lyrics
Why, why when I love you
Do I, I give you hell?
Your warmth wraps around me
In the morning, consoling but still
I don’t, I don’t give you my best
In the morning, nor the evening too
But darling, we’re in it together now
Aren’t we darling?
Oh I’m in it with you
Forever and ever Amen
In sickness, sickness and health
I found you
Before the long night set in
Now we reach towards
The cracks of light through the blinds
Where we lie
In the room the only room we had
Where chaos was all that we knew
But it’s not about us any more love
There’s a different beat, and a different drum
Oh darling - will you dance
Will you dance me to the end of time?
We’re in it together now
Aren’t we darling,
Oh I’m in it with you
And I’ll try, try the best I can
Forever, and ever Amen
John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser.
Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this.
Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?).
With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP. yellowcakeuf6
Thanks for the beautiful music Karine and Dave. it's been a while since I've felt so emotional listening to a new album. Every lyric is so beautifully supported by the piano parts. Laura-Beth Salter
There's a similarity in song writing between Richard Thompson and Hugh Cornwell which maybe isn't surprising as they went to the same school at the same time, although Thompson is older.
Due to Thompson's association with John French of Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band I searched for his work on the Bandcamp app. French, Thompson and Cornwell all have albums on the app which I'm very pleased about. Only Thompson has released contemporary albums, much to his credit. yellowcakeuf6
