Nobody else can sound so vibrant and so melancholy at the same time. Never heard this before. I love Kates voice in these simpler songs. Quite a sad song but I love it.
It has been observed that even the more joyous pieces are often tinged with traces of melancholy, and even the most sorrowful pieces have elements of vitality struggling against all that would oppress them
You Tube is great for finding the songs you haven't go ton CD, but loved in the past (and the present!). God, the memories of listening to this at college and everyone else not having a clue!!!
I'm pretty certain this is different, though it's a long time since I've heard the original. The vocal line is different, has a slightly different tune, though it's very subtle.
I have asked at the Homeground forum and they all say it's the same version as on the original single. Maybe it's just because it was a long time since you played it that you thought it sounded different? It could also be the remastering to CD that made it sound different.
@muskndusk It's exactly as I remember it and I haven't heard it for years. I have a kind of photographic memory for music, (or is that phonographic?) and I am a musician. You musta heard a dif version somewhere.
Never heard this either. Kate is too too brilliant. What a God gifted voice and spirit. She is one who can absolutely bring tears to my eyes. No one like her
No, it's not unwise to ask. It's about a couple preparing for Christmas and the wife talks about how their marriage is getting colder and deteriorating as they grow older. And also about how happy they were when they were younger.
Beautiful

Not heard this in ages. Yes, it's a B-side and as far as I can tell, it's the original. Nice to hear it again!

A close cousin in terms of melody and mood to 'In The Warm Room'. A sensual delight.

@faddy24 agreed, my thoughts exactly. Never the less a great (never before heard) song by one of my all time favourite artists.

She has such an intimate imagination - a fading love - and she wrote it at 22!
and what a voice...

This is exactly the same recording as the b-side to the 7" single I have. Would love to find it as a mp3.

I'm sure this isn't the same as the version on vinyl, which I listened to over and over in the 80's. There's something different about the melody.

Are you sure? I have never heard about more than one version of this song. But I could always ask at the Homeground forum.

Yes, this is definitely the same version. Have been listening to this since it was released, and it hasn't changed a jot.

Thank you very much. But the video I'm most pleased with myself is "In Search Of Peter Pan".
I have also made an ABBA video and I will post it later tonight. Then I will start working on "Jig Of Life" and "Hello Earth".
