A mysterious and enigmatic folk ballad, set as a choral piece by Vaughan Williams. This is rarely recorded or played outside of the classical Vaughan Williams setting. The arrangement here has been made by The Sheiling.
A video of the song, shot on the mid-Wales coastline, can be seen on YouTube.

SONG FOR MATHIAS (Blaquire/Jones)

We've recorded 3 versions of this song, electronica, Americana,
and this heavy, loose version. The lyric sounds angrier on this -
and is a plea for those displaced by conflict.
