Description: track from HEARTS OF GLASS by Beth Nielsen Chapman

love chord progression, sounds so beautiful!

Ominous, poignant and mysterious; 'To The Edge' is a potent lament of fate gone wrong. Two lovers by the riverside grappling with truth. Morricone-esque horns tug at the heartstrings; a soulful, minor-key slow-burn that skirts the fringes of jazz and 60s rock ‘n’ roll.

To The Edge [feat. Lauren Housley]

Plight o’ Sheep is the second full release from The Langan Band, almost exactly 10 years after the critically acclaimed release of their first full album Bones Of Contention. Recorded in Black Bay Studio in the Outer Hebrides, this album is a beautifully crafted distillation of the preceding ten years of huge life events and voracious performing around the world.
Songs like Leg Of Lamb and I’m Alive absolutely retain the infectious energy of the previous album, but numbers such as Sweetness and the Single One Whole Year demonstrate a deeper maturity and empathy in the music that can only come from hard-lived experiences and years of creating music together.
A huge part of the band’s success and appeal over the years has been the sheer density and depth of sound that these three people can create on a stage by themselves; and whilst, with Producer Pete Fletcher, they have availed themselves of all the joys and toys that Black Bay Studio had to offer, the finished album remains very true to the pure live show that the trio perform.
The title Plight o’ Sheep first came into the frame when Alastair and John were walking around the Isle of Bernera (upon which sits Black Bay Studio) on a viciously stormy morning, and remarked upon seeing a particularly wind-blown ram struggling to stay upright in the gale, what a truly miserable existence being a Hebridean sheep must be.
