Elation - Live from the Roundhouse From the album We The Collective produced by John Leckie Levellers Acoustic Tour - June & July 2018 in the UK & Europe Filmed by Blacklight Productions www.levellers.co.uk
1997. I was working in a pub in Twickenham, like a good Aussie girl does. This song came over the jukebox. I was instantly caught by it, and raced through an order desperately hoping I could get it done in time to run to the 'box to catch the band name and the title of the song. Bought "Mouth To Mouth" the next day and fell in love with the Levellers. 23 years later and counting, and this song still moves me to the depths of my soul every time, the album is still one of my favourites, and I'm chuffed that they are still performing.
Northern England, '92.....12 year old boy first heard "Carry Me" from Weapon called the word album, via friend's older brother........stil love their music, depth of lyrics, and political philosophy! Outstanding!
I have" I'll be your queen , I'll be your mother " tattooed on my arm and my daughter has " I'll be your mystical child " on hers , as this used to be her lullaby xxxx
Oh there was once a man who had lost his own smile And he wandered the country mile after mile Never quite knowing what he wanted to find For his heart it lay heavy with the weight of his mind And he looked at the land through the tears in his eyes For he knew that there were those who would will her to die And he wept for his mother as he lay at her feet And he heard a voice singing him softly to sleep I'll be your queen, I'll be your mother - I'll be your mystical child Be your best friend, your lover - Your wife for all time Will there ever be another, in this life of mine Will there ever be another, like my mystical child So he climbed a high hill and he looked out to sea And he heard a voice calling out softly to him Open your heart boy for it needs to be free And the next time you're crying come running to me So he walked through the valleys the trees and the fields And he came to a river where she waited for him And they looked at the water of life flowing by And he heard a voice saying 'you're not alone in the fight' ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
30+ years ago I fell in love with the Levellers and the music they make & I am pleased to say they never once stopped being relevant in my life, other music has come and gone but the Levs really are eternal. My partner and grown children all feel the same way
Feeling down. Stick the Levs on and everything seems alright 👍 Love them. Always been in my life too. Seen them live more than any other band. Miss Simon tho. Goods to see him on this.
The way this song builds is epic. It reaches the very depths of the soul. The vibrations I feel in my gut at a live concert is something else. Best band ever.✌🏻❤️
Oh a child so well. I not waiting. But have been in my illl. Found in peace in mind. Oh well morn is over. What a relief for people. Life is just like. Its just great.
This was my favorite track of that album played it over and over again when it was released. As other people have commented they have massively improved upon it.
This is (in my opinion) the best levellers track and yes I know there has been many but this chills my soul,so haunting sad but happy all rapped in 5 56 of pure beauty
I saw this as part of the Levellers’ acoustic set at the Cropredy2018 festival. One of the most amazing live performances I’ve ever seen, just a magical and powerful thing to witness with 20,000 people in a field. Seeing it live, the didgeridoo sounded louder in the mix, I could literally feel it shaking my rib cage. Goosebumps.
That sounds amazing 💗 i was at the Preston leg of this tour, and with it being quite an intimate performance it brought me 2 tears, my first ever Levellers gig after hoping to see them live for many years and never quite managing it but i can certainly say that the patience definitely payed off. Absolutely beautiful 💖 and Goosebumps a plenty i can tell ya ;xD
We saw them perform this at Buxton Opera House, and it was just as electrifying! My husband came across Mark in the pub afterwards, and told him it was probably the best he'd seen the band, but I don't think Mark could quite believe him.. It really was an incredible performance. I'll never forget it. :)
Saw the Levellers a few days ago.Got my tickets for Buxton Opera House next year and hotel booked. Can't wait. Been seeing the Levellers for about 30 years now.
You know shit getting real when the guy playing the quiet boingggg boingggg thing you can hardly hear .but you know it's like serious Mystical Child shit..going on
Anyone know if there are any other recordings likely to be made available from this show? If it was anything like this I would love to see it. The Moulettes add so much to this!
Power is really a mind set. No of you understand him. You don't want to know him. Now time gone. I have repeated my mind set up and see nature to me. Power is will and will is a mind set no fixing nothing else.
First song I ever heard when I was born in 2003, fuck 21 Savage and Kendrick Lamar. This speaks the truth 😊, saw them live In Hereford Cathedral this year, front row. I'll always love this song.
I have been disconnected from The Levellers for many years, saw them many times in the 90s in my teens and 20s. Guess I have missed a lot, they still rock and I still get those chills listening.
What really i think about all of our life is what we all think but never say. How redicusless life is and other life can be hard or soft. My heart is betting and that bigger than two people who are in love. I can see both dark and light understand even time the same. I lol at it all. I found happiness in that fact. Men lol so can I
The acoustic tour was simply brilliant - thanks so much guys (saw it at the Barbican in York - went with my daughter who was born around the time I first started listening to this great band, she loves them as well. Lovely evening)
I all grow up I going to be sixth form now on. I understand men who way are fill of lies because you sound like you understand him. Men say you don't even understand a man understand you fought him. Lady say understand because they love male people.
You don't get ever thing you want in any life. So make sure you're optunity work for you not against you. I still breathe and stand in my own aims in my life and like life is away changing that scientific knowledge
