I have been obsessed with the original for many years now. I play it regularly, as well as many other Mike Os songs. I'm nearly 70 and disabled and very ill, but still get so much joy from listening to music. This song touched my soul on the first play, it will not be the last, shedding a few tears means I'm still alive.
@matthiaskluth2645 Thank you so much for your kind words, I have played this song at least once everyday, sometimes more. I love Mike Oldfield's music and have traveled throughout Europe and the UK to see him live. Barry Palmer sang the original song, but this version has something else. I likewise hope you can listen to this song for many years to come 👍❤️👍
This is a beautiful and so,so sad song that Mike Oldfield has dedicated to his mother,God bless her soul,thank her for giving us such an angelic author,her son,Mike. This song version,after decades and decades,still brings some new tunes and different singing that makes everyone shiver. True emotions get old as gold does!
This was a brilliant and unexpected version of one of my favourite Oldfield songs. I always wished that Barry would have done more collaborations with Mike. This was a real gift for the fans. Thanks! Now........ Don't forget to do a hardcore brutal rock version of Poison Arrows!
This kind of Crime Of Passion song is really great. So soulful. Thank you Barry and Robert.❤👍👍👍 Barry Palmer is absolutely the best singer that has ever sung with Mike Oldfield! Not only Barry's very good voice, but vocally he fitted so well to the sound, harmony and musical style of Mike Oldfield. Just perfect.
First, the whole production is exemplary, a delight to hear. And Barry, your performance was astonishing... delivery, range, strength, tone, pitch... Even being middle-aged, you've still got it!
This is a favourite that I had completely forgotten about since it was first released. I recently heard the phrase "second-sight" and it slowly came back to me over a few days of nagging at my memory. I have enjoyed it again all these years later. This is an excellent rendition of the song! Very well done!
I love this song, it's always been one of my favourite Mike Oldfield songs, Barry's voice was perfect for the original recording - it sort of paved the way for songs like "Moonlight Shadow". Love this 'mature' version. Beautiful arrangement.
Love it! This is a more mellow and reflective version that actually suits the song very well. This song always has had a special place in my heart for personal reasons.
At 67 years old , I still love this "fantastic" track, even bought the 45 single!when still a teenager this is music at it,s peak of performance still gives me a "thrill" every time I play it , masterpeice is not the word !! congratulations on your "retirement" mike, I beat you by two years!!!
Addendum to the original message now at 69 years oldtwo years on, this still holds so much "magic" for me this ones a "classic " in it,s own right ! I have memories that trigger me into total past experience , bless you Mike, 💗🎉🎉🎉......
Yeah! That's really Great! Rock it, Barry! I love that song in that key too and in a slower version. Even if Barry wasn't initially fond of that song, 40 years later He still proves what a great tune it is.
I can see half a lifetime, of the artist transcending both time and fashion. In a throwaway World we've been given a sign, aiding and adding in a silent passion
The first time I heard this version was 2 days ago, I can't stop singing it now, and watching the amazing heart touching video Barry and Rob have made, thank you both for making lots of fans very happy ❤
My dear friend Jelena passed away 8/31/2009 let God rest her soul....i totally feel you and i know this world is too cruel for innocent people...i only can say to you that she keeps eyes on you and keep you alive like a guardian angel 🙏🏻🙏🏻😭😭 0:24
One of my favorites those days ! I remember how I was moved by Barry’s voice ! Now after all those years arranged bit different as also the song came into its years , beautiful !
Hand on heart, I hate saying it, I never much liked this track. But... you have redeemed it. It needed to be played more subtly and you've got the mood and phrasing right here. It was always too close to Moonlight Shadow to have a life of it's own; you've given it one. Well done.

...me the same! I am from Germany, 51 years old. I wish you, that u can listen to this in the next 30 years to come! Greetings, Matthias

... I've heard that is a song dedicated to an Oldfield cousin that commited suicide at the age of 19 . She was called Elisabeth Jane.
Beautiful version of this Oldfield classic

Tienes toda la razón pero preferiría una versión de To france o prisión arrows
This kind of Crime Of Passion song is really great. So soulful. Thank you Barry and Robert.❤👍👍👍
Barry Palmer is absolutely the best singer that has ever sung with Mike Oldfield! Not only Barry's very good voice, but vocally he fitted so well to the sound, harmony and musical style of Mike Oldfield. Just perfect.
The best male singer, there's no doubt about that.
