Music by Kerry Andrew, words by Kerri ní Dochartaigh

I’ve adapted the words from Kerri ní Dochartaigh’s remarkable memoir/nature book, Thin Places in this original song. She portrays an Ireland in which the boundary between the natural and supernatural is often permeable, and in winter solstice, especially so. It opens with an Irish Traditional Music Archive’s recording of six girls from Magilligan in 1969, who sing the beguiling rhyme: ‘A little thing goes wandering about/behind her backs and under her tracks/see I have got it/see I have got it/Tra la la la…’

lyrics

I feel the shifting begin
I think of the river
a place where the veil is so thin
I think of the river

The last of the light fades
Makes way for darkness
This cold and quiet day
Makes way for darkness

Dance yourself into a different form

CHORUS:
Between here and there
Then and now
This world and the other

To live as the butterflies
Free from border
To live as northern lights
Free from border

To live as the blood-red fox
On the threshold
To live as the wild white moth
On the threshold

Dance yourself into a different form

CHORUS:
Between here and there
Then and now
This world and the other

My body is blood and bone
Light as feather, sculpted as stone

O, bones become ash
in the belly of fire
placed back into earth
from which they’ve been formed
a beacon for those
that live on the shore

CHORUS:
Between here and there
Then and now
This world and the other
