Lyrics :
On the land of gold and wide plains
I came to build my fate
But when night comes and things slow down
I close my eyes I dream
Of a land far away
Where soil is dark and landscapes are green
Where rainbows have colors so intense
That people stop down to look at it
-  Chorus :
But from all the things I've loved
From all the things I left
What I most deeply loved and miss
Is you
-
I remember the dark of your hair
Almost as dark as the soil we walked on 
On both sides of the sea
I don't think any woman compares at you in beauty
-  ( Chorus ) ...
On the land far away
Where you once stood
I would have stayed
For you

Lyrics in Dutch and  under in English  : 

" Mijn wereld "

Ik neem je mee naar mijn wereld
Die soms koud is en soms kil
Waarin ik afstand neem, waarin ik hard ben
En soms niet praten wil
Met woorden kan ik niet zeggen
Wat mijn hartje zeggen wil
Dit liedje moet je voelen
Van dit liedje......word je stil

Mijn familie op deze wereld
Ze zijn koud en ze zijn kil
Ze nemen afstand willen niet praten
Sluiten me buiten, blijven stil
Met woorden kan ik niet zeggen
Wat mijn hartje zeggen wil
Dit liedje moet je voelen
Van dit liedje.....word je stil

Ooohooo luister goed hoe ik kan huilen
Niet met tranen, maar met dit liedje
Want mijn wereld is mijn wereld
Voor mij familie geldt dit niet.

=========================================

"My world"

I'm taking you to my world
Sometimes cold and sometimes cold
In which I distance myself, in which I am hard
And sometimes don't want to talk
I cannot say with words
What my heart wants to say
You should feel this song
This song ...... makes you silent

My family in this world
They are cold and they are chilly
They don't want to talk
Close me out, keep quiet
I cannot say with words
What my heart wants to say
You should feel this song
This song ..... makes you silent

Ooohooo listen carefully how I can cry
Not with tears, but with this song
Because my world is my world
This does not apply to my family.

Closing Ceremony - the new album  //  March 2020

Umbrellabirds is the musical project of Sam Blickhan, Lewis Daly, and Alex Hunt. The band began as a long-distance recording project when Sam Blickhan and Lewis Daly began exchanging demos in 2013. Alex Hunt heard these sparsely beautiful demos and initially signed up to produce, but was soon recruited as a full band member. The intricate, autumnal debut album was recorded in 2014-16, the product of many late nights and countless miles of travel. Oda Almås played strings on the self-titled debut. Shortly thereafter, the band began work on their second album - Closing Ceremony - featuring a bigger sound and a wider collective of musicians including Shyam Prasad on drums, Will Harvey on strings, and Cath Day on clarinet. Closing Ceremony was released in March 2020. The band are currently writing their third album. Umbrellabirds were recently played on BBC 6 Music by DJ Tom Robinson, and have been featured on the Fresh on the Net @freshnet blog and the BBC Introducing Mixtape @bbcintroducing.
