Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
For my soul.
By still waters I lay down with the lambs
In pastures green I made peace with my soul
And I cared not for the night
While my guiding star shone bright
By still waters I lay down
I lay down.
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
For my soul.
At the roadside I took toll of my times
From dirty streets I gained peace for my soul
May the merciful be right
Are you ready for the night
At the roadside I lay down
I lay down.
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
For my soul.
In deep sorrow I took flight with the sun
From mountains high I gained strength for my soul
I proved stronger than the test
When my spirit came to rest
In deep sorrow I lay down
I lay down.
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
For my soul.

Every time I think I couldn't love RP more, Bill and Rebecca play another fabulous gem from my youth that I just NEVER hear anywhere else. Love this song and love RP!!!
Oh my. A FM radio classic. Ya had to be there to appreciate it.
But still can't understand what language this is....ha!

'The Hangman and the Papist' from 'Witchwood' never fails to send chills down my spine. The title track 'New World' from Grave New World is similarly creepy. This pop track does not do them justice on this erudite forum!
Probably my all time favorite band. Wish RP would get the album "Hero and Heroine". The albums From the Witchwood, Grave New World, Bursting at the Seams, Hero and Heroine, Ghosts, and Nomadness (last is less prog) are a fantastic group of sequential albums! This is the band that gave Sandy Denny (Fairport Convention) and Rick Wakeman their starts. Not pop radio play although had a minor hit with State of the Union, which is not terribly representative. Definitely one of the most underrated progressive rock bands in the universe.

Yes.
I think my mates and I could manage a pretty decent version of this...pretty straight forward stuff here...at least I wouldn't have to worry about messing up the lyrics, with the expectations that its all supposed to sound like gibberish, takes a ton of pressure off...
Stopped to look at the RP tab because I thought I heard the Strawbs. It's been many years since I heard this.
Mike_lise - back at Cha!!! CHOM was the gold standard. Today only The Current in Minneapolis comes close to the breadth of playlist
Great to hear this again after many decades
Remember I am a Union Man back in the early Seventies. A classic!
Although being aged about 10 at the time didn't really the full connotations of the lyrics!

I loved the Strawbs when I was in high school. This takes me waaaay back. I played the album Hero and Heroine incessantly. Thanks for the memories!

Even tho I owned the album, and played it to death, I never understood the lyrics.
Yah, yah,yah
I lay down!
Now I can read them. It doesn't help.
Still, I give it an 8.
Part of the Union would garner a 9.

I was lucky enough to grow up in Montreal where our local FM station CHOM FM played all the prog greats, many long before they were known in North America
Hearing The Strawbs brings back great memories!

Decades ago, I heard Strawbs on a local FM prog station that often played stuff you never heard before. (Miss that damn station...) If not for my own audio system, the only place I'd ever hear them again is here on RP. Jeez, Bill, I'm not sure if I'm acquainted with any music that you've never heard of, too. Love the eclecticism!

Nice to be reminded of The Strawbs.
Use to hear them on WQBK-FM back in the 70s. Great little progressive radio station that you could drive out to visit in the country outside Albany, NY and hang out with the DJs and Program Director.

That choir noise at the end... Did Flaming Lips sample that for the opening of Are You a Hypnotist?
May make for a good follow-up, just sayin'.

Just shows ya that the 1970s had a bzillion genres; including this one.

We saw The Strawbs play live a couple of years ago in Devon. They were bloody FANTASTIC! What a band; they were brilliant, great entertainers and the quality of the music was just 100%. Age hath not dimmed them; or something!

One of the first bands I ever saw... with Rick Wakeman before he joined Yes... so that does date me!
Much overlooked band of the early 70''s - 'From the Witchwood' being too good for words... 'Hangman and the Papist' still chills.

This album followed by Hero and Heroine followed by Ghosts is a triumvirate of the most equsite. They never got the credit they deserved. Saw them at Indiana University of Pa in 1973 with Dave Mason: great show!!!

I seem to recall it was one of those dope-dealing friends in college residence ('the zoo') with a great sound system that turned me on to the Strawbs.

