This song takes me back to my first ever open air concert in Woolacombe in 1970. We were waiting for the bands to start and this was played over the pa system. I fell in love with the song and it evokes such memories of seeing FREE play live, supported by MAN and AMAZING BLONDEL. Enjoy...
I saw Labi at The Stables in 1979 and again in Leicester in 2008. Got to speak to him and he signed a couple of my albums. Love him. He is such a lovely person.. His music sums him up. I wish I could write a song and dedicate it to him, but it wouldn't be as beautiful as his compositions.
Always remember the brilliant Jimmy Young playing this all time classic on his Radio One shows back in the day. Should have been a massive hit here in the UK. Regards both to Labi and good old Jimmy Young....
valdery52 i was at the same concert in liverpool, you've brought back some happy memories of that time. wish he would come back to liverpool, keep looking in the local press but nothing happening, dont think labi tours much now.
Went to see him in 1971 ish at the Shakespeare in Liverpool. Went backstage to meet him. I had a royal blue satin maxi dress with little blue flowers embroidered on and he sang a couple of lines of this song backstage to me. I must have only been about 19/20. I was very shy and remember blushing beetroot, which I think made him sing all the more. Lovely person and a gentleman. Spoke very softly.
Truly beautiful song,thank you so much Labi this song has stayed with me since 1970 and i will always love it, thanks also for the posting.I hope that Labi is living a happy life.
yesterdays man with a grin, whatever happened to him? words I remember when I'm down and thinking about lifes troubles, the song makes you remember happier days and then I forget all my worries, until a month ago I never thought I would hear the song again after 40 years of singing it too myself, thank you for posting it mbfruity,
I have this album and is the greatest song I ever knew. It is my phone tune, my God! I missed out watching him in a pbu in Plymouth..one day I will ask him how the inspiration came for this...Heaven on earth
This must be the most beautiful under-rated song on You Tube. Loved this since day one. Why wasnt it a massive hit. Remember it getting played, then it just disappeared. Appreciate it even more now i am a dad. Please come back and bless us with some more of your great music and smile Labi. The world needs people like you even more now. All the respect in the world Mr Siffre....
Thanks for posting this, my dad used to sing it to me when I was a little girl, brings back some good memories. I remember the black album and following the lyrics on the back
Thanks for posting this song. I have always loved it and now I have an 8 year old daughter it brings a tear to my eyes when I hear it and picture her playing in the sand.
Heard Labi on the radio the other day singing ' It must be love' and remember this track. Hav'nt heard it for nearly, god it must be forty years. Lovely song, and it brings back so many memories of the first love of my life. Thanks for putting it up.
remember listening to this wonderful song on my head phones as my three year old daughter wearing a blue dress played in the sand on the beach .God it made me realise how much i loved her and how much i love Labi's songs . Thanks labi for a special time on the beach never to be forgotten .
HI loved this song all my life...wonderful to have it here and represented. Thanks so much Thsi music is my phone ringer and my whole life is rapped up round this song..cant wait to meet Labi, if not in this life, in the worlds to come and ask him him how he wrote such a beautiful peice of heavenly music....
Labi Siffre reminds us of a certain age group of a time when there was love in the world, and we were part of it - despite the terrible things that were going on then, his music was very personal for us..
after a load of years i,ve found it this must be one of the best that labbi ever sung isaw him in birmingham many years ago i,ve been searching for this ever since cheers
This is what You Tube is all about .. music lovers all over the world posting great songs for all to hear. This is one of the greatest songs ever written sung by one of the worlds best vocalists, thank you very much mbfruity for posting this .... certainly a ********** rating xx
I so Love and adore this song,and have`nt heard it for years,I actually heard Labi Siffre singing it in concert roughly around 38-39years ago,I used to put it on my old record player to get my baby sister to sleep back then whilst babysitting,and it always worked! cheers for putting this up!
Love this song, my dad used to sing it to me and I used to follow the words on the back of the black album. Will always bring back lovely memories
