Probably the most beautiful song ever recorded. Ronnie's bass and Kenney's bass drum are locked in tight. Kenney's drum and cymbal sound is remarkable as are his fills. The guitars are perfect, The flute solo is dream like and full of hope. The ending with the harmonica is so original . And then we come to Steve's vocal performance,; vulnerable, innocent , a man truly in love with his wife. Steve Marriott sings from his soul. The greatest singer in the English speaking world, bar none.
halcyon289 that is a very nice, and very accurate description of this song..and group...love this song. very nice melody and rhythm, and the lyrics are sung with heavy, soulful, meaning...love the flute solo also....fits perfectly in this tune.....one of the most beautiful, and underrated songs ever....rest in peace ronnie and steve.
Steve kept it real his whole life. Despite what many say, he was NOT underrated but highly thought of and NOT forgotten as some have said, he is WELL remembered. Tragic loss for us all. RIP
Janet Tucker - I couldn't agree with you more - and I've read most of the comments posted here for this track, but yours stands out for me! Mr Marriott was pitch perfect in every note and every song he sung. I will have this track played at my funeral one day - it's just so beautiful!
Just seen your post. A year later....2020 and i'm still listening and watching. Have to get my Steve Marriott fix everyday. Absolutely such a talented guy....musician and vocalist and wow, such a cutie. Gone far too soon.
@@gravydavy4188 Same here,this is a beautiful song.I love their whole catalogue,but after Decca,they seemed to mature and expand on Immediate,and became a completely different band to the one that they were before,great as they were in the Decca days.
Breaks my heart this proper crying. As the three are gone Steve marriot, Ronnie lane. Ian mclagan only kenney Jones with us. Wish they could all come back this was real music and its lovely to see they had right fun in life and kept smilling xxx
One of my fave songs - beautiful and captivating. “Yesterday is dead, but not my memory.” It really shouldn’t be allowed for someone to sing a song so beautifully and emotionally charged. As for the music .... sheer brilliance.
No, you simply had to allow it to be written and recorded, and given to all of us , to inspire and uplift our hearts - or my life would have been all the poorer for this not to happen. Thankyou, Steve.
Nowhere in the world can touch British music in the 60s, most of the 70s, 80s or the 90s the 2000s are debatable and up to now in 2020 but nobody can deny the great influence these bands have had on music throughout the years and music fans are still listening to these classics everyday.. simply brilliant.
I was in the UK when Steve was playing acoustic shows at the Mean Fiddler, given this song and Red Balloon. I thought they’d be great. Sadly I didn’t go. Anyone go to one of these? Be very interested hear how good they were. Then I burnt my flat down, fell asleep boozed with a lit ciggie. I got out, but the smoke nearly got me. then he did the same thing and didn’t. Very eerie, but my life has been a lot like that.
My old man was born in Plaistow and got me right into this lot. Poor sod died 17th May 2018 and despite all their known hits, this was his favourite. RIP pop. X
R M - so sorry for your loss! My dad also got me into this and sadly he was only 45 when he passed away - 34 years ago! A year older than Steve Marriott was when he passed away but 6 years before him in 1985! God bless them both!
I still love Steve Marriott. Besides being good looking, he was an amazing guitarist and vocalist. I wish he had stayed with the Small Faces. Keep rock in the heavens Steve.
We saw Steve Marriott in Betws-y-Coed of all places about 20 years ago, utterly legend! We were the youngest there but knew all his stuff. It was like having a private performance, he even let us choose some of the tracks!!! This is my favourite.
This song is really beautiful, the musicianship is extraordinary, especially the flute solo, when it starts it sends shivers through you, very melancholic , and the vocalist, Mr M, untouchable in delivery and expression .
Never heard this before and heard it on Radio Caroline last night. What a gem. If Steve had stayed with us he probably would have gone back to acting, probably have been in Eastenders for the last 20 years......then he would have been doing gigs as well........what a talent.
I was nowhere Till you changed my mind Love is sent through being good to you Then you were somewhere Somewhere hard to find Only what you always were, it's true I'm looking for an open door Where I can sit, and play in peace with you Tomorrow changes Fields of green today Yesterday is dead, but not my memory We were strangers And then you came to stay The sweetest spring dawn morning sings to me So now I've found a living sound That moves, that breathes and then makes love to me
such a great song, so much of Wellers early solo stuff can be heard in this - great tune and the film well it makes you sad - they could be the inbetweeners ! Looks such a laugh, went to watch All or Nothing at the theatre a few months ago it was really good - closest I will get to seeing them.
Ronnie Lane, one of my bass heroes. I had to have an H-22 like his...54 years later and I still have it. Bassiest bass ever made. Amazing that it retailed in '65 for only $104.00!!
Ahaha love it mate !! Things like that wont ever depreciate in value either , looked after properly , they only get better and more expensive with the age to them !! I've always wanted a Hofner bass 🤓but I'm poor an only 35 so McCartney had already deffo ruined that for me before birth 😂 like Lennon an the Rickenbacker, and George with the Gretsch Jet .... Fkn hate it here , anyway here's wonderwall (played poorly on a child's SpongeBob yukele that was my price range ) 🤬🤬😂😂😂
@@han09hague You'll hate me for this but, I have a 500-1 Hofner bass I bought in 1968 and I acquired a Rickenbacker 4001 'Sgt. Pepper' bass in 1997. I won't mention my 325/12 Lennon re-issue....oops...just did :) Spongebob is my idol ;)
Tom Thumblittle someone I loved the bones of has died since I uploaded it , 10 months ago ... And alls I have to say is same mate , same 👌😓 ha thanks for commenting xx
so sorry for your loss love ..hope you'll be alright...and IF i was ever going to commemerate someone i love or loved this would be the song i would do it with...Much ♡♡♡♡ to you
lovethe world Both are my favourites too - Tin Soldier just a bit more so! I also love (If You Think You're) Groovy which Steve and Ronnie wrote for PP Arnold!
@@nigelwillmott6177 Indeed! "Black Coffee". "Stay With Me Baby" does it better than Janis Joplin! "Why Don't You Call Me" and of course "Itchycoo Park". Not to mention all of the other good ones! "Hot and Nasty", "Thirty Days In the Hole". A true rock n roll voice!
It still breaks my heart to think they split up while trying to record a album that this would have been from! It would have been one of the all time greats
Durante todos estos años de vida, no se donde, jamas les oí en la radio, nunca les escuche, siempre ausentes en mis oídos y siempre ausentes en lo que imperaba como son los de siempre: los Beatles y los Stones et al. Steve Marriot y compañia, ¡ Por Dios ! eran unos genios musicales y de composición. Que armonía y a la vez, dependiendo del tema a tocar, tan prendidos y tan chingones en su manera de exponer lo que saben hacer.
UTTER BRILLIANT MUSIC !!!! THEY SHOULD BE IN THE TOP TEN BANDS OF ALL TIME !!! If you as a listener haven’t heard them from Album one onwards .. OMG WHAT A TREAT YOU HAVE IN STORE ,,,,, AWESOME TALENT ,,,,, Gx
i was brought up in the fifties and this group did not get my attention but they have now .steve marriot .what a singer and a performer nowi can not stop playing these videos of them .shame he died the way he did god bless him those days had tallented musical players
A beautiful song that should have been a smash hit on boths sides of the ocean. It seems sad now because all but Kenny is gone and with them an era gone forever.
What strikes me is how amazing it is, that in such a short space of time Ronnie And Stevie we’re writing great songs like this. It took Lennon and McCartney a lot longer to deliver Rubber Soul and Revolver.
Anyone - and there have been a few - who says Steve Marriott couldn't sing and always shouted haven't listened to this! It's a beautiful song and so is his voice! I miss the Sixties!
Here on UA-cam there is a channel called Yesterday's Papers. They have reviews by the stars of the sixties of other music of the time. It is striking how often The Small Faces are called out as one of the three or four groups making original music, along with The Who and The Beatles (of course). I am just old enough to remember them on the radio. Not only great memories, but magical ones as well.

