Labi Siffre - Cannock Chase 

Actually shocking how few views this and most of Labi's incredible work has.

This has to be the most the underrated song ever

Sitting in the back seat of my car With my arms round my guitar And the rain falls from the roof of the world Nothing around just the trees and the ground There's a bird in a tree singing a song just for me, just for me I've been down for oh so long It seemed like my soul was dead and gone But it's alright - I'm back in the fight I thought my day would never come Maybe it won't but I'll have fun And I'll hold tight 'cause that way it might Oh I know I'll be down again with my old friend This friendship never ends The blues is always the same, the blues is always the same Well I don't know just where I am I'm a nowhere man I'm a Desperate Dan But I'll find out - maybe if I shout Give me your hand I'll give you my mind It's a fair exchange if your deaf, dumb and blind And we're sold out well that's what it's all about.

Great track and special for those of lucky enough to live near our beloved Cannock Chase. Only just found this by searching the area so a lovely surprise. Labi Siffre is very talented and I wonder what inspired him to write this song. The words fit perfectly throughout the song

Thanks for the recommendation Harry 😊

Love this!

I've only just heard this - intrigued by the title. Very fine song and style, reminds me a lot of the American folk-soul singer Terry Callier who was recording around the same time.

What a wonderful song 😭

This is about to get a lot of views...well deserved. Thanks for the recommendation, Harry. It's beautiful!
