lyrics

The Circle

Now and then
We see the sun shine through the trees
But who knows when
The time will come for us to take our leave

We come, go, why nobody knows
Life is a circle round and round it goes
We live, die, nobody knows why
Life is a circle it’s hello and goodbye

The snowbells bloom
We see the life sprouting in the ground
And very soon
New beginnings will again abound

We come, go, why nobody knows
Life is a circle round and round it goes
We live, die, nobody knows why
Life is a circle it’s hello and goodbye

We’re telling lies to ourselves
We’re telling lies to ourselves

We all must die
Of dust we’re made of dust we yet shall be
So give no sigh
Another year another life for we

Come, go, why nobody knows
Life is a circle round and round it goes
Live, die, nobody knows why
Life is a circle it’s hello and goodbye

Blake recommends:

North Circular
by Bevis Frond

Being a singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/home recorder myself, and largely inspired by The Frond, I appreciate the amount of talent that has gone into creating this amazing work of art. Genius! Blake

Sometimes In The Morning
by Simon Wells

Gorgeous album full of charm and wit, wonderful imagery, observations on provincial British life, characters brought to life with the skill of a novelist and nods to the ghosts of a visionary Albion. Blake

CHOOCHTOWN
by HAMELL ON TRIAL

Choochtown is possibly the greatest, most creative album by one person I've ever heard. It's like a Raymond Chandler whodunnit which is in turns funny, romantic, violent, scary & uplifting. Gotta get! Blake

by heka

Four great, delicate songs from heka that are both gentle and haunting, graceful vocal melodies floating across a bed of acoustic guitar. Bandcamp New & Notable May 28, 2021
