The Lilac Time - Return To Yesterday

[MisAnnThorpe]

Could somebody, anybody please upload Black velvet? I just can't be doing with watching that bloody Battlestar galactica video ever again! What on earth were they thinking of? Drugs can do terrible things to the mind!

[lowfatchoi]

My first introduction to folk music was through the Lilac Time (i.e i was a fan of S. duffy) I first hated and thought, what the country song is this??? then i got so into it and brought Bod Dylan and all the other folk heros from the 60's and 70's and 90's... and now...haha

[TheChatter4]

it was 1987;charts were full of stock aken and waterman/dance music,this was not for me,i was watching tvs chart show,this came on,sounds like s tin tin duffy,as i had ups and downs on tape,i thought thats what i call music,went to local shop bought lp fantastic and paradise circus fantastic then bought all others,saw him in concert mid 90s he signed my duffy cd,he sould be massive,these lilac albums still sound fresh today real music also at time into the adventures/before famous crowded house

[paulusmctallus]

@mskoolcat1234 sorry can you say that again!!!!

[pressgangers]

if youve got Morning Sun by lilac time can you stick that up as well

[chuckschilling]

Very much reminds me of the studio work of another band I greatly enjoy - the Woodentops.

[kingdaniel69]

They were a very underrated band i think, the sound for the time wasn't that fashionable but i had a few of their albums and really liked them.

I was listening to the Garden State soundtrack just now and it made me think of this, really enjoyable.

@jpmiller88 Black velvet is a truly superb song and ranks alongside my favourite work by people like David Sylvian and Talk Talk. It's strange but a few years ago I was playing the Looking for a day in the night LP and my wife said "Are you listening to Robbie Williams?!" (sacrilege I know!) but of course as we all know a few years later, he was actually writing for the talentless idiot. Having said that, he must obviously have been influenced by Duffy. It's just too much of a coincidence.

@kazuyohorie The songs that Stephen wrote with Robbie are brilliant. My favorite is Ghosts. I disagree when you say their partnership was a not a good thing, since they made amazing songs together. Robbie is a very talented singer and songwriter in my opinion, so their collaboration could only give birth to magic! And that was what happened in my opinion =)

[fintinger]

No video? The video was good...

[DadgeCity]

Yup. I have it on DVD somewhere.

[musicmoonlight]

I love this song! Thanks for sharing it here. I had this album.

[jnkss18]

you just don't get great songs like this anymore.

[petermines]

That's right. So few bands compose and actually play their own instruments these days.

Didn't they do a number called "days of the week" Been wanting hear it again for years now.

[jnkss18]

haven't heard of that song mate.what album is that on?songs like you've gotta love and black velvet are brilliant.i will keep an ear out for that one.

[petermines]

It's a great track as you say.

I have the urge to buy an album now.

What do you reccomend.

Found The days of the week on Paradise Circus so I'll add that to the list.

truly sad song but joyous and uplifting at the same time-you can feel a longing and need in the vocals-beautiful

[fairports]

god bless duffy and the mighty bob lamb.has anyone got black velvet.peace.

[DavidCKendall]

I thought I was the only one who had discovered this awesome group. Second only to the Beatles..this is my all-time favorite group. Duffy is a poetic genius...And love For All..Astronauts..need I say more? Beauty!

[crapidious]
