Thou hast left me ever Jamie
Thou hast left me ever
Thou hast left me ever Jamie
Thou hast left me ever
Often hast thou sworn that death
Should alone us sever
Noo you’ve left my heart for aye
I’ll see thee never Jamie, I’ll see thee never
Thou hast me forsaken Jamie
Thou hast me forsaken
Thou hast me forsaken Jamie
Thou hast me forsaken
Thou can love anither lass
While my heart is breaking
Soon my weary e’en I’ll close
Never mair tae waken Jamie, never mair tae waken

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

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
