THE SONG ALWAYS REMEMBERS
(Heath Cullen)
The moon is low, the night is young
I hear your name on every tongue
the smoke has cleared from where it hung
and far away a tune is rising
I hear the branches creak from cold
the language new, but the song is old
the night has learned what the morning told
and far more than it could dream of
Is there heaven? is there hell?
is there a truth to the lies we tell?
we know there is, and all too well
like the sparrows know the morning
And is our story in our blood
a ballad writ before the flood
ash to ash, mud to mud
the song always remembers
Love and bread are all we need
still I'm out here with my steed
cutting sod and sowing seed
for some other hand to harvest
Every saint and every liar
will lead a verse at the final fire
it starts out low but the tune sails higher
and off like smoke into the morning
Is there heaven? Is there hell?
is there a truth to the lies we tell?
we know there is, and all too well
like the magpies know the morning
And is our story in our blood
a promise made before the flood
ash to ash, mud to mud
the song always remembers
Michael is an unpolished gem, a rare find. This, his second release, was produced by yours truly & recorded in Los Angeles with Jim Keltner on drums, Matt Nightingale on bass and Aaron Embry on keys. Heath Cullen
This is an album of all instrumental music from one of my favourite bands. Three quarters of this group - Jay, Jen and Adam - played on my album Springtime In The Heart. Do your ears a favour. Heath Cullen
