My dad is probably one of Roy Harper's biggest fans, been showing me his music for 31 years straight and although I've grown to absolutely love folk and all sorts of other types of music, I've never managed to really connect with Roy Harper, no matter how much I've tried. Highgate Cemetery was the first piece I've now learnt to love by him, black cloud of islam and now this. Glad I'm finally at a point in my life in which I can truly appreciate this thing that my father has tried so hard for so long to share with me.
Yeah I was brought up on Roy harper by my mum and dad they loved him soon as I hear a chord of his music it hits me hard , as they both died a few years ago a year apart ,my dad played this song at my mums funeral I’m crying listening to
I was lent this in about 1970, or 71. I liked it, but scratched it. So I had to buy another copy for the guy, and ended up with a copy! I totally fell in love with it. Now, what, 50 years later, this piece still astonishes me. Isn’t it just lovely.
Hats off to Roy Harper lmao Now I've no idea where that phrase originated from but I associate it with number 3...for a strange reason, maybe because Jimmy Page played some tunes with Roy Harper around 1984.
Matthew, yes, so true. I first heard Roy Harper in 1970 in Manchester. Instantly I was drawn in. His voice often vulnerable, sometimes mournful, sometimes powerful, is a perfect match for his precise, innovative, soft then percussive guitar style. Both voice and guitar perfectly work with his rich lyrics. He's so beyond the popular view, sadly under-appreciated, with Stormcock being his masterpiece, in my opinion. Thank you so much, Roy Harper. -Doug Pratt, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
This classic was encountered at University in the the early 1970s, and made a real emotional impact. Fortunately 'my little woman' became my my girlfriend and then my wife. I owe my whole life to this track.
Better you than me…. Still I love this track, and in the early 70,s I thought it spoke to me and ‘ my woman’. I wish…. Only time will tell, where we’re going to.
Have loved this music for Decades, since my teenage years mid 70s! Roys Beauty,Power and Influence even after all these years is in my opinion Absolutely Undeniable!!!......

