Strange, and kinda cool. Like the rhythms, the yuke strumming, the great vocals...Yup!!

here you go - the track for your ears, after having it set to private for so long I realise it should be public. Dozo!

A song by Whalebone Polly 2004 (me, Kate Stables of This is the Kit and violinist Virpi Kettu) from our only album Recordings with the Window Open, a collection of home recordings recorded in Bristol 2004

7/10

“brims with ideas…refreshingly original…endlessly rewarding…a warm yet progressive addition to the alt.folk catalogue” ROCK`N`REEL 4/5

“Experimental folk multi-instrumentalist Dadd is one of the quirkiest singer songwriters on earth but
she`s also one of the best....a richly eclectic sonic treat.” - HIFI NEWS 9/10

continue gaining momentum.” - CULTURED VULTURES [SINGLE OF THE WEEK]

Strike Our Scythes

From the rust-worn fence to the broken wheel
A whisper on the wind, a fear you can feel
Like the devil's breath on a humid night
A secret buried deep beneath the fading light

From the crooked path where the shadows creep
To the promise that a soul can't keep
A trail of dust and a whispered name
Lost in the fire of a dying flame

The mockingbird sings its bitter tune
'Neath the cold, indifferent, harvest moon
A hand that reaches, a hand that's pulled away
Another long night bleeds into another day

From the crooked path where the shadows creep
To the promise that a soul can't keep
A trail of dust and a whispered name
Lost in the fire of a dying flame

The scent of pine, the taste of rain
Washing away the memory of pain
But a ghost in the weeds still calls to me
A promise of what can never be

From the crooked path where the shadows creep
To the promise that a soul can't keep
A trail of dust and a whispered name
Lost in the fire of a dying flame

Lost in the Fire

Shunichiro Fujimoto “Rejoice”

I wake up in the morning, and place the score on the stand.
I open the keyboard lid and practice as always.
As soon as my fingers feel right, I take a deep breath and place my fingers on the keys once again.
Just as the musicians did in the old days.
Composing music starts every morning in this simple way.
Connecting to the piano.
Everyday repeats itself.
Playing until you find the perfect chord and scale.
The score which was made through many inspirations and revisions, reveals the time with the piano.
Traditionally made music that no one has heard.
The main theme of this album is “forfeiture”.
Rising up from a loss and moving towards accepting the present state.
What is here is not the past, but something for the present, rejoice.
The sound of the wood creaking and the sound of the player breathing.
The gentle sound of the piano strings resonating with each other.
It is almost as if it were midnight, creating a calm world of shadows.
45 minutes of a tranquil midnight.
Enjoy the music.

This song is LIVE version.
