To those who commented about how 'tragic' John was, let me just say that I was fortunate to play with him, and befriend him. I spent more time laughing with John than almost anyone I can think of. He loved life, and lived it to the max, both the sorrowful and the joyous. I guarunfuckingtee you he didn't think of himself as tragic, but very fortunate, as indeed he was. Delighted to see over a million views of this gorgeousness.
This is the one .... possibly my favourite song of all time ..... certainly my favourite of John's, I love it and what a brilliant version - discovered the song in 77 .... discovered this clip in 24 .... STOOD THE TEST OF TIME PEOPLE !!! So good John .... you are sadly missed❤❤😢
Long time Nick Drake, Joni, Bob, Leonard, John Prine, Paul Simon etc. fan. Never heard of John Martyn before a couple weeks ago. Can’t express how fulfilled and happy this discovery has made me.
Surprised that it took any Drake fan that long to discover John, honestly. You're in for a treat. You probably know now that Solid Air was John's eulogy of sorts for Nick.
Not many have a voice quite like this singer songwriter. Loved him for years ,and today that voice makes me feel exactly like it used to. John, rest in peace..love to you!
I was a little too young to appreciate John Martyn when he was alive, but his music is the soundtrack to my childhood. My Dad played him at any oppurtunity; after an argument, travelling in the car with the sunset, late at night when the room was all smoky, sung to my Mum as a joke, but with so much love. All these little memories I cherish and for that, John is the greatest singer and songwriter there ever lived. His music makes me feel, and this song never ceases to make me cry. Thankyou. X
I painted the cover to John's Apprentice album. He was an incredible singer song writer and he could play the guitar as good as anyone in music. Anyone at all.....
Saw him live 5 times... when he died I couldn't mention him at all for over 2 years. Shock and grief can do that. Now I just mourn. No RIP... he was here, now not, but this video is...more than enough to prove you existed. Well done JM! Luv ya!
I was lucky enough to see JM play life in Nov 1977 at Guildford UNI. I recall it to this day and, after many years rediscovered his music when I moved to Hastings in 2012. A master and innovator of music, he deserves to be more widely recognised.
Incredible this song has two interpretations, one tragic, and one beautiful. Couldn’t love ya more even if you give me the world because I don’t love you enough to be with you :( or even if you gave me everything I couldn’t possibly love you more because I already love you immensely ❤️
It's the spaces in the phrasing, it's the growl before the beautiful (Notes) it's the love, it's the tragedy - damn - this is songwriting and performing of the most extraordinary and intermate. Always amazed, always humbled, always blessed.
Classic Coronation Street brought me here. It's 28th march 2022...Peter was sitting at home, pining for Shelley...listening to this song and it definitely struck a chord with me. What a beautiful song🥰 Almost brought tears to my eyes. I had never heard of John Martyn before, but he definitely was talented. Rest in peace John and thank you for the good music🙏🏿❤️
It's just amazing to me how intoxicated and out of it he seems to be between the songs, but when the music comes, it comes so naturally and beatifully beyond any doubt. He really was the perfect vehicle for the spirit of music. Such an inspiring artist!
Seen him change his guitar string - talk about incredible - how he does it whilst talking - smoking - drinking etc + totally off his face - and in a flash all done. xxx
Just discovered JM at 53 years old. I have literally not stopped listening to him for a month non stop. This is my all time favourite song .... Watched the documentary about him. In the first few seconds he says “yeah, I’ve been shot a coupe times, stabbed a few, I just prefer the company of lunatics” seriosity, you gotta love the guy.
Grew up listening to Mr Martyn from the age of 11 years old I have played for upto 12 hours a day since and I am now 61 years old this mans playing is absolutely one off I play his stuff and sing them but .............................god bless you mate
John will never be replaced … everyone takes the wrong approach to emulate him … this music isn’t folk … it’s soul .. it’s about ‘getting it on’ … and it’s raw … it never existed before he created it …and in the process he willingly set some fires … one of my heroes
Sometimes a song, like a beautiful poem, can distill the very purity of an emotion. It is a rare thing, and we are privileged to witness it here. Cheers John.
I find it utterly amazing how he could have been quite so wasted and still play and sing his difficult and complicated songs impeccably - I can't play a single lick after a few drinks let alone play a concert for 100's of people, lol...he sure was an enigma 🔥
I was lucky to see him at least 4 times at various size venues, (late 70s to mid 80s) each & every time he was superb. Many times people would throw a spliff/joint on the stage for him, he would take a puff or 3 and carry on in his genius unique style …..
I listened to this on the way to work the other day and actually did have tears because of just how damn beautiful this song is, it's possibly the greatest love song of all time.
Unmatched. I love the way he smiles when a glass breaks in the audience about half way through the song, which gives you an idea of the circumstances the song was written in. Brilliant John Martyn.
