    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 grandeur of the Scottish landscape harbors many secrets, and one of them is that more than 3,000 secret agents were trained in the Lochaber region during the war. ‘The Eyes of Lochaber’ is my musical homage to that weighty enterprise.

lyrics

Oh the Eyes of Lochaber are open wide
but they won’t let on where the blue caps hide
til the Kingdom falls on the other side
Go Laddie Go, Go Laddie Go

Well the whistle blows as the train steams west
And the men on board are the worst and the best
but freedom rides on their success
Go Laddie Go, Go Laddie Go

Oh the Eyes of Lochaber
They are following me
Oh the Eyes of Lochaber
Hard as the rain til the struggle and the pain
is just a memory

Oh the Eyes of Lochaber
from the sky down to the sea
Oh the Eyes of Lochaber
flying like a buzzard in his skyscraper cupboard
looking down on me

As I’m walk along that path again
that once was trod by the best of them
I can hear that song across the Glen
Go Laddie Go, Go Laddie Go

Oh the Eyes of Lochaber are watching still
From every heart on every hill
when freedom calls free men will
Go Laddie Go, Go Laddie Go
