The Pentangle Cruel Sister

[adjrean57]

I agree we are obsessed with superficial beauty. The beauty we disregard, which increases as a person ages, are kindness, compassion, and an appreciation of nature, music and art. Some people, as they age, reach out to help others, especially young people going through the rough time of adolescense of struggling to find one's identity. People who have this kind of beauty are blessed, for this is a beauty of the spirit which endures.

Evokes many happy memories and images of the late 60s-early 70s, when it was a fab. time to be young!

Great album also love--- Franklin song about NE passage attempt..all lost

[notmemate]

Bugger me- isn't it so unfair what time does to beautiful women.

Sorry I know this is about the music- but I just couldn't help saying.

@notmemate In a society that glorifies youth & disparages elders, it is unfair. We have become such a superficial culture. I look at my own aging female skin & grieve at the loss of youth's beauty. I'd like to look at older folk and try and see the stories written in their skin...we forget they have lessons to teach us and are arrogant enough to disregard their place in society believing we are the new generation and thus know the new ways. Yes, it's unfair what times does to beautiful people.

７０年代、この曲に衝撃を受けてイギリスのバラッドを聴くように­なった。

バート・ヤンシュさんのご冥福を心よりお祈りします。

ﾍﾟﾝﾀﾝｸﾞﾙ､ｼﾞｬｯｷｰ･ﾏｸｼｰの澄み切った声が素晴­らしい､牧歌ﾊﾞﾗｰﾄﾞ"ｸﾙｴﾙ･ｼｽﾀｰ"６０～７０年代­を駆け抜けた崇高ﾊﾞﾝﾄﾞ

Slightly off the subject but does anyone else listen to this song and think it really should have been named, 'The full of himself Knight who thought he could have his cake and eat it too so messed two sisters about causing one of them to snap?' seems much fairer than 'The Cruel Sister' since he courted them both even though he knew he only had true feelings for one.

@Guenevere33

Yes, there is that for sure.  People used to be so weird. Pretty song though.

[furryrockets]

@Guenevere33 your title isn't very catchy though

[Shipley415]

I just found this song by accident on pandora, Its so sweet to the ears. I wish folk music was easier to come by.

[strokex1]

[ccdg1066]
