This is more like Kate Bush than Kate Bush herself. Even the backing is Bush-esque. Or is she guest singer on this song?

You have to add "the return of the pan" to the playlist!

I've always been a little "meh" on this song, but I do enjoy the rhyme of "whole of the moon" with "Brigadoon".

Bleh.
Jennifer Warnes does a much better job of Scott's tune, IMO.

Terry Reid's version on The Driver is so much cooler than the Waterboys. Also listen to Fifth of July and Look at Life, plus of course The Driver 1 & 2 featured in Aspen High.

AND WHAT ABOUT "THE PAN WITHIN"? ANOTHER GREAT SONG FROM THE WATERBOYS. IT'S NOT INCLUDED IN THE ALBUM "THE BEST". BY FAR BETTER THAN OTHER SONGS THERE.

Legend has it that he left the Waterboys, holed up alone in a cabin to record the entire White Album, note for note, sound for sound, playing all the instruments, then emerged a year later and recorded Goodbye Jumbo. I love that story. And that album.
Correction: main singer and songwriter was and is Mike Scott. I'll have to check out Goodbye Jumbo, though. It sounds interesting. |

If you want to hear a terrific remake of this song, check out Peter Mulvey's version on Rapture. There is a studio version and then a solo acoustic version that he recorded while playing in a Boston subway. Outstanding.
