I just discovered this band and they are bloody brilliant. Their music is so beautiful.

[@patrickwilliams7078]

Mount the air is definitely their best album. There isn't one bad song on the whole album.

Just can't help but get emotional every time I listen to this song.

Becky Unthank..........what a voice!

[@MrReddser]

I just watched this band on jools Holland and have been checking out a few tunes, this is just magic... the choice of vocal chords in the melody is so invitingly dark...

[@sophiafake-virus2456]

Animation gets in the way of the brilliant record.

A bald young farmer courted me
He gained my heart my liberty
He gained my heart with a free good will
And i must confess that i love him still
I wish i wish but its all in vain
I wish i was a maid again
But a maid again that never can be
Since that young farmer lay still with me
I wish my baby little was born and smilin on his fathers knee
And i was dead and in my grave
With the green grass growin all over me
There's a bird that sits in yonders tree
Some say hes blind and cannot sing
Oh i wish it being the same with me
When first i met with your company
But a marble stone at my head and feet
But a turtle white dove
To let the world know that i died for love

isobel clark *bold* not bald 😊

[@bwj8]

Thanks for typing this out, but I'm sure the second word should be "bold". Some places even use that as the title.

@@ShireWitch A Northumbrian accent is lovely to hear, especially as I'm in Australia and rarely hear a northern accent.

[@sophiafake-virus2456]

Isn't it a bold young farmer?

[@Phaseband]

Hi ladies. I love your voices and harmonies. I would love to hear you sing a song called The River, written by the late Dave Shannon and performed by him and Fiona Simpson when they performed in the folk group Therapy in the late 70s. I have tried to find it online without success. But you may know better than me where to look. It's about a factory worker who escapes on a weekend by fishing in the river and going to the pub for a "pint and a sandwich". I hope you can find it.

It's sad, but it didn't make me cry. It's just... I don't get it. Did she poison her cup of tea? ?_?

[@melindalemmon2149]

yes but who is she living with...the wrong man?

[@taylenb.g.8773]

Melinda Lemmon Idek...

The thing was that I was thinking about this video yesterday, but I watched it 8 months ago.

[@DylanNes]

She lost her man. She commits suicide at the end to be reunited with him. That's why there's a man next to her in her bed at the end.

[@xxxxDuke]

I like this explanation best, Mercury Saturn. She can't bear a future without him or his child. How do you explain the rocket scene? A mysterious, beautiful and tragic film. Congrats to the university team and of course the wonderful Unthanks.
