Inspired by conversations with forensic botanist Dr Mark A Spencer, when he was writing “Murder Most Florid” (Quadrille Press)

lyrics

In the night, creatures choose different pathways
To those we take in daylight
In the dark, old shapes have new meanings
Fox watches him step out of sight

Brambles will grow where bad people go
To do unspeakable things
Behind the laybys, the plants tell no lies
As we search on our hands and knees

In minutes, the flies are arriving
Somehow they know where to go
In months, the roots are accepting
The new ground in which they will grow

Brambles will grow where bad people go
To do unspeakable things
Behind the lay-bys, the plants tell no lies
As we search on our hands and knees

When we walk, we all leave our footprints
When we dig, we turn layers in the ground
When we rot, we all smell of jasmine
Our secrets are there to be found

Brambles will grow where bad people go
To do unspeakable things
Behind the lay-bys, the plants tell no lies
As we search on our hands and knees

a large chunk of the album resonates with me, love for the hills, mountains, coastline and particularly the north of Britain. Delivered with a wonderful voice and wonderful accompanying music. We found Iona by mistake on a search, so glad we did! scotch_single_malt
