lyrics
Late night all alone soul winter freeze
Midnight shadows try to trick me into sleeping
Childhood self bid fare thee well
faint voice echo life’s a fairytale
trail away from me...
and I don’t want to be
In my garden days of no regret
brown leaves scattering in their minuet
life’s brittle pages crumple in the wind
forming the wings of the Seraphim
who wait for me...
and I don’t want to be
Half lit lovers lost to dusty rooms
behind long shadows of afternoon
in the ghost winds they fall from flight
and sink like treasure in an old man’s eyes
lost at sea...
and I don’t want to be
Ancient philosophers who said they knew
now dime store prophets in a medicine show
the artist steals his colors from the eye
and he uses them to paint the lie
and the poet is a thief
and I don’t want to be
A true hidden treasure of a song writer. This gent has been capturing songs in demo form on old tape recorders since the 80s. . . and he's still capturing his magic sounds in his secret basement. Damien Youth

Excellent medieval folk, IGR, & those with ears to hear. I love the sense of mysticism and deep, introspective ponder this album conveys, & the honest down-to-earth folky lyrics. Simply wonderful yet soulfully rich. Highlights for me are tracks 2, 5, 6, & 12. IGR truly capture what I feel is an authentic sense of a medieval bard at a woodland rill pondering the mysteries of life. Highly recommended. 8.5+/10. Alrihkh

Done in medieval, wyrdfolk and psychedelic style, there is a deep bell to open and close the recording. An allegorical tale using alchemy as a backdrop, it is very pastoral and haunting. Some instruments included are viola, nyckelharpa, and dulcimer, along with acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards and percussion. The phantasmagoric story that ensues once the vocals begin is best listened to from start to finish for full effect. Favourite Track: The Serpent Nickie Harte Kelly
