Ich habe das Lied als etwa 10 Jährige gehört im Radio 1994 und es hat mich so berührt und gleichzeitig beruhigt. Es gab mir was was ich damals von meinen Eltern nicht bekam und es hat mich erfüllt. ja ich habe Gott im Song gefühlt. Ich wusste nie wer dieses Lied gesungen hat. Heute morgen erklang es in meinen Ohren und ich habe es mit dem Stichwort Street of London was noch in meiner Erinnerung war gegoogelt. 32 Jahre sind seit dem vergangen, und jetzt wieder präsent. Ich musste heulen, alle meine Emotionen waren wieder da. Aber es war gleichzeitig Heilung. Ich musste das niederschreiben, danke.

Your music takes me to dimensions where I can be oblivious to my current surroundings. Thank you.

I remember when I first heard of Ralph Motel. A guy was singing some of his songs. I had found him because I like folk music. I listened and fell in love with the lyrics. Oh man, what a writer. I looked Ralph up, and since then, bought his book, and several of his cds. Ralph, I'm not sure if you read comments, but I enjoy your work. I admit I am sad you are an atheist. God is real. But I enjoy your music. Thank you;

He is so good with lyrics..... wow......

Lovely! Thank you!

Turn to Jesus He loves you, He is the healer of the body And savior of the soul, There is True Hope in Jesus, God protects Psalms 91 He is the God of miracles Acts 2:21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved Jesus alone saves Trust Him with your salvation John 3:16 1 Corinthians 15 1-4 Moreover Brethren, i declare unto you the gospel which i preached unto you, which also ye have received, and with wherein ye stand By which also ye are saved, if you keep in memory what i preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain, For i delivered unto you first of all that which i also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures, Take care

איזה שיר נוּגֵה ונוגע ללב, יורד חדרי בָּטֵן....

Just been to Ralph’s 80th concert and still hearing this go round in my head. Wonderful.

Beautiful XXXX

Beautiful ! I am 72 going on 73. I have been a musician most of my life & am forever looking for meaningful music. I have found it in you. Thank you so much for sharing.

Almost like being 17 again ❤️

Love your music guys : )

A beautiful song which will last for ever, the problem is we all see the lost, the lonely, the homeless and I was 30 when this song was written, I am 80 now, nothing has changed. Please Lord give us compassion for these your people.

I first heard this song when I married my husband in 1981. It always reminds me of when love was young. What a beautiful song. ❤

A legend. A classic. Beautiful song. And his voice is unique

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing

“That ain’t goin’ anywhere…”

Incredibly beautiful!

Happy Christmas to you both!

Still got a beautiful voice

Beautiful song 🎵 ❤️

Beautiful performance Thank you Ralph McTell 🎉

11s are very light on an acoustic - I had a J50 for years and used 12s, which I now also use on an old Martin Dread. Also, the "luthier's knot" is not used by a lot of techs - contrary to popular belief, there really is no need (they say) to "knot" the string. Opinions differ.

This is a message to whoever controls Ralph’s KZbin channel. Some of his most recent videos can’t be saved on Playlists to enable us to easily find and enjoy the songs again. This is as a result of settings saying ‘Made For Kids’ I also post KZbin videos and that setting is misleading. At first I thought if I chose ‘No, its not made for kids’ that was effectively saying its not suitabke for them (ie: adult content) But that’s not the case, what chosing ‘Made Fir Kids’ does is say it is specifically made with kids in mind, and that it is the main target audience, so for example would be on the KZbin kids which mainly has cartoons I recommend changing settings for ‘The Unknown Soldier’ and ‘The Things You Wish Yourself’

A great concert, pleased I bought the DVD

This song crossed every border on the planet. Congrats Sir. 😎

Good old times ... ❤

Loved it then. Still love it now.

👍☝️well done

What a beautiful city London was before it became Londonistan filled with worshippers of teh pedophile 'prophet'

Wonderful - love it

wow wow EXCELLENT 👌 👏 😢 RAY TWELVE STRINGS U.K 🎶

this song is from one of my earliest musical memories. 54 in February 25 and this still tugs at my heart. love from Scotland ❤❤❤

Your best one for me thanks. xx

Two wonderful legends

I sang this song in public some years ago in my teens, now age 63 I still play it to my children and grandchildren, I could afford to get the music then and had a recording off the radio that I tried to get the lyrics from, when I played in pubs people said that was good and you must have changed some of the lyrics for copyright, but it wasn’t that it was the recording I had,I guessed some of the words and yes some were wrong but it sounds ok 👍, thank you Ralph and all the very best ❤

I wonder what he would write ✍️ today 😢

It’s great song but so sad it’s more apt now

This song needs recording ... with new lyrics as the current is so depressing. I was born and raised in London. I want a song with the same chorus but with an upbeat lyrics. Then .,... LEAD YOU THROUGH THE STREETS OF LONDON ... every time I hear those lyrics I well up a tiny bit.

So How Can You Tell Me You're Lonely, And Say For You That The Sun Don't Shine ; - Let Me Take You By The Hand And Lead You Lead Through The Streets of London, I'll Show You Something That'll Make You Change Your Mind ". With Respect From Merseyside

I am still listening to John Denver, especially For You. He was a wonderful musician, one of the most talented I know. ❤

A timeless masterpiece 😢😢😢

Amazed that John Wiliiams can play contemporary folksy music!
