This is what June says about her performance of the song:
It's a series of sepia or newspaper photographs and that's the way Peter Bond intended it to be. The miner in the bath, all black from head to foot, ready to scrub down, before they had showers at the pit. I see that picture. That's an amazing tribute to somebody that you love. The person that it speaks of is a real person. My Uncle Spencer was very much that sort of person, always doing things for other people, cheerful, mischievous, jokey, and when he died it was a real hole not just in our lives, but in so many other people's. That's the connection I make when I sing that song. When you've had somebody special in your life like that, whether as a child or as an adult, when they do die, that song says so much about loss and remembrance.
