Listening to it again now and all the hairs on the back of my neck and arms are standing on end! Takes a really beautiful song and singer to do that. Glad Neil Young put it together but HATE his version of it.
It's definitely Prelude and I used to see them every night on my local television (Border in Cumbria) between the news and weather, and fell in love with it. The main girl singer was a very pretty girl with chin length straight hair and I think she was joined by two guys though I'll stand corrected on that as my memory often fails me. They always sang it live every night 'cos they were dressed differently and little nuances in their singing gave away the fact. It's a song I've always loved.
I remember listening to this when I lived in Sarnia Ontario on CHOK radio. I was frozen in amazement. All I could do was close the door and crank it!!
The group is NOT Trio,like that twerp said, it is by Prelude....i,ve still got the original 7 inch i bought in 1974!.......some idiots just haven`t got a clue have they!
@ThePikanii FYI you're wrong. One of many reasons: the Prelude cover has the line "and I felt like getting high", which TRIO replaces with "and I felt I could cry". Typical American censorship.
I always feel transended after hearing this song. I feel like angels have lifted me up for a brief moment then lightly touched down to earth & I've been shown grace.
I first heard this song at an exhibition at Olimpia, London, in 1979. They were using it to demonstrate a new idea Digital Recording, using betamax tape on the video band. The result was so impacting that i spant years trying to track the song and the groupdown.
I hope it was a typo..."one of the few covers that is considerably better than the original" ?????!!!!!!! Wow. I pity you. Do you like Raffi better than Bob Dylan too? Lame.
I still hold a remembrance of an aura i once created in my mind repeating this song over and over again in my mind. Back then i was so desperate that i wanted to die and be taken to a "new home in the sky" myself. it almost worked out, and i got real close. But now I am glad that i´m still alive and able to listen to this beautiful work of art, over and over whenever i want to, thinking positively, and grateful that i´m alive.
@jlloyd1052 Yep, fantastic album. Have a look at prelude dot org dot uk, I'm pretty sure you can still buy it from there. And even see them live if you witin reach of northern England
This song first hit the airwaves in August of 1975. It was on their self-named debut album : Prelude. Although this is the only song that got airplay, the entire album was excellent. Especially so was the fourth cut on side one : " Lady From A Small Town " I lost my copy in ' 84 and have been trying to locate another for over twenty years.
If anyone out there has this album on vinyl or cassette ( I don't think it went to CD ) , please...?
@sistersdaddy It's a slap in the face real Republicans that most of the present ones even call themselves Republicans. Death Cult is right. Same with Democrats.
Anyone who thinks Neil young did this song any justice.....Must like hearing 2 cats fighting...This version was brought to my ears in High School...Our show choir did it and recieved a Standing Ovation.
This takes me back to a bad time, when this piece of beauty stood out simple and clear. It is Neil Young's composition and a good song amongst his many, but Prelude's performance made it an absolute affirmation even though they're singing a song of doubt.
0:34 "In the 19-Seven-*teen*.??!! - Sounds like what they sing... never noticed it before. (As if to remove any hint of political controversy? that might get the wanna'-be-a-hit song banned on some stations?...)
IMO, unless it's high resolution images, they would actually come off better if they were STILL, instead of the slow (more artful) tracking or panning. ...I do like some of the artwork.
Wonder who came up with the idea to do it acapella? Prelude, or their producer, Fritz Fryer? Anyway, it hit #22 in the US (Billboard). How'd it do in the UK? God bless!
This is a good cover of a beautiful song. But I don't know why Neil Young won't allow his songs on You Tube. Shame on you Neil, this was one of your best songs. Can't find any Young songs from Dejavu, the only song on You Tube from that album is Woodstock.
I heard this version before any other and it still haunts me, it is wonderfull, i have sung it to my children who are all grown up now and they all love it as much as me
@Erredmek I hold a very strong resemblance of an aura i once created thinking about death repeating this song in my mind over and over again. back then i was so desperate that i wanted to die myself. it almost worked out. now, i am glad that i am alive and still able to listen to this beautiful work of art as many times as i want to.
My mom used to play the album this was on when I was little. I just heard the song for the first time in like twenty years, and time just rolled back. Every time she played it, This song made me cry. It still holds the same power over me. It's simply beautiful. Combining it with visuals by John Pitre was pure genus. I clicked favorite, and gave you five stars. Thank you very much!
Absolutely the best rendition of this song ever. I remember having this version back in the 1970's on a variety album of different artists and songs. Listened to it many times. You put together great art work to accompany it. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thanks for posting... mtrott1
i played this as a disc jockey somwhere betw '78 and 87. i remember it didnt exactly blow the lid off the charts and i never could figure out why. at least our station made it a local favorite and to this day it is still a fav of mine. very nice piece of work!
Stay clear of the Dolly Parton version. Pretentious crap it is. They changed it from 'getting high' to ' I felt like I could cry." God that's retarded. What do they think they're going to do; encourage drug use? Gag.
my fuckin fave man x.x.i sooo love this song x.x..x.x.x its like..u can close ur eyes 2 it, and it feels soo peaceful, i love the bit about the burned out basement with the full moon.x.x.xan feelin like getin high
Absolutely heart-stoppingly stunning. This never fails to make my spine light up and tears spring to my eyes... and the artwork is sensational. Beautiful video... well done you... I love it... more please! xoxoxo Jay xoxoxo
This song is so beautiful! The harmony is so soothing. They don't make them like this anymore! I remember my father playing their LP over and over again,
I know I have this song, sung by this same group - but it is not on a Prelude CD; it is played, as the ending song on a totally unrelated CD. Can anybody tell me what this CD might be? It's driving me crazy....
This reminds me of my childhood. Mom would always play this and sing along. I knew the lyrics by the time I was 3, I think. Lol! Now I sing it and play it for my kids and they know the lyrics, too. Very cool art, btw.
God, this blows away the cobwebs doesn't it?. I was nine when it was released and still remember being stunned into silence when it played on the radio at my parents dress factory in South London. Beautiful.
Lead vocals by Irene Hume of Prelude. They played at a folk club called The Watermill in Nidderdale, North Yorkshire - I think in 1973. Irene bought me a pint of Theakstons Old Peculier!
GeoffreyHale, you are correct in this, Prelude's cover version. And as to changing the form and message from Neil's original lyrics, so be it. I believe it gives much more coherence to the song than Neil's rendition constantly being changed (i.e. : "the 21st Century"). It also has much more meaning to me personally beginning with "talking about a Queen"(I descend from European Aristocracy);"lying in a burned-out basement - hoping for a replacement"(my Grandfather did at Chateau-Thierry in 1918).
it was Prelude, I remember me and my pals trying to copy them in the school music room! good memories! lol! anyway its on an album called acoustic moods with some other good stuff from that era!
That Song...Those lyrics...so beautiful, just sublime. And those visuals...the art just ...fits. and it is an extraordinary body of work. but, listen... if we humans trash this planet (which looks like a given at this point, does anybody really think we deserve ANOTHER planet to rip all to hell? just curious.
Always loved this song but never knew the actual story behind the lyrics. Thank you to everyone who revealed it.
Incidentally, didn't they do a song called 'Follow You Down'? I have a recording of a song mentioning this lyric done by a female of similar vocal. I found it on a tape I had borrowed from a friend of mine but there was no tracklisting. It begins 'We were together, relaxing in love, sunny shine weather more than enough' if that's a help.
'BleedBNG' ~ Thankyou for clarifying the date that also gives credence to the WW 1 connection . I thought it was my age and hearing that were at fault .

