DARTMOOR STONE (Lord Mayo)

from Longshore Drift (Album) by Pat Orchard

/

about

A real mash up of tracks, from Lord Mayo / Dartmoor Stone and featuring part of a recital of Ferd The Story Tellers (aka my brother Austin Edward Orchard) poem... I recorded the guitars and voice tracks in my loft, and let the church bells peeling outside be part of the track ( have no sound proof here anyway) As I look down from the loft I see my garden, walled with Dartmoor Granite and in the sun my wife and children play. It does not get better then that. Thank you fate for allowing me this.

Love. Pat

lyrics

DARTMOOR STONE - AMBIENT MIX

I found my home a long-time searching hard
and Dartmoor stone it walls a sunny yard….

(poem)
…the smell of clover and meadow flowers
Warmed by the heat of the day.
Those end of river lazy days,
Toes in cool moorland water
Backs 'sunny side up' and sizzling.
Where laughter slips easily into the warm afternoon
Like a cool drink on a parched and waiting throat
You know Those laid back days
With the feel of Miles Davis blowing Some good, good notes
While you watch the sun dappled leaves and think of nothing at all
Nothing seems to matter and you really don’t care
And someone passes you a taste of Africa neatly rolled
Its memory pungent drifts with the conversation
That hums with the shimmering heat
And a woman’s laughter sprinkles itself delicately
Like a wind-chime over the happy gathering
Sure you remember those days
Full of loving and gentle games
Easy on the soul
Where the children
Nut brown bodied played naked and innocent
Splashing cold joy...


I found my home
Dartmoor Stone
