- Thanks to my friend Jenny for introducing me to this song, and Kelly for encouraging me to play it. This arrangement is based off the Nina Simone version from her 1970 live album "Black Gold." This tune has been covered by many other people, perhaps most notably Judy Collins, who in fact was the first to release a recording of it.
Shout out to my friend Chase Eagleson as well for showing me the value of a well-sung, well-lit, verbed-out ballad. Chase's channel: / @chaseeaglesonofficial

I just turned 70 this last March. I was married to a magnificent woman for 37 years and she was not only my wife but over the years she became my best friend. I recently lost her and I held her hand as she died.
I didn’t know what direction to turn. My wife and I watched a lot of Josh’s videos and We really enjoyed them.
I liked them so much I decided to take up the guitar. I know that I’m just learning but I am absolutely horrible and watching his videos either encourages me to try harder or depresses the hell out of me and discourages me with the idea that I’ll never be half as good as he is.
I’ve always enjoyed his singing but…… This song absolutely tugs at my heart strings! I know that “The love of my life/my best friend“ my beloved wife of 37 years would absolutely love to hear “Who Knows Where the Time Goes.“🌹🌹💕❤️💞
Keep playing mate. Every strum you get a little bit better. I hope you get as much out of the guitar as I do.
Frank Carrio frank I too am 70 and boy your post just nailed it as you spoke so lovingly about the loss of your best friend. I’m sure she’s cheering your guitar playing, keep going you can do it, after all like me your only a young man...I wish 😀
Your post here hit me straight in the heart. I hope you´re mending well, and that the guitar gives you new goals. This is a fair tune to learn after mastering open/barré-chords and some strumming techniques. You don´t have to include the harder parts at first, just incorporate them when you master them. I started playing 6 years ago, when I was 26. I tell people that it´s literally NEVER too late to start playing an instrument. My father just bought a drumkit (he is 70 as well). Trust me, it´s about consistency (play every day if you can, even 15 minutes is enough), wanting to learn new tunes and enjoying your new skill on a creative level. If you want a few tips on where to go if you are stuck just let me know :)
Wish you the very best.
Greetings from Norway
and 'we' all miss Sandy Denny like it was yesterday . . .
Lovely post Frank, thank you. You have a few years on me, but I am still with my wife of 37 years and your post along with this song gave me a rich solace with a sprinkling of sweet sorrow, and there is where the heart follows.
Josh chooses to record a cover of a song written more than 50 years ago and crushes it. Tomorrow he posts an original tune written two months ago. Next week he puts up a classical guitar piece. Next month he and Carson do a cover of a Waylon Jennings tune. A couple of weeks later he joins Reina and Toni on a Reina original. Such diversity, honesty, purity and overall superior audio and video quality - it never ceases to amaze me but at the same time it is what we have come to expect from this gifted young man and his circle of admirably talented friends and acquaintances. Thank you, Josh. Thank you.
I agree
Took the words right out of my mouth. We never know what Josh is gonna post next but we know without a doubt it will be superb and masterful.
YES!!! Simply YES!!!
Yes, fantastic as always!
Josh is so much more than another hot shot guitar player. he`s truly in a league of his own
Josh, since I’ve known you forever, I’ve always known that your voice is beyond incredible, but I wasn’t sure if you would ever know it. It seems that finally you do too & now the whole world knows too. I’m so proud of all you’ve accomplished in the last few years and that it seems that finally you are getting the recognition you deserve. So much passion in your singing & playing in this song. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us.
I've never heard your voice be so beautifully pensive, soulful, and emotive. Of course I've always considered you to be a very good singer, but this is special. Thank you, from an older guy who often wonders where the time goes.
If you're looking for an opportunity to cry and get in touch with your deepest emotions, this is the video to watch. I just lost my mom a few weeks ago and it's only art like this that makes the whole mystery of life and death feel that one's not alone in experiencing love and loss. Thanks, Josh.
An absolutely beautiful rendition of this Sandy Denny song. Pure. I am English and was enchanted by the original all those years ago sat at the feet of Fairport Convention as they literally re-invented folk songs that dated back aeons and made them relevant to the youth of that time. This young man, against all odds of time tide and attitudinal odds, has brought this song into the 21st Century. Thank you.
I can't make it through this song without crying. Life has gone by so fast. I have been married 34 years. My husband wants this played when he passes on. So it's hard to even think of my life with out my love.Josh you do this song just beautiful . Yes the tears are pouring.
Always an amazing guitarist, now an amazing singer. What a gift this young man is!
Beverly White Well said.
This is so good! Your voice reminds me of 1964-65 Paul Simon.
Perhaps you’re best yet. This makes you feel things just when you think you’ve lost all feelings
Another masterpiece!
