Guillemot Days

anitajoyce Guillemot Days whisks us to a glistening shoreline, awash with 10 sublime songs full of serene hope. Compelling right from the buoyant opener Edge Of The World and Butterfly overflows with soaring, twangy sunshine. For a fave, so close with the lush vocals, melodic layers of Flowers Of Hope versus Peace And Plenty: an intriguing, modern parlour song both eerie and exquisite, voices and clarinet blending into something quite special. This album is a musical lighthouse on a dark day. Unmissable. Favorite track: Peace & Plenty.

Reclamation 03:20
Reclamation Verse 1 The Beachcomber went drifting, along a Northern shore Where she met a troubled man, she felt she'd known before His clothes were feathered, frayed and torn with sunburnt golden skin, His eyes were of the bluest flame that startled her within Verse 2 Wordlessly she followed, to. where his body strayed wild orchids reaching through the shingles where he lay as summer winds caressed her, she woke to face the dawn Her blue-eyed man had flown and she lay feathered frayed and torn... Reclamation, may well call you will you follow, if he calls your name? Reclamation, may well call you If you follow, you'll never be the same ...

Flowers of Hope. Sitting in the flowers of hope Trying to get a message to you Sitting in the flowers of hope Longing to reach you Lavender’s run wild at our feet And the ocean is a stone’s throw away With washed up starfish and rope You can haul yourself in Blow those clouds away x2 Ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh Give me some sunshine in my day Brighten the skies without delay Just wanna blow those clouds away Give me some sunshine So what’s it gonna be now my friend Will you join me in this beautiful place Letting the peace wash over your weary face Just sitting in the flowers of hope Trying to get a message to you Sitting in the flowers of hope Longing to reach you Sitting in the flowers of hope (till fade) Where the sun shines through (till fade)

Polar Pull 03:36
Polar Pull V1 Saw my long gone friend tonight/ she’d been out on Polar Bear Hill When you’re living as a ranger can/ you always will Pre-Ch You’ll never tame the hunger/ for the draw of mortal danger And the drug of being out there with them still Ch Rosie will you come down to the city Will you ever lose those new found feral ways Will we share a toast together/ to the changes in the weather And the mystery that flows through all our days V2 As the years go by we all lose contact with our youth Hard to keep engaging with old friendship, that’s the truth Pre-Ch Life unravels all intention, changing our direction We’ve all been out there on that distant hill Ch Rosie will you come down to the city Will you ever lose your new found ferel ways Will we share a toast together/ to the changes in the weather And the mystery that flows through all our days

Jaguar 03:39
The Jaguar The Jaguar growls, uncertain tonight As the moon rises high in the Andes And the train that Im on still charges along Spilling wine on the first class people Oh you’re on my mind, through all we survived We’re finding that love will redeem us Dark fades to dove in the newly born sun The Jaguar trusting is sleeping No more running, running away No more running, for love needs enough time to play Now darkness is done, there’s a warmth from the sun The Jaguar trusting is sleeping As dark fades to dove in the newly born sun The Jaguar trusting is sleeping The beckoning highway summer of song The music we played through the evening We’ve traveled so far it’s time to move on To where we can rest and be peaceful Oh you’re on my mind, through all we survived We’re finding that love will redeem us Dark fades to dove in the newly born sun The Jaguar trusting is sleeping No more running, running away No more running, for love needs enough time to play Dark fades to dove in the newly born sun The Jaguar trusting is sleeping x3

Peace and Plenty Harmony is in the room, soul is singing oh so sweetly We are back together now in peace and plenty Like the old days once again, company that dances freely We are back together now in peace and plenty Fear has fled to the stars above Light is held with trust and love Peace and plenty
