Richard Thompson - Word Unspoken Sight Unseen - VH1 2003

[labyrinthcorridor]

Since Fairport Convention, I've listened. This song is one that lives in my heart, expresses the unspoken wishes of so many. To be accepted & loved without condition..who hasn't wanted this wish to come true? Richard Thompson is genuine & one of the greatest musicians ever. I thank the person who made this available & thank Mrs Thompson for Richard Thompson.

My favorite guitarist /singer/songwriter since first hearing him on Rumor and Sigh. I watch him and am embarrassed to say that I "play" guitar myself. He's on another planet.

thanks for the compliment daf827. i brought RT in that day for a session of a series we used to do. guests stretched from buddy guy to lou reed to godsmack. fun times. i recall, as some below do, not realizing how deep this song was until he unfurled it in front of us. the room is a closet, and the audience of six (including camera dudes) could barely fit. thanks to joni36 for the liberation. - jim macnie

I honestly think this is one of his very greatest, mostly underappreciated songs. It's up with his best, and therefore up there with the best ever.

joni36 delivers again! thx for posting! sublime. Hard to believe VH1 would have someone of Richard's caliber do a show like this.

It's such a tense song, restless and driving. I love the way he plays percussively.

For some crazy reason I overlooked this song on the cd until I was listening to it on 'shuffle'. I'm thinking currently that it's pretty close to a perfectly crafted and executed song. The lyrics are so brilliant; clever and yet so sweet and full of feeling. The singing is just sublime, the harmonies on the cd perfect. He is so SO good.
