Sandy Denny - A Look Back

I put this together as a tribute to "The First Lady of British Folk". Sandy had a remarkable voice with which she weaved centuries old English Folk Ballads with her own compositions. The results created a genre that had few peers. The diverse range of emotions that Sandy incorporated into her music cannot be overstated. The video includes two songs: the perennial fan favorite "Solo" & her signature composition "Who Knows Where The Time Goes". These versions are taken from "Gold Dust: Live At The Royalty Theatre", recorded in 1977 shortly before her premature death in 1978 and released posthumously in 1998.


"Solo"

Good morning, good afternoon
And what have you got to say?
Well, I'm waiting and I can't stay long
It's such a lovely day

There's a time to be talking
And a time when it's no use
Right now I think the things you say
Are liable to confuse

I've just gone solo
Do you play solo?
Ain't life a solo?

What a wonderful way to live
Traveling all over the world
Why the fame and all the golden
Opportunities unfurled

No time for the gent with the Mulliner Bentley
And Heaven knows what else
Why, he wouldn't even stand a chance
With all his oil wells

She just went solo
Do you play solo?
Ain't life a solo?

I've always lived in a mansion
On the other side of the moon
I've always kept a unicorn
And I never sing out of tune

I could tell you that the grass is really greener
On the other side of the hill
But I can't communicate with you
And I guess I never will

We've all, all gone solo
We all play solo
Ain't life, life a solo?
