It's #WorldCurlewDay
(This is an old picture from a few years ago.)
A new song (sort of)...
The majority of my songwriting output is material that's written for me to record and perform myself.*
However, occasionally I write something that is more like 'songwriting as theatre', or perhaps an imaginary commission -- usually as an experiment to see what happens. And while I generally don't want to record and release these songs as myself, some of them have started ending up as recordings by an imaginary band called the Bioflavonoids.
About seven years ago the Bioflavonoids released a single called 'Permaculture', and they have just followed it up with a new release called 'Lullaby of the Holly Tree', which was written six years ago for an imaginary community play about trees. (It has only just been released because the band is a bit disorganised at booking recording studio sessions.)
The new song is here: https://bioflavonoids.bandcamp.com/album/lullaby-of-the-holly-tree
* This of course should not be equated with the idea that the speaker in every song is literally *me*, which would be wildly inaccurate.
The album is finally released! (With a few slight hiccups along the way, but it really is out now...)
Here's the Bandcamp release: https://helenbell.bandcamp.com/album/five-thousand-feathers
[ko-fi release and link to follow shortly]
