Silver Song by Mellow Candle

[yomotoro]

These guys deserve the wider recognition , even if it"s 30 years after .

Lindissima! De tirar o fôlego.

I saw Mellow Candle at Ballyvaughan, Co. Clare in Ireland around 1972. They played "Silver Song" in a tent on a glorious Saturday afternoon. What more could you ask for?

I scored a bootleg LP in Japan many years ago, you folks are so lucky with your originals!! I would never sell mine even if it was worth a lot haha!

Fantastic band, beautiful performance and songwriting!

[chronicreptile]

I can't believe I haven't heard them before. Incredible band.

[stephanklaus]

It is for me.

[stephanklaus]

Swaddling Songs is the best album ever.

[stevee989]

@stephanklaus  Its up there isnt it !

[stevee989]

Absolutely brilliant Lp. I got the original on Deram off a mate for 2 quid. Its in almost mint and i recently refused £1000 for it. I'd never part with it. Better than any album from the past 30 years. A classic.

[minibomb74]

@stevee989 Nice one mate. You can't beat vinyl . Not sure I would be able to turn down that sort of money but I know I would regret it for the rest of my life. Keep enjoying it mate.

[stevee989]

@minibomb74 Ive been cheating - i play the CD most times but maybe a couple of times a year i'll give the vinyl a spin. Pop pickers LOL

[DVDA007]

@stevee989 cant agree more... all my rare vinyl has a cd backup to ensure the vinyl stays minty... maybe its cheating but in 30 yrs when my wax is still mint ill be : )

[Antisthenes1]

So beautiful, sensitive, and if you listen to the lyrics, it's fucking real...

[spacequeen]

Wow, I read in an issue of MOJO magzine several years ago that this band never actually released an album.......anyway, good to finally hear them after just reading about them and wondering. 

[thebonsai2610]

Wonderful song- thanks!

[minibomb74]

@thebonsai2610 Thank you.

[minibomb74]

@thebonsai2610 I never realised that either. The whole album is amazing,

[minibomb74]

@smoketheweedman Did you flog it? How much did it go for if you don't mind me asking ?

[shaftsbury94]

@smoketheweedman worth a few bob that lad

[GreetsFromHell]

I wish somebody made a cover of this song! It's just THAT good.

[Elgol2010]

@GreetsFromHell - All About Eve covered this lovely song in about 1990. What a criminally underrated band Mellow Candle were.

[sgtkace]

thanks for uploading, i had no idea this song existed cos it was a single! now i dont feel so left out! :D

[minibomb74]

I only came across it by accident myself. Searched the internet for the Album.Costly but worth it.

[minibomb74]

Now you come to mention it....

Beth has a beautiful voice also,

[maoragwan]

anyone hearing poritshead glory box or its just me

[taildragger51]

Gorgeous song! Harmonies are angelic.

[hgejjeg]

Compelling Irish prog-folk. I love this band.

[tvorbryanre]

Gorgeous dreamy song...........thanks minibomb74

[minibomb74]

My absolute pleasure. Thanks for the feedback

[minibomb74]

I really wish someone would cover it to put it back in the limelight again. As far as I know only All About Eve covered it.

[Comus89]

One of the most beautiful songs ever
