A beautiful song from the album "Never for Ever". The song is dedicated to her lighting engineer Bill Duffield, who died in a tragic accident at Poole Arts Centre on April 2, 1979.



Lyrics:

One of the band told me last night
That music is all that he's got in his life.
So where does it go?
Surely not with his soul.
Will all of his licks and his R'n'B

Blow away?
Blow away
Blow away

Our engineer had a different idea
From people who nearly died but survived,
Feeling no fear of leaving their bodies here,
And went to a room that was soon full of visitors.

Hello Minnie, Moony, Vicious, Vicious, Buddy Holly, Sandy Denny.
Please don't thump me,
Don't bump me,
Don't dump me back there.
Please don't thump me,
Don't bump me,
I want to stay here.

Put out the light, then, put out the light.
Vibes in the sky invite you to dine.
Dust to dust,
Blow to blow.
Bolan and Moony are heading the show tonight.

Hello Minnie, Moony, Vicious, Vicious,
Buddy Holly, Sandy Denny.
Please don't thump me,
Don't bump me,
Don't dump me back there.
Please don't thump me,
Don't bump me,
I want to stay here.

Excellent!

This song took a while to grow on me, but it's really good.

I love the flow of Never for Ever's Side A. The way "Babooshka" transitions into "Delius (Song of Summer)" and the way "Blow Away (For Bill)" steps lightly as "Delius" ends.

And I love the woodwinds and keyboard effects on "All We Ever Look For."

Really magical.

I love this song and Never For Ever
