John O' Dreams

When midnight comes and people homeward tread,
Seek now your blanket and your feather bed;
Home comes the rover, his journey's over.
Yield up the nighttime to old John O' Dreams,
Yield up the nighttime to old John O' Dreams.
Across the hills the sun has gone astray,
Tomorrow's cares are many dreams away;
The stars are flying, your candle's dying,
Yield up the darkness to old John O' Dreams,
Yield up the darkness to old John O' Dreams.
Both man and master in the night are one,
All things are equal when the day is done;
The Prince and Ploughman, the slave and the freeman,
All find their comfort in old John O' Dreams,
All find their comfort in old John O' Dreams.
And when sleep comes, the dreams are running clear;
The hawks of morning cannot reach you here.
Sleep is a river, flow on forever,
And for your boatman choose old John O' Dreams,
And for your boatman choose old John O' Dreams.

Ae Fond Kiss

Ae fond kiss, and then we sever;
Ae farewell, alas, forever!
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.
Who shall say that Fortune grieves him,
While the star of hope she leaves him?
Me, no cheerful twinkle lights me;
Dark despair around benights me.
I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy,
Nothing could resist my Nancy:
But to see her was to love her;
Love but her, and love for ever.
Had we never lov'd so kindly,
Had we never lov'd so blindly,
Never met-or never parted,
We had ne'er been broken-hearted.
Fare-thee-well, thou first and fairest!
Fare-thee-well, thou best and dearest!
Thine be ilka joy and treasure,
Peace, Enjoyment, Love and Pleasure!

"Even the bees themselves are almost present, as their buzz is imitated by a shruti drone... The bees are a vehicle for optimistic action and a means for folk to be refocused to its political roots."

Sweet and nonsense and sad, this album. I wish bandcamp had a looping function.

Love the complexity of this track and the rising and falling of the violins, and the texture. Makes me want to dance. Thank you so much for this album. I really love it, and find it really inspiring my own work on the Witchcraft Trials ❤️

This album speaks to the continuum of African diasporic culture that is central to the vibrant canon of Americana folk music.
