too much. Maybe it destroyed you..." But who are you? Friend? lover? Enemy? Who I want to be? Who am I? Are we the same person? A beautiful lamentation | Reviewer: David ramsdell ------ About the song Oh Shenandoah performed by The Waterboys As a lifelong resident of the shenandoah valley, through which the river runs, this song has always filled my heart with pride and has brought a tear into my eye on more than one occasion. I can understand the deep emotional connection that the writer of this song so beautifully expresses through the lamentation of having to leave it. It's always been on my top ten list of patriotic songs and is a heart felt expression be american ideals. Hoody | Reviewer: Thomas ------ About the song Sweet thing performed by The Waterboys For those of you that have never heard the w.boys do this, enjoy.....Written by lennon and Morrison (Van), this is one of the finest remakes ever. Great instruments, great vocals....Nothing against Van, but this guy (Mike Scott) can really sing....Wish they were still around...They may be but I haven't heard.... Symapthy, more like support for Icke | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Sympathy for David Icke performed by The Waterboys Thank you gratefully Water boys. You have finnaly put into a song what millions are saying to each other. Icke has managed to do in his short life what many don't manage in a few life times. What he says is no suprise to any of the ancient peoples of the world, who know more than we give them credit for. Some of th most ancient scriptures from India more or less spell out what he claims the exstensive research has deleivered. I think its time to get Icke out of the closet and to show the world what is really going on. I feel time is running out for many who will unquestiningly choose to become zombie slaves, by accepting the dreadful microchip. It is the end of freedom and its already here. Keep the concious lyrics coming water boys, its time to crack that glass ceiling of truth and liberation. Down with the lizards! Peace and love forever XXXXXX now i know I'm in love | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Come live with me performed by The Waterboys that describes perfectly my relationship right now..very beautiful.
