Utterly beautiful, incredible music ❤️. BSP continue to be my best musical discovery of recent years. Wonderful original band. Simply joyous.
Saw BSP for the first time in Portsmouth April 2013. I had the first three albums but they only made complete sense to me having seen them live. Now they are played all the time in my car, and I have bought 'From the Sea to the Land Beyond' dvd which is stunning. Their constant re-jigging of the setlist night after night reminds me of James (a live favourite of 27 years).
Just for your information, this song is called "No Man Is An Archipelago" and is from the album "Man of Aran". Beautiful song, cheers!
what a wonderful mixture of both song and video. that pounding drum at the end gets me every time. great job lads.
The sea is getting very angry up there...Very beautiful images and people.
It was a very tough existence on the Isles in those days. fantastic soundtrack by BSP to accompany this film.
there must be something wrong with me beacause I really want to be in that boat.
Peoples of these islands have so much in common. I am intrigued by the name of the band but listening to their music reveals such great beauty.
The Aran Islands are off Ireland’s west coast so can’t understand why they are used to promote
British sea power.
@UCGINuN6fcUTSZNKcoUEifSQ It's the name of the band.
Absolutely stunning, came late to to this band but making up for it now. From the sea to the land beyond is truly amazing 😍😍
A really great band, nice accompany to a very hostile environment, the Aran Islands get some of the worst weather in Northern Europe, the men who put their lives at risk for the daily catch is truly remarkable, great little film.
Go raibth Erin
if there were more bands like british sea power the world would be a happier place
happy to be playing with these guys soon - met em once and they're a lovely bunch x
"British Sea Power" is the name of the artist. They make beautiful and inclusive music - you might even be able to learn something from them. Till then, find a video about Bloody Sunday and go spout your hate there. We just want to listen to music.
came here randomly.
thankfully is a good song. love it.
A beautiful piece of music
@LeoMMXI well said. I'm Scots born and bred but no shortbread republic for me. I;m for unity. There's strength. Favourite folk song? Bonny Bunch of Roses....check out the words.Still valid for today. best regards. p.s this is a great tune,
The Aran Islands off the West Coast of Ireland and nothing to do with Britishness.The movie Man Of Aran made in the 1930’s on these islands.
some ppl can just make magic! this makes me have happy days!!!
I've just returned from the Aran Islands an hour ago, the song 'Boy Vertiginous' I was trying to recreate the Basking Shark scene with the rope, no Basking Sharks, but what a place...stunning, as I said on my earlier posts that this is a place to see before you check out of life, and to all the rants I've been reading, go to the Aran Islands and just feel the beauty, Eamon man you're comments are insignifgant compared to the Aran Islands and I was born in Liverpool
You beautiful People... we love you. And respect you so much.
This represents to me the fight of human life for survival and happiness. They look so happy with less......now these days we live with so much by in decadence.
What a powerful piece
The past year, I listened only this. THAT'S MUSIC.
seen these guys perform this track supporting the manics in liverpool uni friday fair play im very impressed with BSP
Dark and yet beautiful! 3:46
what a song - absolutely awesome
saw them preform this live last year with the film on a big screen in the background athe jersey film festival, they were superb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
saw this on BBC 4 a while back and was totally encapsulated by the music I had to learn more..
Stunning, can't wait to see the full film/soundtrack!
I think that would be Irish sea power.
great film.
Of course the Aran Islands are off the west coast of Ireland and seems the great people and sailors of the Islands
are falsely portrayed as British.
I love Great Skua! Long live British Sea Power!
That footage is from west of Ireland that's Irish sea power nothing to do with England Gaeilge do ghaeltáin ghalánta riamh
@@W-E-A-P bro... I was kinda referring to the band- British Sea Power
The video is a very strong metaphor of the life itself...
AWESOME!
I've never been able to get into BSP's music, but they are a band that I've always respected for coming up with original ideas and concepts. This is a pretty cool video though, and very pretty music. Bravo.
Friendly question: Your comment was 14 years ago...did you ever manage to get into them?
After seeing them last night in Blackburn I finally get it..... Ruddy awesome stuff.
the comments seem to dismiss the visual stuff going on in the film, without a soundtrack. the true grit of the people shines through, and always respecting nature.
The true grit and bravery of the Irish men and women on the Aran Islands.
The Aran Islands are Irish of course, just of the coasts of Clare and Galway, the Irish film 'man of aran' was made by the Irish man Robert Flaherty in 1934, - just to mention that as it seems here the title 'British sea power' and then showing the Aran Islands without any reference to it Ireland seems to try mislead people that this is a British film made in Britain.
A classic great film. original sondtrack didn't catch the spirit. Nice!
Yeah, great skua?
Because I had that song already and when I picked this cd up I was confused.
Great though, I used it for a video on my page.
Love the music so awesome:))
love it!!
If you want to see hate come to Northern Ireland as we have it all here. It's a live museum exhibit, right in front of your eyes. We do have an education system but it only works for those who can escape or are capable of rational thought. We also have politicians, but they're the ones who failed. Please turn your watch back 50 years on entering. Oh, by the way, I think the music's great - and I hate fascists.
