I've listened to Jeff Beck's cover of this many, many times over the years. How delighted I was to find Nitin Sawhney singing this. It is so ethereal.
I also been searching for this Nitin Sawney version of Nadia .This is a little too speeded & 21rst century though ...needs less cheap faux~drums , more sitar & tabla thats for sure . Now that i found it again , i might lose it .
naida is the name of my girlfriend that i had left in morocco before i came to london this song is so spirituel it makes me shed them and its hard for me
Thanks to Jeff Beck for his interpretation of Nadia and finding out about these wonderful musicians. I may not understand a word from the song but the music says it all. Stunning.
I guess the meaning is that my lover is calling me on the other side of the river bank and the damn river is coming in between two lovers... amazing lyrics
I love the entire album, but this song is a particular gem by itself. I also love the Jeff Beck instrumental version of this number, which, unbelievably, is more riveting/soulful because Beck skips the beats and distills the core, the melancholy and the airy soulfulness, into a guitar's voice.
I first heard this song many years ago........I was alot younger and i would lay in bed- lights off and just drift away to this amazingly beautiful song.......
Jeff Beck.

thumbs up if you came here after listening to Shankar Tucker's rendition, I feel this is much better. However, Shankar has done well as well.

I still listen to this whenever I feel stressed or sad. It rates for me alongside Nick Drake and others for intelligent comfort music.
