lyrics
The Boy’s Heart
Oh arrow straight and slender, with grey eyes unafraid
You see the rose’s splendour, nor wreck that they shall fade
Youth in its flush and flower, bare the soul of whitest flame
Eternity in an hour, all life and death in a game
May youth forever weave you, his magic around your ways
And time the robber leave you the boy’s heart all your days
Letʼs free ourselves, break out of life’s weight and chains
Piss off to Texas, forget the game
Letʼs free ourselves, break out of life’s weight and chains
Go get a whiskey, forget the game
We’ll be living out December, from morrow through to morrow
An old belief to lead us, pencil birth to follow
Surrounded by a new time, of new flesh and new life
So we will weep December, so we will weep new life
Come the all important morning
A child will have blended, his birth will follow

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

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

Well gosh, Boo. That really is an album!
The first time through was wonder and delight. Now it’s just a matter of installing it into my DNA. And so repeat play is engaged. You’ve done it again! warren wigutow
