RichardB Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Amy Allison, a Long island girl who used to live in Sheffield. The title track from her forthcoming album is this love song to the city called Sheffield streets. ---------------------- Being a certified miserable old person I had the sound muted - but - some fine images. http://sheffieldblog.com/category/history/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MA, It's the 42 Lowedges at the top of Waingate, the old townhall can bee seen in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Pond Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 A 'distinctive' voice, but gets bonus points for getting "a pint of Stones" in the lyric whilst being an American country-ish singer, plus, I've heard of her dad. Quite a nice selection of photos on the video (including a bus!) Amy Allison: Sheffield Streets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy Allison: Sheffield Streets Excellent post love the video and the song perhaps one of moderators could adopt it and embed it into the site to play in the background but i suppose that would not be aloud due to copyright and royalties pity..

Henry Pond Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Mentioned before And I did do a search before posting to check as I thought the picture of the 42 wouldn't have escaped the net very easily. Why didn't I spot the other thread ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn't I spot the other thread ! I think I can answer that Henry. As with other search engines, search for "Amy Allison" in inverted commas, will give results containing the exact phrase. You probably entered Amy Allison without the commas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markbaby Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I like the song, the sentiments and the video, but the voice...................... As I was playing it my wife shouted in from the kitchen "Is that the Simpsons?" :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THYLACINE Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I like the song, the sentiments and the video, but the voice...................... As I was playing it my wife shouted in from the kitchen "Is that the Simpsons?" I've loved this song ever since I first heard it a few months ago, I am learning the words to sing them in the car driving to work. She's definitely more Bob Dylan than Lisa Simpson and the Sheffield she sings about is the one I left so I have an emotional attachment. I'm sending the link to everyone in my address book. Sheffield Streets The flat was cold so I would walk around I felt so old but how I loved the town! I walked so far up and down those hills I saw the moors I saw the mills I felt alone but oh, it was so sweet when I would walk Sheffield streets The wind would blow it really chilled your bones a take-away a pint of Stones the steel gray sky buses whizzing by cathedral bells the brewery smells I felt alone but oh, it was so sweet when I would walk down Sheffield streets Glossop Road Spital Hill Castle Gate the Crucible Chapel Walk Division Street the Wicker and the old Leadmill I found a pub and curled up like a cat I wrote a song on a beer mat Nether Edge Sharrow Vale Oakdale Road and Abbeydale Hunter’s Bar Eccleshall Barker’s Pool the Cutlers’ Hall I felt alone but oh it was so sweet when I would walk down Sheffield streets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
