It's not an Unthanks written song. Originally written mid 70s by Gordon Bok. Many great covers over the years including my favourite sung by The Keelers of which George Unthank is a member.
In a word... Boring! Repetitive, unadventurous and without any discernable melody at all. It seems that the Unthanks are well and truly past their best. First, the patchy and insipid "Sorrows Away" album, then "Dear Companions " lazily using a tune known much better as a hymn, where their use if it has none of the spark or emotion of any of the hymn versions. And now this dirge. Disappointing.
The album is wonderful and I'm looking forward to seeing it performed next week. But, call me greedy, isnt it going to be a rather short show at 70 minutes? Are any other songs performed other than album?
Takes me back to the sounds of Fairport Convention and the Pentangle ......beautiful .
I just watched you at Birmingham town hall. I can't thank you enough, you're a memory I'll treasure for a long time.
I’ve only just discovered The Unthanks through Mount The Air, and I’m so pleased I have. Stunning, beautiful music.
Thanks R x
Jeez that was beautiful. I loved those heartwarming harmonies!
I recognise this from a singing weekend, hauntingly beautiful x
Yes, It started life at our singing weekends. R x
It's stunning, well done Unthanks!
Fantastic gig in Liberty Hall last night. A night to remember!! Early Christmas for everyone there.
Glad you enjoyed the show. 😊 How long was it?
Is it possible to be melancholy and satisfied at the same time? The Unthanks seem to make the unlikely the most natural thing in the world 😍
Big up the Unthanks
Beautiful! Looking forward to the Glasgow show next weekend.

Great song. I always wondered how you came to write the song about the Bay of Fundy. Did you get inspired by a visit?
