Chimehours

from Chimehours by Herons Wake

about

An unsettling foray into old english folklore. Mixed with samples from several old cylinder recordings, including Yeats reading one of his own poems and the oldest surviving recording ever, a clip of "au clair de la lune".

lyrics

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
