I know Mariusz is often praised for his bass playing, and it is absolutely well deserved, but it is his signing voice that captivates me. He has one of the gentlest calming voices that is so pleasant to listen to him sing.
Riverside literally save my life! I was feeling pointless and sad at that moment! And now, since i know that band (and especially Mariusz) i drink every little moment in life!! I'm from Canada I saw them in concert recently, and he said; tonight is a really special evening at the same time that his gaze crossed mine (probably a pure coincidence) but it is these little coincidences that make the world beat! I am a new grandfather now and yes... IT'S A LOVELY LIFE!!! 🥲
I shed tears for a man I only ever met through his music. Thank you Piotr, You touched many lives beyond your own too brief one. Strength and love to Riverside and their families. We're all with you tonight...
This is the song that I put in every moment in my life where I just feel extremely happy. I've listen it when I go on a bus to a concert, or when I'm flying upon the beauty the pacific, or when i'm in a beautiful beach, or in a river. Or when i just feel good with myself and I feel just happy just for existing. It's my moment of piece, and i'm greatful with Riverside for have created such a wonderful piece.
Came here after hearing the sad news about Piotr to listen to this song, particularly 2:12 for the beautiful solo. RIP Piotr, your legacy will forever live on in prog
One of the few songs that compels me to stop what I am doing and just sit and listen. While it is playing, I find peace and serenity. When it is over, I find myself wiping tears. My music library spans 6-decades of Progressive and Art Rock...Riverside is the Crown Jewel of it all.
I just woke up to the terrible news. I still am in disbelief and can't process this properly. RIP Piotr G. You were one of my favourite guitarists of your generation in one of my favourite bands. Every time new Riverside material was announced I was most excited to hear your sumptuous tones, dynamic musicianship and emotional lead playing, and was looking forward to many more years of great music with your involvement. Wherever you are, you will be sorely missed., but you will live on through your music. RIP.
I grew up listening to Riverside, my parents played it all the time at home. When we found out we were all in shock especially since my parents had just seen them perform in Chicago a few months before. I will always miss Piotr but I'll always continue to listen to their songs. This is my favorite band and I'll never forget him.
My Brother and I met them in a small club in Philadelphia. We talked for a while after the sound check, then they went out for Dinner. Such a Great Night I will never forget...
This song is my morning alarm and always helps me face another day with a little bit of stoic beauty: "Gotta go with what you think is right" No matter what, no matter how your job is boring and draining, no matter how your relationship is difficult and complicated, still, it's a lovely life ❤️ Thank you! And I totally love the bas guitar on this song!
And now this video has become even more poignant with the loss of Piotr. The music lives on and I hope that Riverside have the heart to carry on. Condolences to his family, friends and brothers in the band. RIP Piotr.
As some has written so far, I have to remind you: All you see here are actual sights of places from across the Poland. No corrections (maybe just veeery slight colour management)*, because that's how this country looks like. Been there, seen it, and I'm so happy this video brought back some great memories... BEAUTIFUL POLAND! * - won't believe me maybe, but all the colours above the rye fields at 1:14 are real. :)
Awesome band! What a devastating news about the death of Mr. Piotr. The best wishes and my sincere condolences to the band and their families. Also I have to agree, their last album was just brilliant! This song is pure gold. Riverside FTW. Period.
Alan Simons Yeah, I remember them playing live. This was their last song after they encored with "The Curtain Falls". They're really quite majestic live.
Heard this song on the radio the other day, boy I'm dealing with some nasty anxieties atm,... I listened to A LOT of Anathema and Pink Floyd back in my better days, Riverside takes the best of both. thank you so much for reminding me how much music can help troubled mind
+scy1192 I'm from where they are from ;) Guess we like to promote local artists! And I heard it on the car radio, because I'm kind of homeless (haha this makes roommating a little complicated!).
+72Z15SS they are aired every now and then on 'Antyradio' and 'Polskie Radio Trojka' - both could be found in TuneIn Radio for Europe/Poland/Warszawa(Warsaw). Both programs have their better and worse shedule entries, but both stations tend to play more "ambitious" music. (however, Coldplay is possible on both. But no Bieber etc). Progressive rock fans catch Trójka's "Minimax" program on Sunday evenings CET. Besides music they have some very good interviews with top artists (interviews with English-speaking artists)
Gotta love Duda's Bass as much as his voice (as well as the rest of Riverside's instrumentation). It's not just art; it adds so much character to each of their songs that is unique. and it's a talent very few bassists possess or express in modern music.
Agree! I came for the band, stayed for the bass parts and excellent sense of harmony. Everything gels but after Fractured (Lunatic Soul) I can't help but notice the strong Duda influence in every single Riverside track.
