Sentimental Lady

[GateandGarden]

This hurts and I might wind up regretting it but I'm voting for "Dust."

[ontheEdgeof17]

Sentimental...gentle wind


That's the song I wanna vote for.

[GypsySorcerer]

"Dust," again.

[HomerMcvie]

DON'T kill Sentimental Lady!
Dust is my vote.

[Mari]

This is the weirdest Survivor I've seen in a while.. first Homeward Bound, and now you're going for Sentimental Lady !?!? And I don't get all those votes for Dust either...

Bare Trees. Not that it 'll make any difference.

[Mari]

I'd no idea about that poem. And you're absolutely right, the song and the lyrics are beautiful. Thanks for that info!

I love the fact that Danny Kirwan found a superb poem by Rupert Brooke that he appreciated/related to and then managed to adapt it into an original, moving piece of art. Danny's gentle yet masculine voice quietly melds with his lilting, melancholy guitar work to create an effect that is lulling despite the darkness of the poem/lyric...It's simply stunning, and always makes me feel contemplative in a way few things--most literature, music, conversation, art, included--do upon listening. He manages to capture "the white flame within us" on record flawlessly while making it sound almost effortless.

In other words the song is a boring piece of garbage on the same level as "Woman Of A Thousand Years" and "Sands Of Time".




















J/k. There's not a weak link on this album (except for TOAGD), I just like "Dust" a bit less than the others that are left. So I'm trying to vote off "Dust" again.

I'll go with Dust even though I think Bare Trees is a weaker song. I'm just trying to protect Sentimental Lady(one of my favorites on the album).

[bretonbanquet]

Sentimental Lady is fairly dreadful by Bob's usually high standards, it's got to go, but I fear it won't

[ThePenguin]

Dust for me again.

I may as well jumo into it and vote Dust out. Nice song though.

Time to put the "Lady" out to pasture!
