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 |
02 Dec 00 - 06:14 PM (#350378) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'at the turning of the year' From: Zebedee 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... |

03 Dec 00 - 01:19 PM (#350745) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'at the turning of the year' From: Zebedee 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!) |

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 |

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 |
05 Dec 00 - 10:26 AM (#351695) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'at the turning of the year' From: GeorgeH There's a very fine version of this on the Home Service CD of "The Mysteries". On the Fledg'ling label IIRC. G. |

03 Mar 13 - 07:05 PM (#3486028) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: We Sing Hallelujah (Richard Thompson) From: Joe Offer 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?

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. |
