about

Adrienne wanted to write a song about a unicorn but during her efforts, she came to think of the many creatures that have, through mans greed and mismanagement, become extinct.
The tune that follows happened by chance during a rehearsal when Richard was helping to arrange the song and we managed to capture it on tape. Sanctuary is an anthem dedicated to all the worlds lost species, both real and mythical…when will the madness end?

lyrics

Shape the fantasy, retell the story
of a fair creature who walks no more
on wild hills and moorland we search for the echoes
and retrace the footsteps that are long gone

CHORUS
With brooding heart and mind with cold man's dark scheming
they thought to win the prize of the spiral horn
lost beyond all time lost beyond all dreaming
tales are all we have of the gentle unicorn

Beast of mystery there in your woodland
none can tame your heart nor own your soul
swift of foot stay ahead of the hunters
for they seek your precious horn

The men of dark ages searched for a cure
to save them from poison to keep them from harm
upon your brow mother nature has laid it
but the hunter's dart will bring you down

Fair fair unicorn you we remember
in shadowed woods and crystal streams
standing alone in the forest of twilight
forever there you'll haunt our dreams

A silky, smooth, sultry voice weaving lyrical imagery upon a canvas of exquisite tonal contours. Immensely pleasurable. The bouncy cheer of " Little Bird" is a delightful contrast to the dusky jazz groove of this truly beautiful album. Much gratitude for you S J ! roddylloyd

Your words and music speak so eloquently to the things I believe... you are the Bard who tells the world of us, the Cauldron born and of our Pagan ways, Goddesses and Gods. 'Green & Grey' resonates so clearly to who I am that it has become my theme tune. 🧙‍♂️🌳💚 colinwoody
