Hey Daisy darling
Don’t spread your arms so wide
Why don’t you keep a little something inside?
I know you think that hands are made for pulling us through
But there are people in this world who don’t think like you do
Hey Daisy darling
Don’t give them all you can
Why don’t you keep a few more cards in your hand?
I know you’ll only say a thing you believe to be true
But there are people in this world who don’t think like you do
They don’t think like you do
And some don’t think at all
Hey Daisy darling
Don’t take it all as read
Why don’t you ask a few more questions instead?
I know you think that everyone should be paid what they’re due
But there are people in this world who don’t think like you do
They don’t think like you do
And some don’t think at all

Love the complexity of this track and the rising and falling of the violins, and the texture. Makes me want to dance.
Thank you so much for this album. I really love it, and find it really inspiring my own work on the Witchcraft Trials ❤️ tararosehip
Keening, yearning, captivating and lovely collection of songs, the sense of close performance all the more remarkable when you learn it was made during Covid lockdown in 2020. The ballads and poems set to music on this album might be hundreds of years old, and while they do have an air of immortal, ancient tradition about them, they sound utterly current. Badzie
