Bert Jansch - Fresh As A Sweet Sunday Morning

[@peppik]

The record is timeless! It's been 40 yeras ago I got the LP as a present. Since I lost my LP-Collection I bought this one on CD. Lost it as well. L.A. Turnaround reminds me of the good old days, when we were young.

Imagine having this written about you. Nothing crude or vulgar, just a subtle celebration of a woman's beauty and charm. Thank you Bert. Thanks for uploading.

[@kathrinvogt-q6j]

He played it for me, for us, so many times. He left me. This song is still everything to me. For not being afraid to die. With all my sorrow, remembering his eyes, his voice and subtle movements playing this song for me. My love. Still hiding in my hair.

[@briancarnival6916]

You know when you hear a song for the first time and a shiver goes up your spine ? This song of Bert's had that effect on me.;It's my favourite of all time by any artist and haunts me to this day.

[@Ortonesque69]

Yes, instant whoa factor. I've listened to it so many times, will never tire of it, and could wax lyrical about elements of it.

[@katharineofarrogant7805]

Late to the game but same here. It's such a part of my life now

[@babyinvasion]

Bert Jansch was my absolute hero when I was 22 years old. Nearly 40 years later he still is. I must have seen him perform dozens of times in folk clubs sometimes at a couple of feet from his fingerboard. Singer, composer and guitarist of exceptional talent and charisma. He lives in my soul somewhere.

[@corinnejones9027]

i couldn't agree wit you more Ross.Many a morning i start my day with this song: Fresh as a Sweet Sunday Morn.Bert touched so many people with his sensitive view and magical articulation. And here i am still playing him.and forever more.

[@renaissance9498]

As a folk singer, I learned many songs from Bert Jansch, I discovered this song 40 years later, how beautiful !

[@gerdschmitt4377]

Ich liebe Bert Jansch und seine Musik

[@PaulUbanaJones]

i opened for Bert and the re-formed Pentangle in New York and solo Bert in Dunedin New Zealand-he was a beautiful man and he showed respect big time for his opening acts.It would be great if other big names had that sense of respect,humility and a propensity for the...'' nothing last forever'' Bert was tops in these realms miss you man and the music you gave me since 1965.

[@hassammahmoodq]

PaulUbanaJones You Met BERT JANSCHHHHHHHHH???????

[@mozdickson]

Nice words Paul.

[@donnlarossa9173]

Thanks Bert for all your influence. Best of the best lyricist and musicians I have heard in my lifetime. Sorely missed.

[@zootszabo2415]

Bert could reach the unreachable.....Gentle Soul and gifted from God himself

[@rockr5663]

Some musicians on a different planet 🌎 Bert was one of them.

[@alsirois-duplessis1631]

I first heard Bert around 1965 and his music has never left me. Bert will always be in my head and heart. Never a day goes by when I do not pick up a guitar and play for Bert

[@zootszabo2415]

beautiful indeed. Changed my direction in music at 16 years old

[@britishjazzbluesprog]

Beautiful, touching, sad..we miss Bert

[@Grungebobsquarepantz]

Such beautiful comments under a beautiful song.

[@WhiteNacho]

I heard the live version of this just yesterday. So I thought I'd hear the one from the studio today and OMG that steel guitar just slays it!

[@PaulUbanaJones]

i shall always bring your songs( songwriting workshops) into high schools both here in New Zealand and in Switzerland and Australia.Your poetic artistry in song writing and subtle acoustic virtuosity ring high in the realms of my memory . miss you every time i reach for my guitar.

[@MsDormy]

+PaulUbanaJones Paul how wonderful to bring Bert's music to young people.

[@tomrogerlilleby2890]

This recording has actually been filmed - and can be seen on the KZbin video : "Bert Jansch - L.A. Turnaround sessions 1974"

[@TheScunneredMan]

An 11 out of 10 song. Shame to say it had gone from my memory banks. Tut! Tut!

[@marvinbnaylor]

What a beautiful recording. What beautiful words - and thank you for putting them up.

[@OdedFriedGaon]

Fresh as a Sweet Sunday Morning "by Scottish folk musician Bert Jansch (1943-2011), a founding member of the folk rock band Pentangle, from "L.A. Turnaround", originally relaased in 1974. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4HQioJ_j5ppg9k Lyrics: Fresh as a sweet Sunday morning : Like a high stepping pony strutting and prancing Ah she's so full of life Sparkling with tiny red roses Let there be music to please her Let it be sunbright to light up her day Let the moon light her night And fill her with deep silent sleepiness If I were a small bird so tiny I'd hide in her hair just to be near her To hear her sweet voice And feel her sweet body beside me And if I were a high lord with riches I'd clothe her in satin from India's far highlands I would shoe her in gold Then invite her to sit at my table Step out young lady a-dancing To the sound of sweet music so gaily come singing For your beauty so rare Is as fresh as a sweet Sunday morning

[@isabelsimoesneves1728]

[@jerryxever]

Fresh As A Sweet Sunday Morning Fresca come una dolce domenica mattina Come un pony impettito che si pavoneggia e s' impenna Ah, è così piena di vita Brilla come piccole rose rosse Lascia che ci sia musica per farle piacere Lascia che sia la luce del sole ad illuminare la sua giornata Lascia che la luna illumini la sua notte E la riempia di un sonno silenzioso e profondo Se fossi un uccellino così piccolo Mi nasconderei tra i suoi capelli solo per starle vicino Per sentire la sua dolce voce E il suo corpo dolce accanto a me E se fossi un gran signore pieno di ricchezze La vestirei di raso dagli altopiani dell'India E di scarpe d'oro E la inviterei a sedersi al mio tavolo Esci a ballare giovane signora E cantare al suono di una musica così dolce e allegra Perché la tua bellezza è così rara E fresca come una dolce domenica mattina

[@pentangle78]

wow emotions

[@rosariacoppola3289]

❤❤❤

[@diabolicalartificer]

Can't get this song out of my head after hearing it here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4qwZ3mlm9Z3mMk&list=WL&index=239 The song invokes a feeling of loss and I feel like I'm back in a time long ago, a bit like past life regression; powerful stuff. Been into Pentangle for years but never listened to Bert's solo stuff; now I have a plethora of "new" music to discover.

[@countrypaul]

Veddy British - and that's a good thing!
