Like an artist with brush and paint a great song has lyrics that create a picture in your mind.
This homage to the artist Joan Eardley by Mr Drever illustrates this to perfection. The little petite reprise ‘Waitin for the tide to turn and the Shadows to grow long’ at the end just tip it over the edge of genius 👍

lyrics
Cottages and Beehives,
Winter Sunset,
Cornfield at nightfall,
Drying Salmon nets,
January flow tide,
Must seem like a far cry,
From the Townhead and street kids
But they pay me the same mind,
I made a mark on the ground,
While I was watching the world turn around me,
Catterline
I anchor my easel,
In the gales and the rain,
I keep painting the same view,
Nothing remains the same
I made a mark on the ground,
While I was watching the world turn around me,
Catterline
Waiting for the tide,
And the shadows to grow long,
God what a life,
I hate it when our bodies go wrong
I made a mark on the ground,
While I was watching the world turn around me,
Catterline

Thanks for the beautiful music Karine and Dave. it's been a while since I've felt so emotional listening to a new album. Every lyric is so beautifully supported by the piano parts. Laura-Beth Salter
Thanks for "Red Kites". Well, the whole album actually. Saw an Uncut magazine review out here in the southern Utah dust and thought I should give it a listen. Glad I did. Jerry Cooney
Bright and skipping songs that foreground the sound of the banjo and fingerstyle guitar in music that feels timeless. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 5, 2020
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 ❤️ tararosehip
