Sandy Denny and the Fairport Covention also planted their roots in FM Rock, vinyl world with milk crates to house your collection. Sandy Denny was an exceptional vocalist with a touch of Judy Collins and really inventive.Who knows where the time goes is a cover of a Judy Collins song although I am not sure whether the group or Judy penned it.
Oh the voice, the memories God be good to her. First heard her this song on the radio in the late 60's and you know it sounds just as as stunning today over 40 years later.
I've been listening to music for over 30 years now but this song ( and this version in particular ) is as close to perfection as any song can get !!!!!
I truly believe that Sandy Denny was touched by the hand of god. Such talent, wisdom and humility. I listen to her wonderful voice and lyrics, she paints pictures in my mind and touches my soul, I weep. I do hope that this dear, dear lady has now returned to the place and time whence she came and is at peace with the universe. She is deeply revered and missed.
There is a moment in the play "Jerusalem," where the main character puts on a vinyl copy of this song on the record player, and all else is quiet and Sandy Denny's voice fills the theater. I lost it -- at that moment. It was all I could do to keep from sobbing out loud. A perfect amalgam of a poignant brilliant play, a great performance by the lead actor, Mark Rylance...and then wham -- there is Sandy singing this song.
Amidst Led Zeppelin and all the great rock bands emerging in that time, there was also Sandy Denny and Fairport Convention. Wonderful memories back then of my highschool days 1970 :D
I heard both Judy Collins and Sandy Denny's version of "Do You Know Where The Time Goes" in Starbuck Coffee (Southern California) the other day, they even played "First Girl I Loved" by Incredible String Band, great taste, I think I have to buy back some Starbuck stocks...
@Gerryofcalifornia Dude get over Starbucks they just play that beautiful music to try and say hey were hip we are one of you folk/rock loving hippies. Bullshit they're are Greedy Corporate America and will try to capitilize on anything. Your intellilect, your emotions, your associations...remember they're the 1%.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written, Sandy or Judy's version which is better doesn't matter, they're both great, the only difference I think is British folk is usually more melancholic, sometimes I don't even have the courage to listen to Sandy's version or songs like "First Girl I loved" by Incrediabele String Band ( Judy's version is "First Boy I Loved")...
The saddest thing in life is the passing of time and the losing of lovers and friends, don't you agree?
Sandy Denny wrote this magnificent song at age 18; it has been recorded by so many artists...very evocative..What a legacy of beautiful songs she left us...
Who Knows Where The Time Goes - Fairport Convention [England] - 1969 - "AMG Pick. Melodically, the song matches the subtlety of the lyrics perfectly, with a vaguely country-infused electric guitar from Richard Thompson, which echoes the twilight agenda that is the basis for Sandy Denny's poetry." - No More Sad Refrains [import] [Original Recordings Remastered] (Universial Japan) [Disc 1]-2008.
NOTE: Her haunting vocals are some of the BEST you'll ever hear, And This Japanese Import is the BEST.
I'm not sure what a "Sod" is and I'm not sure what "shite" is, but I know...
that that this Red-Neck Texan, Nam Vet, of the same generation, is moved to tears every time I hear this wonderful ballad by this Lovely Lady. I never knew Sandy Denny, but I miss her severely! What a magnificent talent!!!
good post jtex - Sandy Denny has one of those rare voices that grabs your soul. Karen Carpenter had it as did Kate Bush if you have ever heard "the Man with the Child in eyes." Beautiful haunting and sad. RIP Sandy and Karen
@jjacktex I was SO-OOOO lucky to have actually seen her myself with Fairport Convention performing at Philadelphia's Academic Of Music in 1976, when I hear people write things like this. (Tom Waits opened for them)
What an amazing singer. This is REAL MUSIC , kids. Stick your Rap and Hip-Hop shite , LISTEN AND LEARN HOW REAL MUSIC IS MADE BY REAL MUSICIANS. Not some untalented twat with a keyboard , samples or a drum machine.
Jesus. What a voice. What a band. . . What a song. Too bad brilliance like this is just not around. And even if it were, most of todays music listening audience is absolutely clueless.
I wish Sandy had stayed longer at the "Fairport Fair." Together they made folk history and they gave one another support. In breaking away Sandy tested her independence and in later years had her life fall apart. We miss her so and wish things had been different. Early spirit and trying others' songs, old and new, made the group a success.
What makes this really special is the understated instrumentation from Richard Thompson et al. It gives Denny the perfect platform. If the musicians had been more selfish, it wouldn't convey the same power.
@andreaneilcmc I almost agree - but think Richard Thompson actually plays too much in this version. I am a fan of his but I could do with about half as much lead playing in here. One of the loveliest "folk/rock" songs ever, even so!
@andreaneilcmc I so agree. The subtle, but powerful, instrumentals elevate this version to level above the beauty of the lyrics and Sandy Denny's soulful vocals. DJB.
I discoverd Fairport early on when I was given a copy of Leige and Lief to listen to and privileged to hear Sandy live in a park in Harlow way back in 1974. There will never be another Sandy. Just awesome may she rest in peace.
En dan te bedenken dat ik een album kocht van Fairport Convention omdat 'wij' hippe oudere jaars erover hoorden praten..... zo in de blind. Met succes Duzzz. Back in 1973