This is one of my favorite albums of recent times. I deeply connect with this album both musically and conceptually, which is very rare for me right now. There's feelings of innocence, darkness, ambition and in this case, beauty. It's strongly felt throughout the album, and it gives me such a beautiful feeling :)
Great stuff, though it is somewhat reminiscent of Porcupine Tree... Mariusz has such a distinct voice though, plus this whole album has incredible production!
Riverside has in recent years blended late Opeth, Porcupine Tree and Pink Floyd with a character uniquely their own to make some of the most beautiful, if haunting, music of the last decade; perhaps too some of the most important looking at the subject matter explored and how it relates to the state of the world, technology and culture at present.
. The sound of this song is so beautiful that you can’t almost miss it. It bleeds you inside your mind, the bleeding of sheer happiness but within sadness. It’s just mesmerizing. I love it.
Such a pleasing and emotional solo in the middle. xcellent song. xcellent album. Piotr, you were one of the few finest guiterist I came across to listen to. Wherever you are, STAY IN PEACE SIR.
Love this song so much. Riverside has pushed me to start making music for real and also singing. Currently I'm doing a full cover of this song, hope to finish it soon.
Beautiful....Just discovered this band and instantly loved it....Didn't know I liked progressive rock so much until recently after discovering Steven wilson and Porcupine Tree..Finding more and more as I delve into it though.
This song is truly amazing the lyrics - the melody and the Lead Guitar solo - is mind blowing - everything about this song is beautiful - music for musics sake!!!!
I've seen this video millions of time and here I am, watching it again and scrutinizing it for 3 hours trying to understand all the symbolism in the videoclip. It's just and amazing, rich and ingenious video! Very well done. I think that's my favourite videoclip! I anyone feel like discussing the symbolisms in the videoclip, please tell me!
Cut off from the dream Where the sky meets water Beneath forgotten stars Feeling like a child I embrace what I came for And what I’ve overcome Oooh, it’s a lovely life You have gone so far Don’t give it up Oooh, it’s a lovely life You gotta go with What you think is right Delve into myself With my truth and devotion I start another flow Gliding up and down In my yearning for daylight I find you in my soul Oooh, it’s a lovely life Sun emerges from behind the clouds Oooh, it’s a lovely life You gotta go with What you think is right Cut off from the dream Where the sky meets water Beneath forgotten stars I feel like a child Found in waking life
+Ilias Iliou No problemo. Well if you're in a Riverside mood, then you might not enjoy those songs right away. But Leprous' new album is pretty good. Riverside's newest is a little underwhelming imo unfortunately. It has good moments obviously, but it feels too safe.
This song has got another meaning for me now. I really hope he found a better place and I really hope we all got to see him again in another life. Take care of our Piotrm please.
I know Mariusz is often praised for his bass playing, and it is absolutely well deserved, but it is his signing voice that captivates me. He has one of the gentlest calming voices that is so pleasant to listen to him sing.
I agree, his voice is phenomenal
100% agree! His bass is only my second favorite of his instruments.

I shed tears for a man I only ever met through his music.
Thank you Piotr, You touched many lives beyond your own too brief one.
Strength and love to Riverside and their families.
We're all with you tonight...
After all this time i still can not believe what happened. Life is not fair.
@@exxam1 No.
But it's still beautiful.
Sometimes.
It's just ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PIECES OF ART that my heart has been lucky to throb...
so true!
that was poetic
This is the song that I put in every moment in my life where I just feel extremely happy. I've listen it when I go on a bus to a concert, or when I'm flying upon the beauty the pacific, or when i'm in a beautiful beach, or in a river. Or when i just feel good with myself and I feel just happy just for existing. It's my moment of piece, and i'm greatful with Riverside for have created such a wonderful piece.
This song is my definition of cheerfulness and self realization. Lyrics are way too beautiful
Came here after hearing the sad news about Piotr to listen to this song, particularly 2:12 for the beautiful solo. RIP Piotr, your legacy will forever live on in prog
thank you
One of the few songs that compels me to stop what I am doing and just sit and listen. While it is playing, I find peace and serenity. When it is over, I find myself wiping tears.

The entirety of this album is utterly magnificent. It has a hypnotic and ethereal quality. Masterpiece.
Outstanding.This band is one of the best there is!
+progbc They are my Favorite and have been ever since I heard "In Two Minds" from 2004!
I just woke up to the terrible news. I still am in disbelief and can't process this properly. RIP Piotr G. You were one of my favourite guitarists of your generation in one of my favourite bands.

Can’t believe it’s been 8 years
Cała płyta porusza wszystkie zmysły:))
Great ending number for the album. That guitar solo makes me cry
I don't speak a word of Polish, but here goes... "Ten zespół jest niesamowity i cieszę się, że ich „znalazłem”." Did Google get it right?
Yes, Google did it right :-) Greetings from Poland, Brother !
