There's A Land Far Away...

There’s a land far away..

There’s a land far away I’d forgotten
it’s a dream I’d lost, buried away
it’s a hope it’s a wildness a fierce shout of joy
I’ve unlocked the scream, opened the door

And the land is amazing, the colours so bright
the perfume intoxicates, fills you with light
And the song in your heart as you rise to the spring
the leap of the blood and the supple of skin

Your eyes are a petal to the blossom of brain
the sting of wild nettle, a fierce joyous pain
The land always was and it will always be
but your brain’s been asleep and you’ve swallowed the key

The photo of the NZ bellbird was taken by my son (proud smile) - and I've recorded some of its birdsong to include in the song... it has a magical ringing call...

It has taken me a long time to mix this song – years actually... Once again, I had an idea in my head but not the ability to translate that into sound. This is a song about remembering a lost dream ...
