The Sang That Never Ends (Alan Thomas Roberts, 1999)

Frae the mists o’ time they came
The Picts their brochs, the Celts their kings
Romans came and failed to conquer
Turned home wi’ broken wings

Shouted loud by Bruce and Wallace
Frae Arbroath o’er land and sea
Lang forgotten, still it haunts me
The sang, the sang that never ends

Frae Columba’s isle they travelled
Wi’ the Word both near and far
Light o’ the world unto the nations
A sang o’ peace instead o’ war

The Hammer cam wi’ men aplenty
Mounted knights and a’ their show
Turned defeated by Scots united
Turned hame to rue the day

Shouted loud by Bruce and Wallace
Frae Arbroath o’er land and sea
Lang forgotten, still it haunts me
The sang, the sang that never ends

Jamie’s flooers destroyed and withered
Darien’s plagues and Scotland’s loss
Estates and lords and settlements and siller
Near put an end tae your song

Culloden, empty glens and servitude
Scattering the seed throughout the world
But pipes and drums and empire’s glories
The sang forgotten and unsung

Shouted loud by Bruce and Wallace
Frae Arbroath o’er land and sea
Lang forgotten, still it haunts me
The sang, the sang that never ends

Ships and steel, young deaths aplenty
Red Clyde, peace and noo Faslane
But century ends and memories are stirring
The sang, the sang is heard again

Shouted loud by Bruce and Wallace
Frae Arbroath o’er land and sea
Once forgotten, still it haunts me
The sang, the sang that never ends


The Sang That Never Ends

Title track from Two Wings' debut album on Tin Angel records

Love's Spring

Two Wings were formed in 2009 when singer/multi-instrumentalist/visual artist Hanna Tuulikki and guitarist/singer Ben Reynolds finally sat down and wrote a song together after years of crossing paths in Glasgow's ever-fecund left-field music scene(s).

Tuulikki’s experimental song-based project Nalle was described by Wire Magazine as “easily some of the most convincing free-folk the UK has ever produced”. Tuulikki was also a member of free form jazz folk ensemble Scatter and the Family Elan.
Reynolds' numerous releases as a solo artist include the 2009 solo guitar album How Day Earnt Its Night, released by New York’s Tompkins Square Records. Reynolds was also a guitarist in critically acclaimed psych-folk band Trembling Bells, and has
collaborated with Alasdair Roberts and Baby Dee.

As something clicked between Reynolds and Tuulikki, more songs followed, and Two Wings took flight with a glorious hybrid of Ceilidh band stomp, deep-fried Acid-Country twang, 1970s Me Generation Soft Rock harmonies, Memphis soul, Olde English
mediaeval-isms and the noise and smoky breath of basement bar folk dives when the 'F' word still meant something magical. All this was channelled into Two Wings' world even more as they expanded to incorporate fellow travellers Duncombe, Wilson and
Williams. Two Wings became a roaring, raucous beast of a band, and most of the fruits of Reynolds and Tuulikki's song-writing partnership appeared on their debut album, Love's Spring, released on Tin Angel Records in 2012.

“a warm-hearted fusion of vintage Americana and English folk-rock, complete with brass fanfares and soaring guitar breaks” - The List

"Their approach is still earthy and ramshackle, and as ever, Tuulikki’s voice instantly identifiable and oddly passionate” - The Wire
