Original version better than Morcheeba's one... and thanks to her for having introduce me to John Martyn whom I didn't know. Sorry ! I love the melody of the guitar in this song as well as the stamp of his voice. Perfect harmony. Shame he left us.
PS: Thanks to Zenatural and do not hesitate to share more work on you tube. I wanna buy an album, what do you think about "Grace and Danger" or do you recommend "London Conversation"...
@UtubKarine They are both great albums. London conversation is just Johns wonderful folky acoustic guitar with superb songs and vocal. Grace and danger has an altogether differant vibe...johnny too bad and sweet little mystery. The only thing to do is to get both albums and you won't be disappointed ! :)
I have heard Morcheeba's cover version of this song, and I only recently found out about the original. And yet, the original touches me more than the cover. Beautiful work.
Hey, Steve, very nice video. I like the effects on the walk; they give it a haunting quality, like the voice. I also love that rolling, meandering, loping guitar that I first heard from Bert Jansch on things like "Ring-a-ding Bird" or "Harvest Your Thoughts of Love" back in '64 or so. Of course, John has that lighter, sprightlier touch, but it still has that lovely Davy Graham-inspired, British guitar feel. Thanks for keeping us posted in so many different venues on so many styles!
@TimMcMullen thanks Tim..The 60s was a golden age for British acoustic guitar and is still a huge inspiration. Johns album London Conservation is full of great songs and guitar playing.
I don't think I've ever seen a level crossing where people are trusted to cross where cars aren't.....Nice to have John Martyn to see me across.Good one Steve
Possibly the worst video ever in response the the best song ever.

Beautiful song!!!! Luvlly vidio but thought the"all you can eat" fast food advertising that poped up was massively out of place.

Morcheeba's cover made me want to find this - the original. And wow...both are just excellent.
