They take my time without question And fill my days with all their emptiness And in their drawing rooms they beg my sympathy But if I weep to solve their silent misery They save my tears to sell for silver. The neighbours trespass on my highway And feed my lambs on every pavement corner And with their grief inside they're hiding from the rain But if my sun should shine too loudly on their woe They catch its beam to sell for gold. They have me captured in their city In every living room my dust has laid me low And well I know the brown earth will be my best friend And when I'm gone they'll find another way to mend They'll sell my silversong for tears
Absolutely brilliant! Mellow Candle along with Tudor Lodge and Comus were the best folk-rock acts you'd ever hear. Too bad folk has lost its spirit and "singer/songwriting" is the new shit now.
I have the Trees. Not heard the other. Will check it out. I'm a mailman, so I listen to tunes all day. Not this one though. This nor Jane Delawney are mail route tunes.
One of the best from Mellow Candle. Melancholy magic!
Magical Mellow Candle. Ears are melting :))
Really great. Prolly my favorite song on the album.
They take my time without question
And fill my days with all their emptiness
And in their drawing rooms they beg my sympathy
But if I weep to solve their silent misery
They save my tears to sell for silver.
The neighbours trespass on my highway
And feed my lambs on every pavement corner
And with their grief inside they're hiding from the rain
But if my sun should shine too loudly on their woe
They catch its beam to sell for gold.
They have me captured in their city
In every living room my dust has laid me low
And well I know the brown earth will be my best friend
And when I'm gone they'll find another way to mend
They'll sell my silversong for tears

I would add The Fool to your list. Also, does the song "Secret Temple" merit The Incredible String Band a place there?
Also Trader Horne close ☺
Don't forget about the brilliant Acid folk masterpiece Mice and Rats in the Loft bij Jan Dukes De Grey.
슬퍼지네요~

If you dig this, you should also check out Trees "The Garden of Jane Delawney" also Anonymous "Shadow Lay"

Shadow Lay is a great song.
I like both songs. You know good music bro
Great recommendations! I've never heard of Anonymous. So much music I find in comment sections because they're not on my streaming platforms.
Check out en minor. Phil anselmo's band. This is beautiful. Truly. Gorgeous song

This song is about the profiteers, penny pinchers, gold diggers and all the other miserable ones... 💲💰🤑
