Great lesser-known Al Stewart song.

William Walker

They just don't write songs like this anymore!

George Vausher

I totally agree w/ the reverence (no weaker word will do) for Al and his many under-recognized masterworks. I just wish folks could appreciate the past without feeling the need to slag off the present. There's tons of brilliant music out there, lyrically & melodically both, much of it right here at YT. "Ya just gotta poke around," as another songster said. FWIW, Al's fans might like some of The Civil Wars, Chairlift, Vampire Weekend, Marina & the Diamonds, and Gin Wigmore, among others. Cheers.

Am I the only one who finds this really reminiscent of "Carol"? (Not that I'm criticizing the man's genius! Somebody once famously said Vivaldi didn't write 600 concerti -- he wrote the same concerto 600 times. It was a canard -- but you can always tell a Vivaldi on the first three bars...)

One his best songs out of a lot of his great songs! Beautifully done with innovative & insightful lyrics. Chilling. Saw him & Dave perform a few months ago...he still is as talented & witty as usual.

Are we surrounded by the atoms of history?Do they walk right through us?Or are these atoms far off where the planet was at that time?

I hope you make a point to see Al Stewart. His shows are fabulous, and well, he is 66. One Stage Before, and a hundred other Al tunes will live forever. OSB is in my Top 5 Al favorites. Oh, listen to Somewhere in England 1915, if you've never heard it.