Breathtaking stuff. Loved this album when I was in high school. The melodies, weaving and ducking their way through Roy's unique guitar style and voice, still sound as urgent and passionate today.
Yes, 52 years on it sounds as great and gives me chills, like when I first heard it. Brilliant song, brilliant album. When I croak I'll be able to say I turned a lot of ex-girlfriends and two wives onto his music. That's something, eh?
I didn't really know Roy harper, unti I read an interview with Kate Bush and she stated that he was a very great influence, now after absorbing many of Roy's albums 'storn cock' is just a master piece, just so beautiful, it almost transcends Astral Weeks as one of my Desert Island Disks. ;)
I never know what kind of day it is on my battlefield of ideals But the way she touches and the way it feels, must be just how it heals Ah but it's got a little better since I let her sundance I never know what time of year it is living on top of the fire But the robin outside has to hunt and hide in the cold frosty shire Ah but he knows just what goes in between his cold toes and his warm ears And he's got no disguise in his eyes for his love as she nears He spreads her a shelter She takes the tall skies As they helter skelter Along the same sighs And she wakes my days with a glad face She fakes and says I'm a hard case She makes and plays like a bad ace Carrying my ways into scarred space And she knows me well Ah but what the hell Only time can tell, where we're going to Me and my woman Me and my little woman And the Lord speaks out and the pigpens fawn The sword slides out and the nations mourn The hoard strides out and the chosen spawn The devil rides out and the heavens yawn And he knows me well Ah but what the hell Only time can tell, where we're going to Me and my woman Me and my woman Me and my little woman What a lovely day What a day to play at living What a mess we make What a trust we break Not giving our wings to our children O how we fail them O how we nail them Sunset my colour And king is my name Darkness she's my lover And we live in shame Too far away From the light of the day And so near, and so near, near Can i break through the silence that has taken my place On the plains of the morning that i just could not face Asking you these questions Telling you these lies Enveloping directions Developing disguise Open to suggestions But closed to all my eyes Dead on arrival, right where I stand Dead on arrival, right where I stand Dead on arrival, right where I stand Space is just an ashtray Flesh is my best wheel The atmosphere's my highway And the landscape's my next meal I need my own Good Friday And I'm trying my best to fix the deal Dead on arrival, right where I stand Dead on arrival, right where I stand Dead on arrival, right where I stand Dead on arrival, right where I stand I am the new crowned landlord Of all beneath my star Queuing up for doomsday In my homesick motor car Born before my mother Died before my Pa Dead on arrival, right where I stand Dead on arrival, right where I stand Dead on arrival, right where I stand Dead on arrival, right where I stand The cuckoo, she moves through the dawn fanfare The dew leaves the rooves in the magic air Feel a finger running through my nightmares lair Feel most together with my nowhere stare And you know me well Ah but what the hell Only time can tell, where am I going to Me and my woman Me and my little woman Me and my woman Me and my little woman
when I was first played this by a boyfriend I baulked at the misogyny of 'little woman'. (Same lover played me Neil Young's 'A Man Needs a Maid'). Now I can't hear it without the filter of his paedophilia...
@@sophiepomfret1950The 'little woman' in this song is actually a stormcock or mistle thrush. I think Roy Harper was influenced by the poem "Stormcock in Elder" by British poet Ruth Pitter. I think the song shifts from Winter to Spring. Robins are considered a British UK winter icon, whereas Cuckoo is associated with Spring. A Stormcock sings its song even through bad weather, which is inspiring. It's music that heals; it "touches" you. From the beginning where the speaker lets the stormcock sing its song to the end of the song, the speaker's epiphany: Only time can tell, where I'm a goin' to/
This takes me back to 1975, his name was featured on Casino of Lebanon for a concert, and the name stayed on the casino's sign for 2 years because of the war. Souvenirs...😢
Have loved this Man for decades Saw him many times back in the day One Incredible Poet/Musician/Social commentator/Revolutionary !!!.... These songs sound even stronger as the years pass!!....
It is a hymn to love in a world that has no time for anything but the pelvic imp, and his mate, the woman whose teeth and tits lead a life of their own. Roy, I have travelled with you for over 50 years. My time is coming, soon, thank you for your words and music.
There is no pelvic imp though...and wrong to beLittle women. I'm a Hard Case😂 I'm a big Woman...who loves Roy and his Beautiful songs. We are Young again in his music💕
I was always aware of Roy Harper but I never delved into his music. There was always something else to listen to first. I read about him in NME and was intrigued enough to eventually buy an album. That was Bullinamingvase. From then on I bought everything I could get my hands on. Some of it was difficult to say the least but never regretted. Stormcock is a case in point. I didn't get it at first. After two or three listenings I did. Now I can't understand why my younger self was such a twat.
Heard this song like around 4 years ago, from a show "love sick". First day i ever watch that show, my parents in law wanted to watch it. After they left our house, i kept watching it, until i heard this song. I had to listen it again, here i am still. p.s. Never continued the show...
I don't think we'll ever hear dynamics like this again. This song broke my heart, repaired it, broke it some more and fixed it again. I was fortunate enough to see it performed live at "The Theatre in the Round" in Scarborough, North Yorkshire (sans orchestra, but nevertheless) many moons ago. Beautiful.
Oh, fortunate Robert! I first heard Roy Harper in 1970 in Manchester. On vinyl. Instantly I was drawn in. His voice often vulnerable, sometimes mournful, sometimes powerful, is a perfect match for his precise, innovative, soft then percussive guitar style. Both voice and guitar perfectly work with his rich lyrics. He's so beyond the popular view, sadly under-appreciated, with Stormcock being his masterpiece, in my opinion. I still have that vinyl Stormcock. Thank you so much, Roy Harper. -Doug Pratt, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Roy! I met you & Tracy years ago in Santa Monica at McCabes music. The audience was entirely too quiet, except for me! Ha! Your first US show in many years. Then saw you both again in San Luis Obispo. We exchanged emails & corresponded a few times until I got locked out of my email! 😏 I live in Hawaii now. Would love to reconnect. I hope you are both happy, healthy, continuing to laugh & sing. Here's to kisses on the hand & guitar pick signatures! Cheers!

