Levellers - Maid Of The River

[1974worldcitizen]

just one of the best - kudos to Rev Hammer for the original but love this more

[TheBaz06]

Been to see them live in Devon and in Lincoln too. They are fabulous. My daughter was brought up listening to these guys. She's had her pic took with Mark and John, hoping to get Simon next year. I need to be very jammy to even get near him, it'll be hard, I reckon. Love this song x

[hennan66]

top quality tune from a top band as good as Julie

[MissEbonyraven]

I played this all the time when I was at bath eastern bypass and manc airport. I was only just a teen but i've not forgot what I fought for and why I did. I may have been a small goth kid but I hung with some of the best ppl then. I still remember Orange and the punk guy who nailed his ear to the tree (shamed that ive forgot his name now :(...)

[MissEbonyraven]

@MissEbonyraven

was gutted the day the levellers dint turn up at manc airport. could of done with their support :( ah well

[claire4Catsmusical]

Not bosting or anything but my mum is good friends with the levellers(; Lovely song <3

[MeinCraft93]

well said message in this, beautiful. For hope against Inridius! (sup IA group)

[davehusein]

I feel the same about students whining about having to pay for an education, whats more tree huggers protesting bring costs themselves. Watching student champagne socialists use their right to protest and voice their opinion to decimate buildings and infrastructure sickens me to (as do the costs associated with their actions). That protesting muppet that threw the extinguisher from the roof should have got life for attempted murder. Wastes of human skin, quite simply oxygen thieves.

[MissEbonyraven]

@davehusein

education should be available to any who want it. if you cant afford it but cant afford it doesnt seem right imo. maybe you was born with a silver spoon and never wanted for nothing but some ppl are trying to better themselves. so sut up bitching about students who struggle to pay tuition fees ok

[amiga512k]

@MissEbonyraven everyone should be given the right to better themselves, you are so right :)

[MissEbonyraven]

@davehusein

go home and think about what you said. if it wasn't for ppl being students you wouldnt have the country you live in now. every succesfull man was once a student of something. so toddle off with your negative steriotypes and run back to your rich daddy

[davehusein]

@MissEbonyraven lol i don't mind anyone adding value. Bettering yourself is the right of everyone. You may like to review my point one more time prior to making a muppet of yourself again. For your information I could not be further from being born with a silver soon in my mouth. The difference here are choices i made.University was something i did once i could afford it through my own efforts not those of of others or the tax payer. Financially the UK has to change many things. Get a Job!

[shadesball]

Sorry, ment REV not RED, typo and wine

[shadesball]

A few have asked what this song is about. I contacted the Levellers who put me in touch with Red Hammer who wrote it. He replied ... and I quote.

"The answer to your quest young sky walker is....Gaia.

Regards, Rev"

[krazykittykat100]

I feel physically sick

I just finished reading exactly how much the war in iraq cost

it is a lot more than it would cost to finance the whole worlds green energy developments fromm now to 2030

[chocomog35]

It is pretty sickening isn't it?

[GrumpyOldChap]

Lovely song. I played on my first music course. I just wonder what's the message of this song?

[krazykittykat100]

I have been looking for this one for ages. I knew it was by the levellers but that was all i knew. I have finally found it. Love this song

[dragonfitter]

@krazykittykat100 it is actually a cover of a song by rev hammer

[WAGGY31]

fuck ye tears its just a cool song

[Oranjeappel]

guess the maid of the river is the Earth or maybe a part of it, like a forest or so

[joeytoker]

@Oranjeappel aye the goddess OUR LAND!!! that we so destroy! this is what i take from it (:

[MrDekito]

Ever heard of Joan of Arc, the goddes of love? Perhaps this song goes about the thin line between love and hate...

[stolenfaeriechild]

This song is so sad. I grew up listening to this. It will haunt me Forever...

[HeatherMac320]

thanks for uploading. Love this! =)

[exiledred77]

Still my favourite Levellers track.

I listened to this in the trees at Newbury, and it gave me the strength I needed to hang in there. still brings a tear to my eye when I hear it.
