Hurry on Sundown

- The sunset on 8/9/06 between Calais and Dover. Unfortunately after a full day in Calais wolfing down Calvados and wine, I was pretty drunk when I took this and it is in no particular order. I also used various different camera settings. I just love all the colours and shadows. Music by Hawkwind: Hurry on Sundown.
Always cry when I hear this. Makes me think of our Mum.
Since her death in 2019 I've had a bad habit of sitting in her room with this on the headphones and weeping.
Sweet Jesus when someone dies they are so totally gone, and leave so little behind. A few clothes, her books and photo albums. Not much for an entire life.
Hope you're doing okay, man. Sending love your way.
Harmonica on this track is insanely good. Why Hawkwind didn't continue on occasion to explore more tunes like this throughout their career is beyond me. This is a work of art. Sounds like a great song to start a live concert. Impeccable musicianship, catchy melody and one of my desert island songs for sure.
My favorite song 36 years ago - and it sounds just as good now. I used to run home from school at dinner time, put the sterio speakers each side of my head and play it full blast. The teachers couldn't do anything with me in the afternoons. I'd refuse to wear my uniform, dress up in crazy cloths and make my hair stand on end. I eventually found Stonehenge Free festival in 1976 and ended up living in an old bus. I blame it all on this song and the sort of people who played it. R You mad like me?
Going on 50 now!!!! 👊
Stones in 81 82 83. Spent six years in a Bedford 45 seater then a showman’s caravan. Still love this song. Seen hawkwind the most times out of any band. Good on ya. Happy days
Often play this when I'm busking...always goes down well cos it's such a feel-good tune...
There was a guy in Manchester called Rob Grey - Little Big Band and he used to busk this on Market St....absolutely brilliant it was....late 80's / Early 90's...that's how I know the song.
@@neilaspin008 doesn't rhyme after first part....your comment
Yes sir yes sir
Always picks me up when i`ve had one of THOSE days!!
I wasn't born in the 1970s, I've never dropped acid, I've never been a burnout... But just listening to this song gives me a taste of what the 60s/70s must have felt like. It's something ancient and profound, yet new and exciting. I can imagine lying in a field surrounded by naked hippie chicks and bearded men, listening to this, mellowing out and watching the clouds roll by. This song is sort of melancholy for me. Makes me feel like I missed something.
you did miss something ! they played lots of free festivals in and around Sussex in the early 70's , I've been sitting in a tent with Nick Turner on such an occasion !
First time l heard this was at The Horseshoe Pass free festival 1980, loved it instantly, still do, happy days
its a version of an old 1934 blues song called Hurry Down Sunshine, Dave used to do a version when pre Hawkwind busking
Intro always reminds me of the Musical Box tune in Camberwick Green
I'll have one of those sugar cubes, thanks
what a bloody lovely tune. x
I've always felt this was such a laid back, chilled out tune - hearing it always makes me feel good. Very different from some of their more uh, ...'cosmic' stuff. (Which I also love, btw)
This song makes me feel good and I like the photos
This is my favourite Hawkwind song, and as it's the first tune on their first album you could say it was all downhill after that. But no, respect to a band that's always gone it's own way
such a great song...
0:26 to 4:53 needs to be looped so we can listen 24/7.
Moons ago ,Huw Lloyd Langton lived in the next street and used to come back to my place after the pub shut and play this on my old guitar with a beer and a smoke...Good times....
It has been a favourite of mine for 40 years, I play it regularly, on my guitar too, great song by a great band I have seen many times, thanks for posting. Just shared with a great harmonica player friend of mine.
Hawkwind has many fantastic tracks but this.....this Hurry On Sundown is astonishing.They have never done another track quite like this one and may be the only track another artist could cover. Hawkwind with a brilliant harmonica melody? But it all works -- the drums are thick and tight -- acoustic guitars are aggressive and the melody just sticks in the mind. I never tire of it.
I was exactly same at school, even did the speakers to the head thing, did some free festivals too. But didn't take it to the limit and live on bus etc. This is one of my all time favourite tunes
this song has every element i need in a song. love the harmonica too.
Their debut album simply called Hawkwind (1970) Great song hey?
I grew up with this band they are the best....
I absolutely agree with TEARDUCTER! This song brings back sooo many beautiful memories for me and as he says, let's wipe the slate clean for a new day, meditate, and see what it's gonna bring us!. Nice one fella!. Nice words TEARDUCTER! And peace and happiness to all of you people who are watching this vid and reading our comments. I love you all!
im tingling with memories..!
Damn.... this is such a great song. Haven't seen Hawkwind for awhile. Thanks!!!
Know a lot of people my age associate the 'Levellers' with life on the road, but for me it's always been Hawkwind. Happy Solstice!
lightning1975...dig you style! Food, refreshing beverages, shorelines, sunsets, space rock and spiritually connecting with one's super girl...you know the kind that have super lungs and we luv them, is a wonderful way to spend a day!
Awesome track.. nothing better to have a harmonica blast with.
I love it, great job,greetings from NJ!

One word.... Stonehenge.
1st album self titled: 'Hawkwind' Recorded about 1969, released 1970
There's now millions of people,just like you& me..
Good video. Hawkwinds first album and the best in my humble opinion.
@TheTrilnp yeah they did, they did hour and a half show at beautiful days with full laser show, it was fookin brilliant
Ah.....the good old days Peace : )
i had LSD a lot when i was younger and listened to these.i wouldn't mind some more to try again, a one off, but you cant get it like you used to.(just for the trip its great and weird at the same time its just an experience):¬) listening to music like this make me want to do it?
i did that recently a good dose of liquid acid and played all the classic 70's albums , in search , space ritual , hall of the mountain , warrior etc brought back so many great memories and to listen again how it was intended was awesome , im 54 now lol
@gfrkiss Quality! After the pub shut as well!? Even better!? lol You were with a legend and he gave ye a personal show over a beer!? Legendary!???!
superb track.
Yay thanks brilliant
video is cool, show it as you see it and this song is wicked.
There is something to be said for Freedom, surely. But keep it in balance with your commitments to do good things -- good works -- and your Freedom will be the fuller for it.
@lightning1975 I thought it was pretty cool. Thanks my friend.
MAZING
total respect to rich farr
Hope it's still that good when you're old mate. Good memories won't help you out when you have trouble walking and doing general day to day stuff! There comes a time when you have to realise it's time to wise up!
Another word.. Acid.
My sisters called Izzy Sundown cos of this song ;P

Hi Marcia, the magic awaits us. Put it in cruise, we know where to go. B
Wicked
who wrote this song?
Dave Brock
I replied to that comment negatively. I have since deleted the reply. I should have said " I can't believe i actually typed that. I reckon i had a cocktail of too much cider and a bad day." When i re-read my comment i actually cringed with embarrassment. It was a pathetic thing to type and i apologise to all and any that might find it offensive or whatever. Thanks for keeping things in order by replying and putting me in the right place.
yeh man....
Saw 'Hawkestra' onetime, screaming at them to play this... Not realising what bad tact it was, due to bad blood between Brock's Hawkwind and the other Crew.
Thanks! beautiful sunset eh?
Trippy vid :-)
@Dhrazia What a cool name!!!!!
@Dhrazia a cautionary tale
Hawkwind.
@luscaslayer You did.
Hawkwind were always terrible at mixes, bass is too out front but not in a good way. Drums sound like a bunch of cardboard boxes as well. I still like it though.
DAM FINE LOST
