Well I never heard that one before. I found it interestingly different with a bass and extra guitar? But I personally prefer the version Sandy recorded at her home around 1966/67 of just herself singing and playing her acoustic guitar, Sandy voice on that earlier recording is as clear as a bell. For me some of those home recording while very basic and striped down were some of Sandy's finest moments ever recorded. We are so lucky that we have them to listen to and remember her by!
I always think of this as an autumnal song,not because of the lyrics mentioning the seasons passing, but because of the poignant guitar and the beautiful and melancholy tone of Sandy Denny's voice. I know that it was written by Jackson C. Frank, but it sounds so much like one of Sandy's own songs that it is clear that he had an influence on her songwriting style.
Jackson C. Frank had such a tortured life resulting from being caught in a school fire that killed several of his classmates. He wrote me a letter explaining this tortured life and timeperiod when in London with Sandy. Sandy did three of Jackson C. Frank's songs and Bert Jansch covered at least two of them.
@@gijsbertuslaurensvandevooren Marlene Dupont, then 12, was one of the 15 victims who perished on 31 March 1954 from the school fire. Jackson's song Marlene is very difficult and painful to listen to: The ghost of her floats over there And the smile, the smile it seems, seems so lonely She gave me her hand as I struck up the band And she seemed to say, she seemed to say ‘you're the only'
yes... thank you ladysonja for making so much of this happen. Many musicians knew that Sandy's work ws an untapped treasure. But you put it up on youtube and over the last few years the number of videos has grown exponentially. Thank You.
Gold and silver is the autumn Soft and gentle are her skies Yes and No, are the answers Written in my true love's eyes Autumn's leaving, winter's coming I think that I'll be moving on I've got to leave him and find another I've got to sing my heart's true song Round and round the burning circle All the seasons, one, two, and three Autumn leaves with the winter Spring is born and wanders free Gold and silver burnt my autumns All too soon they'd fade and die And then there were no others Milk and honey were their lies
Such a talented voice and musician. She didn't live to fulfill her full potential, tragically. Just discovering her music and Fairport Convention, not to mention JC Frank.
I often wondered if she was of Scottish Background, the surname "Denny" sounded very Scottish to me. I have Scottish ancestry myself, descended from a member of the Cing/Roi family.
You have Ella for jazz, and Sandy for Folk... unsurpassable...
Criminal that this version isn't available on vinyl!
Beautiful lady witah a angelical voice!R.ip Sandy Denny(1947-1978)
I love this version and this photo. Sandy is Wild!
The wonderful Sandy, I could imagine her accompanying Nick Drake,as it sounds like a track of 5 leaves left.

It even killed his girlfriend
Are you Jacqui McShee of Pentangle?

Such a beautiful haunting voice.
Sublime
Sandy used to be the girlfriend of Jackson C. Franck who convinced her to give up her nursery job for music...
This version is simply awesome.
Jackson wrote this
No singer like Sandy, and no songwriter/singer like Jackson C. Frank. ♥♥
it's a shame she's dead but this stuff she left behind other singers can only dream of
you´re missed, sandy!
Darker and more beguiling than the released version.
1st class !!!!
sandy is amazing :)
so cute version!
Beautiful 💐🎉

Gold and silver is the autumn
Soft and gentle are her skies
Yes and No, are the answers
Written in my true love's eyes
Autumn's leaving, winter's coming
I think that I'll be moving on
I've got to leave him and find another
I've got to sing my heart's true song
Round and round the burning circle
All the seasons, one, two, and three
Autumn leaves with the winter
Spring is born and wanders free
Gold and silver burnt my autumns
All too soon they'd fade and die
And then there were no others
Milk and honey were their lies
Thank you. I appreciate the people who post lyrics.
Sounds like Sandy playing the guitar. She was quite a good player herself, especially on the 12 string that you hear here.
Two guitars.
Two guitars and upright bass?
Such a talented voice and musician. She didn't live to fulfill her full potential, tragically. Just discovering her music and Fairport Convention, not to mention JC Frank.
Would have been perfect for Fortheringay's album. . Beautiful.
The best singers come from the so called Celtic Fringe;although Sandy Denny was born in England her background is from Scottish stem.
I often wondered if she was of Scottish Background, the surname "Denny" sounded very Scottish to me. I have Scottish ancestry myself, descended from a member of the Cing/Roi family.
@Mark Weaver
I do know she was English.
well done
anyone know if richard thompson is playing guitar on this song, just read the wikipedia info about the demise and death of j c frank, very sad
❤❤❤
Very Babe I’m Gonna Leave You-ey 😊
where are these versions from ?? and is the bass man Danny T ??
Quelqu’un a demandé où l’ont peut trouver cette version mais personne c’est répondre ??
You have It here
Sounds a little like Fotheringay.
What release is this alternate take from?
Good Nick Drake s cover
No. Nick Drake was influenced by Jackson C Frank who wrote this song.
The lady
not RT. Quite possibly Sandy herself. She learned how to play pretty well from Jackson.
