liberty
'This is a lyrical gem set in an iron melody.' FOLK MINER The MotherLode ther's a fire burning east to west i smell smoke but it aint here yet.... Liberty proved to be one of the most uplifting songs on the album. First written in the late nineties, it seems poignant and ahead of its time speaking of freedom, the divide between the east and west, terror, and how liberty is a debated issue. This was written prior to the September 11th bombings, and before songs on every issue of liberty became a

SHORES
S is for Shores - We love Pip and Merry, that deep resonant vocal is so soothing, the song is comforting even though the sentiments are sad - no surprises musically apart from the slight rise when you were expecting a fall. It's Folk but it's almost hymnal. Merry is there reassuringly in the background. I don't think this duo could ever have a bad song, they are tight and tuneful. Yo

into the storm
Into the Storm is a ballad. It aches, it groans and cuts right into the heart of separation. Sometimes i never quite knew whether Philip was singing about a love lost, or a separation with his God. Either way, it is powerful

PETROVITCH
Petkovich is really the sole protest song. Recounting the horror of a killer during the Serbian-Kososvan conflict. This is a gritty subject, and in an age that loves to sing of horrors in the West, few singers got to grips with the uncomfortable stories that came out of that conflict

HUSH A BYE
Hush-a-Bye is a sweet song. I asked Philip about this, and he recounted how he wrote this early hours of a morning when bent over by a crippling, but passing problem after surgery. He explained he wanted to write a lullaby his mother might have sang to him as a young boy to comfort the pain, what he produced is a beautiful and simple ballad called Hush-a-Bye

Pip,

I just looked at my page and saw your post about David. I am so sad to hear that he passed away.

Rest assured that my thoughts and prayers are with you. A person's child should never pass ahead of the parent.

I can't imagine the grief you must be feeling.

well, we just caught a few tunes here, and what beautiful harmonies we heard on the tracks Into the Storm and Safe in His Angels Arms. Of course we went straight for anything that smacked of country gospel/country spiritual, our favourite country genres (gram parsons xxx). We got limited time now but we’ll be back, oh yes!

thanx pip, say, i can't stream until i can get money for a new computer (on a borrowed 10 yr old emac thingo which doesn't even load the kiac mp3 player), so if you send me a Pip and Merry CD to 803 Boyle Rd Coffee Camp, Australia 2480 and a return address, I'll send you a copy of our album which has rainbow cafe on it (thanks so much for that add).
