I like this particular version of "Innocent" most of all. It is so natural and genuine. And they showed that all those rock'n'roll things are not really necessary for a good composition and good performers. Besides Anita is lively and Mike is concerned and supporting in this show. That is something really pleasant to see.
28 years I've been into Mike...I was 12 when I first got Tubular Bells and he only gets better as he goes on. He is an amazing, amazing musician. This man is GOD! It doesn't get any better than Mike
I think this is quite impressive! Live, just "ad hoc". With no background music to support, just the guitar. I bet not many of the nowadays "stars" could do that...
Anita hat eine wunderschöne Stimme. Diese tolle Frau hat Mal ein Stück mit unserem leider zu früh verstorbenen Roy Black gesungen. Ich höre Roys Musik nicht so gerne, aber dieses Lied, dass er mit Anita gesungen hat, fand ich damals so toll. Dieses Lied heißt: Schön, ist es auf der Welt zu sein"...
Absolutely amazing song with a only acoustic guitar and a microphone... When I grow up i want to be like Mike XD... (by the moment i also play acoustic guitar and composing my own songs...., XD) Why the comercial music nowadays is not like these 80's and 90's songs?
Danke für die Info. Hab gestern einen Ausschnitt von "Innocent" gesehen in dem Anita und Ihr Sohn zu sehen sind. Er spielt die Gitarre und sie singt dazu. Hat sich für Ihre 46 oder 47 Jahre noch gut gehalten. Bei Ihr konnte man immer über die Jahre sehen wie sie sich entwickelt. Wusste nicht mal dass die Duett Partnerin von Roy Black den Song "Innocent" sang.
The album, Earth Moving,came out in 1989 so i'm guessing it would be about then if it was a promo on Good Morning Britain. From that album See The Light is the one that really does it for me
Mike and Anita´s dauther was born in 1988. And their son in 1990. But only one year later the couple was separated. Annita with her children came back home to Northway.
Just to say, yes Anita has at least one (one that I know of) solo album - called Voices, it's on Amazon (UK) - won't let me post the link though... (I know it's not available at the mo, but it was not long ago (when I ordered it :P ) so it should be again soon ;) ) Hope that helps :)
This must be like No. 2 video uploaded to youtube, isnt it? 2006 dafuq I havent discovered even facebook by then :D Also the comment section looks like graveyard by now :D
Excellent, totally amazing! I wish I could sing 1% this good. Any ideas why she wasn't more famous? I checked - she doesn't even seem to have a fan site! :(
Absolute genius- no help at all just raw talent. She has the most incredible voice. Mike oldfield a legend just like Kate bush is. X
I love these two, wow she has such a fantastic smile!!!!!
isnt it fantastic when two people who love each other write a song for their daughter and sing it together ))) wuoah!
oldfield needs to be added to the most important and influential composers of our time!!!!
fan for 20 years!!!!
Holy shit, she's got an incredible voice.
Only true artist can perform cold like that ,on a talk show none the less.
Mike oldfield acoustic version is by far the best version of this song. Listen to his work on the guitar. Fantastic!!!!!!
Yes the single is quite cheesy.
The best version of innocent. This guitar has specific following. Mike's best song.

What a nice performance. You don´t miss the rest of the instruments. A clever melody, a guitar, and a beautiful voice...thanks for posting
Sehr schön Anita.

I'm from Baltic states.i would like to tell u .all Scandinavian's perfect in singing.thats for sure
Beautiful duo! Love her voice and his lyrics and guitar playing! Simply perfect! She also has an amazing English accent for a Norwegian!

