Pack my sorrow up and give myself away to some novel adventure, the seven seas I'll sail.
I'll be a seafaring pilgrim, there'll be no compass for me,
if I partner the ocean and I quiver knock-kneed.
While the tides they rise around me and I know that it's time to go,
the tides they rise around me and I know that it's time to go.
Oh, how landlocked lies London, but there's a tune whistled still,
down cobbles and amber and all along the fey Primrose Hill.
Hark the tides rise to offer me, some escape from her verse,
If I roll on the ocean, I'll be lost to her curse
While the tides they rise around me and I know that it's time to go,
the tides they rise around me and I know that it's time to go.
Hallelujah I know now, lord it's now that I know,
oh, the roll of the jetsam and the ebb and the flow,
Hallelujah I know now, lord it's now that I know,
oh, the drift of the treasure, I've been asleep in the hold,
while the tides they rise around me and I know.
You may remember me fondly, you may bid me farewell,
you may speak of my legend and all your friends you can tell,
whenever I've shoreleave, you'll see how different I'll be,
with my port and my starboard and all the secrets I've gleaned.
While the tides they rise around me and I know that it's time to go,
the tides they rise around me and I know that it's time to go.
Hallelujah I know now, lord it's now that I know,
oh, the roll of the jetsam and the ebb and the flow,
Hallelujah I know now, lord it's now that I know,
oh, the drift of the treasure, I've been asleep in the hold,
while the tides they rise around me and I know.
Blue Rose Code is a band led by Edinburgh-born songwriter Ross Wilson. At the edge of contemporary alt-folk, Wilson's music evokes a meeting of Van Morrison and a young John Martyn, both shipwrecked with a bunch of Motown records.
Rachel is a unique music essence. Her music and voice touch me really deep. I lived in Scotland for 2 years and she is able to bring me back there with her music. Rachel is a wonderful gift to the world. Andrea Agricola
Thanks for the beautiful music Karine and Dave. it's been a while since I've felt so emotional listening to a new album. Every lyric is so beautifully supported by the piano parts. Laura-Beth Salter
Irish singer-songwriter Oisin Leech's acoustic folk music is characterized by its muted beauty and intimate, solitary quality. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 16, 2024
A gorgeous journey through a kaleidoscopic array of sonic approaches melted together that feels old and new at the same time. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 5, 2024
There's a similarity in song writing between Richard Thompson and Hugh Cornwell which maybe isn't surprising as they went to the same school at the same time, although Thompson is older.
Due to Thompson's association with John French of Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band I searched for his work on the Bandcamp app. French, Thompson and Cornwell all have albums on the app which I'm very pleased about. Only Thompson has released contemporary albums, much to his credit. yellowcakeuf6
