This song is a fucking masterpiece. People who compose this music leave me in awe that the can channel/create this incredible music. It's transformative and, if there's such a word, transportative in that it takes me to a much deeper and magical world.
Great song, as it always was. Beth Orton is utterly hypnotic, mesmerising, captivating. There's something about her eyes and her velvet voice - she never fails to transport me to a higher plane of consciousness, borne away from the travails and mundanity of daily life, helped of course by the warm, enveloping, transcendental acoustical landscapes William paints. Who needs drugs to get high... all I need is this song. Meanwhile, I am struck by the realisation that Beth is nearly old enough to be my mother, yet I still fancy her all the same, even now... and from the pics I've seen, she's hardly aged in two decades since the Strange Cargo era. Oh, if only I hadn't been four years old at the time of this gig...
And you start swimming and swimming And swimming and swimming And you never stop swimming until you reach the ocean And you're swimming into the sunset without me And I find myself suddenly waking up And there are four young girls Giving me water from a vine leaf Just dropping it onto my tongue Nothing more You surround me Break on through Release me Nothing more......
Please tell us where this was performed!! Absolute masterpiece...no one left anything on the?? that nite. Im so blessed my children take the time to appreciate the genius Willy &all the talent he encompasses&may i say 'nurtures'. We all know exactly where we were when this song played.... climbing the coastal pass(hwy 26) from home to meet Badens daddy, Motshwari Obopile@#12 in Rockaway Beach, Oregon. Turn our children/loved ones/perfect strangers onto the magic that is music folks!!
Was at this gig - WO still seemed like the cognoscenti’s secret at this point - my word did he go on to even greater things... what a talent. Beth did alright too...
this is such an original piece of music, not to mention this performance! (!!) we are so lucky to experience this! through time! and space... perfection and artistic "ecstasy" -- being for the work as it is being made ... performed ..the rest of the world does not exist... amazing, really... true art...
An experience that I cannot explain. Draws me in and draws me out and just keeping going in a circle, I always end up at the beginning which has no end. Mind blowing,Mystical,They tapped into something not from our time. Could it the past or the future?….Or both I have entered the “ Twilight Zone”
I hope we don't have to wait until William Orbit's dead before he gets the accolades he deserves. He is a true genius, and a criminally unknown one at that. he prodiuced Madonna's only masterpiece, and then suffered from severe depression. So sad, but he's doing much better
If anything, he's overplaying it. Too many flashy fills and rolls, especially towards the end. There's a drum cover on Phil Minal's channel (if it's not live yet, it'll be coming out in the next couple of days) which is rather more understated...
Hi what show was this from.? Awesome thanks, saw WO twice in the day? And have most of Beth’s and WO s albums. What a time for music, still goes on. All love Namaste
Thank you so much for this video! I have had such a hard time finding live video from this GENIUS. I am trying to gather more videos to make a playlist of William Orbit and I will make sure that in my description that you get credit for uploading this obscure footage. When I finish it I will let you know so we can share! If you like Orbit, you will more than likely appreciate AIR, come to my channel & check out my AIR playlist. Take care. BIG Thankx again! ~pamela
I don't hate it and I am a big fan of both William Orbit and Beth Orton. However... in this performance Beth Orton is in some parts of the song singing slightly out of tune. I am only mentioning this because I experience real physical pain in my head and guts listening to someone not hitting the perfect note ( I hate that about myself but I can't help it ) That is the reason I never go to live performances. If someone can relate please enlighten me about why I get that experience.
Beautiful live version of one of my favorite songs ever!
I am so glad to have found this after so many years of LOVING this song. I actually felt tears welling up. This is so incredible!
It's a masterpiece what a combination 😁😊
Release me . . .
AMBIENT music LIVE with the young Beth Orton on the mic! LEGENDARY! 🔥
Amazing version of an amazing song. Gives me flashbacks from all the acid I took in the 90s
I would love to see this live today with both Beth Orton and William Orbit!!! 😭😭😭
William Orbit is without doubt one of this country's greatest unsung artists
They have the same last name.
@@masterofmen7438 no they don't... Orton and Orbit aren't the same thing. He's actually called William Wainwright, anyway.
is it possible? hmmmmmm... stars aligning
I love CZcams and the internet so much. A chance to see truly great music that I missed out on seeing when it was released and/or "hot". Thanks!

