My Sweet, Crushed Angel

Original Song | Listen Now

‘Christ in the Sepulchre, Guarded by Angels’, William Blake, circa 1805.

Winter has cloaked Devon in snow this week, and as we near the darkest night of the year, I find myself retreating into stillness and quiet. No writing. But a song that arrived late last night inspired by a poem by Hafiz, the thirteenth-century Persian poet. You may hear the soft snores in the background of little Ella, the puggle I look after sometimes who often seems to find her way into my den on Sundays. Wishing you all a sweet Solstice, Christmas and New Year with much warmth and good cheer. See you on the other side.
