Miriam and grew up in the same suburb of Johannesburg , South Africa, although we never actually met - she has such a beautiful voice and is also most beautiful ❤
WOW Mike Oldfield + Miriam Stockley!!! Singing my favourite song! I have some of Miriams work, NEVER seen here before shorter than I imagined but WHAT a stunner, vocally and physically - superb arrangement!
Mike is using the same guitar in his performances. The amazing power is felt behind this song with the orchestra. Beautiful!!!! Viva to Mike Oldfield and all the singers of this songs, excellent job Miriam.
you people in Europe seem to forget that Mike is very well known in Canada. We are a very dedicated fan base. If Mike would ever acknowledge the existence of this Country,well, that would be very cool.
Mike Oldfield & John Miles need to collaborate on an album. That would rock the world! Both superlative artists and both know how to integrate melodies & instruments to amazing effect.
Moonlight Shadow Mike Oldfield The last that ever she saw him Carried away by a moonlight shadow He passed on worried and warning Carried away by a moonlight shadow Lost in a riddle that Saturday night Far away on the other side He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight And she couldn't find how to push through The trees that whisper in the evening Carried away by a moonlight shadow Sing a song of sorrow and grieving Carried away by a moonlight shadow All she saw was a silhouette of a gun Far away on the other side He was shot six times by a man on the run And she couldn't find how to push through I stay, I pray See you in heaven far away I stay, I pray See you in heaven one day Four a.m. in the morning Carried away by a moonlight shadow I watched your vision forming Carried away by a moonlight shadow Stars move slowly in a silvery night Far away on the other side Will you come to talk with me this night? But she couldn't find how to push through I stay, I pray See you in heaven far away I stay, I pray See you in heaven one day Far away on the other side Caught in the middle of a hundred and five The night was heavy and the air was alive But she couldn't find how to push through Carried away by a moonlight shadow Carried away by a moonlight shadow Far away on the other side But she couldn't find how to push through
Miriam Stockley is superb. She went a long way from being a backing vocalist in the winning 1997 Eurosong (courtesy of Mr. Blair) Love shines a light (Katrina and the Waves).
Did you know this woman is the same woman who sang on 98% of Stock Aitken Waterman records from 1987-1992, including all of PWL's Kylie, Jason Donovan, Sinitta, Hazell Dean and Sonia songs. She was a backing vocalist and often sang on top of Kylie / Sinitta on the tracks as a Ghost singer because the original artists voice were not strong enough !!!!!
Indeed unfortunately her sister didn't go to UK with her. No sweat she a seriously good singer.....one of SA's best. Mike Oldfield wouldn't have used her otherwise. Maggie Reilly was the original singer and she's still AMAZING!!!!!
What are you complaining about, Canada gets a lot more than its share of the best concerts. 2 or 3 times each summer if I want to see the megashows of the year I have to drive from my home in New England to Quebec City to catch them: Roger Waters, ZZ Top, Aerosmith, Van Halen (with David Lee Roth what a treat), Paul McCartney, you name it. They all go there, big outdoor shows, but they don't come to Boston or even NYC.
OK, Miriam's certainly a very decent, confident follow up for Maggie Reilly, although I prefer the latter's voice. It only has to do with small details and accentuations; not with the core of the job nor with nostalgicisms... Reilly's switch from the soft parts to the parts that should be sung a tiny bit more 'agressive' in the refrain is better. Still, Miriam surely has lots of stage presence and vocal abilities. Well, otherwise I'm sure she wouldn't be alongside legendary Oldfield of course !