Mind your language.
@@oldones59 mind your own bidniz, prude
Dude I so so agree.. this man's music changed my life

Ha. Nice one. I think you have good
Taste, young sir!
@@jerryross3438 thanks! Unfortunately, Beth banned me from her Facebook page over a polite political disagreement... hey ho!
This is on my play list for long rides out. This track takes me back in time, and it will never sound old or dated.
The best version.
I cannot watch this enough! So brilliant to see this live! I must go now as I'm going to watch it again! 😄😄
And you start swimming and swimming
And swimming and swimming
And you never stop swimming until you reach the ocean
And you're swimming into the sunset without me
And I find myself suddenly waking up
And there are four young girls
Giving me water from a vine leaf
Just dropping it onto my tongue
Nothing more
You surround me
Break on through
Release me
Nothing more......

God bless the uploader of this video. You reached freaking sainthood !
Nice one, I'd never heard this live before. It's great when a bedroom genius takes music live, Banco de Gaia live band was banging !
"Bedroom music" indeed... good one.
Just so lovely ❤
My goodness ! The live performance is as good as if not better than the album studio version.
When this track broke in 1994, we played the hell out of it at The Zone in Downtown Beaumont!
Was it 94? Shoot, man.
Who cares Nothing worth talking about comes out of your country
just pure, raw emotion. Orbit and Orton are geniuses.
just discovered this live version in 2018!
You are 4 years ahead of me LOL.. What a find !! : )
i am born 1987. i die in peace because i was able to hear this song.i want nothing more.
so many memories 🖤 There's a before and after the first time I heard this song...
Gives me goosebumps...every time.
Hi have had this album for many years and its awesome to see this live performance. GREAT!"
Oh man, what a peformance. I would love to see and hear that live. Just amazing.
A truly beautiful piece of music.
I would have killed to see this live!
Man do I ever wish I'd seen this show.
Holy fuck! This is amazing, other worldly. I never knew this existed. Beyond words. Brilliant!
top tune
I heart Beth!!
I loved William Orbit and her music! I wish they released more :(
this is such an original piece of music, not to mention this performance! (!!)
we are so lucky to experience this! through time! and space...
perfection and artistic "ecstasy" -- being for the work as it is being made ... performed ..the rest of the world does not exist...
amazing, really... true art...
Yep, Peter. Agree!
Who were the backing band musicians? Really top notch players!
Mr. Wainwright...like no other ! RIGHTEOUS !
just discovered this amazing live version today!!
What an awesome performance. Thanks for posting.
Strange cargo…….love it!
+Corrinne Drummond and i love Water From A Vine Leaf

Absolutely wonderful, love it 😍😍😍

William Orbit is obviously a genius…
even better live than on record
Just Excellent!....Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic music and a great tune! thanks for the upload!
An experience that I cannot explain. Draws me in and draws me out and just keeping going in a circle, I always end up at the beginning which has no end.
Mind blowing,Mystical,They tapped into something not from our time. Could it the past or the future?….Or both
I have entered the “ Twilight Zone”
This is gold, how have I missed this. THX
Why did I get emotional every time I hear this?
❤️ very nice ❤️
William Orbit and ...The incredible Beth Orton !!
I hope we don't have to wait until William Orbit's dead before he gets the accolades he deserves. He is a true genius, and a criminally unknown one at that. he prodiuced Madonna's only masterpiece, and then suffered from severe depression. So sad, but he's doing much better
Beau 😊
Hate that I can only hit LIKE but once....
drums, synth, bass.... all there. Theres a Seale song that starts out like this. lol
Love the drummer, just chilling.
If anything, he's overplaying it. Too many flashy fills and rolls, especially towards the end. There's a drum cover on Phil Minal's channel (if it's not live yet, it'll be coming out in the next couple of days) which is rather more understated...
Brilliant!
Absolutely brilliant. Oh to have been there.
magic
Real pity about the glitches. This is so amazing.
Totally awesome Thank you for posting!!!! Yay ! You just made my day!
Holy crap :)
So talented
Sound so clean....

Happy New Year! ;)

Yes, but only VHS video.
@@jeremybromley do you have it? I'd love to see it
@@DjRenigade I do, I'm working on transcribing it to digital sometime later this year.
@@jeremybromley badass!
What would I've given for attending this live, If I knew them then? Perhaps an arm or a leg
who are all these musicians anyway?
Its a crime no more then 525 people know this?
