Recorded in concert by Chet Baker a few months before his death a tune that it is said Elvis Costello had Chet in mind when he wrote it.

Fortunately I don't really do sad, emotionally or musically but about as melancholy as I go is this....

I hadn’t heard that before but as good as it is, for me this will always be the definitive version, from the songwriter Sandy Denny with Fairport Convention

I've always liked these 2 the most out of the numerous artists that have covered the song, heard the Fairport Convention version many years before the Nina Simone one and i'd grown a little tired of it in some ways, so to find the Nina Simone version just added another dimension to a superb song.
I'd bought Crime of the Century about 5 months before my Dad died in Jan 1975, and this song really matched my emotions at the time. It encompasses everything that I love about Supertramp, and is one of Roger Hodgson's most beautiful compositions.

I was grounded, while you filled the skies
I was dumbfounded by truth, you cut through the lies
I saw the rain dirty valley, you saw Brigadoon
I saw the crescent, you saw the whole of the moon
Ooh it’s a corner

I believe this was written after a friend of Lucinda Williams committed suicide - it’s beautiful as well as potentially life-saving imo
