I think this is my favourite version of this incredibly sad/thoughtful/soulful track. The way the band moves to the violin melodies, as if improvised, the timing slower, just letting those 2 intertwining voices speak to each other....
I hope all their music is listened to hundreds of years from now, with the same amount of appreciation that Classical music enjoys today. They are beautiful. One of my all time favourite bands.
Like someone else said....best song and video on youtube. I like all sorts of shit i really do....this is the best. Instills sorrow at his loss and the millions who have never had the pleasure to have heard his music....but I know I share a magic in my heart with all those who have. Music that speaks.
This and White Mischief are my two favorite PCO pieces. Saw them live in Los Angeles in 1988 and I remember it as if it was yesterday. Only time I have ever had tears of joy through an entire concert. Wonderful.
I loved this music at 17, bought my first Penguin Cafe Orchestra album in '81. Truly amazing, minimalist music, Every single composition ~ magic and spectacular. Cheers to SJ ~
Thanks for sharing - I heard a track today on Radio 3 by the PCO (didn't catch the title alas) and the traffic,sky and birds all synchronised to the music.
The studio version of this track appears at "Penguin Cafe Orchestra" (as it is) CD, edited by Virgin Records in 1981. Besides this theme, other tracks included are "Air A Danser", "Yodel 1", "Pythagoras' Trousers" and "Paul's Dance". It's a must. If you find it, you'll enjoy it a lot. :D
I recorded that programme,and this piece is part of that programme.I still have it on video.lt was a programme about somebody's trip accross America,if I'm not mistaken.Thanking you,Mick.
@@michaelgaskell7408 ah, now that was another programme again! The chap who went to America in the late 60s, bought a Super8 camera, and ended up being there 12 years, taking footage the whole time! A chap from Cheltenham, Dave Pick, was involved with setting the selected footage with music, and yes, a lot of PCO was used (including Perpetuum Mobile to great effect). Can't remember what they called the resulting programme, but was on Channel 4, and, again, 1989 or so. I really loved watching it :-) (I worked briefly with Dave Pick on some recording in 1992, he headed up FFG records releasing hip Christian music at the time. I happened to start playing Perpetuum Mobile on a piano, and we had a conversation about the programme!)
@Michael Gaskell - Found it! Road Dreams. Turns out it was 1990 it aired, but was still while I was in Upper Sixth.. Here's episode 1 - th-cam.com/video/IOkcnVrdPbw/w-d-xo.html

I enjoyed it very much, and have since seen more episodes,'just as good as when I first viewed the programme in 1990',l think it was.Thank you very much for taking the trouble,it was much appreciated.Yours Sincerely,Mick.
@@michaelgaskell7408 thank you for your reply. This is exactly what the internet was designed for - the sharing of knowledge :-) Rewatching it has been a delight for me too, especially you prompting me to rediscover the name of the programme after three decades!
Hmmm. Someone with a grudge decided to take umbrage at me calling this video breathtaking. Well for me it was and still is breathtaking. give me all the thumbs down you want.
I gotta have this on CD to listen whenever I want... Can someone tell me how & where to locate it? If possible, I would like to have 'this' exact version. Thank You!!

Hosh Y Less a ban, more a chamber orchestra.
Reminds me of my cross country train trip--three straight days of this train music--what a way to go!
PCO is one of the great musical groups of the 20th Century. Its music that defies category except the category of sheer timeless beauty.
Beautifully put ! They changed my life - about 30 years ago and I will always love them.
Bought the 1981 album, the year it was released. Never looked back ~ what inspiration music. Love minimalist music ~
4:36 - 5:00 is one of the most satisfying things i have ever heard -- not sure how else to describe it

It IS breathtaking!! Reminds me of a special little soul that I will never forget or stop missing... This is HER song!!
Oh, my Sweet Sunny Hen!! 😞💔
Lucky enough to see them in Birmingham some years ago-great performance.
We stumbled across this on the TV one evening. It was wonderful and and led us into a love of the PCO.
Thank you Simon (+) and Helen and all.
Extraordinary and beautiful . ..... masters all, in an amazing arrangement. Timeless indeed.
Muy buen video para una de las obras maestras de Simón Jeffes y los suyos,tuve la suerte de verlos en directo,inolvidable.Gracias por compartir!
Thinking of my Sweet Sunny Hen!!! RIP beautiful girl, I will see you again!

Very interesting.
I believe this was actually from a performance broadcast in 1989 on BBC2, rather than the earlier 1984 WT show

some of the volin phrases seem to come up on nick drakes fly the bryter later version aa briliant video and musical piece
Love this stuff. Still mourn the death of Simon.
Good God that major/minor 7 dissonance
0:01 and 6:48 what instrument was that long note played on into the microphone?
It looks and sounds like a "tuning pipe" which choir leaders are using
Pitch pipes. Like simplified harmonica w just 6 notes, one for each guitar string. Popular back in the day, before invention of the Electronic Tuna!
@tialeetull you should get a keyboard with a ½ on it

Too many violins, no Che low.
Sheer rudeness, and utter nonsense ~ that's the summary of your useless comment....... Move on, say something positive, or fuck off!
Isn't Che low the person on percussion?
Isn't Che low the person playing percussion, Dude? How much is too many anyway? One?
