...a conversation with the keeper of the cauldron of inspiration! Also from the new album "Ravensong", featuring the beautiful and evocative whistle playing of Robert White, as well as a lovely ethnic vibe created through the rhythmic and melodic interplay of the bass and the marimbula.
Climbing up on Roundton Hill I see a raven in the sky
Gliding on the thermal he twist, turn and catch my eye
He croaked “I know why you’re alive”
Now the keeper of the cauldron said “Wake up child feel the ground
Yes you are of flesh and blood but more of light and sound
And I will teach you how to live in now”
Here I stand up to sing the four directions in and be a voice upon the wind
I hear you calling from the borders of my dreams and I feel like we are kin
We are kin
My back upon the Aldryss my eyes upon the stars
I hear the music of the spheres between the isobars
It’s a sweet star lore to the crystal core
My arms around the old black bark of the Hawthorn in flower
Maiden mother crone you are oracular in power
From you I learn it is my turn
Here I stand up to sing the four directions in and be a voice upon the wind
I hear you calling from the borders of my dreams and I feel like we are kin
Oh Lady I’m alive I can feel the power in my spine
I have my horses in hand and my time is mine
Here I stand up to sing the four directions in and be a voice upon the wind
I hear you calling from the borders of my dreams and I feel like we are kin
We are kin
Climbing up on Roundton Hill, yeah yeah yeah
