Anyone here like music by the Waterboys?
This is who they are: http://www.ceolas.org/artists/Waterboys.html

And here are the lyrics to a very short, neat little song:

Man gets tired / Spirit don't
Man surrenders / Spirit won't
Man crawls / Spirit flies
Spirit lives when man dies

Man seems / Spirit is
Man dreams / The spirit lives
Man is tethered / Spirit is free
What spirit is / Man can be
—The Waterboys / Spirit

The Whole Of The Moon was the first song I heard by them and is what got me interested. I also like Don't Bang The Drum and Fisherman's Blues.

I'm so glad at least one person here has heard of them! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Another person reporting... Even though my knowledge doesn't go much further than My love is my rock from the most recent album IIRC... Quite an impressive song. Never really got the time to check out more of their music, though.

Check the link skywalker put in his initial post... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Who Were They? The Waterboys were a folk-rock group led by Scotsman Mike Scott from 1981-1993. The style and membership changed dramatically through the life of the group, revolving always around Scott. It started as a 'big music' (their own term) rock group, then moved to Ireland where they took on a more folky, lyrical sound.
Their Music The band always revolved around Mike Scott, whose intense presence and lyrics are the characteristics of the band. The initial three albums are rock music, with a big, epic sound to them. The next two were recorded in Ireland, with a number of Irish traditional musicians, and are more laid back and lyrical, with Room to Roam being even more folky than Fisherman's Blues. Scott moved to New York, back to rock and recorded Dream Harder with a completely new lineup, and style. Dream Harder was a commercial flop and disregarded by many Waterboys fans.
