    Five songs - Inspired by the landscape, stories and characters linked to the Scottish Highlands. The cover (art by highland artist Claire Innis) contains the stories behind the songs. ‘Big Brown Sky’ and ‘Gibraltar Farm’, first heard on Morganisation’s ‘Bubbles’ album, are now remixed and re-mastered; ‘Still’ and ‘The Eyes of Lochaber’ birthed out of Dave's highland experience. Finally it's time to leave and ‘Not in Narnia’ is Dave's tongue in cheek lament of heading back down the M6.

about

The Highland journey begins with ‘Big Brown Sky’ which was an idea birthed while we were staying near Edinburgh around the time of the Scottish referendum. You can hear the bit about ‘Celidgh Al, as bold as brass… ’ – referring to Alex Salmon, the Scottish leader at the time.

lyrics

I was down in the boondocks
on the Edinburgh Road
banging on the door to the Mother Lode
when Ceilidh Al, as bold as brass
was coming down the mountain
on his Whisky Poet glass
And I‘m under the Big Brown Sky
watching the changes fly
and hearing them call out my name
as the wind and the rain go by

They talk up a future in poetic rhyme
standing on the parapet of Auld Lang Syne
feelings run high and faces are red
everybody’s shouting out but not a word is said
And I‘m under the Big Brown Sky
watching the changes fly
and hearing them call out my name
as the wind and the rain go by

So take a cup of kindness, hang it on the wall
don’t let nobody touch it no, no one at all
There’s only so much water can go under the bridge
before I get a molecule to pass down to my kid
under the Big Brown Sky
watching the changes fly
and hearing them call out my name
as the wind and the rain go by

Ceilidh light, don’t leave me lone tonight
Ceilidh light, come keep me warm tonight
Ceilidh light, I need you by my side
