lyrics

Map in the world

Thereʼs a map in the world
It’s our main concern
It is good land in bad hands
From the people who look like we do
Thereʼs a duty to this earth
From our departure way back to birth
So wake up, begin to serve
At least we’ve a map in the world

Torn in many places is the vision of our kind
We seek the bottom of the valley
Shun the view from either side
There the struggle can be plenty
Faith far from the mind
So let us move in mass agreement
Avoid pain save time

Thereʼs a map in the world
It’s our main concern
It is good land in bad hands
From the people who look like we do (they are not us)
Thereʼs a duty to planet earth
From our departure way back to birth
So wake up, begin to serve
Least we’ve a map in the world

Guillemot Days
by Anna Lavigne

supported by 26 fans who also own “Map in the world”

Guillemot Days whisks us to a glistening shoreline, awash with 10 sublime songs full of serene hope. Compelling right from the buoyant opener Edge Of The World and Butterfly overflows with soaring, twangy sunshine. For a fave, so close with the lush vocals, melodic layers of Flowers Of Hope versus Peace And Plenty: an intriguing, modern parlour song both eerie and exquisite, voices and clarinet blending into something quite special. This album is a musical lighthouse on a dark day. Unmissable. anitajoyce

Selected Works (2021)
by Boo Hewerdine

supported by 17 fans who also own “Map in the world”

I love the deceptive simplicity of so many of Boo's songs. A master craftsman at songwriting. I bought the album even though I already have most the songs...because he deserves to be recognised. And he is funny. helenflunder