Beyond wonderful to hear Dave Cousins' voice here on RP. The Strawbs are on tour in this region, I believe...
Thanks, Bill!

sweet jane guitar!
This song got me to abandon my studies and toddle down stairs to see what it was. That's not too bad a reaction, eh?
Anyway, I'd never heard it - though I had heard of the Strawbs - just barely...
It didn't sound like something from the '70's, except maybe some of Fairport Convention from that time. Of course, FC didn't sound like the '70's either.
I wouldn't mind hearing this again.

I liked "Hero and Heroine" back in the day. Haven't dug it out in some time. Perhaps some things sounded better in their original time.

I fondly remember "Down By The Sea" as a strong and evocative track. Mid-70's prog rock in a secret suburban basement love nest. "Lay Down" might've been a more aptly named track, though.
"i am only 45, so never got to hear them in there hay day, but i got into them through my older brother & older ex husband, we went to see them in the 80's in Beverly, they were awsum!!! This track is very spiritual, if you listen to the words, and also a track called "stormy down", which obviously relates to an event of getting stoned & talking to god, briliant track....memories!!!!!"
my comment:
"this does not mean nothing, but this band, in particular this subject, remembers me happy days in the past, ty Strawbs."
** 8 **
"I gotta admit Im a Wakeman fan, more than Strawbs, but thanks for posting. I've heard him play with them on record, but neer seen any footage till now."

Interesting; singer sounds a bit like Cat Stevens. Oh, BTW, this song sucks ass!!

I like their song Heavy Disguise
Bought a Strawbs album (cassette tape) when I was 15. I recall these lyrics to this day: (from Out in the Cold)
I sucked on your breasts, your legs opened wide
I could scarcely believe all the pleasures inside
I was sold then. Sounds a little dated now.

Those were the days .. sunshine-chicks and the other happy gear .. RP rocks 
sunday morning in the Netherlands - you playin' Strawbs was already amazing and then Madame George; my girlfriend on my lap, silently enjoying the moment. Thanks a lot Bill, we love RP.
I can't understand a word that guy says!
Only on RP! Here's a blast from my past. There's another song that was kinda a hit for these cats... "Juliette"... "In a world that's spinning faster, and getting older is a crime. I believe that once is not enough, I believe in one more time..."

The song this band did that made me stop and listen was "The man who called himself Jesus"
Great song...listen carefully to the reporter interviewing someone who came in contact with him(Jesus)in the very beginning...good segue into the song.

Threw back a few with the acoustic incarnation of this band a few years ago in New York. Fond memories.
Was lucky enough to see them back in the 70"s miss there tunes . Good stuff

Yes, excellent stuff. The only place I can find these guys any more , they play here couple years ago at a local festival. But not many east coasters remeber them any more. Saw them couple times when I was young , enjoyable thanks RP
Long ago and far away!Sweet.
Couple of dope dealing buds were into the Strawbs in 1st year university residence. Man, they had great sound systems!
Methinks this would transition nicely into "Are You A Hypnotist?" by the Flaming Lips.
STRAWBS!!!! /faints
The Strawbs! Wonderful!
Edit: Yes play Hero and Heroine.
These guys had several truly great records in the '70's. This song is after the lead singer lost his voice-- it used to be much better.
Hero and Heroine was a record I played over and over back then, and it really expanded my musical mind with a different bent of folk rock-- perhaps it was a big influence on Richard Thompson's later style. The lyrics were a bit of a revelation to my young teen mind, all about some frank realistic discussions of sex and break ups and such I'd never known before in the midst of really awesome harmonies and mellotron/synth symphonic progressive folk rock.

First Band I ever saw. Town Hall in Tunbridge Wells. Mid 70s. Smoked Sobranie Cocktails and wore blue corduroy. The Duke of Deliciousness.
Late sixties in a community hall off Portobello Road. Hairy & folky (all of us) They were pretty bad (But there was a lot of competition in those days) So I ignored 'em for 40 years. Narrow minded eh wot?
Lips, Are You A Hypnotist?. I'm probably late to the game & you've
already done it. Those last notes there just triggered the connection
to me.
