A hyper special moment for The Waterboys, the song "The Whole of the Moon" puts them in the map of the world after being a familiar name in Scotland. Thanks to a special
performance in this music video the song became a hit in many countries out there. A poetic sophiscated and powerful song, performed in a great manner by the group, all
on stage with many blue-ish shades.
It's a little strange that the same video actually has two versions of the song played, or at least I managed to watch two different versions, difference being in the audio with one version playing the song exactly as it is, album and/or radio version, and another version where the violin makes some effects, great alligned with the fiddle player who steals the show with his appearance (it doesn't make any sense his appearance in the former version since you can't hear him at all, yet he's very charismatic while playing and feeling the music).
A splendorous sound along with the energy brought by each member of the group makes of "The Whole of the Moon" a special experience to be seen and heard, and unlike many video performances out there which are usually tedious or repetitive, this one is something else, something great. 10/10.