Here from. Love sick. On Netflix and honestly I’m so grateful for that show it’s really emotional and makes me reflect on relationships, not to mention the multiple songs it has introduced me to that sound amazing. This is honestly a beautiful and underrated song. I highly suggest you all check love sick out and support this mans music career
I remember a Harper song from the show because it's a bit left field but I can't remember which one. You're right though, it's a good show, worthy of your time.
Hi Roy. Always loved your music, want you to know it’s still very much alive. An opinion you didn’t ask for, but I much prefer the original (not remastered version). That grit and extra echo adds to the misty ethereal feel of the song for me. But at least I can hear the lyrics better!
If you people love a bit of Roy Haven't got the link but please check out 'Roy Harper and Jimmy Page live at the 'St Ives Hotel ' 1984 ,apparently playing to an audience of 30 people, it's Absolutely Amazing !!!...
I’ve loved this album since I first heard it as a 19 years old (all those years ago) but. And here is the heresy, this track was never my favourite one on the album. It always seems just a little bit too far up his own butt for my liking. But hey it is a fine track on an outstanding album.
Bringing in an orchestra doesn't automatically turn a song into a classic. This one is overblown, far too long for its content - doesn't do it for me. The opening line must be one of the worst, and most pompous, in popular music history.

Probably the most beautiful album ever recorded. There will never be another Roy Harper. An amazing musician and poet.
Oh, go ahead, keep me bawling for hours...
This is, without a doubt, one of the top 5 albums ever made.
Completely agree with you !
I still love this 50 years on
indeed so do I
Me too John !
I think that I love it more now, as an older person!!...
Was so captivated by his music...I neglected to mention how very Handsome this young man is. Smart Guitars too😂
This is one guy I really need to explore as part of my bucket list. 66 & only getting into him now. He reminds me of Rodriguez quite a bit actually.
this has to be my favourite track of all time. it just touches my soul.
One of the most beautiful songs ever! Subjective of course. I'm not a fuckin nazi!!!
Indeed it is! It's best enjoyed in headphones. It's a beautiful journey. 💜

Classic Mr Harper... Timeless and genius music... Top Man
I never know what kind of day it is on my battlefield of ideals
But the way she touches and the way it feels, must be just how it heals
Ah but it's got a little better since I let her sundance
I never know what time of year it is living on top of the fire
But the robin outside has to hunt and hide in the cold frosty shire
Ah but he knows just what goes in between his cold toes and his warm ears
And he's got no disguise in his eyes for his love as she nears
He spreads her a shelter
She takes the tall skies
As they helter skelter
Along the same sighs
And she wakes my days with a glad face
She fakes and says I'm a hard case
She makes and plays like a bad ace
Carrying my ways into scarred space
And she knows me well
Ah but what the hell
Only time can tell, where we're going to
Me and my woman
Me and my little woman
And the Lord speaks out and the pigpens fawn
The sword slides out and the nations mourn
The hoard strides out and the chosen spawn
The devil rides out and the heavens yawn
And he knows me well
Ah but what the hell
Only time can tell, where we're going to
Me and my woman
Me and my woman
Me and my little woman
What a lovely day
What a day to play at living
What a mess we make
What a trust we break
Not giving our wings to our children
O how we fail them
O how we nail them
Sunset my colour
And king is my name
Darkness she's my lover
And we live in shame
Too far away
From the light of the day
And so near, and so near, near
Can i break through the silence that has taken my place
On the plains of the morning that i just could not face
Asking you these questions
Telling you these lies
Enveloping directions
Developing disguise
Open to suggestions
But closed to all my eyes
Dead on arrival, right where I stand
Dead on arrival, right where I stand
Dead on arrival, right where I stand
Space is just an ashtray
Flesh is my best wheel
The atmosphere's my highway
And the landscape's my next meal
I need my own Good Friday
And I'm trying my best to fix the deal
Dead on arrival, right where I stand
Dead on arrival, right where I stand
Dead on arrival, right where I stand
Dead on arrival, right where I stand
I am the new crowned landlord
Of all beneath my star
Queuing up for doomsday
In my homesick motor car
Born before my mother
Died before my Pa
Dead on arrival, right where I stand
Dead on arrival, right where I stand
Dead on arrival, right where I stand
Dead on arrival, right where I stand
The cuckoo, she moves through the dawn fanfare
The dew leaves the rooves in the magic air
Feel a finger running through my nightmares lair
Feel most together with my nowhere stare
And you know me well
Ah but what the hell
Only time can tell, where am I going to
Me and my woman
Me and my little woman
Me and my woman
Me and my little woman

A further comment. I saw Roy at Poynton Folk Club in the early 80s. It was a wonderful experience. Thanks Roy for so much...
Superb!!! What a song!!
its not a song, its a symphony
I swear, either I've smoked too much hashish, or Roy has just winked at me full screen (thrice, one after another). Watch!
