A very beautiful combination of this song and the movie, they are almost in a beauty competition :). They both show that real freedom is not an easy score, but the outcome of love and dedication. Thank you for this lovely upload! I featured it on my channel today. Greetings from The Netherlands.
This is a stunning interpretation of a wonderous poem. One of my favourite Fairport tracks, subdued and subtle and equally as amazing as Matty and other classics
Richard Lovelace defended the king during the English Civil Wars and became famous as one of the cavalier poets. When Anglican bishops were banned from Parliament, Lovelace presented a petition calling for their restoration. For this he was imprisoned for seven weeks in Gate House, Westminster. While in prison he wrote To Althea.
I deliberately chose not to interpret this song in a political way but instead went for a loose interpretation of the theme - circumstances and conditions don't have to limit our dreams and ambitions. You can of course just enjoy the beautiful photography and the geese!
This song is just gorgeous, thank you so much for posting it.
