Love the mood and feel of this song - very reminiscent of the music on HM's first LP in 1970. That's been a favourite ever since it was first released. When I sold a lot of my old vinyl some years ago, that was one of the collection that just had to be kept. You do hear quite a bit of their later music, but not too much from that first wonderful set of songs.
Saw them at the Egremont folk club in Cumbria during the early 1970s. A great night. This track still evokes strong emotions now. I still have the album.
"Mr Hiscock" (the writer, singer and member of HM) became an English teacher and was the best teacher I ever had.... great guy. It was 1983 and during a General Studies lesson he played us his band's album and invited us to critique it... we didn't realise until at the end he confessed it was him... I was privileged!
I am glad that you felt privileged Mark and that you posted your comment. I had never heard of this band till a few minutes ago. There are so many bands, people, things that the vast majority of us never hear of and/or never encounter. A lot of the time I don't think we even know we have encountered it/them ... or whatever. When we do though - we don't forget.
I love this, and the album it came from. I saw this band in the 70s in Norfolk.
One of my favourite songs ever. Will be played at my funeral.
Classic song from a brilliant album and one I love to play and sing. Thanks for the post

Used to play this back in the early 80s with a friend of mine - 2 harmony guitars. Beautfiul song.