I had the pleasure of seeing them perform this song live in Montreal...Mind blown!!
My Brother and I met them in a small club in Philadelphia. We talked for a while after the sound check, then they went out for Dinner. Such a Great Night I will never forget...
Same here :). It was a night to remember!
I saw these guys last night in Cleveland. One of the most top notch, talented performances I've ever seen. Just fantastic guys.
That guitar solo, the bass, the organ, the harmony of voices... just the perfect song. Heavenly
This song is my morning alarm and always helps me face another day with a little bit of stoic beauty: "Gotta go with what you think is right" No matter what, no matter how your job is boring and draining, no matter how your relationship is difficult and complicated, still, it's a lovely life ❤️ Thank you! And I totally love the bas guitar on this song!
how do u set your alarm to this? and what do you use ?
@@metalmike1976 You need to buy it as MP3 and download to your phone. This is how I did it anyway 🙂
A lot of memories is coming back to my mind when I listen to this music. It's a lovely life.
Things I forgot about for the last ten years but came back to exectly at the right moment in my life.
And now this video has become even more poignant with the loss of Piotr. The music lives on and I hope that Riverside have the heart to carry on. Condolences to his family, friends and brothers in the band. RIP Piotr.
Just beautiful,only discovered riverside last week and am just awestruck at the majesty of their music
As some has written so far, I have to remind you:
All you see here are actual sights of places from across the Poland. No corrections (maybe just veeery slight colour management)*, because that's how this country looks like. Been there, seen it, and I'm so happy this video brought back some great memories...
BEAUTIFUL POLAND!
* - won't believe me maybe, but all the colours above the rye fields at 1:14 are real. :)
my place...my country I will never emigrate whatever happens
Glad to hear it. Given the stormy history with the neighbors, I'm happy that it's been able to retain its splendor.
It’s a very Beautiful landscape!!😍
Awesome band! What a devastating news about the death of Mr. Piotr. The best wishes and my sincere condolences to the band and their families. Also I have to agree, their last album was just brilliant! This song is pure gold. Riverside FTW. Period.
Stunning video, wonderful album.
Best album I've heard in 2015, maybe ever. Words can't describe the excitement and joy I felt when I first heard it.
Love this album from beginning to end!
This might just be the album of the year.
+Aratharr mabye also of the years
+Aratharr I couldn't agree more. This has become my favorite album of theirs. I think they ended the concert on this song... sooo amazing.
Alan Simons Yeah, I remember them playing live. This was their last song after they encored with "The Curtain Falls". They're really quite majestic live.
More like album of the life
It’s a superb album. A prog rock masterpiece.
Heard this song on the radio the other day, boy I'm dealing with some nasty anxieties atm,... I listened to A LOT of Anathema and Pink Floyd back in my better days, Riverside takes the best of both. thank you so much for reminding me how much music can help troubled mind
I second this Mil. Music soothes the soul. Hang in there.
+Mil Nien where do you live where you get Riverside on the radio? Are you looking for a roommate?
+scy1192 I'm from where they are from ;) Guess we like to promote local artists! And I heard it on the car radio, because I'm kind of homeless (haha this makes roommating a little complicated!).
+Mil Nien What radio station do you listen to? The stations in my area don't have a clue! It's all mainstream B.S. you hear all the time.

Agree! I came for the band, stayed for the bass parts and excellent sense of harmony. Everything gels but after Fractured (Lunatic Soul) I can't help but notice the strong Duda influence in every single Riverside track.
I guess what I'm saying is - Riverside is certainly melodically steered by Duda.
This is one of my favorite albums of recent times. I deeply connect with this album both musically and conceptually, which is very rare for me right now. There's feelings of innocence, darkness, ambition and in this case, beauty. It's strongly felt throughout the album, and it gives me such a beautiful feeling :)
Thank you Coverkiller Nation for introducing me to this beautiful band.
Mieszkam w Poznaniu i mam taki zespół pod nosem i nic o nich wcześniej nie widziałem! Piękna muzyka......ciarki na plechac....
Amazing album, amazing song, amazing video!
Great stuff, though it is somewhat reminiscent of Porcupine Tree...
Mariusz has such a distinct voice though, plus this whole album has incredible production!

This is just too beautiful!
Superb music. Love these dreamy images of Poland.
R.I.P. Piotr.
Your music will live on.
Kochane Bieszczady... dzięki chłopaki !!
Nice song & some lovely sights from Poland :)
RIP Piotr... thanks for everything!
FOUND this band a few months ago, pure awesomeness.
OMG I didn't know there's a music video for this song. amazing. Rip Piotr...
Such a pleasing and emotional solo in the middle. xcellent song. xcellent album. Piotr, you were one of the few finest guiterist I came across to listen to. Wherever you are, STAY IN PEACE SIR.
Beautiful dreamy arrangements and vocals.
