lyrics

Will you go to the rolling of the stones,
The tossing of the ball?
Or will you go and see pretty Susie
Dance among the moors,

I won’t go to the rolling of the stones
The tossing of the ball
For I will go and see pretty Susie
Dance among the moors,

They had not danced a single dance,
Not half the floor around,
When the sword that hung from her brother’s side,
Gave him a fatal wound,

They picked him up they carried him along,
They laid him on the ground,
And there he lay til the break of day,
Made not a single sound,

Susie came, she came wandering by,
A tablet under her arm,
And when she came to her true love's grave,
She began to charm,

Susie charmed the birds from out the sky,
the fish from out of the bay,
She charmed her true love out of his grave,
Where he could no longer stay,

Will you go to the rolling of the stones,
the tossing of the ball?
Or will you go and see pretty Susie,
Dance among the moors?

I won’t go to the rolling of the stones,
The tossing of the ball,
For I will go and see pretty Susie,
And dance among them all,

about

Gnarl Edinburgh, UK

Doom-Noise inspired by the landscapes and folklore of the British Isles.

Brooding guitars weave between layered field recordings and cascades of searing noise.

While some of the sources of my inspiration may have been co-opted by the far right, Gnarl will always remain fiercely anti-fascist.

FFO: Sunn O))), Bismuth, Harvestman, Nadja ... more

Heavenly and blissful drone music to fully surrender into the divine presence of the Godhead, The Lord along with Petra Haden's angelical voice brings us the mystical experience in this musical mantra where we're driven in celestial ecstasy and joyful wanderlust amidst the holiness of each song that compels to worship creation with the sound of the sacred spheres. Pure musical beauty to leave you gleeming in magnificent awe. josedenoche
