Joan Armatrading - Love and Affection - Glastonbury HD

Probably the best song ever

[jongerrie]

07/04/23, I'm having a quiet drink with my headphones on listening to this. I have a lump in my throat and I'm trying to hold the tears of joy and appreciation at bay, people may think I'm sad, or mad, or both.
This sing lifts my spirits

The voice has not changed in 45yrs, she has really stayed away from musician's troubles

[transcubadam]

This amazing artist never got the kind of recognition that she deserved...

I'm 70. I've been there & got many T shirts but this song, especially this extraordinary live version, reduces me to tears - evey time. And I'm not afraid to admit it.

I got lost down a rabbit hole last night and found this WONDERFUL WOMAN. I feel so late. I have this on repeat

[MrSkonny]

This amazing song carries everyone's emotions back to a happier time. I used to pick my girlfriend up from work, and one dark cold rainy Liverpool night as I was driving home with her this was playing on the radio. Every time I hear it I'm back in that car with Cathy beside me. Oh how I wish time could stand still and I could hug her again. I'm still hopeful that one day I'll see her and we can catch up over a coffee. The sax solo gets me every time. Such a great song that takes me back to a happy 'in love' feeling. Thank you Joan Armatrading xxx.

I discovered Joan in around 1979. Her recordings have always been excellent quality, her voice expressive. When I first heard you Joan I became a fan! Thank you for your contribution to music.

I noticed that a lot of people in the crowd were crying, or trying not to. I'm sitting here sobbing. I've not had it good lately and this song has brought it out.
EDIT..the only woman I have ever loved came back to me after 24 years away and is going to marry me again, we couldn't be any happier. ❤ Hold on to your dreams. Thanks for the likes and comments. 😊

Wow I’m in tears, what a blessing, Joan, Phoebe Snow, Rikki Lee Jones, Joni my age I know 🤠🍻

I can't believe I'm a 52 year old man and this song creases me up so much i cry everytime I listen to it

[ABSIMPLYFAB]

Joan is just off the charts original. Original is really the true test of art. In addition, it still feels fresh all this time later. Extraordinary talent liek this commands respect.

I was in that crowd, and i nearly exploded with goosebumps when she sang this. It's one of my all time favourite songs. Joan's voice is haunting.

that little boy must have some great parents; exposing him to such genius!!!

‘If I can feel the sun in my eyes and the rain on my face… why can’t I.. feel… Love’ . This gets me so deep and I cry every time. Such beautiful words

[Bencopland]

How bloody amazing is Joan Armatrading??

[comprehensiveboy]

I don't know whether to laugh, cry, do a dance or just rip my clothes off and jump in the lake but whatever I do it was because of her music and its power to make me glad to be alive. Thanks Joan you talented devil :)

[Nemoticon]

...a REAL singer/song writer from back in the day. And she a damn fine guitarist too! What a legend.

[lastpenny]

This reminds me of my Mum, so much. Love it.

[georgefoster]
