Saw this clip on BBC 4 - what a sublime piece of music! This arrangement is the best one I've ever heard...He could write it, sing it, but couldn't live it.
Just Magical..John you changed my love of music...you have inspired..you will be in my memory for ever...an icon....Peace and love to the world in your name.X
That's what you call a double bass player! Danny Thompson has played on more great records than almost anybody I care to think of. Shows the electric bass up for the comparatively ugly, (both in terms of its sound and appearance) that is really is. He and John Martyn were absolutely made for each other, the mad bastards!
this song is breathtaking... such a simple, bare bones, emotional journey through one mans heart... I always get the impression that John couldnt say these things to the women he has loved, he could only put it in song. R.I.P John Martyn the unsung hero of folk music.
I've started coming here once a night,more times when i can.Its fucking amazing!!! Love John loads x miss John loads.never gonna loose those gentle blues...!!!
if youll love me till my eyes got no more shame for you? you do the math,some one upload london conversation in full please,one of my all time faves of johns god bless the man,bless the weather ! !
yes.......nice comment..........just 2.28 outta your life.......yes ...so why i'm replying here i should be listening..........thanks for great comment........now where's that replay button ??
Crikey! Just so beautiful. And Mr Thompson is so lost in it too. If you kissed everything out of all the stuff for us, Mr Martyn we still couldn't miss or love you more. You've always made taking it easy , very easy. I miss you muchly xxx
hiya im4out. I was 15, took a a train up to town, saw him solo at marquee wardour st. That was it! only other thing id ever seen was black sabbath a few months previous. Ill never see anything like JM again. that would have been 1975. I think the echo stuff was in quad. I remember it all spinning round the room, more than just stereo. However my main piece of luck is I got to do a festival in Italy and he played too. Had to say hi eh? did! he was really fun, hung with me all evening. Result!
@woodentops hey sorry for so long a reply.....wow well done.....john used to visit friend of mine here in scotland. ayrshire...but i was always too busy with my grateful dead stuff to go see him.......i regret that....sooo much.......
in 1971, when I was 17 and living in Hastings for a short time, I met this extraordinary man, and saw him and Beverley at an impromptu festival at Farlight Cove, it was magic then and it still is and always will be - god bless you John and your beautiful talent xx
can you believe ..woody ..that danny and john used to punch f** k out of each other...then come out and perform this...ach that's the scott's for ye..... they punch ye ... means they like you... ha ha ha .good to see ye back woody..
''i couldnt love you more'' that line says it all ; you will be sadly missed john, r.i.p

If you kissed the sun right out of the sky for me

If you lay all night in the rain for me
I couldn't love you more
Just couldn't love you more
I couldn't love you more
