Reflections feat. Oddrun Eikli

This song is based on an original idea by Jeff Buckley and Liz Fraser. Sadly it was never finished or properly recorded in his lifetime. Bethany and I thought that the song deserved to be completed and so we set out to do just that.

The full band version of this song can be found on Bethany's SC profile:

https://soundcloud.com/bethanygraceuk/all-flowers-in-time-bend-towards-the-sun

This version is the Acoustic Mix.

There were so many great performances from the musicians involved that we really thought it would be great to really hear the quieter instruments in their own setting. Not only does it give yet another take on the song but it also allows you to really hear the beautiful vocals once again.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it.

. Annie Cordy - Six roses ( 1964 )
Paroles: Georges Coulonges. Musique: Michèle Auzépy - Radio Monte Carlo


On est sam'di ce soir
Et moi au bout du comptoir
Du comptoir du p'tit bar
Du bar de Monsieur Edouard
Je pense... je pense ...

{Refrain:}
Les copains m'appell'nt "Six roses"
Et je ne comprends pas pourquoi
Pourquoi, pourquoi, pourquoi
Bien sûr ils sav'nt que j'aime les fleurs
Mais pourquoi justement "Six rose"
Plutôt que une ou deux ou trois
Les copains m'appell'nt "Six roses"
Pourquoi m'ont-ils donné ce nom
Ce nom, ce nom, ce nom
Bien sûr ils savent que j'aime les fleurs
Mais pourquoi justement les roses
Plutôt que les rhododendrons.

Et il y a Monsieur Edouard
Qui derrière son comptoir
Me dit que sûrement
C'était à cause de mes parents
Ça m'trouble... ça m'trouble...

{Refrain:}
Papa s'appelait pas "Six roses"
Puisqu'on l'appelait "Bois sans peur"
Sans peur, sans peur, sans peur
Grand-père on l'app'lait "la liqueur"
Tonton, c'était "l'irrigateur"
J'vois pas l'rapport avec les fleurs
Mais s'ils veul'nt m'app'ler "Six roses"
Après tout j'peux bien les laisser
Laisser, laisser, laisser,
Bien sûr ils savent que j'aime les fleurs
Mais pourquoi justement les roses
Plutôt que les rhododendrons.

SOUP OF THISTLES 

Returning and turning in the widening gyre 
The falconer holds out a golden ring from the tower 
Captive and burning and full of desire 
The falcon pulls feathers from her wings to count the hours

And so
Ad infinitum 
Is the crow 
Compelled to steal
And so
Ad infinitum 
Are we drawn 
Into the wheel
Into the wheel

Turning and burning in the heat, of hearth and fire 
The feathers, the letters, the fingers form a winged spire
There’s flapping and scurrying aloft up in the rafters 
Where the bats are left to read and the finger moves on higher

And so
Ad infinitum 
We forget 
Why we were singing
And so
Ad infinitum 
The choir cannot lift the ceiling
The spinning wedding ceiling
Stealing
And so
We go

Around and around  and do it over again! 
Ad infinitum
Around and around  and do it over again! 
Ad infinitum

Returning and turning in the widening gyre 
Unseen by the hawk was Icarus flying higher
Why do we love when we know it’s trespassing
A puppet heart managed by the clock – foolish arms flailing

And so
Ad infinitum 
We watch for 
Six jet planes’ trails
And so
We prepare  our soup of thistles
And we settle down to feather 
And we wonder about the weather
Listen for the 
Falcons' bells together and
Cover our eyes with leather
Oh Icarus dear boy
Waxed and waned
Ah Amelia dear heart
Tarred and feathered...

Levinson & McWalter- June 2020
