This clip is a total gem. I saw Curved Air in 1973 when they played at Cardiff University. I was on the organising committee that booked them and got to meet the entire band including Sonja Kristina. She was stunningly lovely and extremely polite and gracious. The rest of the group behaved like absolute gentlemen. I will never forget that they wanted to find a tea shop, a contrast to almost every other band I encountered at the time which comprised drug-crazed, groupie-obsessed, ego-maniacs.

EVERYONE fell in love with Sonja. Oh, for these past forty years to fade away .....

OH MY BEAUTIFUL FOLK LADY...oh spirit of the woods....we love Sonja Kristina....WE DO

Aww Sonja, i first saw you live in the South west of England, you were BRILLIANT, will never forget that night, and after you finished the main Gig you went to play in a local nightclub and we were treated again to your beautiful voice,,,,,i think you changed my life that night,,,,,,,,if you ever read this stuff i hope you are well Sonja..

Opened for jethro tull in 1972 in Baltimore. 2 standing ovations. A great prog band.

A beautiful song sung by an exceptionally beautiful woman.. I've loved Curved Air for over 50 years and had the hots for Sonja from then on

Smashing girl, great performer, beautiful voice for a beautiful song. The beginning of the 70's was magical much thanks to music like this.

Wow! What a nice discovery. ❤️

The thing about Sonja is that not only is she beautiful and has a beautiful voice, but she seems to be a deep person. Intelligent, thoughtful, sensitive. What more could one ask?

Harks back to a time when there was a lot of great music 🎶

this is a classic

They were a magical band with a magical singer.

How this song takes me back to when i & most other lads at my school dreamt of Sonja Kristina, beautiful song, beautiful lady, top band Curved Air!

very good.................................................

The beautiful song bird voice of Sonja Kristina. I listen to this when I need peace of mind.

The sweet voice of Sonja Kristina....

1971 through 72 for me is the best period of Progressive Music, before it all got over done and whilst that special spirit was still very much in the air.

I used to see Sonja every year at the Croiissont Nuef Tent at Glastonbury Festival. She played this year after year there in the 90s. It was always brilliant !

Ah sweet Sonia, so beautifully played and sun, and still performing today.

13 people bothered to dislike this! Why? i fail to see how this track could annoy people enought for them to make the effort to dislike it. Nice track from one of the pioneering UK prog rock bands! Thanx for posting!

This song is just too beautiful. Just lay back in the grass, close your eyes and dream on. Mmm, thankful for this.

Hauntingly beautiful. Their best song.

Wow!! What have been missing ? Stunning woman, stunning song

This is impossibly beautiful (talking about the song though of course Sonya was great too). Don't you wish you heard something like this on "The Voice" for a change? That early seventies era contains so many hidden musical gems.

Beautiful song and beautiful Sonja.

When I read the title my first thought was both the style and title reminded me of Al Stewart's Almost Lucy.

She was so gorgeous back then.. Beautiful voice

Very nice 😊

Saw Curved Air twice in the early seventies, Saw them agaon at Sale Arts Centre last April (2012). Fabulous musicians and Sonja was absolutely brilliant, featuring this number during the set..

WTF?! How come I am just now discovering this??? No, I have not been under a rock! Wow! Gonna devour as much as I can!!

I saw Curved Air at London's Hammersmith Odeon in May of 1973. One of the best concerts of my life, with perfect hi-fi sound.

curved air was one of my favorites...kristina a part of the the sound and feeling of my youth, first time i saw her. great!

just love Curved Air..there ay many bands that wouldn't be a band without a certain individual and these are one.. yeah brilliant musicians in their own rights. without Sonia no Curved Air.. met her once.. delightful

Best song by curved air. Sonja on fire and a melody worth memorizing.

Yes! nicely quiet 🙂

How could one not falll in love with this fairy-queen od early prog?

Sonja che voce!!!

She was another of my Fantasies.

I loved this band back then. All there music up to the mid 70's was great. Completely underrated and not remembered now

amazing

This is absolute magic!!!!

Po prostu genialne.

It gives me peace.

Lovely Lady indeed!

Maravilloso

Sonja loved you in my teens lol,happy days,great music

sonja rulzzz.. sesi cok güzel ve duru..

I'll always love her -her photos are plastered all over my office and have been for over 30 years. Simply the best xxx

Beautiful Sonja... We miss you!

marvellous

When I was 14 in 70 This band and othr amazing progressive artist simply took my emotions and spirit far beyond my deepest imagination. i remember loving to listen to this song of Curved in the darkness of my room and drift away

My dad named me after her. :o) My name is Sonja Kristina too!

