The BEST THERE IS! No one is as good as Bert...A Whole Lotta Soul and a great picker as well as song-writer and a great voice as well..We all miss him and LOVED seeing him live here in S.F. at The Great American Music Hall with or without The Pentangle...My only gripe is why don't we get to hear music this lovely and beautiful on regular FM Radio...Neil Young LOVED Bert...Hendrix too...R.I.P. Brilliant Man
Many thanks for this lovely live version, must have lived every word. Nice cover by his son Adam on 'People on the Highway' I think, well worth a listen.
And here are the lyrics God bless! Far sounds of the day So beautiful to hear In the clear bright sunlight they come flooding Crystal clear voices so happy in the street Oh, the new day beginning is on air My restless heart is never still Turning and tossing through the night Thoughts are running wild in confusion People and places are jumble in my mind Oh, the new day beginning is on air Morning brings peace of mind And the birds are singing in the air Gone all the nightmares, they're running And the fear of the darkness has vanished with the light Oh, the new day beginning is on air Yeah, the new day beginning is young and fair
lulubicus lupus Good job. Some minor edits that I think are right: "FIRST sounds of the day" (the day is 'beginning') "The new day beginning is SO NEAR". "Thoughts running wild" (no 'are') "NOW morning brings peace of mind" (after a restless night, a new day allows the narrator to see things afresh) "Gone ARE the nightmares" (sounds like 'are'!)
I can't watch this with out tearing up! I miss seeing him come around so much.
Agreed. Impossible to watch without tears.
I sometimes feel sadness seeing Bert and hearing his music too. Great musician. 👍
Another legend, a great Scottish singer/songwriter!

And here are the lyrics
God bless!
Far sounds of the day
So beautiful to hear
In the clear bright sunlight they come flooding
Crystal clear voices so happy in the street
Oh, the new day beginning is on air
My restless heart is never still
Turning and tossing through the night
Thoughts are running wild in confusion
People and places are jumble in my mind
Oh, the new day beginning is on air
Morning brings peace of mind
And the birds are singing in the air
Gone all the nightmares, they're running
And the fear of the darkness has vanished with the light
Oh, the new day beginning is on air
Yeah, the new day beginning is young and fair

Love you Bert x beautiful x watch over us my friend x

Love u Bert. Sorry I just know you
I like Bert Jansch but the singing on this live version is (sorry!) atrocious; not helped either by a poor sound system.
Hey idiot!! He had advanced lung cancer!!!
