about

I recorded this music during another war - a lesser war some might say, a mere skirmish, a war predicated on nought but propaganda and a thirst for publicity. Whatever the generality, it was a war that cost lives - 907 in all. Like all wars, great or small, it had a human impact, and, by its empirical singularity, that impact transcends mere opinion and mere politics, as all life must, simply because life comes first and life is all. Life is not just what we're fighting for, but the reason why we're fighting in the first place.

All it takes is one life lost for heartbreak and tears; one single loss for the laughter to stop forever, arrested, shattered, as we remember the time of love and joy, the blue summer skies and the endless days when nothing mattered but a pure moment, so brief in its passing, that now defines eternity.

about

Hermione Harvestman UK

'I feel like Wainwright - we are both hermetic ramblers. He made his books for when he was no longer capable of rambling his beloved fells, and I made my music for when I'm no longer able to ramble the by-ways of Albion - but only to listen, and think "Was that really me? That solitary figure who stood in a landscape dreaming of ages past in dread fear of the future."
