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.
Fuck. Onions over here man. Bless ya
Four chords. Who needs more when you have Scott's talent? Unbelievably good song.
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
Rest in peace Alan, may god grant him the best bed in heaven.
sorry for your loss..🖤
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.
Very prevailing song
Your right, I could imagine him in some old fishing town sitting on the lobster baskets playing his fiddle. Simply amazing

when he presses the piano key...........
Yeah man exactly ❤
Great version of a song that got me and probably many others through the lowest points.
Absolutely my go to video when I'm feeling down. Brilliant
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
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
What an uplifting song. That violin is EVERYTHING! 💗💗💗💗 Waking Ned Devine.
Always gets to me. One of the most beautiful songs ever.
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.
All these years amd Mike's voice is still perfect live
That’s what I was thinking!! A born Natural. 🥰
Yesterday I saw him live and his voice still gets you same way.
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.
Did you make it to their show? ❤
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.
You can always tell a great artist, he never takes his songs for granted.
What a privilege to have witnessed this performance...
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
I might be responsible for another thousand or two meself.
Watched it a few times to
Yes seen them at the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow they were Amazing. 🎸🎸
Mike and Steve have played this wonderful song hundreds of times, yet they still enjoy entertaining us -- you can see it in their faces.
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
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 :-)
This will forever be one of my favorites.. 👀
I see this and my finger involuntary presses play 🕺 💃 !!!
The first song I ever learnt guitar for, my fave song to play to people!
+cuckingfunt1 Well, that was a great choice to start.
This conjures up passion & romance
How beautiful ❤
What a tune and a very emotional one for me because it was used for a late mates video tribute ❤
its the smile part that gets me and them rocking together pure fucking talent
Play your fiddle Steve!!!!! I'm loving this rendition!!!
Saw them live a few months ago (November 2021 for my 30th .. and I was alone 😂) they’re really something special and magnificent! X
Nourishment for the soul.
He’s a good writer. I love his songs especially ‘How long will I love you’.
25 very sad people out there. Brilliant as ever from Mike and Steve.
Shit .. ❤ .. so emotional .. I discovered this band randomly from a best of rock songs or something .. 22 years ago 😂 .. what an amazing song .. Perfectly played here 😢
My dark november just got bearable thanks to the brilliant Fishermans Box. So inspiring. You just wanna go out and start a band. Now.
+gina-s I don't know if you started your band. In case you need an amateur guitar player here I'm. ; )

Damn youtube. Great what you run across accidentally sometimes.
Rivals any version of this song I have heard, and any 'soul' song too.
Especially Mike's rhythm playing at the end. Very inspired.
Great voice

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 .
Uffffff, genial
Mike Scott, still so hot!