They changed the lyrics: Young sings "Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies." Prelude sings "Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen sevenTEEN"
1970s or 1917.
When I first heard their version, I thought it was about a First World War battle until I heard Young's version later.

This reminds me of my childhood. Mom would always play this and sing along. I knew the lyrics by the time I was 3, I think. Lol! Now I sing it and play it for my kids and they know the lyrics, too. Very cool art, btw.

God, this blows away the cobwebs doesn't it?. I was nine when it was released and still remember being stunned into silence when it played on the radio at my parents dress factory in South London. Beautiful.

Listen to the words 1917 makes more sense than 1970 !

Lead vocals by Irene Hume of Prelude. They played at a folk club called The Watermill in Nidderdale, North Yorkshire - I think in 1973. Irene bought me a pint of Theakstons Old Peculier!

Neil often sings the mother nature line as "...in the twenty-first century". Certainly true.

GeoffreyHale, you are correct in this, Prelude's cover version. And as to changing the form and message from Neil's original lyrics, so be it. I believe it gives much more coherence to the song than Neil's rendition constantly being changed (i.e. : "the 21st Century"). It also has much more meaning to me personally beginning with "talking about a Queen"(I descend from European Aristocracy);"lying in a burned-out basement - hoping for a replacement"(my Grandfather did at Chateau-Thierry in 1918).

That Song...Those lyrics...so beautiful, just sublime. And those visuals...the art just ...fits. and it is an extraordinary body of work. but, listen... if we humans trash this planet (which looks like a given at this point, does anybody really think we deserve ANOTHER planet to rip all to hell? just curious.

Always loved this song but never knew the actual story behind the lyrics. Thank you to everyone who revealed it.
Incidentally, didn't they do a song called 'Follow You Down'? I have a recording of a song mentioning this lyric done by a female of similar vocal. I found it on a tape I had borrowed from a friend of mine but there was no tracklisting. It begins 'We were together, relaxing in love, sunny shine weather more than enough' if that's a help.

'BleedBNG' ~ Thankyou for clarifying the date that also gives credence to the WW 1 connection . I thought it was my age and hearing that were at fault .