Real music
❤
These guys remind me of Savage Republic with that grand sound.
Still coming back to this 🌈
@LeoMMXI Thanks chief. From Japan, a nation who builds and builds more cool ships. They are an island and they follow just ONE example:BSP.
Jesus Christ just enjoy this wonderful song and go and watch the film
Wow.
@eamon22 "What passport says BRITAIN on it ???" Mine says The united kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Your move.
You don`t have to be a twisted, small-minded nationalist to be fond of your country`s navy. It is inevitable that history and war come up in these conversations - the band is called British Sea Power, which doesn`t lead people to talk about rabbits or daisies. And they wrote that wonderful song "Remember Me", a tribute to all good men who have perished in conflict. It`s above party politics and wrangling. Let`s give BSP and the sailors from across the globe a big pat on the back.
@Oceans85 Well said!!
I can not accept the fact that humans are the robot who is given, however, if I was manipulated, I think in the mind of their(my copies) own, and live freely choose all by itself. However, this has to anticipate all priests, in fact, continue to raise them as cattle in the management of the production process.
@eamon22 Don't generalise Eamon, I'm from Manchester with plenty of family from Ireland and I'm not scum
There were no women in the Royal Navy. We are talking about the British Navy - specifically. These sailors didn`t die to preserve "Little Englander politics". On the contrary. They fought on the seas and oceans for democracy and decency, not twisted old nationalism: something the Germans, Italians, and Japanese were into, though. The fruits of their enormous sacrifies are plain in modern Britain - an open, very open, democracy. Visit Pompey and Liverpool and Plymouth, the moving tributes to BSP.
The story of my life...
If there's one thing BSP are NOT about, it's Little Englander politics like this, which has nothing to do with the music whatsoever.
Incidentally, "Englishmen" were not the only ones who fought to defeat Nazism -- so did Scots, Welsh, American, Indian and also French, German and Spanish (resistance) men AND women.
top band - top music - nothing to do with politics -
isnt this song "the great skua"?
BSP perform the full movie with LIVE soundtrack OCT 3rd 2010. In Manchester

@Yamaka1985
Do you mean Mogwai?
I swear this is The Great Skua
Stirkes me there's a lot of growing up required below. Just forget nationalism - of any sort - and realise that war is a very, very, silly thing indeed.
Quite.
@ Chexycat we are certainly good at 'Stealing'. I don't actually think that there is a 'Catalytic' converter in my 'Winniebago'. We certainly are interesting 'characters' and sure there are lots of people living 'illegally' here too. Is British 'propery' different to Property?? I wasn't sure.
If you're going to slag people, LEARN TO FUCKING SPELL YOU COMPLETE SPA!
Great tune, lovely video and wonderful band. ;)
Don't forget to wave!

Because the Isle of Aran is spelled with one "r." You're thinking of a different place. It's about the one in Ireland.
- Hell even the swedes where once rampaging vikings that murdered and pillaged half of northen europe...
@wakokid2 500 yrs pal, and if u ever lived in an oppressed state u know wat im talkin about, i dont like to be negative
that's about as eloquent and articulate as I'd expect you to be. Truth hurts eh?

@MrMurphyisacat See your point. But we`re not rabid nationalists. The Germans, Japanese, and Italians were, though. BSP stood firm, and alone, in the Med, with enormous sacrifices. Malta wanted to remain free, and the men of BSP made it happen. Greek independence from fascist rule, where civilians were hanged from streetlamps. Enabled by BSP. Food to starving Britain, supplies to Russia across the wastes. D-Day landings, and victory in the desert. The senior service. Worthy BSP.
@dandylion911 why?
No hate, just a few facts, of course if you want to just listen you are as free to do so as I am to comment.
Actually colonialism does come into it i think you will find singapore was nothing but a collection of fishing villages before the britsh spent resources developing it, just look at it everything you see today the roadnetwork, the port itself, the education system all was built upon the british system, without this developement there would be no singapore today. my point was that EVERY nation in history has a dark past but that doesnt discount the positives they brought with them as redundent.
Singapore is what it is because of it's strategic position as a trading port, colonisation doesn't come into it. The other comparable Empire's were French, Spanish and Portoguese. The Indians were first butchered by the spanish and British. In any case pointing at other wrongs doesn't change anything about what the British did, it's not a competition. It just annoys me to hear "if it wasn't for us you'd be speaking German", it doesn't ever occur to anyone that English is not my native tongue!
completely original band bsp
Wait this is no man is an archipelago.... Not man of Aran?????
(continued) Mankind is divided into two parts so completely. As in heaven and on earth, each proceed to start the direction of evolution, which are divided into two parts. To be closer to God as much as possible, and the other near the mechanical creature indefinitely. Is the human race in 2039. And "Humanity" continues this state away.
Sounds like Mogwai
That footage is from west of Ireland Aran islands , That's Irish sea power not British Éire go deo
The best sailors in the British navy were all Irishmen.
