About Glastonbury Song

"Glastonbury Song" is a song from Scottish-Irish folk rock band The Waterboys, released as the second single from their sixth studio album Dream Harder. It was written by Mike Scott, and produced by Scott and Bill Price. The song reached No. 29 in the UK and No. 12 in Ireland."Glastonbury Song" was inspired by the town in Somerset, England, and the single sleeve features a photograph of Glastonbury Tor, taken by Michael Mathias. Scott told Rolling Stone in 1993: "It's almost like a place to go on a pilgrimage, a holy, sacred place. It's inspiring to be there." Speaking of the song in a 2003 interview with Valley Advocate, Scott commented: "It's actually one of the most commercial, radio-friendly songs musically that I've ever produced. In many countries it was successful, but in Britain, they wouldn't play it because of the chorus." more »
