Well, that was interesting, I would never have guessed that.     

Once again, some clever lyrics and song writing skills Jim.  A sad song but one that would touch the heart of anyone going through relationship difficulties.     

Yes, a lovely song.  I loved her singing this in her youthful days, her voice was quite high in places then.  I found her in her later years singing it with friends, her vocals though much deeper, she still nailed it.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxiluPSmAF8     

That seems too unrelated to the song lol

Jim,  I listened to them both and I prefer version 2 better as well.     

At first, I thought it was the Huka falls but then I realized it was about a dam being built for the people and basically things had to die for the dam to be built.  At first, I thought the Clyde dame.  Kinda made me sad actually because that is what happens, sometimes something else has to die or give way to some new.  Using the fantail and wood pigeon in amongst the native bush by the newly to be built dam made its point visually as well as the lyrics.  However, as the song proceeded, I realized I was wrong and it was Manipouri dam, power station, which I have been to Manipouri but never to the power station.  I remember this song, but I never took the time to understand what it was about, or who the artist was until watching the video you posted.  Thanks for sharing Brian.  I have no idea who commissioned it, but it sounds like either the Greenies of some type of similar group OR the power station itself but I dont think so.     

Those lyrics! Awesome beamer!     

Interesting jazz version of F.M The Chain.  I enjoyed it but still prefer F.M`s original.     

Thanks Brian, for you doing this.  Though I am late to the party and have been MIA this month due to a family member in hospital and then passing away.   I am trying to catch up tonight all that I have missed on Chordie.  I hope you keep this up, it's been interesting and you have introduced me to some artists and songs I hadn't heard of before.  keep going, it interesting. 
Having said that, this is probably the only one so far that I don't like much.  Didn't like the style or much about it.
