16 Jan 02 - 09:39 AM (#628936) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: SCION ? Matthews Southern Comfort pl From: Jim Dixon I am perplexed. "Woodstock" / "Scion" was indeed released as a single in 1970. Matthews' Southern Comfort's first (and eponymous) album was released that same year, and it contained the song "Woodstock" but not "Scion." Then they released 2 more albums in 1970, "Second Spring" and "Later That Same Year," but neither of them contained "Scion." A 1995 album was even called "Scion" but that didn't contain the song "Scion" either! Ian Matthews (Some web sites spell his name "Iain.") has also recorded several solo albums, but as far as I can tell, "Scion" has never appeared on any album. (A couple of other artists have recorded a song called "Scion" but it may not even be the same song.) That makes it difficult because (1) the web sites (such as AMG – All Music Guide) that offer reliable information and sometimes sound files are usually organized by album, and don't mention singles as such; and (2) a search using Google turns up lots of hits, but they usually refer to the album, not the song, and it's hard to sort them out. Sorry. I've spent as much time on this as I can justify. Maybe somebody else can help. |

I agree it's a puzzle and I hope I wasn't under the influence at the time and making mega mistakes... My info is based purely on remembering the song, which I believed I saw on the back of the single. anybody else know? Cheers Deni |

As far as I'm aware the only place "Scion" crops up is on the B side of "Woodstock". Woodstock isn't even on the British version of the first album, which was released here before the single, which then went on to be a hit.That album and the single were solo releases in all but name (the backing done by his ex band Fairport). When he had the hit he then quickly formed the band which recorded the next two albums and toured. |

19 Jan 12 - 02:20 PM (#3292948) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: SCION ? Matthews Southern Comfort please From: Jim Dixon According to updated information at Allmusic.com, the song SCION appears as a bonus track on the 2008 CD rerelease of Matthews Southern Comfort's "Later that Same Year" (originally released 1970). It's also on the album "The Essential Collection" (1997). Allmusic has that indexed as an Ian Matthews album, but the cover clearly says Matthew's [sic] Southern Comfort. However, Allmusic doesn't supply any sound samples of either album. |

04 Aug 14 - 02:20 PM (#3648306) Subject: Lyr Add: SCION (Iain Matthews) From: GUEST,nachetebarcelona Hello. I think seriously that "Scion" is the best song of M.S.C. Unbelievable why it does not appear in any LP with the commented exception. I tried with an english gay friend of mine to take the lyrics by hearing it with low speed, so this is what we obtained.
"Silently they gathered up their fallen pride
Hope it helps |

It was added to the third lp when the single became a hit. Scion was the b-side which never got onto an lp as Iain was leaving the group as the third lp, Later That Same Year, was being prepped for release. |

24 Oct 16 - 05:11 PM (#3816307) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Scion (from Matthews' Southern Comfort) From: GUEST,Helen Earl I found an old notebook the other day in which I used to write the lyrics of songs I liked. I'm going back 40 odd years here, to my teen days. Scion is one of those I wrote out. I used to listed to the tracks over and over until I got all the words down. I agree with the lyrics above, except I had the line 'searching for a reason to accommodate the change' instead of 'to come a day to change'. Since I hadn't recalled the song at all until I found the book, I can't say for sure which of us is right |

I had a girlfriend eho was into Ian Matthews Southern Comfort and we listened to those lps endlessly. I still have the lp of one of his later ventures 'Plainsong'. The Woodstock/Scion single should be somewhere in the house too. The video linked above played without a problem here. |
