Vashti Bunyan and her partner were driving to Scotland from London in a horse drawn wagon when she composed this album so it’s very genuine in a natural and sublime way based on sense,emotion,and experience.
I have a story that I made up to go with this song, Basically, it’s about a poor family (mom, dad, daughter) and the daughter really wants a cat, but her parents think it’d cost too much money to raise one (litter, toys, food, etc) the daughter keeps waiting for one and the seasons pass. One night, the daughter is getting ready for bed and she hears something scratching at the door. She opens it and there’s a kitty cat “on the doorstep waiting to be fed” the parents walk over and look at each other, then nod. She looks up at them, and the picks up the cat. She brings it inside and feeds it.. something. And the cat goes up to bed with her.
And there's a sunset brimming over the sky And there's a swallow teaching it's young how to fly Up on high See how fast the summer passes by And there's an oak leaf turning green into brown And there's a pine so proud of her evergreen gown Looking down See how fast the winter comes around And there's a rain cloud passing over our heads And there's a cat on the doorstep waiting to be fed Milk and bread Day is done and now it's time for bed

back when there's no fake shit, everything was authentic, goood times
The loveliest album in the whole wide world
Agreed
the most beautiful song ever made
This album makes me think of Christmas postcards with Robins and snowy landscapes and children playing in snowy fields.
Ah these songs... Take us to a simpler life. I love them and we need more of them today. Always a joy to play them in my piano :)
so true.......

What a lovely story 😻
That's such a cute story ❤️🥺 thank you for sharing it 💕
This is so beautiful! As the sun starts to come out during another awful lockdown in the UK this song gives me hope :)
Lovely wee song xx
If I had someone to listen to this with I would be content
This makes your imagination fly far, far away. 🙂
And there's a sunset brimming over the sky
And there's a swallow teaching it's young how to fly
Up on high
See how fast the summer passes by
And there's an oak leaf turning green into brown
And there's a pine so proud of her evergreen gown
Looking down
See how fast the winter comes around
And there's a rain cloud passing over our heads
And there's a cat on the doorstep waiting to be fed
Milk and bread
Day is done and now it's time for bed
筋トレソングにしては悲しい。
