John Martyn - Over The Rainbow Lyrics

John was a real genius full stop.love every one of his tunes (poems?) very privileged to have seen him in concert.Don't wanna get depressed to have lost him because his music lives for ever with us,and as far as i am concerned he is very much alive ! thank you John.

God bless you, John. I pray that you are at rest in the eternal presence of Jesus!

No other like you, saw you live 3Xs and each time left awestruck. We’re lucky to have witnessed you & continue to be soulfully moved by you. Miss your earthly presence though 💚🌈💚

i miss our john...

Beautiful indeed.

So moving , i miss you mr Martyn.

He was one of a kind. A lot of well known musicians knew he was the real deal.

Martin very good

Digital "flutter" on soundtrack, buts it's still outstanding

john was fucking amazaing--miss him--thank you

he had it. in spades. The Man. tears me apart with sadness that he's gone.

R.I.P. above all the stars and rainbows Thanks very much !!!

one of the greatests poets & artists of XX° century, also if many does't know him., Everythinng in his hands becomes shiny gold, Blues, Rock, Folk, Electronics, Progressive, Rock, Bossa Nova, Jazz & more

May all beings never be separated from the supreme joy beyond all suffering.

God them it, tears running over face ... Such an amazing rendition!!!! Thank you John!

Pure Magic .....

'Soul' really doesn't do his voice justice. It goes so much deeper than that. Unique and irreplaceable.

absolutely spine chillin.......

A little bit of love holy agreed

A little bit of love roll on john memories

john martyn is special....no doubt about it.

so beautiful, moves me to tears dear J

Love it , the best ever version , so miss not the big man

He was 1 of a kind, a true legend :)

It seems like everything he touched he made more beautiful ............. the crazy mother - much love to you John ;)

of all the comments here regarding Jon,,,,, yours brought tears to my eyes. "crazy mother" is right! I had the privilege of seeing him at The Bottom Line late in his life. He was drunk off his gourd. But when he got around to singing a song, only beauty emerged.

Bet he heard Ray Charles at some stage. Lovely!.

both men singing from the same hymn sheet & delivering 110%

I was a fan of John's and a fan of this song, but never heard him singing it, until the closing credits of a movie. I stayed seated in the theater until the last note. Does anyone know which film that was. Peace All.

Are you sure it wasn't "you don't know what love is "the Billie Holiday song which was played throughout the credits of the film "The talented Mr Ripley
If your playing fulham away with another woman that song will really make you cry. John must have been singing that to someone from his soul and heart
but well never know who. Its also the last track on the Glasgow Walker album
hope that helps

You might be right, I have heard Chet Baker's version of "You Don't Know What Love Is" many times, I don't remember John Martyn singing it, but I did see "the Talented Mr. Ripley".

when he played at Essex Uni my mate sold hin a packet of coke and he snorted the whole lot in one go. I also had the privlage of spendinding an evening with his mate Danny T who was in his alcoholic phase when I lived in Ipswich. Mad fuckers, but brilliant mad fuckers. This version is so so nice.

just breath taking

bellissime canzoni...ti portano indietro nel tempo......

Jeez, tears streaming ... Fuck I miss you John!!!

Makes me sad to think John is no longer with us, but his music lives on forever.

John's favourite song, so I'm told.

John Martyn could take the simplest piece of music and make it sound fantastic. This is a first-class example of what I mean!!
Thanks for EVERYTHING you wrote, John. Some of it was not my scene, but, at least it came from the heart!!

Wonderful, the Big Man at his best!

P1030365.JPG, my tribute to the man

Pure magic and the best backing track ever, massively missed

Which john martyn music site?

What a beautiful man.

The minute he open his lips, out tumble honey. Gave me a warm chill.

One of the truly great (and original) artists of our time

Certainly miss the man. Legend!! Still the other day my 7 year old daughter asked "Dad can you put on John Martyn" in the car!!!!

Timeless

This has me close to tears - awesome. I miss the Big Man so much, but his music will live forever.

I remember this concert as if it were yesterday.... I filmed it.

Which concert was this? This probably the most wonderful rendition of this song. Is this somewhere on CD, DVD? Thanks for all your help!
