about

A wonderfully cruel traditional from the English north country, I believe. The melody is more or less my own. This track was previously published on the compilation CD "The Crests of the Avians Dance to our Vibes" from Celestial Jars Records.

lyrics

So, the girl asks:
"Have you seen owt of my bonnie lad?
And are you sure he's well-o?
He's been away long, with a stick in his hand
He's gone to ride the keel-o."

And the cruel North Wind answers:
"Yes, I've seen your bonnie lad!
It was on the tall ship that I spied him.
His grave is green, but not with grass,
And you'll never lie beside him."

about

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.
