Happy Thanksgiving Sandy Denny

[the ig]

it could all have ended after this, it would have been ok (for me, for you..)

about the fatal fairport crash, reportedly

massively superior to the album version

whole gig:

 

[the ig]

probably my favourite song:



no band was ever better at cushioning a voice, solo she struggled overall I think…the solace of rt’s solo..

 

[the ig]

that or beach boys ‘don’t talk…’

 

[the ig]

a ‘who knows where the time goes’ for those who’ve actually see some time go

drowned in syrupy strings on the record

 

[the ig]

nothing kills more than her 1st verse on ‘meet on the ledge’ tho..



shit u know what I think I prefer ‘..holidays‘ to ‘liege & lief’

 

[the ig]

fucking christ..

[the ig]

probably my 3rd favourite song:

 

[the ig]

if u feel like dyin



poss her greatest ever singing on this track imo, those slightly precariously stretched syllables, riding currents, the controlled melisma, the delicious poise between sadness and bliss, her watchfulness and awareness but not heavily held

@thirdform What's that famous old hardcore tune that @blissblogger mentioned in energy flash or somewhere that samples a proper rural frolicking-lambs UK folk song?

Nah it's not that. I distinctly remember Reynolds writing about it somewhere but I'm drawing a blank. Might be a darkside thing, definitely early 90s

 

[0bleak]

that's 92

If it's not UK, its a hippyish San Francisco daisies-between-the-toes kind of thing, but I've got UK rural in my mind, and I think it was quite famous?

 

[Benny Bunter]

Or maybe I just imagined it. It's possible.

That track was famous enough to be on one of the many multitudes of rave cash-in compilations that flooded all of the CD stores here - even the most boring chains and big box stores.
I remember a girl I was kind of seeing, we tripping together, and she brought that CD out and started going on about that track, specificaly that intro.
Kind of broke my heart, it did.
