about

The Circle is inspired by Boscawen-ûn stone Circle on the Lands End Peninsular of Penwith in West Cornwall. The song is about finding your way in an unfamiliar landscape (physical or mental), the myths that grow up around those - like Cornish Piskies - and connections to our ancestors in the old places through bardic and musical traditions. It features a beautiful fiddle accompaniment by Boscawen resident Frank Davey.

lyrics

Ooo, Like a child once again I'm full of wonder
The page is white and clear
To be filled with living dreams

Senses heighten
Like vates of old at one with the living world
And stories told of young and old, of warm and cold

So I reach across the ages
Touch the souls that passed before
And now lie among the stones
Beneath the shrouded bracken tombs
Take me down to the holy well
Leave my worries on the bough
Of the twisted mossy sentinel
Where time stands still
Sing me a song born on the winds
And the waves that lick around these stones
The past is present but the present paused
In the circle of the earth and stone
Of the earth and stone
Time for music In the circle of the earth and stone

A never-ending game
A slip, twigs stab, the brambles snag
This place plays tricks on you - little folk inside your head
Til come the time
No longer absolute
Feel something pass, accept at last
The die is cast now you belong
