Cool track.  Added to my Oct 21 Freak Radio playlist

Good song Darren! The choice of the title got my attention because I ve lived in Sweden many years...still I didn t know about the tragic history of Birgitta. Now I live in Sain and the church there had many dark episodes through centuries...Thank you for sharing

Darren this song is fascinating, to me.  The subject matter aside, the driving beat & the vocal treatment is what intrigues me.  Absolutely love it.

Wolves is a poem written by my brother Ciarán, I loved how descriptive and emotive the words were so put them to music and recorded it in an earlier acoustic version and here it has been transformed again by 2Rightly, his profile here-

Blessing Face

I saw them
working as
old schlepps
like you or me
postering as
flawed and human
but I know
they walk perfect
upon the earth  
ordained in shrouds
of shimmer
upon them
and when you are
not looking
they sing of
liberation
between
the moments
while blessing your
face with God

Blue Notes For Freedom

My sincerest gratitude to Nick R. Davies for his amazing skills as a writer and novelist.

We left late in the night with all the other kids from the street.  It felt exciting and strange. Strange because Mama was scared and Tato wasn't with us. Mama said he needed to stay to make us safe like all the other fathers. She kept holding me into her and rubbing my back. The bus was cold and noisy, some of the children crying, some singing and shouting. We left Brovary in the pitch dark and once the bus quietened a little I looked out of the window for cars and lights,  but there were few. I counted bridges. I remember five but I was sleepy and couldn't be sure. Our journey seemed to last forever. Each time we stopped I would ask Mama whether we were close,  but I don't think she knew. She was checking her phone a lot, but I think Tato must have been busy. I talked to my doll when Mama wouldn't talk to me anymore.

We arrived in Lublin in the early morning.  It was snowing and there was a big crowd of people.  They gave us food and blankets. I couldn't understand what they were saying. I had a hot chocolate and cake before we were taken to a hotel.

When I heard Mama on the phone and then crying, I was frightened. She went to cry on her own in the bathroom and I was sad I couldn't help. I left the hotel and walked for miles. I found a bridge. There were only four more to find before I could get back to Tato. I started calling for him. Over and over and over..with each step into the dark cold night.

When Mama and her friends found me, I was still calling for Tato.  I told Mama there were only four more bridges. No dear, she said, crying and shaking..there were many more you didn't see..there are too many bridges to see Tato. Too many bridges now and for a long time.

Lyrics
You never knew it
You never saw it
You never conjured spells

They were entranced in
All the voices
That carried on your love

But tempted by the
 fear and worship
You cast a wide eyed stare
Over the minions
And their wanting
But gave away your share

Lasses Birgitta


Everybody’s waiting waiting waiting
Trying to shake the flakes
 Everybody’s fighting lying loving
Trying to trap the snakes
Holding up your head today
Helping out the other side
Maybe you got taken taken taken
taken for a ride
Maybe you got taken taken taken
taken for a ride 
Maybe you got taken taken taken
taken for a ride


And the con men
 looks for a rube
 and names him aa a    friend
And the friend
 looks for an enemy
 To help them find a fool. 
And the fool begs
 for forgiveness
From being treated so cruel
For forgiveness for forgiveness 
It is the golden rule
For forgiveness for forgiveness 
It is the golden rule
For forgiveness for forgiveness 
It is the golden rule

Lyrics

Verse 1
I don’t see a way you could find it here….

refrain
You got the sunlight on your skin
You’re looking for a win
Nothing heals your sin
Babe it’s time to go
Babe it’s time to go
You know it’s time to go
Again

Verse 2
See the rain
on the window
Crashing down again
Three miles from where we began…

refrain
You got the sunlight on your skin
You’re looking for a win
Nothing heals your sin

Babe it’s time to go
Babe it’s time to go
You know it’s time to go
Again

Verse 3
Well the rain keeps falling down
Nothing left to see in this old town
So much sin bringing us to the ground……

Refrain
You got the sunlight on your skin
You’re looking for a win
Nothing heals your sin

Babe it’s time to go
Babe it’s time to go
You know it’s time to go
Again

Outro
I see the sunlight now
I see the sunlight now
I feel the sunlight on my skin

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Well I Know
Well I know
I feel the sunlight on my skin
Well I know
There’s something happening here

Sunlight for your sins