I've been rewatching so many of your songs the past few weeks after finding your channel like 2 years. Never stop making music!
This young man never ceases to amaze me with his musical talent and passion! Josh, beautifully performed!
Josh - I lost my son to a drug overdose back in October of ‘14 - I can’t begin to tell you how much it still hurts. Yet, with this song and the way you’ve presented it, it’s a bandage on my soul.
Thank You.
(Kevin - I miss you and I’ll see you again)
Lost mine to the same in February of '12 and I'm raising his daughter. It's always there ...
Jon Jaeden thank you for your reply. There’s a million words I’d try to use and it never adds up. To be separated. Yet when I hear this song and this rendition, I can feel his soul close at hand. Time will come - but until then..I must wait. I will pray that your son is there for you when the time comes. Take care.
So glad to see this notification! One of my all time favourite songs. You nailed it.
It is good to see a younger player discover this powerful song, for me the original Sandy Denny version with Richard Thompson playing that 'obligato' electric guitar, is the best one.
Damn.i wasnt expecting him to be this good
Exquisite, gorgeous, perfect. Several commenters hear Paul Simon in this performance, but am I the only one who hears Kenny Rankin?
Wow. Devistatingly beautiful. Made my heart ache, at least when your heart aches it reminds you that you have a heart.
Josh, this is SUPERB, your voice is pure and on pitch, ohh and I love that guitar.. Great Job.
Very nice. I like the Sandy Denny version when she was with Fairport Convention. I love Richard Thompson's guitar playing on the recording.
Wow what a Huge song to tackle! And you totally smashed it. It’s obvious you really did your homework and put your heart into this one. Sandy and Simone are smiling somewhere...
He does a very nice, soulful performance.
For some reason, I have never commented on this one, and I am now rectifying that omission - in fact I didn't even mark it as a like - I knew Sandy way back then - I'm sure she's looking down now and admiring your rendition of her amazing composition.
My first comment here for a Josh Turner song, I love this song, I love Sandy Denny and this performance is legendary and inspiring!
This is one of my all time favourites by Sandy Denny, but you smashed it, great voice fantastic rendition. Great job Josh love your voice.
In 1975 I saw Fairport convention with Sandy Denny in my home town. This song was on their playlist then.
This song is still my favorite ..thanks Josh for your excellent version!
Love the simplicity of that guitar intro
A beautiful song sung beautifully. Please always leave this up there, Josh, for those of us who need it played at our memorials...
Josh, you are my favorite musical artist. I am mesmerized by the beauty of your performances.
Yesterday discovered you, instantly in love. Thanks Josh
One of my favorite songs. Great job. Loved her work with Fairport Convention.
I'm so devoted to Sandy Denny's version that even the divine Nina disappointed me a little (just a little!) in comparison. But this is truly wonderful in every respect.
Wonderful. Josh is very special. Can't think of anyone I'd rather listen to but Josh and his friends here on youtube. They remind me just what music really is.
Well Done! I'm an old Hippy and I've been following you for a couple of years. Your talents have grown tremendously. Keep up the good work.
Tim Irvin If you want to start the Josh Turner Old Hippy Fan Club, I’m in.
Me too.
I love old Hippies!!
Listening to this for the first time on a rainy Wednesday summer night (when it feels more like winter), gazing to the rain drenched streets, where a streetlight illuminates my window, with noise cancelling headphones on is really beautiful.
Beautiful song! In Heaven, there is no such thing as "Time"....no place to be, because you are already there!
I had totally forgotten all about this song. Thank you so much Josh for a little trip in the Wayback machine.
Mr Peabody & Sherman said hi.
Wow - Outstanding.
Nina Simone's album came out the year I got married. Then and now this song resonates in a deeply emotional flow with me. Josh, your cover is the best I have heard in nearly 50 years. I hope to sing it at my Sunday afternoon jam session. Thanks for resurrecting it.
That is one of my all time favorite songs....
Josh, this was a magnificent treatment of a standard that has been performed by many wonderful artists. Yours's is right up there with the best. You bring a sensitivity and nuance that is rare for a young person. Ordinarily, I would say to go and live a little longer and then come sing it. But you nailed it. There is enough pathos, empathy, and heart in this to touch the heart of someone my age who is asking the central question of the song. Stay on this path. It will take you deep and raise you high. I am amazed and so grateful to have received this gift of hearing you sing one of my favorites.
How did I miss this gem for so long? Love this song
Ah, I love this song! I find it super chilled out and comforting ☺️
Nothing short of brilliant. Stunning ..... thank you.
Do you know what's better than one Joshua Lee Turner? TWO Joshua Lee Turners.
Beautiful voice
Josh, I know others have mentioned this, but your voice on this song really is beautiful man. Keep it up.
