PRAYER TO THE YEAR by LIZ OVERS
Prayer to the Year by Liz Overs - out for Winter Solstice 2024
Filmed and directed by Dylan Howitt in Friston forest and the Cuckmere valley.
Taken from the album Nightjar - available for pre-order from lizovers.com or bandcamp
Black is the nightshade and the feast of the crow
Eight is the secret that we never will know
And all is a tangle of river and root
East of the sunlight and west of the moon
Colours are brimstone, oak ash and thorn
Here in the valley with the ripening corn
A walk with the gorse flower is always in bloom
East of the sunlight and west of the moon
Blackthorn the winter, frost in the Spring
This year the rains came on a gatekeeper’s wing
Scarlet the garland, a prayer to the year
When summer is hiding in an old man’s beard
Gold is the promise in a sparkling flame
Copper the bracken sets the forest ablaze
Silver the birch tree will whisper a tune
East of the sunlight and west of the moon

BIRDS IN THE SPRING by Liz Overs
มุมมอง 681ปีที่แล้ว
The Birds In The Spring (Roud 356) is a traditional song of unknown origin, learnt from the singing of Sussex's George Pop Maynard (recorded by Peter Kennedy for the BBC in 1956) and of course the wonderful version by The Copper Family. The Nettle Dress, 'one of the most moving documentaries you'll see this year, director, Dylan Howitt, and textile artist, Allan Brown, weave together something ...

hegemony - chalk horse music
มุมมอง 1.4K4 ปีที่แล้ว
#chalkhorsemusic Hegemony has roots in traditional English folk and late 70s post-punk. We first heard it as a track on an early Scritti Politti release from a John Peel session, only realising last year that it was inspired by traditional song Sweet Lemeney. On the single we've used Gartside's lyric with the original folk tune. Video by Simon Barker: simonbarkerstudio.com 7" vinyl with digital...

This really deserves to be more widely known. There is something about it that captures a particular spirit of British folk music, but it’s taken a step further here. The whole feel of it, and the production - which is wonderful and silky - is lovely. Some parallels here between the North Sea Radio Orchestra, but each has its own thing. Really love this.
Found this on WPKN radio, USA. Gorgeous. Stunning. Thank you for sharing a piece of Sussex with the world ❤️
💚
I still love this track so much!
Heard this recently on radio6 , a magnificently melancholy song and a cracking video to go with it. The live version is so good as well. Thanks for posting.
Thank you : )
Has Giles Peterson even heard this yet ? Beautiful track.
I listen to his show, but wouldn't know how to get it to him. Thank you, Liz
@@chalkhorsemusic send him a copy via bbc in London I guess. I just thought I could easily imagine this playing in the middle of his show , when things are getting deep. (,Ha ! Unintended pun)
heard a track on gid coe tonight.
I return to hear this again and again. Soon good :)
This is wonderful. Thanks so much for making this hauntingly beautiful melody 😁
Thanks Albert :)
This is a cracking tune. You should be getting lots of attention with this quality - breezy,earthy, well honed folk, gorgeous melodies, melodies with a modern twist. I am listening to it until it becomes part of my psyche. Chalk horse music are a glorious band. Please play Ireland.
Really appreciate you leaving such positive feedback. Thank you.
Lovely! 38 seconds in looks like bees on an autoharp - now wouldn't that be a buzz.
Thanks :)
👏👏👏👏👏👏😳 My favourite song of 2018.
Hurray!
Will there be another video soon. To do with... Bees 😊.
