Today -6 C and tomorrow snow but in four month's time the skylarks are once again back and singing over our fields. Can't wait!

“We were waiting for the right time to release it, and we feel the time has come - The single was recorded and finished in October 2021 - two years before the current crisis erupted. We decided to try a different approach than usual, go to the studio with the intention to address issues of politics and identity. This song, Fuck For Peace, is the result. A song about intimacy that goes beyond nationality and religion. May we find our ways back to love, again and again. Inspired by true events.”

Valley of Flowers Lyrics -

Roaming through,
The valley of flowers,
Careful with my feet,
Botanical powers,
Twirl around I see,
Archway of sun,
Fallen on my knees,
The flowers have won.

Crystal kisses,
From sunshine flowers,
Falling in the flowers,
Crawling in the flowers,
Sunshine kisses,
From crystal flowers,
Crystal kisses,
From sunshine flowers.

Pounce to my feet,
In the valley of flowers,
Careful with my toes,
Botanical powers,
Spin, swing and twist around,
Dancing having fun,
Fallen on my knees again,
The flowers have won.
