  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Dave Brons' 3rd album is inspired by the Sea, Soil, Sky and JRR Tolkien's mythical places.

    Over an hour of Celtic Prog music designed to transport you on a musical journey from the -coast of Middle-earth to the woods of Lothlorien, climbing the heights of the Misty Mountains and finally ascending to the sky on the wings of the Eagles to gaze down on the beautiful world below.

    The Deluxe edition comes with beautful gatefold which opens up and reveals the CD and a full colour 16 page booklet, with a listeners guide, stories and composition notes about each track and lyrics.

  • 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!

about

Composition notes (Dave)
Like water, earth is a magical substance. I never cease to wonder at the soil and the life it creates; trees, flowers and crops.

This song was primarily written by Dan with lyrics by John. The quick ascending melody sung by Sally Minnear conveys an uplifting sense of hope, like trees reaching for the sky, or a climber reaching for the summit.

Listeners guide
You are standing barefoot on the soil. You can almost feel the life beneath your feet. The seeds, the creatures. All surviving. All living. All creating. Bringing about the birth of spring and the next push of life in all its chaos and beauty.

lyrics

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
