about
[Originally taken from "Songs from the Solway EP" 2011]
The "Songs from the Solway" EP was a record which was recorded mere weeks after "Road to Darkness" - in fact we recorded 2 LPs and one EP in that year!! This particular track was a folk re-recording of a pirate-metal song that originally featured Luke on Vocals.
When we did "Solway", the idea was to re-tell all the folklore of Cumbria that had somehow been lost through the ages in a few short songs. As such a folk music vibe seemed to go hand-in hand.
The lyrics, originally a William Wordsworth poem, were sung by our old friend Beccie Watson, who would later appear on the "Day in the Life of a Universal Wanderer" LP.
We love this version so we've left it untouched, recorded in only two takes, it's a great song to sit back and chill out to!

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!

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...