@@paullavan3097 Thanks
Well I agree but, Roger Chapman and Jon Anderson are really good as well! And I remember Adrian Belew in the song Holy from de Earth moving record.
@@josearqco That's correct. Thanks😊👍
First, the whole production is exemplary, a delight to hear. And Barry, your performance was astonishing... delivery, range, strength, tone, pitch... Even being middle-aged, you've still got it!
This version is much more connected to the lyrics. Amazing ❤
VERY VERY VERY DEEEEP EMOTIONAL VERSION of that ICONIC Song........I think MIKE OLDFIELD AGREES WITH THAT TURN......THANKS GENTLEMAN!!!!
My God. Thank you Barry.
Loved this track as a seven year old. Today, 40 years later, I'm still there. This version really captures the song's emotion. Thank you guys! ❤
Unvergessen Barry Palmer .Eine wunderschöne Version ,diese Stimme von Barry Palmer
This it's a love letter to the original song 🎵 ❤️ ♥️
En France aussi on aime Mike Oldfield depuis plus de 40 ans ! egalement ses interpretes feminins ou masculins ! quel genie ❤
I love the originals, but this bloody made me cry. Beautiful voice. Never would have guessed the song could be made to work this way. Slower, deeper.
Brilliant and touching...wow!!
Would like to know if Mike thinks the same...I miss him so much
Barrys Stimme hat nix an Faszination verloren und Robs Verständnis, wie der Song funktioniert ist unglaublich 😂❤
That was a great updated version of a Mike Oldfield classic, well done Robert and Barry.
Mike Oldfield writing one of the most beautiful songs ever written 😘
Nur ein Wort " wunderschön"
MR. Barry Palmer is a great vocalist I grew up listening to his songs.A big big respect for a great artist
This is a favourite that I had completely forgotten about since it was first released. I recently heard the phrase "second-sight" and it slowly came back to me over a few days of nagging at my memory. I have enjoyed it again all these years later.
This is an excellent rendition of the song! Very well done!
What a brilliant version 👏🏻
Toujours la même magie dans la voix. Toujours la même émotion dans la musique. Toujours le même bonheur à l'écoute.
Et oui un morceau incroyable qu'on écoute en boucle encore aujourd'hui.
Il figure sur l'album remasterisé de Crises
barry palmer,roland orzabal,brian ferry;etc...malgré le temps qui passe tous ces chanteurs nous font vibrer avec leur voix caractéristiques
What a gorgeous take on a well-loved classic. Very moving! 👏👏👏
I love this song, it's always been one of my favourite Mike Oldfield songs, Barry's voice was perfect for the original recording - it sort of paved the way for songs like "Moonlight Shadow". Love this 'mature' version. Beautiful arrangement.
La voix de Barry Palmer est tellement sensuelle même avec le temps qui passe ,j adore !❤
Thank you very much Barry and Rob. Big man in tears here. Thank you MGO 💚💚💚
he sings out of my soul, great job Mr. Palmer
A forgotten song! In the 90s the song, originally by Mike Oldfield, was often played on the german radio. a dream song 🥰
Bonsoir je vous remercie très belle interprétation que de souvenirs petit coucou de la France ❤
What a beautiful surprise !
Wunderschön !🤩👍❤️
Love it! This is a more mellow and reflective version that actually suits the song very well. This song always has had a special place in my heart for personal reasons.
me too my friend , say no more!
What sensational and fantastic version !!! One of my favorite of Mike Oldfield ...true emotion....
Ever again a wunderful feeling hearing the song and especially this special version! Thank you Barry and Rob for the great work!
Han hecho falta 40 años para madurar una gran versión de esta gran canción. Gracias!
Una gran versión, de una gran canción, de grandes artistas. Grande!!!!!!!!!
Tout simplement magnifique. Que d émotion. Merci Barry pour cette interprétation
Not easy to make it better than the original...you guys made it...amazing and touching
Totally agree. The original is pop and catchy. This is profound and gives more meaning to the lyrics. Wonderful.
❤Que hermosa versión, el señor Barry Palmer canta con menos voz pero más dulce y suave, felicidades.

It's so great, ❤ Barry and Rob!!!
Bellissima canzone. Questa versione la trovo ancora più bella della prima versione del 1984
I would be curious if you both would arrange „tricks of the light „ into today !
I can see half a lifetime, of the artist transcending both time and fashion. In a throwaway World we've been given a sign, aiding and adding in a silent passion
wonderful version of one of the best song (if not the best..) of mister Oldfield.
