Such a rich rabbit-hole, should you choose to continue with Lindisfarne. Other suggestions i'd make are 'Winter Song', 'Meet Me On The Corner', 'Clear White Light', 'Run For Home', 'All Fall Down', 'Scarecrow Song', 'Fog On The Tyne', 'We Can Swing Together', or 'Taking Care Of Business'.
Listen to Alan Hull's incredible solo album Pipedream. All fantastic songs sung with such emotion. Such a loss to the world. RIP.
Not heard this in years, such a great song from an underrated band that like Jethro Tull skirted the rock folk boundaries brilliantly
Remember drunkenly singing this on my way home from a gig. Must be all of 50 years ago.
Alan Hull the composer, read a book by Edgar Allen Poe as hus influence to this song. It tot to number 3 in rhe UK charts in 1972
I LOVE your reactions sir and the fact you listen to the song from start to finish. If only DJs did the same......
One of their later songs "Running For Home" is easily one of the catchiest things I have heard in 50 years of music.

Kind of a re-telling of the Edgar Allan Poe story, "The Fall of The House Of Usher".
