Villagers - A Trick of the Light (Live) 

My heart is spilling over Crashing on the ground I can't see what's around me But soon I'll come around My faith is in the balance Of a million tiny words So I return to silence And if I see a sign in the sky tonight No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light May never come, but I'm willing to wait What can I say? I'm a man of the faith And there's an ocean in my body And there's a river in my soul And I'm crying It's time that I let go Of things I can't control This path that I've taken Is the only one I know Well I've come so far to get here And I've got so far to go So I'll take what I can get In matters of the soul And if I see a sign in the sky tonight No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light May never come, but I'm willing to wait What can I say? I'm a man of the faith And there's an ocean in my body And there's a river in my soul And I'm crying And we are the dawn And we carry the sun And we are the dawn And we carry the sun And if I see a sign in the sky tonight No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light May never come, but I'm willing to wait What can I say? I'm a man of the faith And there's an ocean in my body And there's a river in my soul And I'm crying And if I see a sign in the sky tonight (but I see it coming) No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light (I feel alone) May never come, but I'm willing to wait (but I see it coming) What can I say? I'm a man of the faith (I feel alone) And there's an ocean in my body (but I see it coming) And there's a river in my soul (I see it coming) And I'm crying

One of the best irish singer/songwriters about

This song is like a musical version of the serenity prayer with a power that matches it. What an amazing lyric, transcendent.

This is by far my new favourite song. It has such a meaning to me now. It makes me emotional and yet peaceful every time I listen to it. Thanks for your amazing contribution to the world! ❤️

Conor O'Brien is beyond talented. This song is a masterpiece. I listened to the first bar and was blown away immediately. Villagers are perfection live in concert if anyone hasn't seen them play yet.

I can't stop listening to this song over and over, gorgeous.

Beautiful and stunning, a privilege to have seen this performed live

perhaps i like this even better than the official version, just more intimate i suppose.

Villagers… please stay. Your are wonderful on my heart.

Beautiful voice and beautiful words.

love this version so much

Your are a beautiful artist singer. Love your voice, your melody, yours compositions… I hope great for your beautiful ways. Virginie, one fan (even if if in France… fan we don’t like. YOU, always on my heart for all your productions. Merci. It’s beautiful.

Can't believe I've never heard of this band until watching Smother and became obsessed so beautiful needs to be released for everyone that missed out xxx

Amazing. Absolutely amazing.

Such beauty & solace to be found in this song

Wow!

Why is it so beautiful

WOW!

I once sang this on my english practical exam. Remember I had to borrow a keyboard from my teacher to play this masterpiece❤❤❤

I'm getting back into piano and learning this song as it's beautiful in so many ways. His voice is intense though(!) it's like he's naked right next to you, his voice is so vulnerable and intimate 😅 I don't know how else to describe the evocation 🙃 and here I am rewinding it again and again trying to listen to the piano lol 😅

Beauty, depth and what it means to transcend the human form.

Brilliant 🇮🇪

Prekrasna pisen. Dik 😊❤

Thought I had a tear in my eye...turns out, it was a trick of the light...

And i’m crying..

If anyone can make sheet music to this I would be eternally grateful

Very cool Sir, going to strive to perform like this one day, just have to learn to play piano..lol

Does anyone know what mic he uses? Blissful performance...as always.

who gives you permission to be this gorgeous?

I need this played at my funeral.

His voice sounds a bit like Mick Hucknall's. Great Voice!

Stunning, jealous

Beautiful, what are the chords?

i played this at my brothers ,,,, i cant even say it

This way it seems to be such a different song but... it's the same song! It gives to the song Tom Odell's vibes!

How can I find the musical notes of this?

Smother brought me here

For some reason he sounds a bit like Paul Simon, or at least sings in a similar way.

Walker Independence!

Smother anyone

Love it! Also, first comment :D

Smother

I can't put my finger on it but this tune sounds very similar to a classic funk/rnb song, can anyone help me out?

luffly

Florian Lunaire

This version is good, but he looks better in a wig and make up.