First hearing of her in the late 6o's, I once had every abum of Sandy Denny's .. including even one she made with a very early group called "The Bunch". I saw Fairport Convention (and Sandy Denny) in Convocation Hall at the University of Toronto in '74 (I think). It was totally sold out, and this was amazing, for, in spite of their excellence, they were not well known!
One of the GREATEST songs ever by the GREATEST female folk singer....but she was much more...only a matter of time before they make a movie of her troubled life
Time isn't real, but it happens at 18.5 MPS here on Earth... I can not only show you where it goes, but more importantly, where it comes from. Google Michael Galileo, or friend me on FB.
My friend played this touching song for me a few weeks ago - so moving - he said she and Eva Cassidy were gone too young - way too soon" and we wrote a song for them and all who die "Way too Soon"
this is not joni mitchell it is sandy denny - wrong country different drugs. this was played at a funeral of a dear friend last year too - funny that... ha ha ha. one of the most wonderful songs ever written or recorded and richard t is just incredible on it. a tearjerker every time, literally every time. brilliant.
@MITCHWILD Wow Mitch - this seems so sad and knowing that she died at such a young age it makes it even sadder. I get why you like this so much. It's really touching. ♥
@homerjsinnott I don't think I've ever heard Joni sing this, but I bet you she'd knock it out of the park. Especially the very young Joni Mitchell voice. Sandy really is beautiful, though. Peace, from Michigan.
this song has everything, I am glad I am now old enough to not let my taste be influenced by peer pressure and can now enjoy this. Not that I was ever into pop music, but I missed out on the like of the teadrop explodes and the bunnymen cuz they where look on as a bit studenty. Saying that in the 80's while eveyone else in the country was listening to mat bianco, we were on the Genesis floyd axis, like all the other scallies in l'pool we thru in John Martyn and Gil scott Herron (RIP) santana Etc
Stunning, sensitive and sensational guitar playing from Richard Thompson on this classic track. Someone commented at the time that the finest session musicians in the world couldn't have backed up Ms Denny any better than the Fairport guys did on that occasion.
Love Sandy & the Fairports! In fact my parents met SANDY in 1975 in EDINBURGH when she was touring with the band! They got SANDY to sign my Medical card (I was only a couple of months old) Of course i still have it today & will always Treasure it!! She Signed it WHISPERED WITH LOVE......(my name) In fact my Dad says he fell in love with my Mum because she looked like Sandy in early 1970's! LOL!! SHE DID!!
26 Sandy Denny The young classically trained pianist Denny threw herself into the London folk scene while working as a nurse at Brompton Hospital. She went on to write songs immersed in imagery that would have graced a Pre-Raphaelite painting, delivered in a voice as clear as a mountain lake.
It may just be me but this is not totally like the vibe on some of the tracks on the Beatles Abbey Road and this was released before that album. Who were the real innovators?
and what did the beatles listen to know all ? .. Lennon was into Beefheart and stuff like this and Zappa,, The Beatles were human , they used the toilet and so on,,, twat !!
I - SO - LOVED this song by Judy Collins- I had NO idea this was originally by Sandy Denny - thank you for educating me. God Bless Sandy DeNny - what a WONDERFUL, PURE VOICE... a true "GENERATION LOST" BUT GLAD I WAS (SORTA) THERE!!!!
Got the v.late 1960s & early 1970s albums... but vinyl LPs are mainly consigned to the loft here! I respect your "top comments". By 100yds, I also dwell in Sutton, not Croydon.... but seek no crematorium placement? I now learn that Sandy Denny has "passed on". It was a struggle to get my own wife out of The Royal Marsden Hospital... but I did laugh to discover her ward doctor to be one taught Biology by me @ school. Maybe we all do some good things?
@lorrimang Sandy Denny wrote this when she was with Fairport Convention. Great sixties band. She died as the result of a fall in 1978 As far who posted this song; I wouldn't know. Enjoy. Beth
Sandy is singing via You Tube archive today. This lovely woman is being
blessed by the angels. Her voice is still very much up there in the sky somewhere. She possessed no ego, sang at a time when society was becoming materialistic and cynical. She was so genuine, that it almost even today (as I post this comment), makes me cry. I feel sorry for all music lovers who missed out on such a lovely spirit as Sandy Denny. She is a the sparkling jewel in a wondrous sky.
One of the wonderful qualities that our lovely Sandy possessed is that despite her
amazing talent, she appeared to be devoid of an ego. When singing, she was in fact giving up her songs...it is that lilting feel to her wonderful voice that at once captured the listeners, but no ego.......she shares the stars with us still. Beautiful woman. We shall be listening to you for many years my love how could we ever
Why is it you never hear folk music on the radio, ever..!? is it because it dosen't fit with somebody's idea of what people (should) listen to? or it isn't commercial enough, or what. It beats the shit out of Simon Cowells' crap anyday!
This song was played at my brother's funeral when me and his three sons carried his coffin into sutton crematorium. Where does the time go indeed......
@BillMinworth - have just made contact of late of some very good friends, and I was moved to listen to this, then I read your words. I hope your brother is listening, with a big smile on his face, and feels like a few jigs, as this music should put him in the mood for a good music Sunday. Both you and he are in my thoughts today, and I shall raise my Sunday pint in yours and his name. Who knows where the time goes.......................

