Laurels (acoustic)

    The artwork for this album was made by me! It's a linocut inspired by the snow in March 2021, and a couple of swans I saw near my house around that time. Designer Joost Abbel turned the artwork into this design; he chose not to put any text on the front, and reversed the image for the inside of the case. There is no booklet with this album, but I did do my best on the packaging! I send them out in cardboard envelopes (and often reused ones), I avoid using plastic where I can.

about

Recorded for the first time in Paris in 2014, now a second version after playing a stretch of concerts with Janos Koolen. He played such a beautiful clarinet solo that I thought it deserved a place on this EP.

lyrics

Green grow the laurels and soft is the dew
Sad I was darling on parting from you
Perhaps in the future our love will renew
We'll love one another and promise to be true

I passed my love's window both night time and day
I passed my love's window both night time and day
And the looks that he gave me a thousand would slay
And the looks that he gave me a thousand would slay

I wrote my love a letter and he wrote me mine
I wrote my love a letter and he wrote me mine
Saying keep your love letter and I will keep mine
And you write to your love and I'll write to mine

Green grow the laurels and soft is the dew
Sad I was darling on parting from you
Perhaps in the future our love will renew
We'll love one another and promise to be true
