i heard this for the first time from the Quercus album on the radio and was blown away... it was many years since i had heard june tabor. her version of this song is for me the best...snd thar includes the voice squad..sublime.
I recently rediscovered June Tabor, because she's mentioned in a DCI Banks novel by Peter Robinson. I knew JT from long ago, but somehow faded away. This song I know from Planxty and of course I had to listen JT's version strait away.
This on its own would melt your soxs, however, inconceivable as it might seem she outdoes herself on the Quercus Album. If you like this seek Quercus....
@@bertspeggly4428 To me they are each beautiful and complete in their own way but encroach on rather than enhance each other, when played together. An analogy might be two beautiful paintings on glass laid upon each other. But as with all things musical, it’s just personal choice.
@@cliffjamesmusic I can understand wanting to hear the voice unaccompanied, but the piano on its own would be meaningless IMHO. BTW Try the Voice Squad's version!
The piano accompaniment is the basket from which the vocal can shine. It’s a voice in itself and I can understand why someone would want to hear it in its own right. Those fleeting instrumental pieces between verses are a real treasure.
Another lovely version of a song about the consequences of the men being forced to fight in egypt, and other parts of the ongoing wars between England and the rest of Europe. The wars and consequences continue to go on, breaking up peoples' lives. We Americans picked that up from our British rulers and instead of creating a better world in the new world, we just continue the same old thing in the same old way. Makes beautiful music, tho.
Beautiful beautiful voice ❤ sounds like a beautiful soul.
How can anyone not like this? Beautiful song, superb piano accompan
iment and June Tabor.It just doesn't get any better. Thanks for post.
Such a beautiful voice!
So many great versions of this song, loreena mckennitt, stick in the wheel, but June's version on the, quercus album is just beautiful,
Exquisite. A bass earthiness that is a balm.

fabtastic...as is all of Miss Tabor's work
Magnificent. So beautiful it makes me cry. I do miss my England from you. Thank you. Robin x
Sorry, but NOT an English song, nor anywhere near it !
When I reach for gold twas brass I found. Oh shit! Story of my life.
Recognized the song from Bones, thought it was beautiful, but to hear the original song is something ethereal.
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL BUT HER VERSION OF THE SAME TRACK ON "quercus" is sublime.

...Someday I will find you again...even if there's the end of all ages...I will. 🌹
Thanks for uploading this hobo lovin beauty
Touched my soul
Simply beautiful
One of the saddest songs I ever know. The version of Andy Irvine / Planxty is a little bit sadder.
Stunning!
Story of my life.
The Cara Dillon version is especially beautiful.

The version on the Quercus album is quite simply a treasure. I feel extremely lucky to have discovered it at such a young age.
A beautiful voice, wonderful piano playing. I just wish they were played as solos on separate tracks.
Why, may I ask?

As Glorious as the Great Great version by Planxty
