EDEN
"Dressed in my finest white,
I reach the aisle and smile,
for I see my love.
To have him is enough.
Blessed by my father's hand,
crowned in flowers of this land,
I walk towards my love
framed in golden dusk.
Just as the Mountain's river,
my heart swiftly races,
just as the river after the rain,
and when I look upon you,
I lose all my graces
as when we first met in the rain.
Every step I took since then,
I'd take again."
DAWN
"Led by an amber glow,
I follow o'er the snow
with my fervent love
and our little ones.
Left with a final hill,
I sprint with my fading will.
Then I see the bride
steeped in dance 'round the fire.
Just as the Mountain's river,
my heart swiftly races,
just as the river after the rain,
and when I reach your embrace,
I laugh and can't contain it,
as when we first played in the rain.
Every step I took since then,
I'd take again."
EDEN
"Dear Dawn, sister, traveller, brave one, friend.
Am I dreaming? Have I lost my head?
From Aurora,
my wild-eyed baby sister,
to you, Dawn,
the eldest one.
I feel the richness
claimed by my parents
to have all my family
within my arm's reach."
'Round the fire, Rio made his choice,
as his sisters, parents, friends rejoiced.
RIO
"Now's the time.
I can't bear goodbyes.
I feel Mount March
calling me on!
Into the dark,
I shall depart
to reach the Peak
that has chosen me."

At first glance, the landscape on the cover of Martin John Henry’s The Other Half of Everything is a scene of complete isolation. This is Scotland. An archetypal rugged landscape of hills and lochs, as far as the eye can see. On closer inspection, there are some signs of habitation: buildings, roads, farms… but they … Continue reading Album of the Week: The Other Half of Everything → Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 21, 2011
