5867. Steeleye Span - Awake, Awake
 |
| From: Storm Force Ten; Year: 1977; Genre: Folk Rock/Progressive Rock |
Thought I'd already chosen this one, apparently not, time to remedy that oversight. Even though some dislike it, I cannot help but love the songs from Storm Force Ten and Awake, Awake is the magnificent and beautiful opening track. The record is somewhat different fare in that they did not have a fiddle player in the band at this point and instead employed prolific aerophonist John Kirkpatrick to play the accordion and to lend vocals. One of the best or many aspects of this song that some are probably unaware of is that the lyrics are derived from King Solomon's poetry from The Song of Songs, which makes for an amazing and vivid love story told in the lyrics. It is definitely one of my favourites from one of my favourite bands.
