Subject: 'at the turning of the year' From: GUEST,Richard Thomas Date: 02 Dec 00 - 05:55 PM "We all sing Halleluia at the turning of the year" is the only bit of the chorus I can remember. Electric Folk? Anyone recognise the song or the band? Please email me at richardpaulthomas@hotmail.com if you know this song. I have been looking for it for about ten years now!! Richard thomas |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'at the turning of the year' From: Zebedee Date: 02 Dec 00 - 06:14 PM The song is "We Sing Halleljah" by Richard Thompson. It's on the 'I want to see the bright lights tonight' album. You can find the lyrics (and chords) here Ed Who refuses to send emails - if they don't care enough to check back... |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'at the turning of the year' From: GUEST,Richard Thomas Date: 03 Dec 00 - 09:56 AM Hey, Fantastic. Thanks Zebedee. I would email you to thank you but your policy on emails forbids!! All I need now is the music, but now i have the album name i can easily find it. Thanks lots Richard |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'at the turning of the year' From: Zebedee Date: 03 Dec 00 - 01:19 PM Richard, Sorry if I come over as a total curmudgeon. The fact is that a while back I'd spend ages finding stuff for people and sending it by email, never to get a reply. I'm happier posting stuff here because it may help people other than the original poster. Ed Having said that, I've still not replied to a catter who emailed me some software I requested a few days ago (sorry Bernard, email thank you on it's way!) |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'at the turning of the year' From: Liz the Squeak Date: 03 Dec 00 - 04:53 PM Johnny Collins also does merde chaud version of this, but I can't remember which tape it's on.... LTS |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'at the turning of the year' From: Barbara Date: 04 Dec 00 - 01:20 AM dog sh*t, Liz? my French is not so good, so what version of this would that be? Some friends of mine wrote an upbeat version of this that ignorant folks like me like better than Richard Thompson's stone cold bummer verses, and All True Richard Thompson fans despise wholeheartedly. I could post it if people want to continue the war, and I do have the tune around here someplace if you want that. Blessings, Barbara |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'at the turning of the year' From: Snuffy Date: 04 Dec 00 - 09:17 AM That's shit hot, Barbara. Does it mean the same in the US? This side of the pond it's high praise indeed. Wassail! V |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'at the turning of the year' From: Mrs.Duck Date: 04 Dec 00 - 11:30 AM Thanks Zebedee. We have the Bright lights album but no words and it is so much easier to find them on your clicky than sit and write them line by line! You're right much better to post than e-mail them I can benefit too. xx |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'at the turning of the year' From: GeorgeH Date: 05 Dec 00 - 10:26 AM There's a very fine version of this on the Home Service CD of "The Mysteries". On the Fledg'ling label IIRC. G. |
Subject: Lyr Add: WE SING HALLELUJAH (Richard Thompson) From: Noreen Date: 06 Dec 00 - 10:59 AM Included for completeness (thanks, Ed) WE SING HALLELUJAH |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: We Sing Hallelujah (Richard Thompson) From: Joe Offer Date: 03 Mar 13 - 07:05 PM Animaterra posted this in a "Healing Song Circle" thread, and said it was a shapenote song. I was going to correct her and say it was a Richard Thompson song - but of course she was right. It's not exactly the same, but did Thompson base his song on the shapenote song?

How about a little shapenote? |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: We Sing Hallelujah (Richard Thompson) From: Mo the caller Date: 04 Mar 13 - 09:35 AM Is the version Noreen posted 12 years ago the version Full House* sing. I know the chorus is the same, but I've never been able to make out the rest. Strangely I've just been reading this thread *A Cheshire band. |
