We Go Higher

We Go Higher (When They Go Low)

UNKLE - When Things Explode (Instrumental)

Cover #24 from the series "Songs I Love" by Piers Faccini

The Estonian composer Arvo Pärt’s musical arrangement of the poem ”My Heart's in the Highlands" by Scottish poet Robert Burns for countertenor, organ and bagpipes is without doubt, one of the most haunting songs I’ve ever heard. I was utterly spellbound the first time I heard the version recorded by the organist Stephen Layton and countertenor David James in 2003. Even without the music, the poem with its vivid picture of the Scottish highlands is majestic enough but with Pärt’s masterful composition, it becomes the song of a universal longing to return home and seems to speak to all of us, whether we come from the mountain, the desert or the sea. I’ve recently been collaborating with guitarist and oud player Gregory Dargent and chatting one day about what we could play together, we realised we were both unconditional Arvo Pärt fans. Being mostly for choir or orchestra, there’s not much of Pärt’s music that could work with just a voice and guitar but ”My Heart's in the Highlands" seemed a perfect piece to try and paint as if it were a timeless, traditional folk song. 

Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North,
The birth-place of Valour, the country of Worth;
Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,
The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.

My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart's in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer;
Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe,
My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go.
2: 
Farewell to the mountains, high-cover'd with snow,
Farewell to the straths and green valleys below;
Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods,
Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods.

Keep On

"It's about the melody. the beat. the sound and the voice. the clash of senses. dramatically usual. dreamlike bleak. marvelous beautiful. the crumbling of the dream. and the essence of passion. a thousand times believed dead. and rose again. my love, my music."
