church bells are ringing the chimehours are bringing the kids out don't let the babies you bore become anything else changelings and meadows oh graveyards and dead on their shoulders it's for their own good it is for their own good, for your own good, it is for your own good you told them better to die as a babe so you'll live with the Lord hush now my baby oh hush now my dear hush now my baby there's nothing to fear
2.	Forestfire 06:22	lyrics	buy track
how many years has it been? what things we have done in-between we'll go out separate ways now we're done, done with this place it's a sick trap it's a sick trap and i don't even know it yet it's a sick trap maple, birch, and oak burning brightly through rising smoke and i'm breathing this right out of the air hoping someday i'll make it, somewhere forest fire! forest fire! forest fire!

about

Recorded during and after hurricane sandy.

"In parts of Ireland and parts of Scotland, particularly the Highlands, chime children were believed to possess the "second sight". It was always noted what children were born in the chimehours and they were closely watched as they grew to see how the gift would manifest itself. Tales were told of chime children who foresaw peoples' deaths before they occurred, or who saw the spirits of the deceased before even family realized they were dead. Many of those who possess this ability consider it a curse, and would be glad to be rid of it."
