10000 Maniacs - Who Knows Where The Time Goes? Lyrics

I love Mary and the rest of the 10k Maniacs.

Love 10000 maniacs.

Thanks, Dee Dee!

In about 1994 I was in Manhattan on the Brooklyn Bridge, not good at dates. There was a group of young people and looking like very professional camera equipment. Being from Minnesota and not around major international places like NYC I figured it must be a music group and very famous. I on the side asked one of the crew and he said 10,000 Maniacs. I thought probably not my kind of music and now years later I hear this and wow, my kind of music! I subscribed. One really behind the times! Do you think I saw them filming like a video that later went with their music? Does anyone know if one of their music videos has them on the Brooklyn Bridge? Thanks for posting this 10KMTV!!

Better late than never, right? It could have been some of the video for These Are Days, but that would have been shot in 1993. Thanks for joining!

Gorgeous rendition of Sandy Denny’s quintessential masterpiece. 10,000 Maniacs honors her memory perfectly.

We love Sandy.

Beauty in a word: Mary.

Yes, indeed.

Superb. You can be very proud of this. You do the song untold justice.👍👍👍

Thank you. We're actually even better these days.

Great job

Thank you.

WOW WOW WOW!

From a mad ken 76yo Aussie fan.

Thanks, Thanks, Thanks!

What Steve said, said, said.

Beautiful

10,000 Thanks.

Oh my God you're beautiful , I mean all of you are , the song I mean . . . . are beautiful .  Oh you know what I mean . Thank you

Thanks, Gary. It is a beautiful song written by Sandy Denny.

She has quite a story . Your welcome , the honor is mine you have one hell of a story yourself  (plus I was born March 2nd 1963 haha) Thank you so much 10KMTV  Bye   ~:-}>

Thank You

Spendid rendition! Faithful and personal at the same time. Gave me chicken skin more than a few times.

Thank you.

I have yet to hear a unacceptable version of this song. Mary is quite good, I've never seen her before this. And the production is outstanding.

Thanks. It's a great song.

Competent version of a timeless song but 10,000 Maniacs without Natalie are not a 10,000th of the band.

Gee, thanks! We'll deposit your review in the circular file cabinet.

Absolutely beautiful,OMG!

That's as good a cover as you will ever hear. I loved it.

It's a good song to cover. Thanks, Mitch.

@10KMTV Sandy would have loved to hear that.

It would have been nice to hear Natalie and Sandy Denny sing this together, RIP Sandy

very nice version

She's definitely got the feeling of the song.

Beautiful version, a pleasure to listen to....

Breathtaking. I'm seeing them live tonight!

Absolute beauty!

I think this is a lovely version that does the original justice

It's not easy covering a Sandy Denny song. We love SD.

As with all great songs it's not a matter of who's best it's a matter of preference . With so many versions of this & the bar at which Sandy & Fairport Convention set you wont find a more beautiful feel than they put into it. Some songs can only have one person that makes it stand out as a timeless piece & Sandy Deny sure made this the special number it is. With Richard Thompson 's exquisite melodies & Leads it's just a simple fact it was they that had that special magic this song creates . As a musician myself i don't believe in who's best or this solo is best or this is the best version but in some cases as with any art there can only be one artist that coined as classic piece of music & Sandy & Fairport did that with this . Many great renditions including this one all have their differences but truth & musical history will have Fairport Conventions & those incredible vocals of Sandy Deny as the original masterpiece that made this tune have the feel of the time & feel in which it was written & recorded in. Some times it just is what it is. No matter what you do when you change the song to reflect your personal take & feel you alter the true feel of the song good or bad . I do believe if not always the original is the best as it's the purest feel that particular group or artist had in mind. Tough to play Jimi Hendrix the way he played or change his versions and say i did a better job than him. Maybe different but not the way he did it. All this is just my opinion & i would not tell someone else if they preferred a different version they would be wrong ,it is about personal preference to a point.

U have hit the nail on the head. Couldn't have put it better myself

Yes, indeed. We love Sandy Denny and this song. We enjoy playing it so we do. It really doesn't matter to us what other people think of our version but we don't expect people to think this is better than the original. Hard to top that! Thanks for being a music fan.

If I had been in the audience, I would not have been affected by gravity during this song.

Thanks.

Good! Beautiful voice! See you too: Who Knows Where The Time Goes - Eva Cassidy Live at Pearl's

Joe Boyd produced a lot of Fairport Convention and 10KM's The Wishing Chair. IMO this is a great rendition of what may be Sandy Denny's "signature" tune .

