Beanie I love the Uilleann pipes in the Last Journey across the Sea. I first heard the pipes being played in Germany, tune was called The Lonesome Boatman.
Last Journey across the Sea gives me hope. It may well be the end of one chapter, however it carries the promise of the beginning of something new with it. Favorite track: Last Journey across the Sea.

Nickie Harte Kelly Another Tolkien-inspired release from guitarist-extraordinaire and composer Dave Brons. He brings in some heavyweights along for the adventure, including Dave Bainbridge on keyboards and Sally Minnear providing vocals. This is Celtic prog rock at it’s finest, utilizing electric and traditional Celtic instruments, as well as orchestra and choir. The solo piano track, “Into the Woods of Lothlorien,” is pure elegance, and Sally’s vocal piece is achingly gorgeous. Favorite track: When the Snow Thaws.

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    N.B. *READ THIS -BEFORE YOU ORDER an LP" -

    I've worked really hard to make this double LP the highest quality possible. I know you are going to love it when you get it... Before you order, please read below:

    1: There are only 100 LP's available. If Vinyl is your thing, don't leave it too late to order!

    2: Shipping to the USA / Australia for Vinyl is very expensive please be aware that It will be about £15 to £19 -

    3: In order to make it more affordable for my international fans - you can use the code VINYL30 at checkout for 30% off , to offset the cost of postage.

    4: I sign every LP with my name. If you want it signing "to your name from Dave Brons" or a special message, just let me know. (There is a little box to do this at checkout).

    OK... now for the fun info: This is a beautiful gatefold Double LP. This means it opens like a book to display the lovely artwork and has all the listeners guides, compositions notes and lyrics on it.

    I went for the highest possible quality on the vinyl and the artwork to give you the best experience poss when listening to the album, reading the stories behind the songs and being transported to Middle-earth by the music.

    Thanks for ordering the LP!

Lyrics I am the light that catches waves upon the ocean The memory of stars that burned before You will find me where the sky leans down to kiss the water When the the sun sinks down into the sea When the the sun sinks down into the sea I am the air that shakes the leaves and moves the branches Forming clouds that scatter life on Earth below You will find me in the darkness, in the silent places Down where all of life become reborn I am the water winding swiftly down the mountain That knows the secret places of the Earth You will find me where the river runs into the ocean bleeding out into infinity. There you will find me.

Lyrics Climbing up the heights ,flights , cathedrals in the sky Sunlight breaks on the summit Walking on the mountain’s bones , searching ancient stones To find forgotten songs Underneath the autumn fall, the seed below the soil aches for light to recall it From the dark that ushers in, the birth of all things The night before the dawn And does this mountain speak Of what lies beneath? nd does this new life speak Of what lies beneath? Following the salt, road, wandering souls search for what they’ve forgotten Till they hear the seagulls cry , and see the endless skies And kiss the sundering seas And does this journey speak Of what lies beneath? And does this journey speak Of what lies beneath? Soil sea and sky singing its song Soil sea and sky calling us home Soil sea and sky singing its song Soil sea and sky calling us home
