With the constant barrage of noise from 'man made' things, fighting for our attention every waking second, many of us forget the soft call of natures voice.

Written after reading a quote from Roald Dahl about eye smilers, and photographs called 'Heavenly Creatures' by Benjamin Alexander Huseby of Behati Prinsloo, Felicity Gilbert and Romina Lanaro, showing two girls asleep, entwined in a summer field. Emily Grace Zornado recorded her beautiful layered harmonies and vocals at the height of summer, near a small national park in Danielson Connecticut.

Smiles With Her Eyes is the third track on the EP. It's been cleaned up and re mastered and is available for you to listen to now.

(smiles) With her eyes

when the pollen shoots climb
is the time to see the beauty arrive
under weeping trees, petals shake, anticipate
a smile in her eyes

then she arrives, flesh alive
in brighter skies, lay down beside
then let us lie
your legs entwined

when the forming fruit rise
see the morning sun and tomorrow arrive
honey bees in fields of blossom lakes
her skin awakes

and she smiles with her eyes
then she arrives, says she is mine
when spring is high, lay down beside
and see her smile with her eyes

Written by Russell Jeanes in a Yorkshire wood. Arranged and performed by the wonderful Emily Grace Zornado in America, to whom I will be forever grateful:)

Always wanted to try a mash up with Killing in the Name and Grange Hill theme. Messed about with Audacity and just had a laugh with it. Still very rough and I am no sound engineer!

Rage Hill

Ready To Die

From the new album 'To the Islands' by The Magic Lantern, released on 2 November 2018. 

'Darling Day' is about the unique kind of anxiety that comes in the middle of the night. In the darkness and the near silence of the pre-dawn, worries and fears can grow fill the empty space. When that happens I am almost willing the dawn to break, for some sound to tell me I’m not alone and for the first rays of morning light to give shape back to the dark. 

Drawing on a wide range of influences from folk, jazz and contemporary music, The Magic Lantern is dedicated to remedying the anxiety and fear present in us all. 

“Extraordinary. Beautiful poised singing, amazing lyrics and hypnotic production”
- Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6 Music

"Excellent, intriguing and compelling, a man to watch"
- The Guardian

"Gorgeous, beautiful. This stopped me in my tracks. Slightly surreal, in all the right ways"
- Jamie Cullum, BBC Radio 2