The first time I heard this version was 2 days ago, I can't stop singing it now, and watching the amazing heart touching video Barry and Rob have made, thank you both for making lots of fans very happy ❤
The sound and production is incredible, sounds so professional
Lovely version. Great to hear that Barry's voice is still there. If somebody had told me this was a reworking by Mike I wouldn't have doubted it.
Yea, that’s a really nice version
Lo que no quiso expresar mike, lo has dado con todo el corazòn. Emocionante.
È chiaro che questa canzone senza Barry Palmer non sarebbe la stessa,uno dei 100 migliori brani di sempre❤
oh, great Robert, we are so longingly waiting for a concert from you in Germany
Impresionante cuanto más la oigo más me gusta .Barry perfecto . La guitarra perfecta todo es una maravilla
Excellent Barry ! A very nice version of a top top song
Wow! Fantastic cover of a classic track, actually this is the best I've heard!
My friend Annie died unexpectedly on 5/28/23. I think I have to dedicate this to her. 🥲
Mis respetos desde España para Annie . Dios la cuide y yo la saludare aunque no la conociera cada vez que escuche esta canción . Va Por Annie
Причём тут твоя Энни ?? Барри Палмер разрешил тебе свою песню посвящать?? Не пей больше , алкоголь зло !
@@Mkrtchan777 a little harsh, be nice. You tube is free to comment.
Amazing version 😍 thank you a lot!
My dear friend Jelena passed away 8/31/2009 let God rest her soul....i totally feel you and i know this world is too cruel for innocent people...i only can say to you that she keeps eyes on you and keep you alive like a guardian angel 🙏🏻🙏🏻😭😭 0:24
This is absolutely wonderful. A fabulous version of the song. Well done and thank you for sharing 👌❤️🎶
Perfect! Love this version
Wow, just shows how good the writing of the song by Mr. O and the delivery by Barry Palmer
Wow. What an amazing interpretation.
Masterpiece 🎼
Just Wow...Beautiful rendition of a wonderful song...just wish Mike was there.
The original is just brilliant ….. this is different and superb
Thank you
A very nice version, and as many says: a tribute to the original, with elements from classic instrumental Oldfield. Love it!
One of my absolute favourite songs! I would not have expected to find such a recent version of it! Interesting adaption, very dynamic and moving.
A really lovely version which actually enhances the original. I would say it lights up the best of the song and leaves out the unnecessary trimmings.
Grande, siempre, Barry Palmer
Simply the best version...but I like the original song..🙋
Holy shit. One of my favourite pieces in that beautiful version. GODDAMN SHIVERS. I love you Barry
That was really lovely. Brings back so many happy memories. Interesting hearing it in another key.
Beautiful song❤
Hatıralar, gözyaşları geri gelmeyecek güzel günler...
A grossly under rated singer performing a similarly considered song, brilliantly. Loved the Oldfield mix and this is as good.
thanks for another great piece Rob, and Barry I´ll never forget: "They didn't know the words, but they knew how to sing...!"
One of my favorites those days ! I remember how I was moved by Barry’s voice ! Now after all those years arranged bit different as also the song came into its years , beautiful !
simply wonderful
Wow... just wow
veryy good Robert REED
Just perfect ❤
Lovely interpretation of this song. Class.
Fantastic ❤ bravissimi
Grandissimi
Really amazing. You should do a Oldfield Cover album. Robert must have some Oldfield genes... 😂
probably "levis" 34 waist!!😂🤣😂🤣... great music, keep it up!!!👌
What an outstanding version ! Thank you Barry !
Just one word…. Beautiful!!
Fabuloso Robert Reed
Beautiful sound. Thanks for sharing..M81.
Amazing!
It makes me very nostalgic
wonderfull
thanks for posting
Barry palmer es poseedor de una voz excelente, y la canción es de una belleza sobrecogedora. Un gran tema.
Master piece my dear Barry.
Well done mr palmer, i will have to review all your wonderfull works
,salute
Hand on heart, I hate saying it, I never much liked this track. But... you have redeemed it. It needed to be played more subtly and you've got the mood and phrasing right here. It was always too close to Moonlight Shadow to have a life of it's own; you've given it one. Well done.
hermosa versión !!! sin duda !!! .....
Absolutely fantastic!
Beautiful! Great arrangement! Barry - you sound better than ever!
