Hi Mary Alice, reading this touched my heart. I hadn't imagined anyone out there singing this song and your sister singing it to you feels beautiful and very precious. I hope life is feeling that way for you. Thank you so much for your note, it made my night, Henry
I love this version… I play this song all the time and screw it up… nothing beats a beautiful song that shows your soul… Thanks for writing this Dave Davies!
I'm the one who would love to hear you cover some John Denver next time I see you live or here in a Live Stream. Any of his mountain songs, or songs of nature would kill it when you are back in Western NC mountains!
I've actually been playing some John Denver since we talked! I have plans to go busking with a friend this weekend, maybe I can get a video of us doing a John Denver tune.... I can definitely honor the request in my next livestream.
Henry.... i saw you in Asheville last month. How often do you do these live streams? I subscribed and hope I will get a notification when u do! Is there another way to know? Love your sound and lyrics!
Hey Doug! Thanks for listening. It was great meeting you at Citizen Vinyl. I do about one livestream a month. Lately I've been doing them on Instagram. I usually let people know on Instagram and on my Patreon, which I'm currently revamping here: www.patreon.com/henrytoland
I keep coming back here after several years and see something different in the same video. You just cannot get more natural than this. This is a study piece of musical excellence, real life 'kitchen sink drama', and fun.
I hope you know Henry that your video made me cry. It wasn't the song. It wasn't the words to the song. And it wasn't that soulful melody. After knowing you all these years, It was seeing you now....all grown up. Bless your heart, whatever you do, keep on singing!
The first word is actually "hare" like a rabbit which would pounce upon a peak and rhymes with bear from the next line. I know that Kyle has a gazillion variations of these lyrics but that is what he sang on the recording 20 years ago. I know that isn't what that other duo probably sings but you know, go straight to the source.
How did these kids know this song? My very favorite Kinks album where every single song is GREAT! LOLA VS. POWERMAN AND THE MONEYGOROUND. This video would have benefitted from better audio.
