Cerys Hafana - Child Owlet
2024 February / March Tour: ceryshafana.com/live-dates/
Production design - Lara Kipp
Cinematography - Eddie Yeoman
Assistant camera - Joe Hadley
Director - Amy Daniel
Child Owlet - Child Ballad 291, trad.
Performed, arranged + produced - Cerys Hafana
Mixed + mastered - Mike West
Originally created for Old Tunes Fresh Takes (oldtunesfreshtakes.com/).
Oh I sit into my bower / Sewing a silken seam
A bonny shirt for Child Owlett as he goes out and in
His face was fair, long was his hair / I’ve called him to come near
“Oh, you must cuckold Lord Ronald / For all his lands and gear”
“Oh, lady, hold your tongue, for shame / For such should ne’er be done
How can I cuckold Lord Ronald / And me his sister’s son?”
Then I’ve taken a small penknife / That lay here by my side
I’ve pricked myself below my breast / Which made my body bleed
Lord Ronald’s come into my bower / Where I did make my moan
“Oh, what is all this blood”, he said / “That shines on your breastbone?”
“Young Child Owlet, your sister’s son / Is new gone from my bower
Had I not been a good woman / I’d be Child Owlet’s whore”
Then he has taken Child Owlet / Thrown him in prison strong
And all his men, a council held / To judge Child Owlet’s wrong
Some said, Child Owlet, he should hang / Some said that he should burn
Some said that they’d have Child Owlet / Between wild horses torn
There was no grass on Elkin Moor / No broom nor bonny rush
Not dripping with Child Owlet’s blood / And pieces of his flesh
There was no stone on Elkin Moor / No broom nor bonny whin
Not dripping with Child Owlet’s blood / And pieces of his skin

    Beautiful melody, with subtle and delicate touch. You’re credited with playing the triple harp and water bottle… the harp is obvious from the video, but at the end there are some electronic-sounding bubbly notes fading in and out… that doesn’t sound like a water bottle to me… Can you explain what those sounds are?

    Another enchanting song about psychopaths of the past. The juxtaposition of the darkness of the subject matter and the strange beauty of the music provides a compelling listen. Cerys - she has a certain sensibility that is all her own.

    I keep looking for work by Cerys and I simply love her art the more for each discovery. She is also an inspiration for my continuing to learn Welsh. An altogether remarkable artist of a deep mind.

    There is a glorious, fearless edge to Cerys's music. The willingness to push the envelope on an already rich tradition with such style, verve and talent is creating a body of work that is, and I exaggerate not, wonderful. Together with Ren, I would say that Cerys Hafana is the other musical discovery of the decade. An absolute multi faceted jewel. Bendigedig, Cerys! Da iawn, dwi'n cari ti'n art. Apologies for my Welsh, by the way. Dwi'n dysgu ond dw i angen ymarfa moi

    Saw her play at the Big Love festival 2023. The festival was mostly rave music, really, but no word of a lie the audience was transfixed by her beautiful, subtle music. What a talent, and her humorous explanations between songs really added the Welsh context.

    @lykakinchen7601 Рік тому

    I remember you playing a song in Aberystwyth Ceredigion Museum and asking if anyone had a name for an exquisite tune you played on the harp. I just visualised the power of a tiny stream or a trickle that with many drops of rain and little trickles of water all came together to make the astounding noise of a waterfall. I didn't think of a name though so if didn't approach you but I had that vision and ai wonder what that song is called now and I hope you still play it.

    • @ceryshafana
      @ceryshafana Рік тому

      Ah that's so lovely! I actually named it Nant yr Arian in the end ('silver stream' - so fits your image!), and I still play it! x