+halcyon289 Very insightful comments, great song so beautiful in it's simplicity.
If you haven't already Jack, have a listen to it with some ear/headphones on . Amazing.
Well said. You should check out" I've come back" by Maurice Gibb.. same kind of dreamy vibe.
Alan, Very pretty song with a slight psychedelic lean. I like how there's only harmony on the last word of the song, a perfect ending.

Yep...and the video of them together...so innocent and carefree...before the ravages of the 70s cocaine.

i met this tune over 25 years ago
and still love it now

A truly beautiful song
Never heard this before and heard it on Radio Caroline last night. What a gem. If Steve had stayed with us he probably would have gone back to acting, probably have been in Eastenders for the last 20 years......then he would have been doing gigs as well........what a talent.
This song is so beautiful. This band was amazing!
I was nowhere
Till you changed my mind
Love is sent through being good to you
Then you were somewhere
Somewhere hard to find
Only what you always were, it's true
I'm looking for an open door
Where I can sit, and play in peace with you
Tomorrow changes
Fields of green today
Yesterday is dead, but not my memory
We were strangers
And then you came to stay
The sweetest spring dawn morning sings to me
So now I've found a living sound
That moves, that breathes and then makes love to me
Thank you 👍
Thank You for the lovely lyrics.
Cheeers for the lyrics mate❤️
Thank you
Fuckin hell, thats beautiful

I think this is one of the best songs ever recorded.
Haunting ... voice, flute and then the drums beautiful
It's like looking back into a dream...
I agree.It seems to me like a retirement of an energetic band,who has found supreme contentment in a very mature look back at life
I know exactly what you mean 🏵️
I will always love and feel their tunes like no other band ✨ Like the theme to a dream.

Great song in great quality - Thanks for the upload.
Great sound. Very talented musicians. I have not enjoyed a band with such a tight great sound in a while.
Caroline Janso agree they were so tight as a band. Should have done more:..that's why it's so good I guess
beautiful ballad, can't get enough of it, listen to it everday

R.I.E.P Steve Marriott 🎸 Ronny Lane, Ian McLachlan and Jimmy Winston was truly gifted musicians
This is the most beautiful song. Ever.
Beautiful just beautiful and then you came to stay
Very clever use of that guitar in the intro. And throughout. Hypnotising.
Steve Marriott was not only the best singer of his generation; he is the best singer ever. Voice of an Angel.
Absolutely beautiful song
I wish i grew up in sixties and seventies, the music back then were the best.
SO BEAUTIFUL ♥️!
Amazing band, this tune stands up to anything the Beatles composed.
it stands head and shoulders above everything the ladybugs ever did.
Oh, no here we go again. It'll end in tears😥
Seriously? The Small Faces were good and talented but the Beatles?
Come on !!
This is a very creative song. All of the Beatles music was bubble gum pop.
Beatles were the Kings and its not even close
Goosebumps, what can I say more?
Beautiful ballad by Steve M. and Faces reminds me of Traffic. Aloha
