The Rope

“What a fabulous record by Shirley and the matching video! Beautiful." Mike Scott (The Waterboys) When I first read the poem of the same title penned by my songwriter friend Colin Macduff, I knew I had to set it to a melody. Very little was changed structurally, it flowed perfectly to music. Thank you for the beautiful words, Colin. This is the first single from my forthcoming EP, 'Begin Began Begun'. Coiled, crossed, entangled in the corner Old and wise and silent, silent as a snake Left aside beside the new, unwanted You dream of hands, the touch, their grip, their shape Once you ran the span and moored our vessels Safe between the capstan, capstan and the quay Once you were the rope that held us steady Once you were the rope that cast us free The push the pull, the swing, lasso and ladder The tug of war when we were in our teens The give, the take, that bound us all together The start, the end, the knot, the way and means Lifeline, last line, frayed and poorly In my hand your strands so soft, soft and slack In my dreams you’re running on beside me With me all the long way, long way out and back With me all the long way, with me all the long way, with me all the long way Long way out and back In my dreams you’re running on beside me With me all the long way, long way out and back © S Barr/C Macduff Shirley Barr: shruti box, vocals Jamie MacRae: harmonium, additional vocals Dave Martin: percussion Ewan MacPherson: percussion Produced and engineered by Ewan MacPherson at Universal Hall, Findhorn Mixed and mastered by Mattie Foulds, Caribou Recording Video artwork: Shirley Barr Stop motion film work: Michael Mitton
