Persuasion - Richard & Teddy Thompson

Kudos for posting this song. I think it's one of the finest things I've heard in the last ten years.

I love this tune. I believe it first appeared as an instrumental on Sweet Talker. This is a great version but as long as you're on youtube, click on the scottish TV 99 version. Astounding.

bomagosh, Ironically enoough joni36 and I posted our videos on the exact same day over two years ago. I posted mine because I wanted people to hear this great song and it wasn't on YT at the time.
I didn't find out about joni36's scottish TV 99 version until sometime later.

BTW I happen to like the live performance video as well!

Thank you!!!!

This just gets more amazing everytime I listen to it. Such beautiful voices , music, and lyrics.

Just realised why this song reminded me so much of Crowded House songs. Tim Finn, brother of Neil Finn had some input into it. So who actually wrote it , Tim Finn, or Richard Thompson, or both?

I believe Richard wrote the music and Tim wrote the lyrics.

Thanks so much for letting me know. Is it available on cd, anywhere?? I'm addicted to it! Best Wishes, Thia.

It's on Richard's "Action Packed the best of the capital years" (you can see the cover @ 00:16 in the video.)
I think I bought mine from Amazon.

Thanks so much!
