Joan Baez - Farewell, Angelina download song

That voice is clear water in a desert.

Farewell Angelina The bells of the crown Are being stolen by bandits I must follow the sound The triangle tingles And the trumpets play slow Farewell Angelina The sky is on fire And I must go There’s no need for anger There’s no need for blame There’s nothing to prove Ev’rything’s still the same Just a table standing empty By the edge of the sea Farewell Angelina The sky is trembling And I must leave The jacks and the queens Have forsaked the courtyard Fifty-two gypsies Now file past the guards In the space where the deuce And the ace once ran wild Farewell Angelina The sky is folding I’ll see you in a while See the cross-eyed pirates sitting Perched in the sun Shooting tin cans With a sawed-off shotgun And the neighbors they clap And they cheer with each blast Farewell Angelina The sky’s changing color And I must leave fast King Kong, little elves On the rooftops they dance Valentino-type tangos While the makeup man’s hands Shut the eyes of the dead Not to embarrass anyone Farewell Angelina The sky is embarrassed And I must be gone The machine guns are roaring The puppets heave rocks The fiends nail time bombs To the hands of the clocks Call me any name you like I will never deny it Farewell Angelina The sky is erupting I must go where it’s quiet

I’ve kept this fantastic piece in my soul for fiftyfive years and it is fresh and new whenever I hear it

She has a pure voice and this song is so gorgeous.

The lyrics. The guitar. The voice. You know you're listening to something divine.

I love the double album, Baptism. An astonishing voice. One of my childhood heroines.

Farewell Angelina The bells of the crown Are being stolen by bandits I must follow the sound The triangle tingles And the trumpet play slow Farewell Angelina The sky is on fire And I must go There's no need for anger There's no need for blame There's nothing to prove Everything's still the same Just a table standing empty By the edge of the sea Farewell Angelina The sky is trembling And I must leave The jacks and queens Have forsaken the courtyard Fifty-two gypsies Now file past the guards In the space where the deuce And the ace once ran wild Farewell Angelina The sky is folding I'll see you in a while See the cross-eyed pirates sitting Perched in the sun Shooting tin cans With a sawed-off shotgun And the neighbors they clap And they cheer with each blast Farewell Angelina The sky's changing color And I must leave fast King Kong, little elves On the rooftops they dance Valentino-type tangos While the make-up man's hands Shut the eyes of the dead Not to embarrass anyone Farewell Angelina The sky is embarrassed And I must be gone The machine guns are roaring The puppets heave rocks The fiends nail time bombs To the hands of the clocks Call me any name you like I will never deny it Farewell Angelina The sky is erupting I must go where it's quiet

now she is 75 but still is able to send that tingle down your spine a very special performer

The purest female voice I have ever heard. On the male side it would be Glenn Yarborough. What say you, Brad?

My daughter is Angelina! I love this.

Whenever you hear about such odd characters... it’s Bob Dylan, who wrote the lyrics. I don’t even need to check it!

One of her very best songs...

I saw her in 1960 when she was 20, at Bates College. She had us totally captivated. You could hear a pin drop each time she finished a song. Another time in Honolulu a few years later.

When I was at University I was brought up on a diet of Bob Dylan; Buffy St Marie and Joan Baez! Joan had the most perfect voice for this genre of music and I used to sit for hours listening to her. I only wish that in some of her later concerts she would sing some of these older songs - they were so good and evocative of the time! Being based in the UK we don't always see the concerts she has done but in the ones that we do see I would really love to see her performing these older songs as they are just as relevant today! We are not facing nuclear disaster or the Vietnam War but we are facing Covid-19, a pandemic that threatens to wipe out more people than died in the Vietnam War and the Korean War put together!!! These songs, whether written by Joan or Bob Dylan or Buffy St Marie still have a resonance today but for different reasons! Let's not forget them!!

The United Nations should declare Joan a world treasure so that every place on earth can hear her angelic voice.
