lyrics

Well the wind it blows us all in the end,
We can but bend or break.
Six years oh I’ve been hiding,
Hiding much too long,
On the seventh i move on.

Have you found what you’ve been searching for,
Is it long overdue?
It may be a selfish thing,
What people call love,
But what can you do,
What can we do?

Who do you love?

Well the wind it blows us all in the end,
We can but bend or break.
It’s time i loosen my grip,
On these crooked reigns.

So fare thee well my friend,
I bid you adieu,
Don’t forget the price that i paid,
That i paid, that you paid.

Oh i’s time for a change.

The Edge of the Land

I first heard Katie Spencer on YouTube when she was featured on the For Bert Jansch playlist. Katie played her own song called Shannon Road. The lead break that she plays twice really got my attention. I became a fan instantly. Every track on this album is lovely. The whole listening experience is like a favourite film running through my head. I'm so glad that in my twilight years I discovered Katie. I wish her a long and succesful career in music. Mitch Wild

Psych-folk with a late 60s / early 70s flavour. If you like Nick Drake or Fairport Convention you will enjoy this. It's an observation of change and a celebration of a hazy, high summer harvest. The music transports you to the moorlands and mill towns of Northern England. Dark and open and embellished with beautiful melodies and thoughtful lyrics. This is album of the year 2021 for me. distant planet
