As always, your lyrics paint an eloquent and vivid picture. Beautiful.

Super song with fabulous lyrics. Randy Newman-esque.

Wonderful descriptive lyrics and beautiful melodic composition....love this <3

gorgeous!  Appealed to me, as this is my line of work, too! :-)

This is my musical tribute to singer/ songwriter Boo Hewerdine, who turned 60 in February 2021.

I've known and worked with Boo for almost twenty years, and to celebrate him and our diverse collaborations until now, I decided to compose and record 60 miniatures in his honour.
 
So, here they are: 60 Miniatures for Boo. Enjoy!

Sixty Miniatures For Boo

MINIATURE FOR BOO 60 - A PIECE FOR YOUR PET

Sample of the track Breathe from the forthcoming digital release - 6 Songs About Love?

6 Songs About Love? 

Breathe

Dorothy Coates brings lavender buds
To sew into sachets with ribbons and bows
Written directions, birthday girl wishes
She'll not stay for tea, she has gardens to grow

When the faithful go by in their Sunday best
Bearing souls for an hour of devotion
She's tending her church by a chapel-grey fountain
A choir of foxgloves peals with emotion

Evergreen lady, kneeling, discerning the flower 
That is worthy from a tangle of weeds
Embracing the earth with a prayer and a promise 
A tulip, an internal logic, a creed

The watering can bows its head with a drizzle --
The drought never ends -- over seedlings in rows
A cycle of life at the altar of nature
A dandelion weeder, a dibber, a hoe

And she strides from the turn of a century onward
The seasons replace her in a stop-motion show
Miss Dorothy Coates is a memory suspended
In the amber of autumn's afternoon glow