In love with this song...Just been sent it by the girl of my dreams...LOve john martyn but never listened too this properly... John you've made my world complete.. Thank you and i wish you were still here.. Absolute Legend... amazing Godlike Genius
This always makes me cry.... It reminds me of how I could not hold onto my dear Lindy, the mother of my only son Oliver. In the end, distance got us. She felt neglected and she fell out of love with me. Thanks John for this one...... True Guy, as he seems to have developed a Scottish accent later
he got really unwell after lots of health and mental health issues, got very overweight and contracted pneumonia. He's completely wonderful. I love listening to him on a Sunday morning after a heavy night. Beautiful soulful voice...
I sang this song to my wife on our wedding day with my friend playing the guitar !! John martyn was such an amazing artist just such a shame he had some many demons!! RIP 🙏🏻
The only thing that is tragic here is that his skills were not celebrated more widely. A virtuoso guitar player a songwriter and poet of the sublime kind.
Watching John live is such a treat. I love the juxtapose of his animated, nervous energy between songs and his sensitive music. RIP John, thank you for all the great music.
I've enjoyed Johns music since the early seventies, saw him a number of times at the Queens Hall and a Edinburgh Festival marque near Carlton Hill. Great music, fabulous guy, sorely missed, RIP John..... Gie it Laldy !!
John's music was playing next to my crib when I was a tiny baby. When I hear his voice it brings so many memories back to me. There can never be a match for him and the feeling and soul in his music. My mum met him once up in skye but she didn't realise until afterwards it was him ❤️
Clicking on the like thing here on TH-cam is a universe away from the appreciation we feel for this incredible man and the love for his music, and how much he is missed.
Mr John Martyn is quite honestly just magnificent. And undoubtedly one of the greatest ever songwriters to ever come from the UK. In my top selection alongside other underrated artists like Cat Stevens, Labi Siffre and Robert Palmer. I'd pay big bucks to see that Supergroup.
I'm sure they're all up there, playing their music and keeping each other entertained, John, Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake.. all the ones that belong to one another
I don't how in the world more people don't know who John Martyn is...He's possibly the MOST underrated singer/songwriter of the 20th century! It was this song and "Over the Hill" that got me hooked on him...
At the age of ~13 my new then step father switched me on to John Martyn I am now 52 and still attempting to master the guitar, I have resigned myself to the fact its never going to happen but it brings me joy, both my step father (JC) and JM were true masters and I am eternally grateful.
Looked up "John Martyn 1978" because that's when I saw him first live - Southampton Civic Centre Nov 12th '78 - and he really was that good!! Just a fantastic musician, story-teller, entertainer. RIP John.
John never sold out for record sales. He just played his "stuff". 'Record advertising' was a abomination to him, as was self promotion. He just wanted to make enough money to live. His later managers wanted him to make it "big time",.. but this pissed him off to the point of violence.? John never released a 'single', yet he composed many great songs which could have been hits. His integrity was song writing for the "song",.. not money, media, critics or even fan approval. What a man.!
I was in the front row of this gig...I went to several dates on the One World promo tour. Surprise to this film....a reminder of turbulent times..... RIP John.
The sheer beauty of this song is almost too much to take. It's also incredibly easy to play on guitar. But be warned, it's hard to stop playing it when you start. If there's anybody reading this who can't play the guitar, then buy yourself one and learn it. It shouldn't take more than a week to learn for a newbie. I've been playing for 25 years and to this day still find it one of the most satisfying things to play. Utter bliss!
I'm bloody 54 and still can't believe John's beautiful voice only graced my ears about 3 years ago ... i sit in my garden and harmonise along with him... wish he was still with us ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 what soul and depth, stunning xx
I saw John Martyn twice in Dublin around 1958/59, and again in Limerick 10 years later. Fantastic writer, performer. Countless high quality songs, one of the greats from his era.
So glad to have had John's music in my life for the last 32 years, he was a true genius, so blessed to have seen quite a number of his concerts over the years... God Bless you John.
I don;t know John Martyn's story at all but in these videos I see a man bursting with creativity and love. If he had any struggle at all it was likely how to release all the beauty he saw into the world.
Sitting on a bench side by side, not a word spoken yet, we get each other without a word which is felt beyond compare. That unconditional love is something I was given prior to the passing. I love you forever & always, I miss you so very much.
The missus and I had this as one of the songs at our wedding, while we signed the register, along with a couple of Nick Drake tracks. Sale Town Hall, 25th October 2014. Beautiful.
Hey..you should check out Nick Drake..the guy Solid Air is about..JM was seriously influenced by ND..whose story is very interesting and incredibly sad. JM loved Ireland and lived here ..I saw him several times..class act.but personally..? Nick Drake is the Daddy-o.

