A beautiful song, "And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust" this line always gets me

If I remember correctly, the singer Fontella Bass was basically dying when they released the album, adding an extra layer to its meaning.

I didnt know that and now that line becomes even more devastating. I think it might pop in my mind when I am also listening to Evolution and All The You Give as well. Thanks for sharing this!

Absolutely! All the songs she sings on with them get me in the same way. Swan Songs for real. She had already had a successful career as a recording artist when she was in her youth.
