about

For Dorothea Schau who lost the last two of her seven sons on the 18th of April, 1864. I wrote this song and recorded it in a few quick takes, shortly after moving to Fanø.

lyrics

Seven young men, seven went off to war
She's collecting magpie bones on the shore
Magpie angels, bound up with feathers and straw
Seven angels came and went as before

Seven young men, all left and went off to war
Still collecting magpie bones on the shore
Magpie angels, bound up with garlic and straw
Seven angels, seven went off to war

Moongazing Hare Copenhagen, Denmark

I try to keep myself warm, calm, loved and out of harm's way. The music is desperately home made and mostly well-intentioned.
