I'm so glad to hear you got through your battles with the big C!  I hope you never have to go through any again!  :))

Very gentle singing, perfectly complimenting the guitar, which is as equally sensitive!

Really emotive guitar, lovely!  Wow, your voice goes DEEP too hahaha!

Пераніцуем ільдзіны-старонкі, –
Мне б дажыць да зімовага скону. 
Горка бачыць твае смутныя вочы,
Што вяртаюцца з памяці сховаў.
 
 Сплаці за мяне даўгі снегавеям,
Мы ў слізоце маўчання, непрамоўленых слоў…
Застанецца нам толькі халодны пакой,
Ды змрочны водгук няспраўджаных сноў.

Сотні словаў да песні свае далучаю,
З нецярпеннем сачу, як сыходзіць зіма.
Сон халодны прагонім гарбатай гарачай,
Нашы рукі і душы чакаюць цяпла.

Someday Love

I was absolutely delighted when Glen asked If I would like to sing on this last year, as it is a favourite of mine by Lesley Duncan. Doubly excited when he sent me his beautifully arranged take with just magic acoustic guitar.
 So much enjoyed working on this Glen, and my huge thanks for the invite to this beauty.
I dedicate this to Dolfi...your light will always shine

All instruments and arrangement - G G Granthem
Vocals and harmonies - Lizzie Taypen

Fisherman's Favorite

This for some reason never saw the light of day...well here it is now, written a while back after I heard I think it was John Prescott say on tv, 'you should never be ashamed of your working clothes'

Never be ashamed of your working clothes

You are My Sunshine

This is an amorous song, sung to beloved Caisa Lisa as she dozes sweetly amongst pillows and quilts. A lullaby.  The pendulum of his thoughts swings between Jovian thunder of passion and beautiful calm thereafter, between cozy, warm, homey, loving sentiments and the existential fragility of life and love against the background of death and loneliness, all in one short song, encompassing everything. Here is an English translation:

Glimmering Nymph! Flashing eye! Soaring Shape on cushions high! Innocent strength! 
     Come, come to worship, 
     At a slim and blown-out candle, 
     The God of sleep, our Morpheus. 
The Hatch already closed, the Door shut, 
The Nightcap already tied 'round your head, 
Already Norström's pigtailed wig 
is hanging on its nail. 
Sleep, fall asleep to my Music.

The Chaffinch just, just now, Caisa Lisa, 
Dozing quit his warbling song; 
     The Sun has just set, 
     And the Sky has thickened, 
     Solitude's silence prevails; 
     I go to Freya's worship. 
The Rain poured down in thunderous flames, 
Vaulting the sky in fiery arc, 
Which calm and lovely appears 
In purple, gold, and green, 
After earth received Jove's thunder.

Go to sleep, my Nymph! Dream of my lyre, 
Until our Sun arises at four o'clock, 
     And you stretch out, 
     And reach your arms 
     To my carafe and my embrace, 
     Fired by my blood and name. 
Caisa, you are dying! Heaven! She breathes; 
Death gives life and love is mistaken. 
But though your pulse beat's weak, 
Your eye shuts glad. 
Hold the Fiddle; good night! good night!
