curtis8516, I certainly did watch bbc4's doc.( for the second time!).John was on T.V. quite a lot in the 70's ( OGWT, In concert etc..)and I remember my younger brother and me being captivated by his hypnotic guitar playing. Of all his great music Small Hours is my favourite.

[terryeggett1]

[im4out]

magical....

[BryanHayes23]

John Martyn must simply be one the most underrated musicians of all time. His song writing has the perfect combination of 'simple melody' and yet carries a subtle complexity that only an attempted understanding of the man can lead you to appreciate. Despite his rough exterior, his music reveals a delicate song writer that generations will enjoy.RIP John Martyn. Your music will serve as the most perfect epitaph.

[arnieboy123]

John martyn has probably written the most inspiring and beautiful piece of music I've ever heard but, I've been told of someone who has read his auto-biography that he was suppose to be a bit of a tit, which amazes me when you listen to his music.

[fleadle34]

Should have loved her more , it's a lack of loving that kills us quick !

[arnieboy123]

musical geneous !!!

[CarolinaBeachcomber]

Sounds like it was written from the beyond.....

[cwwiss1]

I couldn't love this more!

[badriyah43]

This song send shivers down me.  Amazing.

[xBeingNEONx]

so thankful that Ashes to Ashes introduced me to this song:)

[nickcaldo]

@Scoob505. if im not mistaken i think john lived out his last years in ireland in a converted church so i cant see him being anti irish.

[dee5184]

Beautifull, chilling. keep on john martyn.

[dee5184]

beautifull, chilling. keep on john martyn.

[craigfromnewcastle]

@Scoob505

Hi I'm not being condescending (I hope) but may I suggest thinking about forgiveness for people's weaknesses and enjoy what he was fantastic at?

I think he was incredible at expressing emotions through music, and I'm sure if he met enough good Irish people, he'd like them.

Some are awful people, some are beautiful - like all of us.

Even if he hated every Irish person on the planet, it doesn't make his music less enjoyable for you.

Kind wishes.

Craig

@Scoob505

[MrPosdnuos]

im 16 and this is one of my all time favourite songs.

not because i was introduced to it by a parent but simply because it is amazing.

his music is timeless and appeals to anyone with taste.

RIP

[karlosthegreat11]

@MrPosdnuos i was in a full time professional band when I was 16 (now 34) and for my 16th birthday one of the guys bought me 'Solid Air; with the inscription ' Welcome to puberty'' Changed my life. 16 is a good point to start apreciating music like this, it means you're years ahead of everyone else. well done.

[woobear45]

only appreciated by those of a certain age and genre........ John Martyn part of our history. He was my world inthe late 70's

[bannanachops]

@woobear45 don't agree,all ages and genres enjoy John Martyn's music.

[NedsMissingTeeth]

[111chazz]

@rooduck You know the man well. Bless you but you forgot the guitar my friend. Peace and love and all you desire in life.

[Lucyyylocket]

[samsaricillusions]

One of his greatest songs. Deeply moving and heartfelt, leaves me with a lump in my throat whenever I hear it.

Miss you big guy.

[valyuntbe]

Incomparable and dearly missed

[3rk4u]

rip xxx,never forgotton

[ricardovmonteiro]

The man covered this several times later in his career, but nothing can match this original recording. His voice is impeccable here.

[divorcedalcoholic]

Is there anyone on the planet that can listen to this without crying?

[elinrees]

@divorcedalcoholic I agree. Such a touching song

[angelchez]

Such a beautiful song, was used in Ashes to Ashes series 3 episode 7 and it perfectly fitted the scene

[kevertq]

Marvellous Song. It was (in part) on the 7th episode of series 3 of the (UK) series of Ashes to Ashes. I have to say it was the best scene of a great TV programme because of this piece of music.

[xMsChiefx]

John Martyn, musician's musician, Respect. RIP John x

[LottieGlenisterzGirl]

beautiful song thnxz for uploading it!! :D

[TheGuitarManEIRE]

@Semimentalman2

it shud allow u to do it. it mite be because youtube recognises it as a copyrighted song and will not allow these paticular vids to be shared on other sites. Try sharing one of the live versions. Those are not afflicted ;-)

[staplep]

@Semimentalman2 You use bebo do ya??? Ever heard of Facebook? Clown.

[staplep]

@Semimentalman2 You use bebo do ya??? Ever heard of Facebook? Clown.

[staplep]

@Semimentalman2 Do you use bebo do ya?? Ever heard of Facebook? You are a joke.

[123jsbach]

@staplep That seems like an unnecessarily unpleasant comment to make, especially under such a divine song. Lifes too short.

[haha444king]

epic loving it

[mazrio128]

It's true. This is one of the greatest songs ever recorded, sang, performed, or heard.

[capaldicorporations]

Thanks for uploading this

[BluesRiverMan]

Thank you John, you gave us love, songs and Words to help us in this Journey through our lives.

I met John in 1987, in Toronto. He was honest, warm and nice person - no attitude or big ego.

Bless you  John - friend from the past....

[Zalvation3]

nice....

[br8ndooo]

I LOVE YOU LOLLA!!xxx

[UFOIST]

Perfection in every way!

[ArgentineJu]

The man lived like a devil but sang and played like a saint. I´ve loved his music for 40 years. RIP John, there can never be another. This song is your epitaph from all those who were touched by your genius.

[gillenpantera]

great comment i love johns music he is a legend, and also his music is perfect for a romantic night in with the lady.....thank you john boy!

[rathcelt]

A great loss. When you think of the dreck that passes for music these days, it's amazing Martyn isn't better appreciated. Pure genius.

[xmajek]

thats because hes the musicians musician. He typically isnt liked by normal listeners.

[BenEightyone]

One of the greatest ever songs. RIP John Martyn.

[drummiedan]

Johns music blows my mind on a regular basis. RIP you old rascal.

[babaluci]

Completely agree with both previous posts. Masterpiece by a sadly missed genius.

[doodleplop800]

It's a magnificent, wonderful, picturesque, stunning, magical, perfect song. I can't think of enough superlatives to describe it.

[CaitrionaBolger]

Why are there no comments here? Absolutely stunning song. Beautiful.

RIP John x
