'Strangely Moved' and was on the L.P. "Second Season Came" for Bill Leader, (LEO18) released in 1970 by Rosie Hardman.

the song starts:

I am strangely moved, as by owls in a midnight wood
When the mind knows there's nothing to be feared
but trembles, as I do with you here....

the track isn't on any of her currently available CDs. Just wondering if anyone who may have the LP would consider making a copy of STRANGELY MOVED for me. Be happy to send a tape/minidisc & p+p etc. Send PM if you could help.
Cheers Brad

I have just received a copy of this song from someone who has recently started coming to my local folk club. It is one of those kind of songs that hits lots of the right kind of buttons. I love the tune and the backing guitar is so evocative.

Here are the lyrics transcribed from the recording

STRANGELY MOVED   (HARDMAN, AXFORD)


I am strangely moved, as by owls in a midnight wood
When the mind knows there's nothing to be feared
yet trembles, as I do with you here....

Long forgotten ways, words upon a half remembered page
Something in your smile turned and twisted tangled in my mind

Strange and stranger still, I know just what to say
There is no need to hurry, for the answer can't be changed
And somewhere in the past, waited for today
Sealed and signed, pre-designed, it cant be re-arranged

I am strangely moved, everything is falling into place
There is no need to throw the dice this time
The answer is the same in any case

Stars and tarrot cards, the reason can't explain
Maybe there are ways of knowing things that are to be
Once in a dream, that lingered in today
I know I heard you calling, "wait for me, wait for me"

I am strangely moved, now your eyes disturb me, look away
Knowing too much we must take care
Not to journey back to yesterday

PS Here is Rosie's website which includes info on some of her CDs

Rosie You tube vid 2 or 3 more videos also available. Rosie has some of her former LPs now out on CD. Lovely voice, larger than life personality. It is well documented that her voice suffered severly from smoke inhalation whilst on gigs.

If anyone is ever after any of the tunes to my songs, I don't have many written out in musical notation (only a couple) but I have MP3s of almost everything I ever sang so I can always let you have those. They are NOT good quality in the main but certainly good enough for someone to learn the tune from.

Just email me through my website (link in one of the posts above) and I'll do my best

Lots of love
Rosie
