I just can't believe what I'm looking at and listening to. I thought Sandy Denny was the first and last great female folk singer, but now I know there are other wonderful people still out there in this world and these times.
In this era she produced a song called En Gallop - it begins : This place is damp and ghostly I am already gone And the halls were lined with the disembodied And the dustly wings, which fell from flesh Gasplessly and ends : Never get so attached to a poem You forget truth that lacks lyricism Never draw so close to the heat That you forget that you must eat, oh Been a fan ever since.
What is striking is the variation in her vocals from soft to loud, high to low, and sharp to flat all with an effortless flow and pitch perfect. Beyond belief for someone her age...
I often feel like I'm missing out on a lot of nuance in her lyrics, since english isn't my native language and her turns of phrase are so unique but full of references. I read this song is about a rejection she experienced, and that there are several mentions of a conflict between agency and desire. This somewhat seems to open up the image of the 'machines [that] are dropped from great heights, lovingly' for me, in contrast with the previous line about the dragons. Still. I so often wish I would understand her more intuitively. I love her music so much.
I remember watching this on TV then watching again about a million times here on You Tube and then forgot about until it suddenly popped into my head. Instantly brought back memories.
Mid-2000's was underrated. Full stop. We didn't know what we had
omg I was literally just thinking this as I was going through my nostalgia playlist 😭
@@akiregarde It's hard to watch sometimes, to be honest 🥺

This song has one of the most beautiful verses I've ever heard: "There are some mornings when the sky looks like a road."

This place is damp and ghostly
I am already gone
And the halls were lined with the disembodied
And the dustly wings, which fell from flesh
Gasplessly
and ends :
Never get so attached to a poem
You forget truth that lacks lyricism
Never draw so close to the heat
That you forget that you must eat, oh
Been a fan ever since.
Her album “Y’s” is legendary
Her voice sounds like soft sadness mixed with uncontrollable sobs in this song....like I don’t know if that makes sense but goddamn I cry every time.
I played this on guitar for my dad when his mother died winter of ‘06
She is odd, bizarre, unearthly and unique. Love.

Young people write the best songs and poems.
One of my favourite live performances that I keep returning to on CZcams. Sublime.
Watched it live on the show and knew fully well it was very special. Hi from Dublin
Download it before BBC get it's filthy hands on it and deletes it!
This song is the definition of heart wrenching. Achingly beautiful.
I will never not sob every time I hear this song
haven't listened to her for a long while ... and now, tears
her vocals here are incredible! maybe I'm overexposed but I truly don't understand those who dislike them.
Even the camera work is amazing, it's all one shot, and they pan to the other musicians just as they enter in the song. I love this clip!!
Amazing, definitely.
One of very songs that can make me tear up every time.

Just beautiful.
My favorite performance of ever and ever. Hope I hear this as I fade away.

Thanks for putting this up in HD. Spellbinding.
I THINK YOU MEAN THE BEST, NOT JUST INCREDIBLY SPECIAL, EXCUUUUSE MEEE !!!

Every musician in the room asking themselves why they even bother doing it when she has perfected it already.

it’s an absolute unforgiving crime that her music is not on Spotify.

Why he say it twice?
Why he said it twice tho
What is the other guy playing? It has eight strings but it doesn't sound like a mandolin...
I believe Ryan Francesconi plays on a Bulgarian tambura.
Awesome! Thanks!
Very nice. Who's the boy who sings?
Six(!) years late but that's Neal Morgan :)
So complex
sometimes I wish she wouldn't affect the way she sings that weird way when she performs live
