1.	The Woman in the Moon (Single Version) 03:42	lyrics	buy track
The moon is high above the mountain Hanging in the sky She's hanging in the sky And while the clouds, they part around her She shines down in my eye She shines down in my eye And as we turn, she spins around us Until the morning light Until the morning light I watch her face as she is crying And smoking in the dark She's smoking in the dark
2.	Tiocfaidh an Samhradh (Summer Will Come) 04:18	lyrics	buy track
Tiocfaidh an samhradh Agus fásfaidh an féar Tiocfaidh an duilliúr ghlas Ar bharr na gcraobh Tiocfaidh mo rúinsearc Le bánú an lae Agus buailfidh sí túin suas Le cumha 'mo dhiaidh Scairt mé aréir Ag an doras thall Scairt mé aríst An raibh mo rún le fáil Dúirt a daidí liom Nach raibh sí ann Nó gur éaluigh sí aréir Leis an buachaill donn Brón ar an fharraige Mar is sí atá mór 'Sí atá ag dul idir mé Is mo mhíle stór Siúlfaidh mé na bailte seo Agus siúlfaidh mé na róid Agus dheamhan bean a phósfas mé No go dtéim faoi fhód ENGLISH TRANSLATION Summer will come Grass will grow Green leaves will sprout On the treetops My true love will come At the break of day And strike up a tune Out of lonliness for me I called last night At the house yonder I called again To see if my true love was there Her father said She wasn't around That she eloped last night With the brown-haired boy A curse on the sea Because it's so vast It goes between me And the one that I love I'll walk these towns And tramp the road And no woman will I marry 'Til I lie in my grave

about

Bróna McVittie Northern Ireland, UK

Pioneering her own brand of cosmic folk, Bróna McVittie both deftly reimagines traditional folk and crafts her own nature- inspired songs with a rich mix of folk and electronic instruments. As The Guardian describes it “You’re put in the place of a bird navigating wide open landscapes, absorbing light, space and air. This is music that takes you on its wing, and gives you fresh visions” ... more

The Trees in the Wood is my favorite track, even though (or maybe because) it's so simple. I will stop whatever I'm doing to sing the lower harmony part. kristenhg
