Dimming of the Day, such a wonderful song.
Such a beautiful love song, and so many great versions of it out there:

One of my favourite songs. While I like most of the takes above, I don't think anyone, including Richard, has ever matched the painful beauty of Linda's original performance.

I'd love to write one great song like that. Richard has tons of them. A true songwriting genius.

Brilliant songwriter and a ridiculously good guitar player. Must be nice waking up as Richard Thompson every morning.
