- Another Day Roy Harper - From the vaults of the ILEA 1972 - My favourite song of his. Beautiful and sad...Probably, his best live performance of this song. My favourite of his.
That performance is so stripped down and so absolutely beautiful as a result.
This is the only song I've ever cried to and it affects me every time that I sit and listen intently to it. My eyes are watering now as I write this.
Totally sublime lyricism. Words crafted to absolute perfection. This simple, heartfelt performance displays them so perfectly.
It is a great song! This performance, in particular...
Hats off to him.🎉
ha ha...
I'll never get over how beautiful this song is.
Couldn't agree more.
yes, you are correct!
Carry that for life.
This inspired me to pick up my acoustic guitar this morning. Such beauty and simplicity in melody bolstered by tremendous poetic lyrics. Awesome.
Spent a lifetime trying to write a song like that. Sadly realise I can’t. He’s one of a kind.
It really hits now as it brings back memories of lost loves from years ago. Youth is wasted on the young.
"I loved you a long time ago, you know
Where the wind's own Forget-me-nots blow
But I just couldn't let myself go
Not knowing what on earth there was to know".
It is beautifully sad...
Incredible!!
Agreed.
I have had a one woman Roy Harper festival in my house in Cheshire this weekend .lol.Had a Daevid Allen & Gong fest during the summer solstice last week 🌞
Sorry for the late response! I hope your festival went well and if you have one on another day let me know...
The ex-boyfriend that introduced me to this song and to Roy Harper, whom I knew since we were 5 years old, was recently found dead in his home, and this song pops up to remind me of happy sunny days many years ago, and how we shall not meet again. Love you Min xxx
Even sad songs can sometimes have happy associations...
@@NickBloomfield the sad meaning now takes over ...and the happy days are gone
You dont think so much about the meaning of songs when youre young and caught up in a romance. When you are old and lonely the resonance changes. RoyHarpers genius was that he knew that as a young man too
Believe that you will meet again.
Every time I hear the album, The James Gang Rides Again, I'm reminded of one woman and one idyllic summer in my youth in the early '70's. I'll carry that to my grave. Music and memories and love do not die, they live on.
So much influence here. You can hear Ian Anderson carrying his torch into prog rocks future.
It is so good.
I loved this song the moment I heard it on Flat Broke ...
I think you've been hit by spell check but Flat, Baroque and Berserk was a classic album! I still listen to it from time to time...I was flat broke then too...
One of the best songs ever made, so beautyful!
Totally agree.
Possibly the best ever.
I heard this tune & Roy Harper with my college friends
first summer 71??
the vid in my head they are all smiling ✌
pass the rizlas
❤
I still remember the first time I ever heard it with a group friends and it was a similar experience...
There are very few songs which compel me to lift up the needle and play them again, over and over. This is one of them. I love his comment on this version - "This is a song about a split second". A moment in time. May we all relive that moment in perpetuity.
I'm equally besotted with this song. I've always loved the record but there is something magical about this performance and, yes, I do play it quite frequently...
It's so poetic and beautiful, but I couldn't tell what he was talking about at first. 😂
Hats off to Roy Harper.
Indeed! I saw what you did there...
Zeppelin man
Roy's rhythmic style is so hard to replicate. Still don't know how he does it. I didn't appreciate this song enough when I was a young Harper fan, even though Flat Baroque was my favourite album. Just didn't understand what he was saying back then. Suppose you don't reflect on missed opportunities much when you're 15 :).
Flat, Baroque and Berserk is my favourite Roy Harper album and this my favourite song. He certainly had some magic.
A terrific vocal performance from Roy here, perfectly measured
So agree!
I've shared with several old friends 👌
It is still the best version that I've ever found.
One of my.fav Roy Harper songs
and mine.
damn, he's handsome and talented......
Very talented.
stunning - simply stunning . Thanks Roy
Glad you enjoyed it.
Great guitarist and singer
absolutely!
Brilliant! I've been searching for Roys best live performance of this amazing song, and I think this is it. Thank you.
I agree. It’s my favourite if his and this was his best performance.
RIP the ILEA, 1965-1990.
Agreed.
I play this with only two chords Cmaj 7 and Fmaj7 and it works so well....its beautifully simple.
Sounds interesting I may give it a try.
he had beautiful guitars too back then
He certainly played them well.
Love it a lot.
There's a lot to love.
thanks
You're welcome Jon.
ILEA - Inner London Education Authority. 👍
Correct.
Brilliant. Thanks for posting.
I was just so happy to find it!
Love
It is a wonderful song.
Beautiful x
Yes.
Ah, This Mortal Coil. Now i know the author.
He is a great writer...
Thanks for uploading this
I love it too!
Absolutely Beautiful. On parr with Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah.
Absolutely!
Better than Hallelujah by far - more nuanced in my view.
It's a toss up for me, between, this song, South Africa, and Commune.
Really splendid find, mate.
Thanks! For me this is far and away his best but then we are all different - thank goodness.
🥲
It is so good.
Is there a more beautiful song ? What an era....Roy...Pink Floyd....and then it all faded with punk and the 80s ( worst decade for music ever....Not one decent band..
It's definitely one of the most beautiful songs ever...
I have to disagree with you there lol.
Lmao because punk only just became a thing in the 80s, never existed before that huh
Brilliant song, although Peter Gabriel/Kate Bush version is amazing
