Who has dressed you in strange clothes of sand?
Who has taken you far from my land?
Who has said that my sayings were wrong?
Who will say that I stayed much too long?

Clothes of sand have covered your face
Given you meaning, but taken my place
So make your way on down to the sea
Something has taken you so far from me

Does it now seem worth all the color of skies
To see the earth through painted eyes?
To look through panes of shaded glass
See the stains of winter's grass?

Clothes of sand have covered your face
Given you meaning, but taken my place
So make your way on down to the sea
Something has taken you so far from me

Can you now return to from where you came?
Try to burn your changing name
Or with silver spoons and colored light
Will you worship moons in winter's night?

Clothes of sand have covered your face
Given you meaning, but taken my place
So make your way on down to the sea
Something has taken you so far from me

Clothes of sand have covered your face
Given you meaning, but taken my place
So make your way on down to the sea
Something has taken you so far from me

A perfect example of 'Cod Oirish' if ever there was one.

I have heard a lot of cheap contemporary gospel music that use the same book of tricks. The filler flute is popular since Titanic. The overly sweet arrangement, combined with a soulless interpretation is also very recognizable. This is extremely in my corner of irritating music. Mostly because they tried to be as non-irritating as possible.

I do like both of them. Solas not quite as much. 8 for Solas, 10 for the original.

Nick Drake's version is elegiac, moving, simple, and devastating. This reminds me of the Irish Rovers, a cheesy Canadian-Irish band that had a Hee-Haw-like show that was picked up by my local Maine PBS in the 70s and 80s. You should look them up for a laugh.

I remember catching them at the M-Shop in Ames, IA. Everyone sitting down like it was the chapel in the valley while some friends and I were tearing it up dancing off one side of the stage. At the end of the show, the band all turned to our side and played their encore facing us dancers. Great show.

There is an old saying, that it is often better to remain silent and thought a fool, than to open one's mouth (write a comment) and remove all doubt.  Consider the ratings "adib" to see where your comment rates you.
Myself, I raised my rating from a "7" to an "8" just out of spite, fool that I am.

This would be great if done by Al Stewart (not just Nick Drake). Then again, most songs would be a lot better if done by Al Stewart.

This tune has a traditional Celtic/British folk sound to it - a genre which obviously inspired Ian Anderson, and preceded his existence by several hundred years.  It seems many people here think that Ian Anderson "invented" British Isle folk music.

I only hear a slight vocal similarity. JT was (is?) too clunky and blunt for me, whereas Solas has more of a flow to their playing. Of course, the band has gone through a fair number of personnel changes through the years.

Partly due to RP, Solas has become my favorite band over the past year. I prefer the original lineup with John Doyle and Karan Casey, but I'm also drawn to the mystical flavor of this album, along with The Words That Remain. Try the "Reunion" 10th anniversary live album. Gorgeous arrangements on there, including all the past members. More of the traditional stuff was a part of the set list. There's even a DVD inside with 90+ minutes of footage and interviews. Winifred rocks!

Hah! I always hoped to be called a geek, but a yahoo as well? High praise, indeed, samiyam. Be of good cheer - if you read the original post, it was more a comment on the interminable "sounds like" posts, not so much on Solas, who so far have not called to challenge me to a contest of any sort. I don't remember discussing the extent or longevity of my appreciation of Nick Drake, but I don't recall it having anything to do with any sort of transportation device. If time and place makes a difference, I guess Nick Drake's mom had us all beat. I'm liking your thoughts about competitive music appreciation! Does it involve weapons? Will the earliest recorded Nick Drake fanciers be sending you increasingly creative insults?(Feckless progenitor of preambulatory monotremes! Darken my door no more!) Are we going to be issued uniforms? This could be huge!
Posted 20 years ago by Businessgypsy    [ Reply ]
OK this is the first time I have ever heard a cover of a Nick Drake song. At first I kind of liked it........but as it went on I found it distressing. Part of the almost ineffable beauty of Nick's work is its simplicity. In the naked light of just his voice and his guitar there is nowhere to hide. That's what makes the entire 'Pink Moon' album such a treasure. I don't think there's much to be gained by gussying up his tunes. I so much prefer the original version of this song (on 'Time of No Reply'). Sorry, Solas. But thanks for playing!

This is the first time I\'ve heard this on RP... and i thought it was Ian Anderson at first blush. I like it though - as usual, I\'ll start looking for the cd. I think RP should just sell a bulk CD set once a month \"All of the CD\'s we played this month...\" they rarely play something I don\'t like. :)
