I told my dad I’d climb that hill
That he said was too big for me when I was a girl
Twenty miles along my life it shows
How far into these boots I’ve grown
And I hate it, halfway up this hill
Oh I hate it
It was my bright idea
To be a part of this midge ridden mess
A stowaway blister living in my boots
Oh I’ve had it with these pests
And I hate it, halfway up this hill
Oh I hate it, halfway up this hill
Can’t take it trampling on my will
You’ll see me on top of this hill
Last stop before I turn around
Aches and pains are memories
But I’m still a child
Anchored by the cairn to the ground
And I’ve struggled to realise now
Struggle’s the reason I’m found
The reason I’m found
Halfway up this hill

Great Stone

Dusty are my fingers
Muddied my bog cotton socks
Etched upon my eyeline
Three hushed giants asleep
From this height, I can see
All the colours and grooves of the hills in the sky
Longer grows my shadow
As I step to the top cars passing by
A world away, from when we played
On the great stone
From this height, I can see
All the colours and grooves of the hills in the sky
All the while, I have been
Enamoured by others, who have different colours and grooves of the hills in the sky
Cold children play
Score their names
Old childlike ways
Dwell on those days
All the while, I have been
Enamoured by others, who have different colours and grooves of the hills in the sky
As the day’s, burning out
I feel for no other, but familiar colours and grooves of the hills in the sky
Colours and grooves of the hills in my sky

Bring The Tide In

For you, I’ll bring the tide in
For you, I’ll bring the tide in
Sleep out by the waves
Where I spent my childhood days
For you, I’ll bring the tide in
For you, I’ll bring the tide in
With you I’ve never known those storms
Where the fish hide and the boat masts howl and groan
For you, I’ll bring the tide in
For you, I’ll bring the tide in
Years pass, time plods on
Under those skies I don’t know where you’ve gone
For you, I’ll bring the tide in
For you, I’ll bring the tide in

Moors

Out there, the world it waits for me
The moors they swallow
Caught in my mind, hang it out on the line
But the cloud keeps me
Heather strewn, cobble like in a street
It trips me as I pass
Coarse through my feet, flowered lines cut deep
But the cloud keeps me

The Edge of the Land
by Katie Spencer
supported by 26 fans who also own “Bring The Tide In”
I first heard Katie Spencer on YouTube when she was featured on the For Bert Jansch playlist. Katie played her own song called Shannon Road. The lead break that she plays twice really got my attention. I became a fan instantly. Every track on this album is lovely. The whole listening experience is like a favourite film running through my head. I'm so glad that in my twilight years I discovered Katie. I wish her a long and succesful career in music.

Love the complexity of this track and the rising and falling of the violins, and the texture. Makes me want to dance. Thank you so much for this album. I really love it, and find it really inspiring my own work on the Witchcraft Trials ❤️

Pilgrim Souls
by Megan Henderson
supported by 19 fans who also own “Bring The Tide In”
Scottish folk centred around fiddle and piano. The album begins with Dawn Chorus, which slowly awakens to the rising sun. There are reflective compositions throughout, while Almost Home and Ascending lift the mood back up. I think Megan Henderson and Lauren MacColl should do a gig together.

The latest from the UK’s Chris Brain is a gorgeously wrought album of tender acoustic folk music.

The Same Mistakes
by Hot Left Pole
Soft-as-a-whisper folk music, with spiderwebs of guitar and vocal melodies as comforting as a lullaby.