I painted the cover to John's Apprentice album. He was an incredible singer song writer and he could play the guitar as good as anyone in music. Anyone at all.....
The apprentice is an amazing album-the cover directly relates to the song-excellent!
Oh wow! I love that sleeve! And yes I totally agree, John was/is one of the most gifted singer songwriters ever.
Love that cover art, Andrew.
A sublime singer/songwriter and musician. Has a special place in my heart
One of the most underestimated musicians ever
Yeah he deserves to be in the rock n roll hall of fame
He's in mine, that's all that matters
David Lowney :) mine too
He was never underestimated at any time....unless
Absolutely!
If this song didn’t end, I couldn’t love it more
Saw him live 5 times... when he died I couldn't mention him at all for over 2 years. Shock and grief can do that. Now I just mourn. No RIP... he was here, now not, but this video is...more than enough to prove you existed. Well done JM! Luv ya!
We share a VERY short space in time together.....and suddenly...sadly...it's gone...!!!!
I think I was very much the same. He touched my heart and mind more any musician after Jimi. And none have managed to do that since.
What a guy 😢
Amazing songs 🎵
An amazing voice one of the great people in music
John Martyn provided the soundtrack to me x my friends x family for over 30 years! A unique talent much missed.
I was lucky enough to see JM play life in Nov 1977 at Guildford UNI. I recall it to this day and, after many years rediscovered his music when I moved to Hastings in 2012. A master and innovator of music, he deserves to be more widely recognised.
Omg i am dying here
Utterly enraptued with this clip
I saw John many times in Glasgow
Uniquely beautiful voice
This song amplifies my loneliness so much. It's a beautiful kind of sad though
I know exactly what you mean Evan. Such a beautiful song, it made me cry x
Don't let the loneliness creep in my friend. We all have days where we feel alone, but we aren't.
i read your comment today, 3 years later and i hope that you are not lonely anymore.Wishing you the best🙏
Sadness is better than emptiness xxxx
Incredible this song has two interpretations, one tragic, and one beautiful. Couldn’t love ya more even if you give me the world because I don’t love you enough to be with you :( or even if you gave me everything I couldn’t possibly love you more because I already love you immensely ❤️
A little bit of jokey chit chat and then he starts singing. Pure bliss. Thank you John.
It's the spaces in the phrasing, it's the growl before the beautiful (Notes) it's the love, it's the tragedy - damn - this is songwriting and performing of the most extraordinary and intermate.

