The Breath - Remembering the Flood (live at the Minack Theatre)

Remembering the Flood filmed live at the Minack Theatre, in Cornwall on 11 August, 2023.
Remembering the Flood is an anthem for the dispossessed that takes its cue from the great emigrants’ lament ‘A Stór Mo Chroi’ (‘Treasure of My Heart’). It features on the band's album Land of My Other, available now on Real World Records.

Remembering the Flood
soul awoke in each bark
stolen from your arms
water’s memory
holding onto bits of me
with eyes blind by the lights of their cities
suffering fools like bites of a dog
come take my hand run from it’s shadow
we’ll wait for crumbs from their table
shouldering on in every tree
took root in every branch of me
remembering the flood, remembering the flood
remembering the flood, remembering the flood
with eyes blind by the lights of their cities
suffering fools like bites of a dog come
take my hand, run from it’s shadows,
we’ll wait for crumbs from their tables
and every city is dragging it’s feet from the hunger
dragging it’s feet from the pain
dragging its feet, dragging its feet
rowan, elm, oak and yew
hawthorn, birch, poplar too
huddled in the dark, huddled in the dark
huddled in the dark, huddled in the dark
with eyes blind by the lights of their cities
suffering fools like bites from a dog
come take my hand, run from it’s shadow
we’ll wait for crumbs from their table
crumbs from their table
we’ll wait for crumbs from their table

That wind isn't a special effect - the whole amphitheatre is set on the Cornish Cliffs and the audience can look over the stage to the sea below.