WHAT A RESULT!!!!....I'm really impressed!...First Band I ever saw.....Royal Festival Hall,South Bank,South London..1971/72....I remember rushing down the front and giving the "Peace" sign.....Francis Monkman/Darryl Way/Sonja...and how can U NOT like a Band with a Drummer called FLORIAN PILKINGTON-MIKSA!!..LOL MEMORIES!..Think I'm gonna cry!

Back in the 60s, Sonja came to our school, in Brentwood, as a guest singer of the school's Folk Music Society. She attended the girls' school just down the road - and was Sonja Shaw back then. I had no special reason to go, so I gave it a miss. Oh how I wish I could rewind the last 55 years!

Haunting music so beautiful 😀😀😀

beautiful song and woman singing it. never heard of it before. glad i found this gem.

Lovely lady falling, laughing down the glory of the rainbow Lovely lady reaching, crying for the comfort of the day-glow Melinda more or less, Melinda more or less Melinda more or less in dreams But if and when she wakes again, she knows it all begins again Sleeping, waking, rising, falling, dumb but calling out to deafened friends That's how it ends for Melinda more or less in dreams Fade Melinda, fade into fantasy Tell them you won't be played like any other instrument of fate Fade Melinda, into your fantasy Tell them you're not prepared to wait for your dream of the end Melinda more or less in dreams Lovely lady falling, laughing down the glory of the rainbow Lovely lady reaching, screaming for the comfort of the day-glow Melinda more or less, Melinda more or less Melinda more or less

Love it!

lovely music

Oh my gosh! I　never knew their film exsits!!! Great!!!

Just awesome amazing.Special Thanks!!

Chciało się kiedyś ludziom.. jeszcze.... Kochany głos, kochana muzyczka, łezka się kręci eech)))

The most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard. I was too young to have seen Curved Air (didn't discover their music till '84), so have yet to hear Sonja sing live; can't wait for her next gigs with MASK - her voice is still so lovely!

Canta autora compositora excepcional, voz angelical, belleza natural impresionante, no se ofendan cuando digo que ninguna de las cantantes populares de hoy en día (algunas hasta ridículamente calificadas como las mejores de todos los tiempos) le llega a los talones a la que considero la Mujer Pionera del Rock Progresivo, la gran Sonja Kristina y este temazo es un claro ejemplo.

i`m named after sonja this is 1st time i`ve heard her music love it cheers dad

One of the best ballands ever

Great tune. Thanks for sharing.

I love this song! of course I stumbled apon it bye accident but glad that I did. hehe my girlfriends name is melinda an I play it for her all the time! hehe gawd it embarrasses an agravates her hehe

From one of my favourite albums of the 70s, Phantasmagoria. Amazingly creative and original. This was a stand out track. Never realised it was Sonia Kristina actually playing the guitar part.

Beautiful Sonja Kristina and a beautiful song. I love.

Perfect - I remember these from our first UK music festival - Bardney in Lincolnshire - this band stood out.

Beautiful! Used to see them regularly in the eatrly 1970's....First group I ever saw in The Royal Festival Hall...1971/2....Wonderful memories!

beautiful song for peaceful earth

I WAS TURNED ON TO THIS WHEN I WENT TO GERMANY SO LONG AGO AND I LOVED THE VOICE ,A PURE QUALITY LIKE NOT MANY AT THAT POINT IN TIME I AM HAPPY TO SEE IT HERE MANY HAPPY HIGH TIMES I SPENT WITH THEM

My name is Melinda. I just stumbled across this song. Beautiful ,, haunting story. Lovely voice. I think Sonja sung this song about me. Its so close to home.

Sorry mate, I was 16 in 1972.. . .perfect timing but don't despair. . . all the music is still available for you to enjoy. Welcome to the golden era of prog!

see you don't have to yell and scream to get emotion across in your singing voice. Wonderful post. Thanks

Amazing! Saw them at the Greyhound in Croydon in early 70s. Incredible!

Amazing song from an amazing band.

Saw Curved Air Live at the Hardrock in Stretford.

I saw Curved Air at the Kursaal in Southend-on-Sea, Essex in 1972. They were excellent. Bright Summer's Day '68 was outstanding.

sonja rules! amazing soft voice!

The most beautiful woman in rock ever!

Himmlische Musik ❤️

way to go Sonja! Beautiful...

Please, kommt nach Kassel, Germany ❤

Beautiful song,backed up by fantastic atmosphere!

Great but were was the wonderful Violin break in the original.My favourite part of this lovely Song. First ever Concert aged 17:Royal Festival Hall,South Bank,South London.1971..Wonderful memories of a great time in England.. What happened to London and where did all the English go?

Alter, genau so war es !

I heard this song when the album "Phantasmagoria" first came out and even after all these years it still haunts me.