Sandy Denny was an exceptional vocalist with a touch of Judy Collins and really inventive.Who knows where the time goes is a cover of a Judy Collins song although I am not sure whether the group or Judy penned it.

26 Sandy Denny The young classically trained pianist Denny threw herself into the London folk scene while working as a nurse at Brompton Hospital. She went on to write songs immersed in imagery that would have graced a Pre-Raphaelite painting, delivered in a voice as clear as a mountain lake.

It may just be me but this is not totally like the vibe on some of the tracks on the Beatles Abbey Road and this was released before that album. Who were the real innovators?

I - SO - LOVED this song by Judy Collins- I had NO idea this was originally by Sandy Denny - thank you for educating me. God Bless Sandy DeNny - what a WONDERFUL, PURE VOICE... a true "GENERATION LOST" BUT GLAD I WAS (SORTA) THERE!!!!

I've lisented to about 5 tracks of Sandy from my play list so far

Got the v.late 1960s & early 1970s albums... but vinyl LPs are mainly consigned to the loft here! I respect your "top comments". By 100yds, I also dwell in Sutton, not Croydon.... but seek no crematorium placement? I now learn that Sandy Denny has "passed on". It was a struggle to get my own wife out of The Royal Marsden Hospital... but I did laugh to discover her ward doctor to be one taught Biology by me @ school. Maybe we all do some good things?
The validity of the track is unquestionable!

@lorrimang Sandy Denny wrote this when she was with Fairport Convention. Great sixties band. She died as the result of a fall in 1978 As far who posted this song; I wouldn't know. Enjoy. Beth

Sandy is singing via You Tube archive today. This lovely woman is being
blessed by the angels. Her voice is still very much up there in the sky somewhere. She possessed no ego, sang at a time when society was becoming materialistic and cynical. She was so genuine, that it almost even today (as I post this comment), makes me cry. I feel sorry for all music lovers who missed out on such a lovely spirit as Sandy Denny. She is a the sparkling jewel in a wondrous sky.

One of the wonderful qualities that our lovely Sandy possessed is that despite her
amazing talent, she appeared to be devoid of an ego. When singing, she was in fact giving up her songs...it is that lilting feel to her wonderful voice that at once captured the listeners, but no ego.......she shares the stars with us still. Beautiful woman. We shall be listening to you for many years my love how could we ever
forget you.

What I love so much about this album version is how Richard's guitar fills just perfectly interplay with Sandy's heartbreakingly beautiful vocals.

Why is it you never hear folk music on the radio, ever..!? is it because it dosen't fit with somebody's idea of what people (should) listen to? or it isn't commercial enough, or what. It beats the shit out of Simon Cowells' crap anyday!

@BillMinworth - have just made contact of late of some very good friends, and I was moved to listen to this, then I read your words. I hope your brother is listening, with a big smile on his face, and feels like a few jigs, as this music should put him in the mood for a good music Sunday. Both you and he are in my thoughts today, and I shall raise my Sunday pint in yours and his name. Who knows where the time goes.......................
