This is such a hackneyed song. I shuddered when I saw that it had been posted. I've been watching the replies steadily rise since it was posted to a point where I felt churlish avoiding it.

I'm so pleased I have. This sounds fresh and unsentimental and simple and just bloody fantastic.

I have to agree with Bluesberry. You did nail it.
We are here on Earth to fart around. Don't let anybody tell you any different

I haven't heard this song before so it is new to me. And I think it is a great ballad. ANd you sang it with lots of emotion. A very good job!!

Another great bump.  I always secretly liked this song - although it didn't really sit comfortably with the long hair and leather bikers jackets that I favoured at the time.  Great performance and I'd like to be able to sing a tiny fraction as well as you do.....

Wonderful cover of an absolute classic accoustic song! I was a student in central london and at least once a day I would think about the words in this song

fabulous playing and a great vox
