Our ancestors shape us in more ways than we can know. When wondering how we'll be remembered after our deaths, it's only right to tip a nod and raise a glass to those who came before - after all, we'll all be dust and stones soon enough. Until then, let's just carry on and pretend we'll live forever.
lyrics
Come paint our story in dust and in stones
Wrap us in cloud as a shroud for our bones
Bury me here with my face to the sky
Let each morning's dew be the grief in my eye
We skip and we stumble, never did learn to fly
I don’t burn bridges, I let them decay
The rot sets in, it fades gently away
No thunder and fireworks scorching the sky
Just a vague sense of loss and mumbled goodbye
One fumbled toss of the coin - and goodbye
So charge up your glass, and drink to the beat,
To this one golden moment, fleeting and sweet
We’ll nod to the ghosts of our past, and we’ll toast
The dust and the stones lying under our feet
At this buffet of woe, there’s enough to go round
Come pile up your plate, if a plate can be found
Eat, make merry, but don't meet the eyes
Set deep in the masks that are gathering by
Dance through the hollows with barely a sound,
Let the dogs take the scraps that fall to the ground
So charge up your glass, and drink to the beat,
To this one golden moment, fleeting and sweet
We’ll nod to the ghosts of our past, and we’ll toast
The dust and the stones lying under our feet
So charge up your glass, and drink to the beat,
To this one golden moment, fleeting and sweet
We’ll nod to the ghosts of our past, and we’ll toast
The rust and the bones there under our feet
The dust and the stones lying under our feet
A core part of the scene built around boutique label Folkroom Records, London-based alternative folk seven-piece Ringlefinch
have been described as "Like Bellowhead before them... just one appearance on ‘Later With’ away from becoming nationwide favourites".
They release debut album 'Tall Tales' on Folkroom Records on 25th June 2021....more
Absolutely the cutting edge of traditional music in the British Isles, what Ben Walker has done with this album is nothing short of revolutionary. Beautiful, mesmerising, and utterly worth your time. Ringlefinch
Thom Ashworth plays folk like you've never heard before. With melodic bass guitar parts backing up searingly authentic vocals, his alt take on trad is at its finest here. Start with "Poverty Knock"! Ringlefinch
Powerful urban trad folk with a punk snarl, 'Follow Them True' is one of the most exciting albums to come out of UK folk in a long while. There's genuine outrage here, with deep respect for the music. Ringlefinch
this is one of the most beautiful collections of music I've heard in a very long time. every song draws your attention - don't plan on doing anything else while you listen. more please 🙏 kimmcb
Alt/Psych/Wyrd folk release from the UK’s Kerry Andrew. Crystal clear vocals, with keyboards, recorder, pipes, cello, bass and electric guitars, banjolele, trumpet, and various percussive elements. Here, they cover traditional tunes, as well as offering original pieces, with a watery theme. Eerie and evocative, the pieces often start simply and veer off into something else entirely.
