about
(Devine, Niel Gow arr Anderson)
lyrics
Glimpsed atween pine stand and iron byre,
residual snows chalk charcoal Lochnagar,
otherwise invisible in the wee hours pitch.
A blue hare melted into the shadow, momentarily held
in the track, mesmerised by melodic fiddle tune,
will-o’-the-wisp feathering across late summer
howe, seeking a cure for fretful insomnia.
As the music faded on a soporific breeze,
rowan and juniper crept out from the night,
a new calf’s hungry moan rolled up from Durnach,
and an oystercatcher’s piping alarm betrayed
opportunist fox slithering through the darkness.
We stood, scenting early ling, bright vanilla whin,
watching the mountain come and go.
We had an intense, silent conversation –
music and weans, blackcock and weasel,
Scotland and Ireland, the moment’s significance,
pure and binding, a joyous gift to be savoured.
Turning back to the house, we could not resist
a last respect to the mountain and I asked for
‘Niel Gow’s Lament For the Death of His Second Wife’.
Through shut eyes, I saw everything: your bowing
style, determined stance and powerful, gentle strength.
The black void paid its respects with a deep silence,
roosting crossbills ceasing their reassuring twitter,
Lochnagar disappearing to avoid any unnecessary
distraction, anything that would take from the tune.

Thanks for the beautiful music Karine and Dave. it's been a while since I've felt so emotional listening to a new album. Every lyric is so beautifully supported by the piano parts. Laura-Beth Salter