Just lovely.
What a beautiful way to start the day.
Fairport Convention! Beautiful...
Sometimes less is more; excellent.
Very good choice, voice and sound... You made steps singing (your tremolo is outstanding now) and the solo seems to simone's trills on piano, but on a cordoba guitar... great ! versions of fairport convention are incredible but yours sounds particular too... bravo et merci Josh, again again and again
Great recording. Especially I love the "open chord" sequence. One guitar, one mic, one voice, one vision. Bam.
Amazing! Josh is a rare talent. We have just a few guys like that.
Nice work! I'm old. Old enough to remember when I first heard Sandy sing this song. It still works. Glad to see another generation is still performing this work - and doing a great job. Thanks!
I don’t have words, Josh. I’ve come back to this video so many times. You have perfected your vocal style as well as being the great guitarist you’ve always been. Can’t wait for what else you’ll do!
Rode across to a place called California __ in my VW van -- with an 8 trk of Sandy singing this reverberating -- to all on board to "Go West Young Man "
Seriously, how can 12 people gives this a thumbs down? Can can ONE person do so? Geesh. So great, Josh.
One of my favourite songs ever...
So beautiful. Found myself in tears.
Amazing Joshua! You made me stare out of my window for 20 min.. is there somtething you can't do?
Stil feel so lucky having seen you play live in Prague. Thanks again for an amazing evening!
That is absolutely wonderful.
My God.....what a talent.
Beautiful voice, perfect timing, and convincing soul...I really mean it.
Just discovered you today, and have listened to this song over and over.
What a gift in every way....thanks Josh.
Simply gorgeous!!! Thank you for sharing your stunning gifts!!
So emotional and thought provoking. Stunningly performed and must be one of your best yet. Thank you.
It's like listening to stars singing and playing. Magical!
how can a song make me feel so happy, sad, and free at the same time. the words made me recall so many of my life regrets and misfortunes, but your sweet voice and strings soothed me into acceptance. somehow i feel more at peace with them. thank you
In this time of COVID-19, I am here in the largest city in Canada, Toronto, and I am self-isolating on Wed Apr 15, 2020, at 04:24 AM ET. I just happened to come across Josh. This is wonderful! 🇨🇦 OMG, he sings in Spanish! Quelle talent !
he also sang in French and Portuguese. check them out in his channel.
@@richardkoo7869 I will watch all his videos. He is so gifted and talented. I have no musical talent. When I sing, people's ears bleed. 🇨🇦
Japanese, too!
Just sensational! We are so lucky ! Thank you Josh!!!
so good, especially one so young knowing this amazing song! Thank you.
One word, Josh...Beautiful.
Just... wow!
Just beautiful!
This is one of my favorite all time songs, and I couldn't have ever imagined a cover being more beautiful than the first time I experienced it. You truly sing with all the gentleness of you and I love it.
I first heard the Judy Collins version at a friends memorial years after it was released, and thought it would never be outdone-- until now. This recording, with the tenor, reverb and sparse arrangement is the best ever, hands down. It's haunting and stays with you long after the song is done.
Thanks for treating this music like it deserves to be.
Magic!
I think Sandy Denny would have enjoyed Josh’s version of this hauntingly beautiful song.
so beautiful... just beautiful...
This is one of my favorite songs in the world. Thank you, Josh.
I love that analogue warmth and that verb. Heavenly.
One of my all time favorite songs.
I have posted my appreciation of Josh’s rendition before. I am again stunned by the beauty of this gifted song and I am calmed in approaching what today might bring. Thanks Josh you are a wonderful wonderful musician and singer. I can only imagine the work and dedication you put in to create this ‘perfection’. Bravo bravo encore bravo.
Breathtaking
Amazingly beautiful! Thanks!
How beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful
One of the supreme tunes I've heard. It's so good that you keep challenging yourself and miraculously never disappoint.
The first time I heard Nina Simone sing this I cried the whole way through....and now listening to you....well done.
Josh, this song isway older than you. Judy Collins, I heard that song for the first time.
It si beautiful song, for me, a Seaman, and hace seen all them birds at the beach, and have seen birds way deep into the midle of all oceans.
You brought some memories from way back un my love.
Thank you.......⚓
Josh, I really admire you for taking this on. I've been trying for close to 10 years to work out a cover of this song and I always end up throwing in the towel because the Sandy Denny version with Fairport Convention is just one of the most devastatingly emotional vocal performances in modern music. But you really made it your own and it works beautifully. Congratulations!
You have a beautiful voice and an amazing talent. Keep going on the path your going please. Good luck and GOD bless
AWESOME!!!BEAUTIFUL SONG,BEAUTIFULLY SUNG. SANDY DENNY DESERVES TO BE .BEST KNOWN