Is it just me or does she sing EXTREMELY clear?
Regardless the best version of the song, more instruments kills it.
Yes it’s a rare song which is best kept simple. Perhaps to reflect it’s pure simplicity.
anita is from heaven sent!!!!!
awesome acustic guitar work, mike oldfield rocks
Anitas is just great! and Mike, well no need to say much, legend, genius, musician wonder, take your pick
Anita Hegerland is so beautiful:)
THIS is art, folks.
Wonderfuuul, great singer and great music, they got it!!!!
this is better then the "album"... much better
La mejor época de la carrera musical de Anita Hegerland fue cuando, estuvo junto a Mike Oldfield. Lástima que se separaron.
¡Saludos!
Magnifique performance vocale matinale !!!
Wunderschön!!!!!😍
Beautiful Voice
Nice.. was für eine Stimme Sie hat.. wow... besser als auf den Aufnahmen.. Danke Anita und Ihm Mike aber auch dem Roy Black
I remember watching this live. Have always loved it
Great! This is a liveplay!
I love this version, 5 stars!
he is gorgeous !
: ) I noticed her "mistake" at the second chorus ; )
great song, very nice voice
wonderful video, THANKS!!!
wow, what a voice!!
WOW! Great performance! :)
This is a very precious video!
One of the Best of the Best of the Best! And a great guitar player, by the way.
no mic and she does that with her voice?! even with the semi noisy recording. Im stunned
of course the performance is mic'd - how else do they put reverb on her voice?
so natural, so easy, awsome.
Absolutely amazing song with a only acoustic guitar and a microphone...
When I grow up i want to be like Mike XD...
(by the moment i also play acoustic guitar and composing my own songs...., XD)
Why the comercial music nowadays is not like these 80's and 90's songs?
A very lovely song!!
Love the sound on the guitar!
Awesome! beauty voice!
I love Mike Oldfield but I didn't know this song which is very beatiful (the singer too !)
It was his pretty wife Anita, but they divorced. 😐
👍 great
Just perfect

Very very nice
Mit langen Haaren sah er deutlich rockiger aus, als 2 Jahre zuvor 1987. Passte zu Ihm.
so nice
paralax tranceBeautiful Women and Voice and song. romantic song
🥰👏
Made my Day!
Mike and Anita´s dauther was born in 1988. And their son in 1990. But only one year later the couple was separated. Annita with her children came back home to Northway.
i am a fan
Ain't she sweet. Sweet, norwegian girl, Anita!!
such a sweet person!
Es un GENIO en toda regla!!!1
Just to say, yes Anita has at least one (one that I know of) solo album - called Voices, it's on Amazon (UK) - won't let me post the link though...
(I know it's not available at the mo, but it was not long ago (when I ordered it :P ) so it should be again soon ;) )
Hope that helps :)
lovely song, especially when we take into account that it is written for a child
very beautiful lady
I love him so much. \if I am to judge ever he is the one.
There is only one mike oldfield
This must be like No. 2 video uploaded to youtube, isnt it? 2006 dafuq I havent discovered even facebook by then :D Also the comment section looks like graveyard by now :D
The singer is (actually was) his wife, Anita Hegerland
please next........
Late 80s be 20s, I was born in 78 so 32 this year.
anita has one of the best voices i"ve ever heard !!!!!!!!
Maggie Reilly was better
For live very good!
Good stuff. :)
This is the MUSIC. It is not reachable for most modern singers/instrumentalists, to play in live that way, what would be enjoyable.
Anita Hegerland from Norway !
Sincerly, I prefer this version (unfortunately too short) than the Studio one.
Yes it is.
Nice......
MUCH better than the album version.
whats the name of this song and damn she's good I feel tingly inside.
totally agree
It may be something to do with the fact that the video was ripped from a VHS tape, but Oldfield steadily looks like James May. Not sure why...
Check out Anita Hergerland and her son with Mike playing that very same tune on You Tube...write down in the search " noah oldfield anita innocent"
Wow, I didn't knew, that mike oldfield and Anita Hegerland had a child together. Or am I wrong? It's a great acoustic version by that song.
I love Anita´s voice, she has a similar tone as Agnetha in ABBA, at least in my opinion, clear, high and intense...
Oh my god
reading richard bransons biography, and this pretty much help start virgin records.
wow. he's such a freak ;) awesome
Cudo!!
The song is INNOCENT ;-)
oldfield can be a quite vicious bastard
Excellent, totally amazing! I wish I could sing 1% this good. Any ideas why she wasn't more famous? I checked - she doesn't even seem to have a fan site! :(
almost 20 min before 9 PM?
me to!
