Shirley Collins -[13]- Adieu To Old England

[@giovannimerlo1227]

Is there anyone after reading Middle England by Jonathan Coe?

[@fede8998]

Sto leggendo proprio ora il capitolo iniziale in cui ne parla e sono venuta immediatamente a sentirla... Bellissima canzone, fa venire i brividi!

[@mariachiaraberizzi5688]

I am reading it.

[@ShinyHappyLau]

Eccomi!

[@baglionisrl]

Eh sì, arrivato qua-via-Coe pure io!

[@alessandroscimia2911]

Eccomi😂

[@antoniofarelli365]

Must admit just finished the first chapter of "Middle England" I had to check this singer out so glad I did.

[@Lynp60]

Me too! And I'm not disappointed. Wonderful ....

[@fernandolo699]

Me too :-)

[@jacquesbossonney5071]

I just finished the book and I had not paid much attention to it in the first chapter but I do know. Great book and great song...

[@ruimartins2577]

Still reading it

[@liuyan1582]

Same here!

[@JuliaDrummond-k3l]

Yep, me too. Got here from Middle England. Glad to hear I may be in for a treat with this book!

[@karenbrown3343]

I, too, have come to this from Jonathan Coe's ``Middle England,'' a very moving, insightful book. And this song is mesmerizing!!

[@Edvardheath]

Me too!!! Just started after Mr Wilder and Me!!

[@losplaza7266]

What a voice! I'm reading middle England and my curiosity forced me to listen to this song.
It is nice to discover music from other cultures.

[@marjabijleveld5122]

Just now finished this very excellent book. Had of course to find the song...so very beautiful!

[@beplemmen2387]

Reading the book Middle England and had to listen this song. It's rather special and a bit misterious.

[@keithboyd2716]

just started reading the book - thought I should checkout the song!

[@ChristoDomergue]

Moi aussi The same to me

[@keithboyd2716]

I have now finished the book -what a great read - all this is going on now! -an insight into how incompetent politicians can have a dramatic impact on the lives of ordinary people (from different cultures and backgrounds).A very unexpected ending -I was not expecting that!!

[@ChristoDomergue]

@@keithboyd2716 Courage, c'est la même chose en France! Hold on, it's the same in France!

[@annicklacroix765]

Amazing that song! Just heard after having read the first pages of Middle England ... fits well...

[@pinkythepink6151]

Oui j'écoute cette chanson juste après avoir commencé la lecture du cœur de l'Angleterre de j. Coe

[@francoiseoudart336]

Même chose pour moi.

[@barbaragemin5117]

Looking up song as I too am reading Coe.

[@harrywix]

Thanks Jonathan!

[@charalamposkarapotosoglou6332]

Just started reading Middle England by Jonathan Coe. Beautiful song. Kisses from Greece and Merry Christmas 🎄

[@marieclaudelopin6787]

Could't avoid listening to the song after I finished the book..

[@juliahiggi5206]

I'm a bit late getting to 'Middle England' but yes that's why I'm here. Beautiful voice.

[@helensimmons3923]

I am even later but better late than never !

[@isabellebonhomme7080]

Yes, just finished it! I lived in Leamington Spa in the 90’s. Brought many memories back......

[@elainemeech9272]

just love the song and voice

[@verathiers2113]

[@MichaKoehler]

She's still alive!

[@ΕλένηΛοβέρδου]

So did I! Still reading it!

[@williamstclaire809]

Shirley hasn’t got the.greatest voices, but I really love the sound of her and she has been in many, many great bands, highly talented musicians

[@garybowen7057]

Heartbreaking and beautiful

[@carolinedargelos]

Je finis ce livre. Il est 6h du matin. Je l ai dévoré toute la nuit. J y ai retrouvé la France de juin 2024!

[@davidtyler6329]

Heard the song, now I've got to find the book.

[@annettemarshall4895]

[@hssmrg]

[@joannafarrer8085]

'The Lark Ascending' is één van mijn favoriete muziekstukken. Zo mooi.

[@sueready533]

Thank you Jonathon Coe.

[@GeoffNelson]

Sharpe’s Rifles sent me here. (I’m a little behind the times)

[@donnabilling3061]

Yes!

[@catherinegreaves-lord4801]

Me too 😂😂

[@AmritaShah-cj1zb]

Same

[@mirceaungurean2218]

YEAH !

[@christianminet4242]

Oui grâce à J. Coe que j'ai découvert dans ses traductions françaises !

[@mukeshcuster]

mate its different to this but mesmerisinng

[@juliemarritt7705]

It's serialised on radio 4 extra at the mo

[@TheTheclash77]

Me pasa como a la mayoría. He ido a escuchar esta canción leyendo a Coe...

[@liesbethzilverberg]

Ik ben haar ook door Coe tegengekomen

[@maevetwiselton-mellor1101]

Snap

[@rich0292]

Yep

[@basilpeewit3350]

The book was great, although the last couple of pages dragged on a bit. The voice of the singer is, to my ears, intensely irritating and some accompaniment would have been nice.
