It’s amazing to know that some people still listen to Ms. Hopkin’s „Kew Gardens“ and „Fields Of St. Etienne“ so seriously after all these years, obviously those are very sophisticated and sentimental fans, I’m so proud to be a great fan of Ms. Hopkin from the beginning of her career…
Mary’s new CD was released this week „You Look Familiar“ you can obtain it via her official website maryhopkinDOTcom
She is sounding better than ever.
all the best

I heared about it alot…very beautiful
I heared about alot…very beautiful
The lyrics after—“The sun was warm, across the lawns—Sented—blended, He saw her linger and with her finger“—Etc;
Wonderful track from a wonderful singer. I have the very rare 2Cd „Six lands of fantasy“ from her!
Several other sites say ‘Scented. blended’ and is probably the correct lyrics as written by Ralf Mctell. Sorry for the essay but I felt the need to share my findings lol.
I have been looking it up with my husband and we found one other possibility. A few forums/sites have suggested those words to be ‘Fantare, Lantare’ and on further investigation believe Fantare is a place name (in Glenkeen, Tipperary). Lantare, as far as I can tell, is a mystical or magical place (non specific). Although it sounds nice, fits the ideals of the song and also sounds like what she sings…
Cool, thanks. I’ll update the lyrics.
I’ll also continue watching this space =)
Thanks for the interest, I think these are the words, if not try richpat,
The sun was warm across the lawn
Scented blended
He saw her linger
And With her finger open up a rose,
Standing on tip toes
Does anyone know for certain what the lyrics are in the 2nd verse after ‘The sun was warm, across the lawn….’?
Its 2 almost rhyming words but for all the years I’ve listened and sung along to Mary and this song, I still can’t make out those 2 words =(
I’ve put the rest of the lyrics onto Super Lyrics but had to ….? for the spot i’d usualy mumble lol
very nice!
my goodness. this song is absolutely lovely. Marys voice is so flawless here, here there and everywhere.
I love this video really absolutely.
It’s happy for you that your mum is still enjoy YouTube by herself! My mum will be 84 on this autumn 17/9. What my sister has had a book „Bulbs“ from Royal Kew Gardens greatly surprised me recently.
Enjoy my ch. too. Newest video is Temma Harbour with G/L from Expo gorgeous MH Show 1970.

Hello again Pat
No I have not heard that song by G&L.
I agree their songwriting really matched Mary’s vocal arrangments. I feel as if I am in dream at the moment. Only recently moved into the 21st century at home with my new Laptop. The great thing is that my mother Emma (who was 89 on 22/4)has really enjoyed the videos on You Tube and has shown great interest whenever I play any song by the lovely MARY HOPKIN. Mary’s music was the soundtrack to my early years. Thankyou Pat for your site
lovely comment…
I wish she had recorded more Ralph Mctell and Gallagher and Lyle songs…
have you heard „15 summers“ by G&L
I would have loved to hear her sing that..
Almost forgotten how beautiful this recording is. Calm and relaxing is how I feel when I listen to the angelic voice of the one and only MARY HOPKIN. There is no one out there to match the outstanding vocal talents of Mary. She is a beautiful lady with a great gift. Thanks Mary for making some great recordings over the years. Welcome back to the music scene where you have sadly been missed. Good luck with the new CD ‘Now and Then’. Love and respect to you Mary, Jessica and Pat
Yes, me too agree with you!
I have „The Bulbs“ translated into Japanese one since 10 years ago, that my sister have bought at a department store downtown Ikebukuto/Tokyo.
H.M.M. Kew Gardens send me a letter of their own at every seasons.
Crockus Carpet in the Kew Gardens maybe now full blooming, arn’t they? Sakura trees are of full bloomin today in my town 08/4/09. We eats Satsumas (a Japanese orange sweeter than orange, Satuma is UK-English word. We say Satsuma for potetos for sweet poteto.
Yes I agree…
Have you heard her last 3 CD’s?
She has her own label now „Mary Hopkin Music“ and has been releasing her back catalogue from 1972 to the 1980′s all wonderful songs
All the best

Mary Hopkin is one of my favorite singers. She was one of the best song interpreters. Almost all of her recordings were perfectly interpreted. This is one of my favorite Mary Hopkin songs. I could never understand why songwriters did not write songs for Mary to record in the mid 1970′s and 1980′s which could have been major hits, as her voice was even better when she matured in the 1970′s.
That’s good to know. I was just referring to her desire to stay out of the public eye, that’s all!
She has never been away
2005 she released,Live at the Royal Festival Hall, in Dec 2006 a Xmas song called Snowed Under then May 2007 she released an album called Valentine With 12 previously unheard tracks dating from 1972 to 1980 three of which were written by Mary
November 2008 recollections was released it includes 2 songs written by Mary Also a CD EP of Christmas songs a re-mastered Mary Had A Baby and Cherry tree Carol from 1972 and Snowed under a new song from 2006