@@brianboru7684 back in the day at least a third of the Royal Navy was Irish. That's definitely quite a large contribution. Especially considering Irelands population was a lot smaller.
@@Dom-fx4kt There's no evidence for that claim. A third of the Royal Navy present at The Battle of Trafalgar was known to be Irish, I believe this is where the misconception comes from.
It is besides the point. British Sea Power is not a jingoistic name with reference to Britain, the UK or any of the countries within, in any literal sense. Very limitied, literal minded idiots see shite where it isn't because: wankers. Wankers who think they are profound in such obvious abd banal observations as this. This is a band that is now known as Sea Power because fuckwits like you draw arbitrary lines in the sand and think this is a Rule Britannia bit. Fuckin morons. Just appreciate the beauty of the music, the archaic footage and to try to see the humanistic struggle.
Storyville brought me here.
Me too.
First off, I live in Italy but I'm Irish so I feel entitled to point out certain atrocities. Pointing out other wrongs is a weak defence. Secondly, the topic of the video is "British sea Power". As for Ethiopians I don't think it's anyway relevent, in fact if you knew your history you'd know that it was only with the Italian invasion that slavery was abolished in Ethiopia, if it had been the British you'd probably use it as an example of how they "liberated" the ethiopians from their dictator!
Democracy is always worth fighting for.The free market?The current brand of capitalism has divided this land economically, socially and geographically; it has created a disparity of wealth not witnessed since the 1920s (the 4th largest); it has disenfranchised the young; ironically (given the topic), it has swept away all the industry that gave us this wealth and the communities that relied upon it, including fishing, shipbuilding, the docks and the merchant navy.Worth fighting (and dying) for?
Well the other great empire of the time was Russia, if its a straight up choice between the lesser of two evils i would most definatly have chosen the British, lets remember the Americans were not much better either considering there genocide of the native americans and not forgetting there treatment of the filipinos. As for colonialism i would never endorse it as being completely postive thats far from the truth (it was downright exploitation) but it did have its benifits ( look at singapore).
Again why do you seem to focus on only the British? i see your italian im sure Italian history is nothing to be proud of either many ethiopians will agree with that...
you'll pardon me if I don't applaud the navy for helping end something they were a part of for so many years, you'll agree that slavery would have been rather limitedd as trades go if it wasn't for colonisation in the first place (they weren't the only ones but they were front runners!). There's also the fact that while they passed the slavery abolition bill they were actively starving and exiling Irish by the millions (pop. in 1845-8mil/1847 - 1mil), hardly to be applauded
what's all the anger about? i can't understand it. i'm english and have irish ancestory, but this music is not about division (as far as i can see it) why the fuck are we bringing politics into it?
if you look at medical breakthroughs, despite the wealth of the British empire, they were by no means the front runners when it came to breakthroughs, falling behind the americans, europeans and asians. I have a hard time crediting them with development when there are so many countries that managed to develop themselves without British intervention and an equal amount who's development was stunted because of colonialism. It's arrogant to think that left to themselves countries would not progress
Good music yes. Deebemc & Modern hi - trans - afraid you need new glasses mate.
Singapore is on a major trade route, if it wasn't for the British any number of nations would have built on it. They got more out than they put in, don't kid yourself. What are you implying, that all nations conquered by the british would never have evolved without them? Come on. What about the rampaging Vikings? Is there a point? EVERY nation? I don't agree and neither does history.

Funny when you look at the fashionably-named "witnnielandi's" page. Pink Floyd in Pompeii. All possible through the Royal Navy. A navy ranged against the combined, and centralized, power of Italy and Germany. A navy that defeated them both in the Med, with enormous losses, and allowed British and US troops to liberate Italy. Can you imagine Mussolini welcoming Pink Floyd? Your ignorance makes you look foolish.
To the 1000s of British sailors "Who have no known grave but the sea".
@eamon22 I think you need to find somewhere else to vent your offensive and ignorant GENERALISATIONS. Obviously in your desperation to seek national identity, you have forgotten that insulting people on a MUSIC FORUM (no I personally did not put a 'British' tag on anything and therefore are not scum) is both immature and pointless. When you are old enough (presumably in some years) I advise you to take your opinions to a more appropriate platform... where they will be denounced as racist and
this is a band not a point a bout navel powers please get a life and not confuse any point with this name for all the love that is human. keep the war out of it
What powerful footage - what bland, all-purpose music.
What has British sea power got to do with the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland.
Its false representation and I know the Aran Islanders would strongly object to being classified as British.
It is the name of the band who made the music. You ignorant, looking for controversy, Twat, with a deserved capital T.
@richyboy77
.boring isnt it?
All you want to do is listen to soe ebeautiful music written for a beautiful film about a beautiful part of the World and you have to get some out-dated nationalist weirdo squeeling about the name of the band providing the music...
Im surprised the likes of him have got to grips with technology like youtube seeing as they found concepts such as the 20th century so difficult to deal with
