With Like an Old Fashioned Waltz, Sandy Denny expands on the more polished moments that her previous work, Sandy (1972), had suggested. The tone throughout most of the record is melancholy and personal, with gentle piano, rich strings, and barely a trace of her British folk roots. "Solo," one of her best songs, opens the album with a sense of apprehension and yearning, while cuts such as the beautifully vivid title track, the longing "At the End of the Day," and the evocative closer "No End" nicely follow suit. The Ink Spots covers "Whispering Grass" and "Until the Real Thing Comes Along" break the mood a bit, but it's a testament to the breadth of Denny's talent that she's able to make this sort of jazz-inflected pop work for her. These two songs seem to hint at a new direction that never really materialized in her final years, though an entire album of Ink Spots tunes was actually rumored at one point. As Sandy Denny's last solo work for four years, Like an Old Fashioned Waltz remains an intimate and moving record.
AT THE END OF THE DAY (ALT. TAKE)
(Sandy Denny)
oh babe you are
the one I love
you are the one
I'm thinking of
you know it's still
a long long way
but I'll be home
at the end of the day
I'll sing my songs
just for you
and I'll bring my love
home to you
I can hardly wait
to see your face again
but I'll be home
at the end of the day
just miles and miles
of rosy sky
I'll fall asleep
by and by
I'm crying now
'caus you're
so far away
but I'll be home
at the end of the day
oh babe you are
the one I love
you are the one
I'm thinking of
so many words
I need to say
you'll hear them all
at the end of the day
I'll be home
at the end of the day