We seen him at the Edinburgh Festival after a few whiskeys. I think he always had that look about him.
It's just amazing to me how intoxicated and out of it he seems to be between the songs, but when the music comes, it comes so naturally and beatifully beyond any doubt. He really was the perfect vehicle for the spirit of music. Such an inspiring artist!
That's because he was drunk.

@@mixerD1- He was intoxicated because he was drunk.....great contribution there pal.
Great point, the truth and beauty of the music makes him lucid.

This is the best song ever written and played. The emotion put into it. Cannot be matched. Long live John
Great comment. Certainly up there!
this might be the most impactful song i ever hear, and ill keep listening every year
What a great Singer Songwriter.
John will never be replaced … everyone takes the wrong approach to emulate him … this music isn’t folk … it’s soul .. it’s about ‘getting it on’ … and it’s raw … it never existed before he created it …and in the process he willingly set some fires … one of my heroes
John's voice is transcendental.
pure food and drink for the soul- 5 years he's been gone and I go back to him again and again. peace
9 and I'm still coming back for more!
Sometimes a song, like a beautiful poem, can distill the very purity of an emotion. It is a rare thing, and we are privileged to witness it here. Cheers John.
This is the perfect observation.

I agree. I've been playing guitar for 40 years but couldn't do this. I guess what we are seeing is genius in this video.
I was lucky to see him at least 4 times at various size venues, (late 70s to mid 80s) each & every time he was superb. Many times people would throw a spliff/joint on the stage for him, he would take a puff or 3 and carry on in his genius unique style …..
2 years on after hearing this song for the first time (this particular version), it is still the most beautiful song I have ever heard...
Christ, this is good
Same for me. I heard a cover by a guy playing at a friends party some months ago and found this.
I've listened to every version I can find, this is the ultimate one.
Am stuck in traffic and close to tears because of this song - this is so beautiful.
First time I've heard this beauty and I am crying. Sung with such passion. Genius!
I listened to this on the way to work the other day and actually did have tears because of just how damn beautiful this song is, it's possibly the greatest love song of all time.
The most beautiful love song ever written. Genius.
One of THE most beautiful songs by a truly beautiful man.
My dad introduced me to John Martyn...and he is one of the best songwriters and musicians that I have ever encountered
Unmatched. I love the way he smiles when a glass breaks in the audience about half way through the song, which gives you an idea of the circumstances the song was written in. Brilliant John Martyn.
Imagine someone singing this to you? 😫
I wish I sang this to a friend who's with another
@@mekflower1850That's sad 😢
barely heard of him, pure genius, he must have refused to sell his soul. Thank you for sharing
Johns voice is so unique, angelic, mesmerising, and his songs weigh in amongst the greats.

such a beautiful thing to do
The only thing that is tragic here is that his skills were not celebrated more widely. A virtuoso guitar player a songwriter and poet of the sublime kind.
I'd never heard of John until I'd watched Ashes to ashes last night and this song was hauntingly beautiful in the background. This guy is incredible.
Genuinely one of the most moving, soulful and introspective songs I have ever, ever heard. Pure emotion and some strings.
the most beautiful love song on the planet
I keep coming back to this and it simply gets better and better and better. Love the very bones of you John Martyn x
Takes me back to a place of happiness and learning, living in a tent and being properly me, for myself. His music is special and yet to be surpassed.
Here I am a grown man and this is the only song that has the power to bring tears to my eyes. I love it so much as it brings treasured memories.
One of the best love songs there ever was or has ever been
My god this is incredible. I just came across this and I'm so glad I did.
Makes me cry every single time

Saw John play in Wolverhampton a few years before he died, so glad I did too! ✌️
I've loved John Martyn since the early 80's. I saw him live in Edinburgh. Was shocked at his passing. John you are missed.
I'm sure they're all up there, playing their music and keeping each other entertained, John, Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake.. all the ones that belong to one another
Nothing Contrived, cheesy, and false. Just pure, simple music from the soul.
Great song! A musician's musician. Left the building too soon!
I agree but he checked himself out so early. Sad. I loved him. 💕
Peter O'Brien absolutely followed him from OGWT...SOLID AIR did it for me and have caught up with previous albums with Beverly too
I feel so honored that i was able to see him twice in concert.What an amazing,heartfelt man he was in the flesh.
I don't how in the world more people don't know who John Martyn is...He's possibly the MOST underrated singer/songwriter of the 20th century! It was this song and "Over the Hill" that got me hooked on him...
