When Winter's shadowy fingers first pursue you down the street And your boots no longer lie about the cold around your feet Do you spare a thought for summer whose passage is complete Whose memories lie in ruins and whose ruins lie in heat When winter..... comes howling in. When the wind is singing strangely, blowing music thru your head and your rain splattered windows make you decide to stay in bed Do you spare a thought for the homeless tramp who wishes he was dead Or do you pull the bedclothes higher, dream of summertime instead? When winter..... comes howling in. The creeping cold has fingers, that caress without permission And mystic crystal snowdrops only aggravate the condition Do you spare a thought for the gypsy with no secure position Who's turned and spurned by village and town, at the magistrate's decision? When winter..... comes howling in. When the turkey's in the oven, and the Christmas presents are bought And Santa's in his module, he's an American astronaut Do you spare a thought for Jesus, who had nothing but his thoughts, Who gut busted just for talking, and befriending the wrong sorts? When winter..... comes howling in. When winter..... comes howling in.. + Informações

Beautiful track from debut LP 'Nicely Out Of Tune'. Here in single edit version with different vocal and little bit different mix. Great tune. Bashee playing magician sitting lotus on the floor Belly dancing beauty with a power driven saw Had my share of nightmares, didn't think there could be much more then in walked Rodrick Usher with the Lady Eleanor She tied my eyes with ribbon of a silken ghostly thread I gazed with trouble vision on an old four poster bed Where Eleanor had risen to kiss the neck below my head and bid me come along with her to the land of the dancing dead But it's all right, Lady Eleanor All right, Lady Eleanor I'm all right where I am She gazed with loving beauty like a mother to a son like living, dying, seeing, being all rolled into one Then all at once I heard some music playing in my bones the same old song I'd heard for years, reminding me of home But it's all right, Lady Eleanor All right, Lady Eleanor I'm all right where I am Then creeping on towards me, licking lips with tongues of fire a host of golden demons screaming lust and base desire and when it seemed for certain that the screams could get no higher I heard a voice above the rest screaming 'You're liar' But it's all right, Lady Eleanor All right, Lady Eleanor I'm all right here in your arms. + Informações

#12 Most Discussed (Today)-Music #28 Top Rated (Today)-Music #80 Most Discussed (This Week)-Music Lindisfarne were a British folk/rock group established in 1970. The group began as the Downtown Faction, but soon changed their name to Brethren. In 1968, after hearing of an American group of the same name, they were rechristened Lindisfarne after the island of that name off the Northumbrian coast. In 1970 Tony Stratton-Smith signed them to Charisma Records and their debut album Nicely Out of Tune (so named because the group claimed they were 'nicely out of tune' with other prevailing musical trends at the time) was released, defining their mixture of bright harmony and rollicking folk rock. Both singles released from the album, "Clear White Light" and "Lady Eleanor", failed to chart, as did the album itself at first. Nonetheless, the band obtained a strong following from its popular live concerts. Their second album, the Bob Johnston-produced Fog on the Tyne, followed in 1971 and began their commercial success, charting late in 1971 and reaching No. 1 the following year. Their profile was also raised when Jackson played mandolin on Rod Stewart's breakthrough hit single "Maggie May", even though Stewart only credited him on the sleeve of the parent album Every Picture Tells a Story as "the mandolin player in Lindisfarne. The name slips my mind." For years the legend persisted that disc jockey John Peel had played the mandolin part, solely as he was invited to mime it on Top .... + Informações

Holy Island (Lindisfarne) is situated off the Northumberland coast in the north of the UK, just a few miles south of the border between England and Scotland. The island is linked to the mainland by a causeway which twice a day is covered by the tide. Possibly the holiest site of Anglo-Saxon England, Lindisfarne was founded by St. Aidan, an Irish monk, who came from Iona, the centre of Christianity in Scotland. St Aidan converted Northumbria to Christianity at the invitation of its king, Oswald. St. Aidan founded Lindisfarne Monastery on Holy Island in 635, becoming its first Abbot and Bishop. The Lindisfarne Gospels, a 7th century illuminated Latin manuscript written here, is now in the British Museum in London but should rightfully be returned to Northumbria. The island of Lindisfarne with its wealthy monastery was a favourite stop-over for Viking raiders from the end of the 8th century. These Vikings raiders obviously concerned the monks somewhat as they vacated the monastery and did not return for 400 years. Lindisfarne continued as an active religious site from the 12th century until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1537. It seems to have become disused by the early 18th Century.. + Informações

The Lindisfarne Gospels is an illuminated Latin manuscript of the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in the British Library. The manuscript was produced on Lindisfarne in Northumbria in the late 7th century or early 8th century, and is generally regarded as the finest example of the kingdom's unique style of religious art, a style that combined Anglo-Saxon and Celtic themes, what is now called Hiberno-Saxon art, or Insular art.[1] The manuscript is complete (though lacking its original cover), and is astonishingly well-preserved considering its great age.. + Informações

Band: Enslaved Album: Eld (1997 Osmose) Song: 793 (Slaget Om Lindisfarne) Lyrics: Strokes from oars could be heard, beautiful ships gushed through the sea Like a wind from the north, our ancestors reached the shore Men from Hordaland, Rogaland and Adger gathered for battle in common Proud men with no fear Strokes from the sword crushed the skull of the christian A long time we ruled, kings of the north Many battles we won, at the shores of Midgard But, betrayed by our own brothers we were forced down on our knees Now when the wind once again is howling the thoughts finally goes towards home We shall rise in our glory The white horde will for sure shiver "We died like men Therefore we never vanished Weak is the one the enemy loves Never betray your origin". + Informações
