Saw you come in through the back room
with your feet above the floor
See anything you put your mind to
when the lines have opened up.
Melancholy choirs and saints assemble
and gather in their hordes
Calling to you in a constant voice that
passes but lingers on.
Held the door for many a ghost
A sudden silence just lay low
Watch the tourists come and go
through walls of solid stone.
Fingers hold you in their icy grip
I'm the first to flee the war
As foreign bodies on a mine field
fall on unfamiliar soil.
Held the door for many a ghost
A sudden silence just lay low
Watch the tourists come and go
through walls of solid stone.

A Word To The Wise

Take me back to the river
where it all began
Started over in a quiet town
in a south facing land.
Turn your back to the water
stopped you where you stand
Wouldn't know your own reflection
if it stood and took you by the hand.
Don't leave me
lost somewhere along the line
I'll find solace in others
and offer words.
Chasing shadows into open spaces
I'm haunted by the crowds
Need a cure for this affliction I've acquired
Learnt too late, I let you down
But aren't we a little old for this
telling tales we've spun
Can't find the words to break the silence
when we're speaking in different tongues.
Don't leave me
in another place and time
I'll find solace in others
and offer words to the wise.

Rachel is a unique music essence. Her music and voice touch me really deep. I lived in Scotland for 2 years and she is able to bring me back there with her music. Rachel is a wonderful gift to the world.

The Edge of the Land
by Katie Spencer
supported by 6 fans who also own “The Quiet Kind EP”
I first heard Katie Spencer on YouTube when she was featured on the For Bert Jansch playlist. Katie played her own song called Shannon Road. The lead break that she plays twice really got my attention. I became a fan instantly. Every track on this album is lovely. The whole listening experience is like a favourite film running through my head. I'm so glad that in my twilight years I discovered Katie. I wish her a long and succesful career in music.

The renditions of these songs are so beautiful and raw. While I love the originals, these stripped down versions show so much feeling from Laura and it just pierces your soul. Love love love. Thanks!
