Hyperion is an original song inspired by a poem by Romantic poet John Keats, called The Fall Of Hyperion: A Dream. It explores themes of fragility and resilience, and how human beings respond to suffering and change. As part of the CoDI DIY project, I had the opportunity to work with composer Pwyll ap Sion, who created a beautiful string quartet arrangement, to support my guitar and vocal parts. Together, we wanted to make a dynamic and richly-arranged track, which still feels delicate and gives space to the lyrics and voice. Hyperion is recorded by James Clarke, and strings are performed by the Mavron Quartet.

Hyperion - Cara Ludlow (sample)

BACK TO BERLIN - demo

“Welsh singer-songwriter Cara Ludlow is a shining new talent, blessed with a musical maturity that belies her years. Her rock-solid songs are built on the firm foundations of classic folk & roots music - strong echoes of Joni Mitchell, Suzanne Vega and Joan Armatrading reverberate confidently through her hugely impressive compositions.”
