lyrics

Once upon a time an ice descended
It fell upon the fields the land was covered
After a howling wind the world was smothered
This beautiful world of mine now all around me icicles Chime

These glaciers are creaking
You'll hear if you're listening
This ice won't weigh me down
This ice won't way me down

Nothing was untouched, the green on the trees
Where normally the leaves would sway upon the trees
Winter'd made a wish that everything would freeze
This beautiful world of mine
Now all around me icicles Chime

Snow began to turn to ice as it kept on falling
It weighed down the world and it kept descending
And from the Northern hills ice was flowing
This beautiful world of mine
Now all around me icicles Chime

The people dreamed a dream the ice melt
They stoked their fires up in the homes where they dwelt
They went on living the fate they'd been dealt
This beautiful world of mine
Now all around me icicles Chime

Once upon a time an ice descended
But over time you hear if you're listening
Water begin to drip from ice that's melted
The ice is weakening, I can hear it creaking!

Listening to this album's rich, beautiful melodies and spirited performances feels like seeing a fantastical other-world emerge from the Earth itself. The emotions running through "A Mermaid at Fearn" are so complex and genuine it could convince anyone that mermaids are really out there. Gyakuten

I did find this band in Youtube, Live at Shrewsbury Folk Festival 2023. For me it was so good, can't find words, it blew me away and still does. dahlrockson
