This song embodies human yearning and longing for the connection that is really, truly, our birthright as living beings on this planet. Let's bring each other back to LIFE, and include those who we feel we don't understand and who feel they don't understand us. This song is part of what feeds me to do such work. Thank you, Sam.
Last time I know a brilliant UK band came to US - Hers- 💜- only ~25 yrs old, them & tour manager were hit & killed in their tour van by a reckless driver in Arizona. Wow great job USA. Paris never killed any of the American geniuses who had to run away from the US to save their lives & careers. Miles Davis was healthy & happy in Paris before he came back to US & got beat in the head by cops for standing on the sidewalk under his own billboard, on his own set break. Even today, I get the impression that a lot of American artists prefer touring overseas. Like Jim White for example lives in FL/from there, and he just goes and plays in the UK & about for a few months and like three shows in US. Mr. Sam Lee might like the Appalachians & Ozarks though, amoung other natural wonders. Come vaca and don’t drive, drivers are crap in the US they will literally kill you for an extra five minutes or to prove their vehicle is larger, faster, stronger.
Good to meet you today at Green Scythe Fair. So true re walking - we were healed after a great trauma in our life and this wonderful quote rang true: “Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being & walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, & the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.” Soren Kierkegaard. Will defo watch the film. Best wishes, Rob (Rivers Of England)
I think this is my favourite so far. Such a stunning tribute to the journey of pilgrimage, the wonderful days we have shared, the sacred places we have honoured and that have honoured us and the beautiful people we have met on the pathways and shared our stories and joy, tears and silence with.
Wonderful song from a wonderful album. Played it four times today and there are three or four quite sublime tracks with inspirational lyrics and beautiful melodies. 👍
I adore this song, so beautiful in every way and because listening to this today I have discovered Sam Lee. What a gem. Feeling happy and inspired to walk and paint. Thank you Sam Lee.
Lyrics: When the land whispers don’t be a stranger That irresistible call to come home To the wondering swearing allegiance Renew an old contract to roam I felt in my heart a great yearning Leave a life so beholden to time So I packed up my promise to face the uncertain To attend to lost loves and landlines Seven miles I will walk so uncertain Seven miles I will walk in delight Seven miles in consolable morning Seven more unquestionably right Some miles my heart will be empty Some I will rage and I’ll cry Some miles I will crawl like a motherless baby But the last mile I will take to the sky Land journeys outshine destinations Intuition now destined our fears Let blisters be teachers with blessings bestow Let the darkness restore us as if I’ll make these pathways my companion Be witnessed by what can not be seen Be peregrine, be pasture, be tiny, be faster Be soft as green moss and be free

Today I discovered you on a Podcast. Today, this song made me uncontrollably weep. Thank you for that!
So beautiful 🥲
Gorgeous and triumphant! Please consider coming to America. ❤

Beautifully sang and arranged as always with just a hint of Arvo Pärt's "Spiegel im Spiegel".
Ah . As you too noticed

Wonderful song from a wonderful album. Played it four times today and there are three or four quite sublime tracks with inspirational lyrics and beautiful melodies. 👍

Lyrics:
When the land whispers don’t be a stranger
That irresistible call to come home
To the wondering swearing allegiance
Renew an old contract to roam
I felt in my heart a great yearning
Leave a life so beholden to time
So I packed up my promise to face the uncertain
To attend to lost loves and landlines
Seven miles I will walk so uncertain
Seven miles I will walk in delight
Seven miles in consolable morning
Seven more unquestionably right
Some miles my heart will be empty
Some I will rage and I’ll cry
Some miles I will crawl like a motherless baby
But the last mile I will take to the sky
Land journeys outshine destinations
Intuition now destined our fears
Let blisters be teachers with blessings bestow
Let the darkness restore us as if
I’ll make these pathways my companion
Be witnessed by what can not be seen
Be peregrine, be pasture, be tiny, be faster
Be soft as green moss and be free
*roam*
(not Rome)
*peregrine*
(not paragreen)
