lyrics
Where in hell can you go
Far from the things that you know?
Far from the sprawl of concrete
That keeps crawling its way
About a thousand miles a day?
Take one last look behind
Commit this to memory and mind
and don't miss this wasteland,
This terrible place, when you leave
Keep your heart off your sleeve
Motherland, cradle me
Close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep
Keep me safe, lie with me
Stay beside me, don't go
Don't you go
Oh my five-and-dime queen
Tell me just what have you seen?
The lust and the avarice?
The bottomless, the cavernous greed?
Is that what you see?
Oh, Motherland, cradle me
Close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep
Keep me safe, lie with me
Stay beside me, don't go
Don't you go
Now come on, shotgun bride,
What makes me envy your life?
Faceless, nameless, innocent, blameless and free -
What's that like to be?
Motherland, cradle me
Close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep
Keep me safe, lie with me
Stay beside me, don't go
Oh, Motherland, cradle me
Close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep
Keep me safe, lie with me
Stay beside me, don't go
No, don't you go.

Over 60 musicians got together to create this wonderful ep, including Adrian Crowley, Ben Eshmade, Ted Barnes, Piney Gir, Emily Barker and Stephen Coates. Gill Sandell
Really honoured to play piano and accordion for my dear friend Ted Barnes's latest album. Beautiful tunes and songs, with both humour and melancholy. Gill Sandell
I love these alternative versions of the 'Murmuration' songs. The stripped down instrumentation creates an intimite vibe, while the poem intertwines them into a concept-like album. As a result, this is a new album that stands out on its own and that is more than just a complement to 'Murmuration'. 'Ordinary' already was a beautiful song, yet 'Extraordinary' adds something extra for me. And because the piano intro somehow calls up some recognition. Another beautiful album by Emily Barker! rbergman
The Oakland singer's latest album imagines the power struggle between man and nature as a slow, steady tempest of dark folk. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 20, 2019
