1.
I met a man with a one eyed pet crow he had a dog he’d trained to talk he kept a goldfish in his hat his smile was marigolds I asked him how he lived? he said I drink the dew from the fields nature is my bread and wine nature is my concubine the sacred maiden I tell her my secrets and she shows me how to survive now many years have passed but I often think about that man as I sit by this desk of stone worry fills one half of my days trouble fills the other half
2.
my horse was a very fine horse my horse was a very fine horse with mane of blossom and snow we rode through the town with not a care in the world we plunged through the emerald stream in a world before the motorways came we would go to the orchard deep to fill our baskets with stolen apples horsey horsey I wont forget you
3.
The Visitor 03:07
a fox appeared at my window a fox appeared at my door it said come with me to the apple green sea a fox appeared in my bedroom a fox appeared in the candle flame it said come with me we can dance on the ruby red shore it said it knew my name but I was young and afraid a fox appeared at my window it said come with me to the bottle green sea
4.
Poor Tom 02:18 video
one day I stood in the supermarket a fire burned in my head so I went to the wood and I drank the moss but the fire continued to burn poor tom poor tom where has he gone? he sings by the side of the rambling shore where the stars eat the moon and the sun I passed the workhouse on the hill where the birds never sing I passed the mill that grinds the corn I sat by the side of the stream my aching bones were full of light what was happening to me I sang by the side of the rambling shore where the stars eat the moon and the sea
5.
the fox and the wren meet by the well the woman with red hair pinched a stalk of corn and the summer was gone
6.
all day in the town I sweep my broom swish swish all night in the dark I sweep my broom swish swish keep the stars bright keep the road clean swish swish

about

Album Notes

Mystery leaves a stronger mark than facts on our imagination. Songs are the deep well in forbidden orchards, ringed with echoes and unfinished journeys. Cast your leaking bucket into the black space behind the eyes and see what gets hauled back up. Rocks, dead frogs, whistles, hats. Reflections covered in mud and stars.

I recorded these short stories one after the other and they emerged as complete as they were unknown. It felt like an ambush by my own shadow. Something clicked into place, moon bones in the rainbow's skeleton. Landscapes and voices brushed upwards against the light before dissapearing. They said: creative survival is what it's about.

Keep loafing. Who knows what you'll find? Stolen apples, lost crowns.
