Paul Sands It's difficult to put a finger on how this works, because it works on so many levels. It pulses, like the countryside's quiet heartbeat, steady, supportive. There are ethereal vocals, surely the serenades of the fae folk, hidden in plain sight from all but those that want to see and hear. And then, the drums roll in but like thunder many miles away, not close enough to overwhelm or frighten, but strangely reassuring. The synths add depths, airs & graces and I find myself in a timeless place.

honza2c Beautiful arrangements and vocals. Athough the electronic instruments are used, the album reflects calling from the ancient times in the romantic way. Favorite track: The Coronation Of The Herring Queen (Ether).

Fair Sapphire. Your eyes look like the falling rain lost inside the Darkest Sea Drifting far away, fair Sapphire Fair Sapphire, reaching out for every tree, fingers spun between the leaves Restless to her soul, fair Sapphire Time won’t rush across the face, her scent that flowers out of place Driven by such sweet perfume, nestled in the brockade gloom Fair Sapphire, the equal of the sun and moon, and everything that one can do Must still give its way to fair Sapphire Fair Sapphire, your river runs to fast to breach, swept up off those lonely feet. Nothing can endure fair Sapphire Cast aside such earthly ways, drawback from the modern age, and clothe it all in artifice Nothings left unsaid, from heaven you are sent So lay me down beside the fair Sapphire Fair Sapphire (repeat)

Come sing Come sow Come and be Come with masks Come and dance Offer unto the sea Come kneel The coronation of the herring queen Come praise Come raise The sails again Come by chance But by night Be gone my friend Come kneel At the crowning of the herring queen Come run Come the moon Come the hare Once were queen Now a maid At the harbour fair Come kneel At the crowning of the herring queen

Arise the golden haze, a whisper from the earth. A breaking of the Spring Something has to give. Something’s taken hold. Another world beckons you to stay. She casts a spell, lets it float on by A cloak of gold traps you in her eye Oh to understand the power she commands Taste such deathly wine, suspended lost in time Lost inside the word, in flickers like the flame. You can but heed the call Something has to give. Something’s taken hold. Another world beckons you to stay. She casts a spell, lets it float on by A cloak of gold traps you in her eye Oh to understand the power she commands Taste such deathly wine, suspended lost in time To watch the fading Sun, the seer of loving warmth Wretched is the skin, that cannot heed its call. A prisoner of scorching grace, another time a long lost face Beholden to such Earthly ways, sink into these falling days.

Green fades to autumn Light’s waning fast Summer’s at rest now And the barley whispers its last And as the last rays of light Fell behind brambles and burdened hedgerows I saw him In the fields Ivy tangled and haloed by the dying sun Blackbird scolded My uninvited presence And fog arose from the fields And reclaimed him

I yield to thee Midsummer’s Queen ‘neath the cover of the Autumn tide All light cast aside for the juniper bride. Serene and so gently she breathes. Such arcane devices that she does employ. Her magic moves slowly to the ground. She’s beautiful, the sum of all desires, flowers woven softly through her hair. With the raise of her hand you will be damned, forever to bend to her needs. That beauty still shines, controlling the mind. It’s all that there’s meant to be. Such arcane devices that she does employ. Her magic moves slowly to the ground. She’s beautiful, the sum of all desires, flowers woven softly through her hair.

We Fall Down 04:41
The call of your song, so strong that it keeps me from home Sleep in the field, silently sings for the break of the day We fall down, at the end of the day, I’m nowhere and no one to be All closes around, so late in the day, I find myself here again I heed the call, summer it burns through my soul Far far away, returning me to the heat of the day.

about

The Hare And The Moon Scotland, UK

The Hare And The Moon existed between 2009 and early 2017 and are now as ghosts. They lived in the forest and their main occupations were knitting, necromancy, dollmaking and devilry however sometimes they made music too. When they did they liked to throw their love of MR James, Arthur Machen, ghost stories, Black Sabbath, Pentangle and The Wicker Man into their cauldron and give it a good stir. ... more
