about

Music by Kerry Andrew, words by Robert Macfarlane

Given the theme of transformation, the eminent nature writer Robert Macfarlane wrote some original lyrics for me about the Blue Men of the Minch. These folkloric ‘storm-kelpies’ lurk in the waters between the Outer Hebrides and mainland Scotland, looking for boats to sink; in Rob’s lyric, which he called ‘a short scene in an opera’, they sing to the sailors and entice them under the sea.

lyrics

Storm takes form
Blue sea beats
Beats its fists
Fast on hull
Hard on hope
Hurls its ropes
Snares the boats
Hauls the hearts
To the deeps

O you must, O you must
Give a gift to us

A kist not of rust or dust
But of bright silver verse

Or we will pull you down
O we will pull you down

So you must, O you must
Sing our song’s next line

But we set the meter
We set the rhyme

And if you spoil our song,
Falter, utter wrong,

Then it is drowning time,
O it is drowning time.

So here is our song,
Now continue it on:

Have you danced in the mask of the deer?
Can you speak with the voice of the tides?
Will you swim through the blue without fear?
