Pure genius

Mind boggling genius x

[@LikeWhatever]

I need to be careful clicking on as yet unwatched Tim Smith & Cardiacs videos because I inevitably remain stuck in my seat for the entire running time.

[@grahammarsh4652]

Cardiacs fan for 25 years and only discovered this today. Tim could have done these on the spoons and the genius would still shine through. Such a shame it couldn't continue.

Holy God on high thank you for yet ANOTHER hidden level of TIM

[@markgriffiths4826]

The lyrics to the untitled new one are taken from the poem Heaven Haven by Gerard Manley Hopkins.
Heaven-Haven
A nun takes the veil

I HAVE desired to go
Where springs not fail,
To fields where flies no sharp and sided hail
And a few lilies blow.
And I have asked to be 5
Where no storms come,
Where the green swell is in the havens dumb,
And out of the swing of the sea.

Fantastic, thanks for the information!

Its a song from On The Dry Land by The Sea Nymphs, another Tim Smith band if you didn't already know. It was recorded in the 90s but only released last year, apparently due to superstition.

[@mrjollypantsjolly]

Staggering brilliance of composition and delivery.

[@mattbrien5745]

Cheers for this, just amazing.

[@grimblegrumble]
