  • The first time I heard this, I was listening to the radio in my pickup, on the way to retrieve materials for a cabin I was repairing for a customer. I pulled off the road into an abandoned church driveway and listened, knocked on my butt, it was so good. It was my introduction to Fairport Convention. Thanks for posting this.

  • No worries, nice storey :)

  • Sandy Denny one of the best folk singers ever. I have been a Fairport fan since about 1970 and having spent 45 years at sea travelling all over this lovely planet, this song means so much to me. Great.

  • laying in bed with my new girlfriend after a frantic session, the first time i heard this, never looked back with them or her. xxxxxx

  • Probably the best Fairport song ever

  • best song ever, always reminds me of my mum for some reason. it sort of is/was my mum and her life in one brilliant song.

  • always loved the way Lamble brings up the drums - just ace!

  • @earthangel1936 Thanks for the kind words, glad you felt the same awe. The only other time I had to pull off and listen was when I heard (for the first time) Tori Amos sing "Me and a Gun". Sometimes a person has to stand still and hear.

  • @nailswood ,hi just read your comments stopping in a layby to listen to fairport convention, i think thats brilliant cos i  did the same thing when i heard the song... but hey just thought i d tell you that. cheers ..................

  • The late Martin Lamble on drums, just great...

  • @oplbgtfdesv654bvtgrf -just wanted to say ditto on the picture. Very lovely peaceful song and the pic goes nicely.

  • arguably the greatest song ever witten...certainly my desert island disc
