Jane Colbourne's Album

The Woods Within by Janey Colbourne

We are not alone by Janey Colbourne

Axe Music

This song was the final track on an album that pretty much ended an era of fossil fuel-related troubadourianism by a character known as the Carbon Town Cryer, who appeared at the Climate Camps of that era at Drax power station, Heathrow, Kingsnorth power station, overlooking the City of London and overlooking RBS HQ between 2005-2010. His intention was to make poetical/rhythmical noise by himself and as part of whoever turned up at actions like these with a voice to sing or an instrument to play. He took a turn into community music after that point, playing for a broader set of positive outcomes, partly because writing songs such as these doesn't seem to be easy to keep up. However, with the advent of Extinction Rebellion and continuance of other uprisings across the world, there is still a simmering of excitement about the potential of voice and music to make resistance even more irresistible, so it could be that a new era for the CT Cryer beckons, (though not with that particular alias!)

Evening in the Everglades by Michael on Fire

This track is from the album, Wild Soul (https://www.thenaturalself.co.uk/music) that explores deep, soulful connection to our self, each other and the land. It is played on instruments that can be used around a fire and is intended to encourage a remembering of more ancient and traditional settings where communities/folk met to share poems, music, story, fun and song. All the music is inspired by connection to the natural world and to our inner natural self. The songs seek to find a way to speak both to an ancient  place that can emerge in deep immersion in nature and to how we can bring this deep nature experience and mythos into our modern life and affect the culture. The album is offered as a way of deepening connection and self-reflection as well as having music inspired by the natural world. 

The songs are a journey through the invitation, awakening and driving from London to the Gower in South Wales, which is what Celtic cross speaks to, putting our hand back to the land as a way of supporting ourself and the earth, the wondering soul seeking a belonging and being called by place, through to the call of the wild sea and finally a recognition that all must go with When I’m Gone. We finish with gratitude to all. 

Wild sea is a song that was written in Bristol, it is a song that sings to the sense of being trapped, lost and walled in by our life. How the human world can seem so drab at times, so depressing and meaningless without the majesty and wonder of nature and the wild. Thus, this sings to rain falling off cars, into drains, down to the river to fall at last into the wild sea. Where open hearted we can meet our own wildness and the true freedom of our soul. 

The Land is Michéal Connors and Rhonda Brandrick, all songs are original, music written and arranged by Michéal Connors.