Mary's viola sounds just as pristine as her voice.

Why do so many people on YouTube have to say which version of a song is "best"? There are so many brilliant musicians out there, and each of them are unique. We all have our personal favourites, but why this need for league tables? This is a beautiful version of a great song.

absolutely agree just sit back and enjoy

I agree...why this mania to compare very different artists? One must be better than the others, according to their simple minds.

I hear what u r saying,and u r so very right. This is a truely beautiful rendition of a beautiful song. She does Sandys version true justice. The accompanying musicians do great justice to the Brilliant Fairport Convention. Love it

Never listened to this lot but this is class, will investigate their back catalogue.

@bigmagic96 @bigmagic96. Yeah they are very good,im the same heard of them but hadnt listened to much of their other stuff. This is the beauty of youtube,you are always discovering new and great music. Check out The white Buffalo song called The Getaway and wish it was true. They just blew me away. Also joshua Jones song called The Coal Wars,absolutely great.

Judy collins sings it better than all !

@SuperAnimelover100 Have you told Judy?

@Steven Gustafson I wish i could tell goddess judy collins :)

While nobody can do it like Sandy, MR displays depth as a vocalist that is truly amazing.  A beautiful version of a remarkable song.

This is a much better version

written by Sandy Denny when she was still a teenager.   I believe that she would be very happy with this rendition.

I believe she would be happy. It is the best version I've heard, next to Sandy's. I've listened to a lot of people cover this. No one even comes close to Sandy's version, but this is very good.

Great cover. Would love to hear the band cover more Liege and Leaf tunes. I recall the old band doing a cover of Crazy Man Michael, too (it's somewhere on one of my Wild Violin Favorites playlists on my jazzmessenger123 channel. Dave Swarbrick's fiddling was something else. For some more Buffalo fiddling and the like, you're invited to visit my jazzmessenger123 page.

Well done I see that this is still a good live band.

Wonderful performance from all. Truly amazing. Mary rules! Such a beautiful voice!

Hat's off to Mary! The studio bonus track was nothing close to this.
Fairport play it now much the same way and this is as close as it gets to my heart! I am looking forward to hearing the NEW CD.
Are their autographed copies to go next to the last one?

I think the song is awesome no matter who sings it.

Thank you. We have a new album out! Music From The Motion Picture.

Lose is a good way to put it. We always had a tendency to tighten up when the recording red light went on in the studio. Fear, doubt, producers, all made us squeeze the sticks. John Lombardo is a big Fairport/Denny fan and he introduced us to that lot.

Great Version. I believe Joe Boyd produced Fairport's legendary Liege and Lief album.
You could not have picked a better band to cover. Excellent job!

I think you guys have become lose enough to let the phrases of Sandy's lyric work for Mary to deliver the goods! You could cover more Sandy. "Nothing More" or " It suits me Well" could be fun.
I thought Lombardo was the Fairport Fan? Great to see there is life in my friends from Jamestown.

This was wonderful. Thanks for sharing...

What do you know?

Damn it Mary.....First you blew my mind with you're remake of " These are the days "....and now despite my critical eye I have once again been mesmerized by that Siren's voice! I pride myself on critical analysis and you just shut me down every time!

Beautiful....wonderful....exquisite!

JO

We hope you say for another year.

Thanks. It had been years since we last played this song.

Beautiful.

special

Very nice

@rickl3000 Thanks for that. No one can do it like Sandy. Fairpot Convention and Sandy Denny are big influences on us. We got to play two nights with Fairport in the late 80's at the Lone Star Cafe in NYC. We were stunned. Our producer on The Wishing Chair was Joe Boyd who worked with those guys. Thanks for watching and listening.

10KMTV Typo....Fairport

Sandy Denny and Fairport Convention set a mighty high bar, but y'all did a fine job with it. And the viola didn't hurt a bit. :)

I've been saying for years that I want that song played at my funeral.

You & me both, Rick, but I live (and will presumably die) in Catalonia and nobody in my adopted family will understand it! (And I'd also love one of the Dead's epic Dark Stars...) So I'll have to settle for Mozart, Beethoven, maybe Paco de Lucía, I don't think Sandy will mind...

Paul David Martin, I played Judy Collins version at my mother's funeral. Plan to have Sandy's version with Fairport, and Ripple by the Dead at my funeral. I don't think good music has to be understood...I say go for it!

Thanks Steve for another 'gem' - best wishes for the January recordings. Look forward to hearing the new material and seeing 10KM in 2011.

With stalkers like you who needs fans? We'll be looking for you next summer.

Thank you SG!
