This one goes with Urban Moonlight.
Where there is dark, there is light (and all that stuff... ).....
I remember how Sunlight after the Riots seemed to bring a peace.....
This track features some light lead from Dave Passourd.

The arrangement was marred by the recent disorder in London. It is with a sadness that this set of events has made…
come away, come away
away from trouble
away from care
come away, come away
away from sorrow
away from fear
may the cool wind find you
through a thousand thoughts unsaid
gather you in
weary day behind you
and you can lay your head…
i add to the others,, welcome, i love the somewhat plaintive/wistful tone of the whistle you have chosen a most auspicious day for me to join AT ,, it's my birthday,, thank you for the wonderful music richard
well well, a bit of the CV magic goes a long way,,,first off i love it!! the softer somewhat understated approach is superb, is that clarinet in the main? love it's blue feel,,,, there's almost a slight klesmer feel to this (2nd listen),, you musta had a lot of fun doing this,,, the more i listen i, hear just how well you have orchestrated/put this together,, very very well done,, as always i am amazed by your broad range of skills and musicianship,, yours,,, Richard
dreams yes,, sometimes fun, sometimes heroic, sometimes bittersweet,, you have nailed a bit of our national soul,, very well done,,, i hope more here at at give this a listen R

We hope you enjoy it…

In the background you can hear the original rough vocals…
I Got the Idea for this tune when I left Geir at Stanstead Airport.
Recorded it Last night after a Gig....
For the Folk Fest...
