Such a wonderful song; haunting, ethereal, beautiful, and timeless. John's slurred after hours vocals mellifluously wrapped around a sultry saxophone, as an additional instrument, and heavenly vibraphone drifting above. Danny Thompson's baselines are so intuitively sympathetic, in a song that is not quite folk/blues/jazz, but a hybrid combination of all, and the constant mantra 'solid air' referencing the late great Nick Drake -make this a special song. Always performed differently by John live in performance, than the studio version. Never tire of hearing this eternally transcendental song of love and loss. Got this down to play at my funeral when the day comes.!
