  • From harpsichord to harp. On hearing of the passing of Dave Greenfield I was inspired to put some time into this song. It's haunting beauty really struck me as a child and I used to think of it as 'the ship song' and thought it was about some kind of ocean adventure. Then learning of it's actual more sombre meaning later in life it took on a whole new level of aching sadness. I love Dave Greenfield's clever and utterly unique keyboard parts and I really think this song lit up the musical parts of my brain early on and made a big impact. Here's my humble tribute to it.

      The one by the Stranglers makes me cry because the words and what I feel they mean, but this is the only other version that has moved me so, and I honestly do not know my favorite....

    From the heavens she hails
    The harpist of Nottinghamshire
    To her music does my mind sail,
    To lands of blissful pleasure
    Be blessed muse, child of Apollo
    In your magic does my soul find solace
    In your music do I drown my sorrow
    Oh fair lady, You make the world feel like a better place...

    It is anyway a brilliant song but through the hands of Christine it goes beyond imagination. I've been listening at this music so many times and every time (just like the last) I'm dreaming of that same dream which I can't explain yet it makes me so happy. And as a sentimental person, here is my wish for Christine. I wish God bless these hands and let them make the whole world happy in the same way you make me happy. Keep on creating and take care. 🏵

  • @greyone40

    I also early on associated this song with boats/sailing. Of course it was the beautiful tune, harmonies and instrumentation that I loved first, regardless of lyrics.
    There was an article in Woodenboat magazine about most popular yacht names around that time, and Golden Brown was at the top one year. At the time I had known the heroin reference, so I wondered to myself how many of these people used the name knowing that, and how many didn't. Owning a yacht has been described as like standing in a cold shower tearing up $100 bills, or another good one is "a yacht is a hole in the water where you throw in money."
    Oh yeah, this is a beautiful rendition. Thank you.
