This goes way beyond a song, the delivery is like an oscar winning film, never been so taken in by a song and performance, spellbinding from start to finish!!!
Love Adam Holmes and love this song. I have seen him a couple of times at The Witham at Barnard Castle. These voices blend perfectly. I haven't heard of this lady but she has a beautiful voice
My daughter and I attended this concert primarily to see Laura Marling. It was an unexpected bonus to see one of our favourite singers Cara Dillon accompanied by husband Sam Lakeman perform a couple of songs too. Rachel Sermanni was the surprise package for me as I was unaware of her and Adam Holmes at the time. They also performed a rendition of her song Banks are Broken which I enjoyed so much that I subsequently bought the album it appears on, which is Tied to the Moon. An enjoyable night out.
Aah the surprises of a live concert!! I am looking forward to Adam on Thursday and who knows where that will go musically. I came to learn of the music of Hannah Fisher and Sorren MacLean because they supported Dougie MacLean at a concert in Findhorn...
I said hello to Rachel at a local festival a few years ago. She was very good, and seemed astonished that anyone would want to buy one of her CDs. Take more CDs to festivals with you, Rachel!
4:28 ... her eyes.... oh her eyes... they always make me fall in love... there are so few artist ho can make me feel like Rachel does... but of all them, she is the one that would be glad for just see... If I was deaf, I would still be able to love her performing...
I was four First I heard a man could leave and not return without a warning Saw the signs Read the lines between the pages of the paper in the morning Oh my god, oh my god I'm going to die when I get old and I'm not ready Oh my god, oh my god I'm going to die when I get old and I'm not ready Twenty one Given armor and a gun, sent away to man the trenches Bullets flying Heard a cry as I awoke and started coming to my senses Oh my god, oh my god I'm going to die when I get old and I'm not ready Oh my god, oh my god I'm going to die when I get old and I'm not ready I was four First heard a man could leave and not return without a warning Mamma said One day bed will be a long and restful sleep that brings no warning Oh my god, oh my god I'm going to die when I get old and I'm not ready Oh my god, oh my god I'm going to die when I get old and I'm not ready I'm going to die when I get old and I'm not ready
I - vi - IV - V in any key you like...C - Am - F - G or G - Em - C - D etc they are diatonic chords (which many rock and folk songs are) if you learn this then the system is simple....I - ii - iii - IV - V - vi - Vii - I
If you buy Chord pickout mate you can stick the mp3 in , and it gives you basic chord structure and playability of the mp3 so you can see the wave forms etc etc..Well useful for cheeky wee attempts in the house.Probably be pushed to find it though as Adams stuff is all protected......always by ear lol

It's like 'Hallelujah'. It's as good as 'Grace'. It's that good. Oh my GOD.
Found this song while scrolling. Been married to my beautiful Scottish wife for 32 years. So unbelievably beautiful.
Outstanding Adam I’ve loved looking back on your life from where you started to now , I am truly blown away ❤

"My daughter and I" 👌
One of the best songs I’ve ever heard. No buts. 😢
Absolute magic - I could listen to this every day of the rest of my life and always find new nuances 💕
That's it, that's it! You'd probably like 'The Civil Wars' too x
two of my favorite artists together
A thing of great beauty.
Just stunning.
Rachel has such a Pretty voice. Nice song writer too. And she plays a great guitar.

Wonderful!
I was four
First I heard a man could leave and not return without a warning
Saw the signs
Read the lines between the pages of the paper in the morning
Oh my god, oh my god
I'm going to die when I get old and I'm not ready
Oh my god, oh my god
I'm going to die when I get old and I'm not ready
Twenty one
Given armor and a gun, sent away to man the trenches
Bullets flying
Heard a cry as I awoke and started coming to my senses
Oh my god, oh my god
I'm going to die when I get old and I'm not ready
Oh my god, oh my god
I'm going to die when I get old and I'm not ready
I was four
First heard a man could leave and not return without a warning
Mamma said
One day bed will be a long and restful sleep that brings no warning
Oh my god, oh my god
I'm going to die when I get old and I'm not ready
Oh my god, oh my god
I'm going to die when I get old and I'm not ready
I'm going to die when I get old and I'm not ready
Yes indeed - thanks a lot, Oor Wullie
I think it's "man" the trenches Billy
Beautiful
OMG 😭 ♥️
Beautiful Adam! Lovely voices.
Reminiscent of John and Beverlyn Martyn. Absolutely fantastic
100%! amazing
Reminds of early Joni Mitchell....what a talent!
Always stops me in my tracks ❤
Check out Rachel's cover of church street blues......perfect
Someone have the chords or even the lyrics for this song?
yes, I do.
Yep, something like C, Am, F, C, G....(and the last C and G are turned around on the chorus) obviously he's using a capo in this video.
You can see the chords from watching this video and tbh they are very straightforward.....just google the lyrics
I - vi - IV - V in any key you like...C - Am - F - G or G - Em - C - D etc they are diatonic chords (which many rock and folk songs are) if you learn this then the system is simple....I - ii - iii - IV - V - vi - Vii - I

Great live version 👏
