about
This track is a re-working of a song from the "Road to Darkness" LP, with William Wordsworth’s (a good Cumbrian lad) poetry set to music. The original featured Luke adopting a Dirge-like tone and pirate metal refrain but with this re-recording we took things back to the original folk/pastoral feel I originally envisioned - with our long-time friend, Beccie Watson, providing the vocals.
lyrics
She dwelt among the untrodden ways
Beside the springs of Dove,
A Maid whom there were none to praise
And very few to love
A violet by a mossy stone
Half hidden from the eye!
Fair as a star, when only one
Is shining in the sky.
She lived unknown, and few could know
When Lucy ceased to be;
But she is in her grave, and, oh,
The difference to me!
Beside the springs of Dove,
A Maid whom there were none to praise
And very few to love
A violet by a mossy stone
Half hidden from the eye!
Fair as a star, when only one
Is shining in the sky.
She lived unknown, and few could know
When Lucy ceased to be;
But she is in her grave, and, oh,
The difference to me!

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...
