A wonderful song which takes me on a deeply Spirit-yearning journey to the beauty of the moorland.

Beneath the Moorland Sky

Come with me to moor and mountain; listen to the curlew’s cry;
Hear the skylark rising, singing; here beneath the moorland sky.
Come with me to moor and mountain; listen to the curlew’s cry;
Hear the skylark rising, singing; here beneath the moorland sky.	

Walk with me the hidden pathways; show me where the wild hares lie;
Ancient standing stone and circles; lie beneath the moorland sky.
Come with me to moor and mountain; listen to the curlew’s cry;
Hear the skylark rising, singing; here beneath the moorland sky.

Roam along the wooded valleys; where the wind in branches sighs;
Rise to heather-scented breezes; out beneath the moorland sky.
Come with me to moor and mountain; listen to the curlew’s cry;
Hear the skylark rising, singing; here beneath the moorland sky.

Climb with me to rocky hilltops; see the rushing clouds go by;
Come alive in wind and rainstorm; free beneath the moorland sky.
Come with me to moor and mountain; listen to the curlew’s cry;
Hear the skylark rising, singing; here beneath the moorland sky.

When my days on earth are numbered; and I pass, please let me lie;
On the heather moors forever; peace beneath the moorland sky.
Come with me to moor and mountain; listen to the curlew’s cry;
Hear the skylark rising, singing; here beneath the moorland sky.
Free beneath the moorland sky; peace beneath the moorland sky

PLEASE READ THIS IN FULL IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN MY SONGS. IT EXPLAINS WHY I'VE PUT THEM HERE.

The songs are not here to be passively listened to but are for those who want to learn them to sing themselves. The greatest compliment you can pay to a song is to sing it better than the person you learned it from. 

Following a recent conversation I’ve put the lyrics to my songs on each song’s page now. They may not be exactly the words on the accompanying recording; the thing I love about live music is that each time you do something it’s unique. If you want to sing any of these songs at singarounds etc, feel free to adapt them to your own style but, if you’re going to sing them, please don’t just learn the tune and sing the words from a sheet, songs are for singing not reading!!! (If you forget any words, just make your own up.)

If you're interested in more of the mythology-based songs then try Gwion'sSongs (https://soundcloud.com/gwionssongs accessible via the "Following" list) and there’s also lots to inspire you about about Nature and mythology to be found on The Druid Network (druidnetwork.org/).

Most importantly, whether these songs are of any interest or not - go out and enjoy some LIVE MUSIC at a singaround/session - preferably, get up and sing/play yourself!
