From: GUEST,Nick This is no doubt not the first incarnation of this question, but I some people think the world has had enough of folkie love songs, but I look around me and I see it isn't so. Oh no. I figure this will illicit the names of songs I have never heard, and that is pretty much the point. What do you think the most poingant, aching, heart breaking folk love song to you have ever heard. For me I go with Stan Rogers Forty Five Years and for you?.... WFTD Nick |

Especially because singing that song went a long way toward winning my Beautiful Wife, 43 years ago. Actually, my personal reasons aside, Burns wrote a number of songs any of which might be entitled to the title of "the greatest love song". I immediately think of Jon Anderson, My Jo, which surely has to be somewhere in the front ranks. Dave Oesterreich |

For the love of home, my favourite is 'Linden Lea' by William Barnes. Otherwise, I'd say the best love song is a contemporary song by a delightful lady called Moira...

Most covered by other people? Bst known? I think by any of these standards the afore mentioned 'First Time' must be in there with a good chance. As it was written by Ewan MacColl I don't think it's pedigree as a folk song can be in any doubt:-) Cheers Dave |

14 May 07 - 04:31 PM (#2051695) Subject: RE: The Greatest Folk Love Song Ever? From: PoppaGator The only song I know entitled "I Hold Your Hand in Mine" is Tom Lehrer's ode to cannibalism and dismemberment. I realize now that there must be a traditional ballad that he was parodying, but I had never heard,or even heard of, it. I hold your hand in mine, dear, I press it to my lips. I take a healthy bite from Your dainty fingertips. My joy would be complete, dear, If you were only here But still I hold your hand as A precious souvenir... Wish I could remember more... I'm truly sorry if this is too disturbing for anyone, but I couldn't resist! On a more serious note, "She Moved Through the Fair" is a favorite of mine that tells a profoundly moving and tragic love story, although it's not a "love song" in the sense of a declaration of love from me to you. There was a fairly recent thread (or a recently-resurrected one) explaining this wonderful old song more fully than I had previously understood. In any event, it's the music, mood, and overall sound that I've always found so unique and overwhelmingly affecting; learning further interpretations of the lyrics only adds to my appreciation. |

14 May 07 - 07:58 PM (#2051831) Subject: RE: The Greatest Folk Love Song Ever? From: GUEST,Gerry Yes, PoppaGator, I was referring to the Tom Lehrer song. If you click on it in my earlier message, it takes you to a performance (not by TL) that's been put up on YouTube. I don't think TL was parodying any particular song when he wrote it - he generally parodied genres, not particular songs (although he made an exception for Clementine). My nomination of it as The Greatest Folk Love Song Ever was meant to be funny. |

15 May 07 - 04:41 AM (#2052121) Subject: RE: The Greatest Folk Love Song Ever? From: harpmolly There are far too many to choose from, so I'll go with one that has been particularly moving me recently: David Francey's "Green Fields". It has some really bittersweet moments but ends on a wonderfully high note. :) ...And I married out of high school to a girl I knew forever And we settled down together, and three children came; And the life that we were livin' was forgive and be forgiven, But wherever I saw sunshine She could only see rain. Left me standing in the cornfield With the dry land all around me, And I felt my heart sinking like the setting sun; And the sky was like the ocean pouring down around me, I used to be so proud, now I was all undone... (but later) But when I was good and ready When I stood up strong and steady, Love came with the letters in the morning mail; And I knew that I had found her When I put my arms around her; When I see her now in the morning how that sunrise pales. Leaves me standing in the cornfield With the dry land all around me, And I feel myself rising like the morning sun; And the sky is like the ocean, White and blue and rollin' And I know in my own heart she's the only one. *shiver* That's just yummy. :) Molly |

THE BALLAD OF MARY MAGDALENE(Richard Shindell) 1. My name is Mary Magdalene; I come from Palestine. Please excuse these rags I'm in, but I've fallen on hard times; But long ago I had my work when I was in my prime, But I gave it up, and all for love; It was his career or mine. CHORUS: Jesus loved me; this I know, But why on earth did I ever let him go? He was always faithful; he was always kind, But he walked off with this heart of mine. 2. But I remember nights we spent whispering our creed: Our rituals, our sacraments, the stars our canopy. There beneath an olive tree we'd offer up our plea, God's creation innocent, his arms surrounding me. CHORUS 3. A love like this will come but once; this I do believe, And I'll not see his like again as I live and breathe, And I'm sorry if I might offend, but I will never see How the tenderness I shared with him became a heresy. CHORUS: Jesus loved me; This I know, But why on earth did he ever have to go? He was always faithful; he was always kind, But he walked off with this heart of mine. |

From: GUEST,Ian Mather sans cookie I once knocked up a guitar tune, slow waltz time, lots of little flourishes, quite proud if it actually. I never worked up a score for it and to be fair, it was just a series of cadences. I kept being asked what it was called when I played it and I noticed it on utube a while ago, (wasn't even aware I was being recorded, I might have had a shave ). Anyway, my point is, after being fed up of people insisting it had a name, I gave it one. And it seemed to stick, and for that reason, be a candidate on this thread? I love you so fucking much I can hardly shit. I may have heard it as a joke in the dim and distant past, but use it anyway. |
