You ceased to mow the lawn ten years ago
You just wanted to see how your garden would grow
You abandoned the pruning shears and welcomed each weed
You permitted the soil to select its own seed
But it would be unfair to assume you don’t care
For you pay great attention to all that goes there
You simply abstain from a plan or design
You just let it all hang out and take its own time
You just let it all hang out and take its own time
And you follow a thread in a book that you’ve read
Or in something that someone you heard somewhere said
You say “It’s all connected, it’s all intertwined
If you let it all hang out and take its own time
If you let it all hang out and take its own time”
Now you don’t move too fast, you make it all last
You encounter a moment before it is past
And you say “Walking slow in this world is no crime”
You just let it all hang out and take its own time
You just let it all hang out and take its own time …

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
