Ashfields and Brine by Archie Fisher

[darkzyxu]

Maybe ashfields and brine or gold flowers rare Time and sweet colombine will brighten the air And all of the sorrows and tears you have known Will be cinders and see where a blossom has grown Far from ashfields and brine Turn to the north wind's cold in your face Ask and you'll find a calm peaceful place A clear-running stream and a forest of pine A morning for dreams and an evening for wine Far from ashfields and brine

Beautiful, warm vocals interlaced by poetic lyrics that transport you into a world of beauty and loss, yet a place from where you never want to return...

[charliedehaven]

Not heard this before, tho I have some of Archie's albums and have seen him live. This is beautiful. Thanks for the pictures too

[Winterlightshadow]

Haunting melody laced with deep, emotive vocals and poetic lyrics

[GluteusMaximised]

It is a song of lifetimes and love and memories and longing!

Heartbreaking...it  chronicles the lives of the common man!

I have loved Archie's voice since I forst heard it in the 1960's and it's still thrills me - Thank You

There's nothing 'graining' about his voice whatsoever. It's far nicer to listen to than the one dimensional crud shoved down our throats by these talent shows on TV.

Archie's a wonderful performer but his real strength is in his writing. Thanks for posting!

This is a great song from a truly terrific album "Sunsets I've Galloped Into". There are a number of gems off of it.

I don't find find Archie's voice even remotely grating. Very warm and soothing actually.

Thanks for posting it :)
