Being lost is profound.

To be lost is not to be in a state of helplessness or distress, but rather to embrace the notion that wilderness is all around us. That there is magic in the forest. That we inhabit a planet full of other worlds. That there is euphoria in rain. Enlightenment is to find yourself lost, to relish the glowing embers of a rosen sunset and to venture deep into an abyss in search of unearthly things. 

Transcendence comes from acceptance that the most solid foundations begin with the intangible.

That to see is to explore the ethereal realm that can’t be held by our hands. That to hear is fundamental, but to listen is revolutionary. Beauty lies not in the beholders eye, but in the minds of all of us, the lost beings hurtling through space dust, spinning wildly and loving madly, eternally…

The Mist (w/ CloZee)

You do not heal by filling a void with something else. 

You heal by recognizing that this void is part of you 

Heal by learning from the emptiness that is felt when you loose something close to your heart. 

Falling apart is just an opportunity to reassemble the pieces in a more efficient and powerful way. 

PS…

Fuck a wedding ring I bought a necklace.

Us Americans must show respect towards the one's who's land we stole to celebrate our freedoms. Over the Holidays I challenge you to think about who's land we stole and how many of those innocent people we killed and drove out of our society to eat that Turkey at our Thanksgiving Dinner Table. And I want you to think about how when the Females and People of Color had fought for equality for equal pay, rights such as sitting in the front of a bus like Rosa Parks, and etc. where the peoples land whos  land we've stolen, relatives we've killed, and people we've pushed out and rejected out of our government in order to even have the buses to allow us public transport, the businesses to have the "unfair pay", and the police stations that selfish and racist people abuse just to get a badge to shoot. There is no such thing as a non-racist American, and that there is no such thing as an immigrant on stolen land.

Much loved Yorkshire folk duo Belinda O’Hooley and Heidi Tidow have been propelled into newfound fame for penning the theme tune to Sally Wainwright’s hit BBC1/HBO drama ‘Gentleman Jack’, earning them global admiration, appearances on TV, Radio 4 Woman’s Hour and concerts that sell out months in advance.

Belinda and Heidi’s boundless songwriting has been described by The Guardian as ‘exceptional’ and The Independent as ‘defiant, robust, northern, poetical, political folk music for the times we live in.’ Their first full studio album in seven years; ‘Cloudheads’ delves into the mindscapes, passions and inner worlds of two highly individual autistic women; Belinda and Heidi. Moving, melodic, dramatic and tender, from stories of parenthood, the call of a song thrush, to a portrait of the last days of a touching relationship between their neighbour Matthew and his beloved Alsatian, Ted, and even a collaboration with Gentleman Jack herself, Suranne Jones on ‘The Ballad of Anne and Ann’, they explore, consider and connect subjects and stories in a distinctive, inventive and memorable way.

Having the originality and skill to invite comparison with the most celebrated harmony duos, 6 Music’s Tom Robinson says ‘They sing together in the way families do. Normally, you only get that closeness in the voices with family bands like The Coppers or The Watersons.’

‘I have just listened to your track, ‘Beryl’, with tears in my eyes! It’s beautiful and brilliant.’ Maxine Peake 

Nominated four times for BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards ‘Best Duo’.
