The Ferryman (c) & (p) Jordan Reyne 2014

You ride again, and you still won't pay
cos the middle and back isn't going the whole way
your island, oh
has a siren you say. 
But this song is your own, and you use it to shift blame. 

Her on the shore - "mother" is no name
and the lake lady's lure, an anonymous fame
and we glide overtop, and you wont dive in
oh that dark
would hide us all from sin. 

All you can eat - you're a man of your time.
Consumption as virtue - oh it used to be mine.
And choices are taken, even when they're not made
and full cross or not, I'll always get paid. 

This is your last trip - yeah the boat stops here. 
And with two half lives, you're not a whole of a man
so Ill ask you for one name
but you close your eyes and sigh, sigh, sigh.

Pitiful man - here is my price
you can row back and forth between duty and vice
but you'll never set foot upon island or shore
cos those with no ties never needed the earth.

Lyrics

Insiders - they told me
"Bow your head and do this slowly"
Their hands pulled words from stories
thrown to halves by flame and heresay.

The shaking rhythm, carving
silhouettes: allowed or wanting.
Counter-tones from the other side
where the other half of tales are tried
I saw their eyes, those frightened boys
as ritual rose above our voices.

I've done for you, I've done for you. 

Our dancing is required
and feet will bleed when bones are tired, our
two circles, pink and blue
will move in opposites and rules,
and oh their voices, should we stray
from paths as smooth and cold as clay say:

I've done for you, I've done for you. 
I've done for you, I've done for you.  

Birth Ritual (rough mix)

A song against hate crime, particularly those directed at women. 
From the EP "Maiden" available at https://jordanreyne.bandcamp.com/album/maiden-mother-crone-4

Quirky Girls

She said it was a walk in the sun
Cause who could not love the day?
And just because the darkness will come
Why should we fear the rain?

We always say what young girls wear
in those stories where they end. 
When underneath is the who, what, why, how
and she just went to meet a friend. 

Sing for me they said
Sing for me. 

And just because she looked her own way - black, blue
they found so much to say
that names became those sticks, stones, fists, bones.
No one gets to walk away. 

Sing for me they said
Sing for me. 

She wasn't seen for 15 days. 
She wasn't really seen at all. 
And on the day the earth was thrown
no one 
could ever fill the hole. 

Don't tell us where the pretty boys are. 
Don't tell us what they want us all to be. 
I'm dancing with the quircky girls. 
We are singing for the sea.

Wszyscy wiecie, że bardzo interesuję się historią Polski, a muzyka jest tylko jednym z powodów, dla którego uwielbiam odwiedzać ten kraj. Wszystkie moje "Tour Tales"  były po angielsku dlatego postanowiłam  przeprowadzić specjalną rozmowę dla Polaków, o czymś co jest bardzo ważne nie tylko dla mnie, ale i dla Polski.
Kiedy byłam w Warszawie miałam okazję porozmawiać z aktywistą – Marcinem Wojtalikiem – który także jest zaangażowany w walkę przeciw TTIP.  Walka z tą nową i niebezpieczną legislacją jest zupełnie inna w Polsce i w Anglii. To co mówi Marcin powinno was zaciekawić.

Episode #35 Interview with Jordan Reyne - Resident Evil VII

Best known for her work as the vocalist on Resident Evil 7's new trailer, "Go Tell Aunt Rhody," Jordan Reyne is hailed by Radio New Zealand as the author of a new sound. Jordan's music is a genre bending soundscape of factory drones, acoustic loops, celtic vocals, machine noise, and lyrics that read like a modern version of Grims fairytales. According to The Mix (UK) "It is hard to categorise music this original - PJ Harey springs to mind, but the style is 100% Jordans... Her vocals are astounding". 

Along with 3 nominations for a Tui award (New Zealand's Grammy equivalent), Jordan has lent her voice to projects like Cafe Del Mar, a funeral scene on Lordof the Rings, guest vocal appearances with The Strawpoeple, Breaks Co-op, and the Eden House (where she is now a permanent member). Jordan has and toured the UK, Poland, Germany and New Zealand including shows at Glastonbury (UK), Wave Gothic Treffen (Germany), The New Zealand International Festival of the Arts (NZ), The Big Day Out (NZ / Aus), Frankfurt Music Messe (Germany), Soundedit (Poland) and supports for bands as diverse as Feilds of the Nephilim, White Zombie and the Eden House.
