I started writing this song on my 20th birthday, and then I forgot it for a long time. It was time to finish it up. Now, when it's done, I'm glad it took me a while.

Lyrics
In the darkness, you keep hoping and living,
It’s all in vain, what you’d be doing.
Wandering in the city, what do you see?
Shadows running up and down the streets.

Chorus 1:
Without light, there is no meaning to life.
Without light, there is no meaning to life.

The Earth stopped spinning, it came to a halt,
The Sun doesn’t shine, it has grown cold.
You don’t know where your home could be now,
You need a way to make it home somehow.

Chorus 2:
The light is gone, it’s gone forever.
The light is gone, it’s gone forever.

Remember the times when there was still light,
People were happy, life was bright.
But since this ferocious war broke out,
We live in the dark it brought about.

The Light Is Gone

The most crowded cities resemble modern jungles where every day people struggle for survival

CHECK IT OUT! "Over The Sea To Skye": On All Streaming Platforms. Here's a landing page: https://linktr.ee/michaelfirthsellers

The song, "Over the Sea to Skye", is dedicated to the memory of Margaret Jenny Sellers née Peterkin (1923 - 2018). The photo shows her as a teenager in the 1930s. "Over the Sea to Skye" is also streaming on YouTube, Spotify, and many other streaming sites.

At the funeral of my mother Margaret Sellers, John Alderman (her grandson) and I sang "Over the Sea to Skye", a famous Scottish folksong made even more famous by being the Outlander series theme song set to the lyrics of Robert Louis Stevenson. As she was Scottish, this seemed a very suitable choice.

The positive reaction to our rendition encouraged us to record our version of the song under the name of "The Leatherheads". Unfortunately, distance and a pandemic delayed this until March of 2022 when we eventually recorded it under the experienced eye of the amazing Sergio Aguilar, who also arranged the music and played most of the instruments.

I should at this point acknowledge the influence Bear McCreary (who recorded the Outlander theme) had on our rendition. Thanks to him I realized that the Robert Louis Stevenson poem was infinitely more suitable for a farewell to a loved one than the original Bonnie Prince Charlie lyric. Following his lead, I changed the personal pronouns to reflect we were talking about a woman. I also went further and slightly modified the lyrics to fit the occasion (a funeral),and gave it a different arrangement to suit the fact that it was being sung by two people and accompanied only by a guitar, an arrangement largely followed in this recording, apart from the introduction of a counterpoint where I'm singing the chorus of "Will Ye Go Lassie Go" (also known as "Wild Mountain Thyme"), another old Celtic folk song, and the use of more instrumentation and the use of lead guitars rather than bagpipes (the excellent Sergio Aguilar, ladies and gentlemen!).

So, please enjoy what for us was a heartfelt adios to a wonderful daughter, wife, mother, and grandmother! 

lyrics
Chorus:
Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
Sing as we say goodbye
Merry of soul, she sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye
Over the sea … to Skye

Verse 1:
Mull was astern, Rum on the port
Eigg on the starboard bow
Glory of youth glowed in her soul
Where is that glory now?

Chorus:
Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
Sing as we say goodbye
Merry of soul, she sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye

Verse 2:
Give me again all that was there
Give me the sun that shone
Give me the eyes, give me the soul
Give me the lass that's gone

Chorus: Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
(And we'll all go together)
Onward the sailors cry
(To pluck wild mountain thyme)
Merry of soul, she sailed on a day
(All around the blooming heather)
Over the sea to Skye
(Will ye go lassie go?)

Verse 3:
Billow and breeze, islands and seas
Mountains of rain and sun
All that was good, all that was fair
All that was she is gone … gone

Chorus: Instrumental

Chorus:
Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
Over the sea to Skye
Over the sea … to Skye

BLAMELESS LYRICS:

seems we’re always on the run
even though we’ve no idea what it is we’re running from
sometimes its hard to see what’s right from what’s so wrong
and everyone seems innocent
till everyone has turned and gone
well
who could blame you
when there’s nothing in your hands
who could blame you
when all you want to do is…

we’re filling up this empty space
and losing count of all the things we’ve left to waste
losing sight of all those plans that we once drew
and living on the sidelines
has a way of blocking out the view…
who could blame you
when there’s nothing in your hands
and you’re blameless
when all you wanna do is…

dance away into the night 
its the only way
dance the day into the night
cos its the only way
dance away into the night
cos its the only way you can make it feel…
alright…


just when you think the race is done
you finally find yourself, back where you’d begun
it may not be life as you know it till you think it’s in your hands
and the evidence is circumstantial
when the evidence is left to chance

but who could blame you
when there’s nothing in your hands
who could tame you
when all you want to do is…

dance away into the night 
cos its the only way
dance away into the night
cos its the only way
dance away into the night
cos its the only way you can make if feel..
alright…

Blameless

I was born in Scotland and raised mostly in South Africa, but I have a deep connection with my Celtic roots.  Scottish and Celtic folklore are common themes in the songs I write, for example, my songs  'Warriors Cry' and 'The Clan MacDonald'.   In the past year after going through personal hardships like breast cancer and losing my beloved brother, my songwriting took on a darker tone, as you can see in the songs Death be not Proud, Stay a wee While, and Long Shadows. I am currently working on new projects which will be available shortly.
