about

I wrote this song just after Brexit, going into one of the lockdowns. Initially I imagined myself as a fox escaping the machinations of Whitehall, their constant bickering, returning back to the countryside. This prolonged stay in the countryside due to the pandemic took the lyrics in a new direction. This period was a terrible thing for millions of families. My song, however, is reflecting on this period away from work in a creative healing way. Recognising the healing power of nature.

lyrics

There's fire in your eyes
Can't believe we fell for the lies
We're running through field and glen
To get back home where the river bends
There's silver in the leaves
Feather's standing in the breeze
There's healing for you and me
The ghost white bark is still a mystery

Sunlight
Touches the ground
Scattered flowers, golden crowns
The Pied Piper is back again
Hopping and skipping like an old friend

Tread lightly on the earth
Holding you
Feel the sun at your back in the morning
Warming you
Hear the bird song in your heart
It'll carry you
See his smiling face as he runs to your arms
He loves you

Feels like coming home
Feels like coming home
When the machines of the city broke
The factories stopped their big black smoke
Where the hills grow wild
And where we used to roam
When the machines of the city broke
We found our way back home

It feels like it's been such a long time
You heard the rattle and hum of the city line
The concrete feels strange underfoot
You've been walking in grasslands, in the woods
Each tree is a beacon of hope
You're the Green Man in the big smoke
You look up see the moon in the sky
He's really singing about the new tide
