    This is such an underrated version. The video is spot on as that is actually the Ullswater, Kirkstone pass, and Windermere, and the voice... my goodness its a shame modern music seems to ignore the deeper ranges of men's voices, this was beautifully done.

    Sweet, direct, powerful, delightfully simple, almost naive and well anchored to the land. A great unpretentious performance.

    What a grand cover of a fine song - probably Archie's finest. Fell in love with it when I first heard Stan's cover (and Stan did not cover many) and that led me to Archie those many years back. The video is great too - adds some good context.
    Thanks for sharing.

    @colddrake80 13 років тому +1

    Thanks for the video. You have a very strong voice well suited to this song. Though I get a feeling it could have been warmer. The heavy wool sweater, vest, and (goretex?) parka kind of hinted at that.

      I think not. She was a witch and so could perform magic. She simply changed form to a woman. I don't think she would have "stood in a gown of velvet blue" while still in the form of a Centauride (female centaur, pronounced "Kentauride"). That would have been tacky. 😁
