sandy denny ♦ at the end of the day (alternate take)

Not an edit. A song from the 1973 album "Like An Old Fashioned Waltz" (2005 remaster). This take has no violins. Personnel on the album: Sandy Denny - vocals, piano, acoustic guitars Trevor Lucas - guitar Jerry Donahue - electric guitar Richard Thompson, Diz Disley - guitar Jean Roussel, John "Rabbit" Bundrick - keyboards Ian Armit - piano Alan Skidmore - saxophone Pat Donaldson, Dave Pegg, Danny Thompson - bass Gerry Conway, Dave Mattacks - drums With Like an Old Fashioned Waltz, Sandy Denny expands on the more polished moments that her previous work, Sandy (1972), had suggested. The tone throughout most of the record is melancholy and personal, with gentle piano, rich strings, and barely a trace of her British folk roots. "Solo," one of her best songs, opens the album with a sense of apprehension and yearning, while cuts such as the beautifully vivid title track, the longing "At the End of the Day," and the evocative closer "No End" nicely follow suit. The Ink Spots covers "Whispering Grass" and "Until the Real Thing Comes Along" break the mood a bit, but it's a testament to the breadth of Denny's talent that she's able to make this sort of jazz-inflected pop work for her. These two songs seem to hint at a new direction that never really materialized in her final years, though an entire album of Ink Spots tunes was actually rumored at one point. As Sandy Denny's last solo work for four years, Like an Old Fashioned Waltz remains an intimate and moving record. AT THE END OF THE DAY (ALT. TAKE) (Sandy Denny) oh babe you are the one I love you are the one I'm thinking of you know it's still a long long way but I'll be home at the end of the day I'll sing my songs just for you and I'll bring my love home to you I can hardly wait to see your face again but I'll be home at the end of the day just miles and miles of rosy sky I'll fall asleep by and by I'm crying now 'caus you're so far away but I'll be home at the end of the day oh babe you are the one I love you are the one I'm thinking of so many words I need to say you'll hear them all at the end of the day I'll be home at the end of the day ®© UMG on behalf of UMC (Universal Music Catalogue) ®© therock&rollingsixties
