SIGN ON MY MIND There's a sign on my mind I have gone away And if you read it Do not grieve It's not in your way It's not in your way Tired of thinking I've been sinking Into a dream In to a dream Things just aren't The way they seem Not what they appear Things arent what they would appear Out of time Finding rhyme Dancing to the sky Dancing to the sky Missing boats Keeping notes Please don't ask me why Please don't ask me why Reading signs Moving lines Walking on my toes Walking on my toes Coming through Passing queues Following my nose Things aren't what they would appear Things aren't what they would appear" Music & Lyrics; Ivan Pawle Copyright BMG Rights Management(UK) Ltd

Yellow Moon 04:03
YELLOW MOON Anxious hope and thoughts of love Will never let me down or let me go Inside, my heart's a cage of ice Where love and loss still toss the lonely dice burned the whole night long My thoughts were never far from you Love that locks and binds must die But when it dies a part of you dies too Born, born, born upon the world The restless heart keeps flying Trying to become the heart of home Love, love, love, it picks you up And spins you round Sets you right back down, where you belong My head don't fit my hat sometimes It gets so full of clouds Every time I pass your door I hear you cry out loud Sometimes I look the same to you As you have looked to me My eyes get filled so full of stars I don't know when I leave Born, born, born upon the world The restless heart keeps flying Trying to become the heart of home Love, love, love, it picks you up And spins you round Sets you right back down, where you belong Love is like the April rain That makes the harvest grow And when it grows it's like the summer gold Love is like the colored leaves That drift down from the trees One by one 'til every tale is told If I go a-dancing out across the yellow moon I'll be home by morning if it doesn't come too soon If you seek protection go and find a safer man And if he can't give you what you need Then come on by again Priestess of the sun and moon And goddess of the wind You know too much to ever lose And not enough to win Though you built your house upon the rock And not upon the sand You're still looking out your window For another traveling man Born, born, born upon the world The restless heart keeps flying Trying to become the heart of home Love, love, love, it picks you up And spins you round Sets you right back down, where you belong Love, love, love that picks you up And spins you round Sets you right back down where you belong Music & Lyrics Robert Hunter Copyright Warner Chappell North America

Jack-A-Roe 04:00
"Jack-A-Roe" There was a wealthy merchant, in London he did dwell He had a Beautiful daughter, the truth to you we'll tell Oh the truth to you we'll tell She had sweethearts a plenty, and men of high degree But none but Jack the sailor, her true love ever be Oh her true love ever be Jackie's gone a sailing, with trouble on his mind He's left his native country and his darling girl behind Oh his darling girl behind She went down to a tailor shop and dressed in man's array She climbed on board a vessel to convey herself away Oh convey herself away Before you get on board sir, your name we'd like to know She smiled on her countenance, they called me Jack-A-Roe Oh they called me Jack-A-Roe I see your waist is slender, your fingers they are small Your cheeks too red and rosy to face the cannonball Oh to face the cannonball I know my waist's to slender, my fingers they are small but it would not make me tremble to see ten thousand fall Oh to see ten thousand fall The war soon being over she went and looked around among the dead and wounded her darling boy she found Oh her darling boy she found She picked him up on in her arms and carried him to the town she sent for a physician to quickly heal his wounds Oh to quickly heal his wounds This couple they got married so well they did agree This couple they got married so why not you and me? Oh why not you and me? Oh why not you and me?

about

Alongside "No Simple Highway" SomeRiseSomeFall's album on loss, grief and enduring love SomeRiseSomeFall recorded this eclectic mix of 3 songs featuring co-founder Martin Leahy. The songs range from beat-heavy pysch-folk to country to traditional folk in other words from the genre of music all the way across the musical spectrum to the genre of music. Music and art are natural connections and so genres are only unnatural divisions.

"No Simple Highway" and its predecessor "Some Climb" examine the high and low tides of life while this release charts the less extreme points, the neap tides, where beauty and inspiration can still be found

Inspired by two sketches by renowned artist Bridget Flannery "Neap Tide XXV" and "Neap Tide XXVI" The songs within the collection, although superficially unconnected, gather various threads of music that SomeRiseSomeFall project director Michael Fitzgerald picked up like neglected flotsam in small cove from the ocean of music and celebrate beauty, connection and friendship as each song and its history have connections for the seven people involved in its creation Martin Leahy, Bridget Flannery, Allie Glunn, Harry Moore, Kelly Justin, Áine Reddy and Michael Fitzgerald.

As ever with SomeRiseSomeFall releases the mantra is "create and share beauty" but as with all releases by FITZZ Records 100% of all sales goes to support a charity making connections in the community. All proceeds from "Merrengal" go the movement/registered charity A Lust For LIfe which is working to facilitate young people to empower their future mental wellbeing.

Shine on. Be Kind. Be of Service. Show compassion.
