about

MOORSCAPE is the moody title track. It is probably more of a rock song than a folk song but somehow carries the spirit of the album. It is a warning to us all that this special landscape will only continue to exist if we begin to look after it properly. ‘Sights to see but not to speak of now’ is a comment about humankind’s tendency to put things off until it is too late. Check out the video of this stunning landscape here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOS7Xt-I_24&feature=youtu.be

lyrics

MOORSCAPE

Beyond the valley, beyond the fell
Sights to see but not to speak of…now

Beneath the clouds, beneath the sky
Sights to see but not to speak of…now

Shaped by folds of rock and time
Constant martyr to mankind
Now it’s for us to decide
Where its future lies

Fires burn, buzzards fly
Sights to see but not to speak of…now

Bitter cold, bracing wind
Sights to see but not to speak of…now

Shaped by folds of rock and time
Constant martyr to mankind
Now it’s for us to decide
Where its future lies

Distant storm clouds gathering
Sights to see but not to speak of…now

Weather systems whistle in
Sights to see but not to speak of…now

Shaped by folds of rock and time
Constant martyr to mankind
Now it’s for us to decide
Where its future lies
