Strawbs - Shine on silver sun 1975
Once I sat upon a hill
To watch the world go by
My friend the young magician
Had forbidden me to cry
But I was the comedian
With the laughs in short supply.
Shine on silver sun
Shine on everyone
Shine on silver sun
Shine on.
The sunlight filtered softly
Through the pale and watery sky
To catch the mirrored salmon
As it rose to take the fly
The flowers on the riverbank
Were left alone to die.
Shine on silver sun
Shine on everyone
Shine on silver sun
Shine on.
The church bells sounded midnight
As I rose to say goodbye
And a solitary tear
Fell from the corner of my eye.
Shine on silver sun
Shine on everyone
Shine on silver sun
Shine on everyone.
Shine on silver sun
Shine on everyone
Shine on silver sun
Shine on
Shine on

I am SO lucky to have discovered them at 11 or 12 years of age, and their music has made my life much more rich. Sadly, I have met only 3 or 4 fellow fans here in the US - and one owned a record shop! I honestly don't know why much of their music hasn't been covered by other bands! If I had my way I would put together a band than ONLY plays Strawbs songs!!12 years ago

@1731dave You are royally awesome for turning lots of people onto The Strawbs!! In my life I have only met, well, less than 10 people who have ever even heard of them! What a shame! Keep spreading the magic!13 years ago

@DoonToob I'm trying to find "Evergreen". Do you know what album it's on?13 years ago
DoonToob
@ladyfuschia Thank you, Ladyfuschia. I already own the album. I should have asked specifically for a youtube video of Cuts Like a Diamond, to which someone subsequently directed me.13 years ago

@BillyJoeVegas You can get amazing turntables right now (I got one for Xmas) which hook up to your amp AND your PC via USB cable. AND have an iPod docking station which is lost on me as I don't got no iPod. Look up iProfile on the web...I just transferred some 70sz vintage Steeleye Span (another great band) vinyl to MP3; I am about to address Audience and some elderly jaz...B-)13 years ago

Turned onto these guys in 1972, I think it was. Phenomenal!! Took the album back to college with me and turned hundreds on to their music. Still great to hear after all these years. Thanks much for the post.13 years ago

Check the independent music stores - I walked into a store I frequented and the manager said, "You'll want this - and handed me 'Don't Say Goodbye' on CD. There are copies out there - keep looking.14 years ago

ladyfuschia...nice name & a beautiful song! Strawbs disbanded in 1978'Evergreen' is on an album titled 'Don't Say Goodbye'. It was released in 1987 after the group reformed,on the Toots label. Probably a fairly small independent company. The album wasn't issued in the states. I don't think they had a US distributor at the time. I'd like to hear the song. Perhaps you could locate a copy somewhere in Britain...although it would most likely be difficult to find.14 years ago

I remember hearing them do a song called "Evergreen" but can't remember where it's from. Any ideas??Related Videos
