Foy Vance has a massive underground fan base. He has had songs featured on "House MD" and "Greys Anatomy" But the mainstream media just won't give him a break. He talent has been compared with Van Morrison and Otis Reading. The media here in Northern Ireland virtually blank him out. But he is still pushing onward and upward. People only have to hear him sing "Gabriel and the Vagabond" or "Indiscriminate Act of Kindness" and they're hooked. The sound on this video isn't the best quality but have a look at some of the better quality posts.
I started with Make it Rain and was hooked. Such emotion in his voice he makes Ed Sheerans version sound like shit. He definitely has a new fan here in the states.
Just found this video. I’ve seen Foy several times in Switzerland, and most recently a few months ago in Atlanta. I introduced myself at a restaurant before the show and he was so kind and welcoming. He will always be one of my favorite musicians.
I see him on the daily when he is in scotland as where i live he comes and stays alot and i dance with his daughter ella, they are honestly the most genuine people i know
@@katieanderson282 Sorry to ask, but as I'm planning a road trip of a couple weeks in Scotland next year, what's the name of the town where you live? Meeting Foy would mean for me more than anything else, been following since 12 years or so and only had one chance so see him live
Just discovered Foy Vance recently ...amazing performer !Nearly 75k views ..7 dislikes ...I guess.... "there all out of step with our Johnny .." 😂😂😂He is also a quality guitarist . 🍀🍀🍀
I’ve only just discovered Mr Vance - I’m totally blown away his voice - extraordinary and lyrics wonderful He’s my new Springsteen and some !! Wonderful musician 👍❤️
Foy is a great artist. I know the problem being suppressed by mainstream media but as true musician who’s creating songs from the heart inspired by real life experiences there’s no other option than staying honest all the way. It’s a rocky road to love.
One, two, three We're on the permanent red The glaze on my eyes When I heard your voice The distance caught me by surprise again And I know you claim that you're alright But fix your eyes on me I guess I'm all you have And I swear you'll see the dawn again Well I know I had it all on the line But don't just sit with folded hands and become blind 'Cause even when there is no star in sight You'll always be my only guiding light Relate to my youth Well I'm still in awe of you Discover some new truth That was always wrapped around you But don't just slip away In the night Don't just hurl Your words from on high Well I know I had it all on the line But don't just sit with folded hands and become blind 'Cause even when there is no star in sight You'll always be my only guiding light If we come back and we're broken Unworthy and ashamed Give us something to believe in And you know we'll go your way 'Cause I know I had it all on the line But don't just sit with folded hands and become blind 'Cause even when there is no star in sight You'll always be my only guiding light And I know I had it all on the line But don't just sit with folded hands and become blind 'Cause even when there is no star in sight You'll always be my only guiding light
Well the road is wide, And waters run on either side, And my shadow went with fading light, Stretching out towards the night. 'Cause the Sun is low, And I yet have still so far to go, My lonely heart is beating so, Tired of the wonder. But there's a sign ahead, Though I think it's the same one again, And I'm thinking 'bout my only friend, And so I find my way home. When I need to get home You're my guiding light, You're my guiding light. When I need to get home, You're my guiding light, You're my guiding light. Well the air is cold, And yonder lies my sleeping soul, By the branches broke like bones, This weakened tree no longer holds. But the night is still, And I have not yet lost my will, Oh and I will keep on moving 'till, 'till I find my way home. When I need to get home, You're my guiding light, You're my guiding light. When I need to get home, You're my guiding light, You're my guiding light. When I need to get home, You're my guiding light, You're my guiding light.
Saw Foy last Night in Seattle WA. I would see a thousand Foy Vance concerts before going to one Ed Sheeran show. And Ed is pretty good. Foy is just that great, IMO.
so so beautiful, thanks to my sister Deirdre for directing me to this beautiful song. I wish I could get a chance to sing with them. Really beautiful music
Foy Vances Stimme hat mehr Volumen und Eds Stimme ist sanfter/klarer. Foys Musik orientiert sich am Irish Folk und Eds Musik an Pop. Das könnte der Grund sein warum jüngere Menschen seltener seine Musik hören 😢