Wonderful. A fantastic album. After the first time listening I can put it between my favourite album ever....
Poezja.......
From Russia with love
Love this song so much. Riverside has pushed me to start making music for real and also singing. Currently I'm doing a full cover of this song, hope to finish it soon.
Just brilliant! so sad...R.I.P. Piotr!
Majstersztyk. Obraz + dźwięk... i ta wspaniała nieprzekombinowana solówka Grudzińskiego!
So beauty and inspirational, wow Riverside thanks for this spiritual melody!
Quando Mariusz Duda compos essa musica, DEUS estava presente.
Thank you Riverside for this touching and emotional journey...I hope we all find ourselves in waking life.
Beautiful song, beautiful video, how can someone dislike this ?
One of those "In Your Face" songs. Well written lyrically and musically.
Beauty of Poland.
🇵🇱❤
Beautiful....Just discovered this band and instantly loved it....Didn't know I liked progressive rock so much until recently after discovering Steven wilson and Porcupine Tree..Finding more and more as I delve into it though.
Lucky guy
My thoughts exactly!
Oh shit! this is so great. But too short.. no choice: I have to hit "replay" :)
można się rozpłynąć, słuchając takiej muzy
This song is truly amazing the lyrics - the melody and the Lead Guitar solo - is mind blowing - everything about this song is beautiful - music for musics sake!!!!
Heart breaking to hear this and know that Piotr is gone from our plane of existence. Makes me ache inside :(You will be greatly missed!
Hard to believe I am late to discovering this band. Great video and song.
Reminds me a lot of Learning to Fly by Pink FLoyd (with a Have a Cigar breakdown at 3:06 ;) ). One of best tracks from RIverside.
RIVERSIDE, thanks for your work
Gosh there are so many Marillion moments in there if you listen closely... beautiful!
This is like a poem, an odd to love and life. Such a beautiful video!!
Ten utwór mówi o mnie więcej niż wszystkie lata które przeżyłem ...
Listening to this song makes me aware of how much I will miss Piotr.
the entire album is a masterpiece imho. very beautiful song...
beautiful, brings tear to my eye
Incredible indeed, very lucky to have been blessed to hear this.
I'm so lucky for being introduced to this album! It's in my top 5!
Ooooh, it's a lovely song :)
A great song and a fantastic album
Słucham tej piosenki od jej wydania. Ale teraz kiedy przechodzę przez depresję bardzo mi pomaga odnaleźć samego siebie

It's just and amazing, rich and ingenious video! Very well done. I think that's my favourite videoclip! I anyone feel like discussing the symbolisms in the videoclip, please tell me!
tak bardzo smutno, chce się tylko płakać...spoczywaj w spokoju Piotrze
I love this song and the video. A precious piece of work.
RIP Piotr You leave us with beautiful art.
Cut off from the dream
Where the sky meets water
Beneath forgotten stars
Feeling like a child
I embrace what I came for
And what I’ve overcome
Oooh, it’s a lovely life
You have gone so far
Don’t give it up
Oooh, it’s a lovely life
You gotta go with
What you think is right
Delve into myself
With my truth and devotion
I start another flow
Gliding up and down
In my yearning for daylight
I find you in my soul
Oooh, it’s a lovely life
Sun emerges from behind the clouds
Oooh, it’s a lovely life
You gotta go with
What you think is right
Cut off from the dream
Where the sky meets water
Beneath forgotten stars
I feel like a child
Found in waking life
This is a masterpiece marriage of music & video.
Breathtaking, touching and soothing...
The album is SUPER and this song is wonderfull. Especially when it's played live!!!!!
Just Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Album of the year?
+Ilias Iliou It's not better than Leprous' album that's for sure
+Omair Sheikh please find me a song better than "Saturate me" and then maybe i will change my mind. Cheers!
Ilias Iliou "Moon" and "The Flood" by Leprous :-).
+Omair Sheikh i go check right away,bro! And i will tell you my honest opinion about it! Thanx Omair! :)
+Ilias Iliou No problemo. Well if you're in a Riverside mood, then you might not enjoy those songs right away. But Leprous' new album is pretty good. Riverside's newest is a little underwhelming imo unfortunately. It has good moments obviously, but it feels too safe.
This is the album of the year for sure.
Gorgeous video from a superb band.
Miłość od pierwszego przesłuchania
Ten wokal jest taki uspokajający :)
Bardzo fajny teledysk i muzyka
Fantastic song.
Tears cover my eyes, such a beautiful feeling.
Thank you Riverside...
This song has got another meaning for me now. I really hope he found a better place and I really hope we all got to see him again in another life. Take care of our Piotrm please.
Gosh... so this is what grace looks like in the flesh
we will never forget you piotr r.i.p
Piotr Grudziński RIP.... swieć Panie nad jego duszą....
