Subject: Lyr Add: ASHFIELDS AND BRINE (Archie Fisher) From: Wolfgang Date: 16 Jun 00 - 06:32 AM It is a good song, worth posting, so here it is ready for harvesting (copied from Susanne's and Henry's site). Wolfgang
ASHFIELDS AND BRINE
Maybe ashfields and brine or gold flowers rare
Turn to the north wind's cold in your face
Come when the autumn burns through my land
Love all the summer, carefree and warm
Ashfields and brine or gold flowers rare |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: ashfields and grime - by archie fish From: cujimmy Date: 16 Jun 00 - 07:30 PM this is a lovely song - but what is it about. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: ashfields and grime - by archie fish From: cujimmy Date: 31 Mar 02 - 03:21 PM I never found out what this song is about - can anyone tell me. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: ashfields and grime - by archie fish From: Susanne (skw) Date: 31 Mar 02 - 04:17 PM I copied it from Archie's singing, but I must admit I'm none the wiser for that! Seems to me to be about the ups and downs of life, basically. However, it sounds great! |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: ashfields and grime - by archie fish From: Clinton Hammond Date: 31 Mar 02 - 04:40 PM How about a best guess at his tuning and chords for this one anyone? ;-) Ummm... also... I kinda always heard the first line to be "Maybe ashfileds and brine will GROW flowers rare..." It certainly keep with the theme of good stuff growing from bad, and eventually turning bad again, and growing more good stuff... Know what I mean?

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: ashfields and grime - by archie fish From: George Seto - af221@chebucto.ns.ca Date: 31 Mar 02 - 05:22 PM Well, I think since brine and ash are waste products from a number of chemical operations, such as mining or chemical production, that it symbolizes the aftermath of industrialization will be the natural world regaining ascendancy. At least that's my impression of the first few lines. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: ashfields and grime - by archie fish From: Gareth Date: 31 Mar 02 - 05:31 PM Mmmm! Max Boyce sang something on a similar theme. Bit late tonite to get my CD's out, but :- And Flowers are growing on Sirhowy Hill Perhaps that might jog a memory or two. Tho BTW, South Wales may well be a cleaner, and Greener, place now - but the cost was UB40's (Unemployment registration books) all around. There are always two sides to that story. Gareth |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: ashfields and grime - by archie fish From: John in Hamilton Date: 01 Apr 02 - 03:45 AM Here's what the liner note says-"A new industrial estate now covers the old Inverness landfill on the Moray Firth which because of garden waste used to support a myriad of herbs and flowers despite the barren surroundings of cinders and sea" From "Sunsets I've Galloped Into" Cheers, John |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Ashfields and Brine (Archie Fisher) From: Folkie Frank Date: 23 Nov 19 - 03:30 PM Okay, so I'm a couple of decades late, but I happen to be chord tabbing a few of Archie's songs. For the benefit of Clinton Hammond (and anyone else), I think it's standard tuning and these are the chords, per the 5 lines per verse: NOTE: The G in parentheses (G) seems to occur in the 1st verse only. G/B can be played as a Bass walk-down from C to Am on the A-string. Am (G) D G Am G D F C F Dm7 G Em F Dm7 C G/B Am Bb G |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Ashfields and Brine (Archie Fisher) From: JHW Date: 24 Nov 19 - 06:04 AM Sunsets I've Galloped Into. Damn fine bit of album indeed! Yes thanks for the reminder. Bought cassette at Sidmouth Ham for Silver Coin but decided wasn't for me (to sing). Old Alum works on our North Yorkshire Coast. Lots of barren ash and shale but the liquid used wasn't brine. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Ashfields and Brine (Archie Fisher) From: JHW Date: 25 Nov 19 - 02:34 PM 'Sunsets' was one of those cassettes (see cassettes thread) that ground to a halt and I had to replace with a CD. |
