about

Words & Music by O'Hooley & Tidow

When Flynn was only a few weeks old, we were walking near our home with him in the sling and we saw our neighbour, Matthew carrying the back legs of his beloved Alsatian, Ted, on what was his last day. The most tender moment we had ever witnessed.

lyrics

Waking up in the half light
Our baby’s feet above his head
Awake to a new day
Matthew and Ted
Heading up the back road
Deep into the woods
Symphonic chorus
While others dream of work
Familiar tread

In the High North
Ted’s adventure begins
Whilst our son
Dandles in his sling
A seam of good weather
Ourselves and boy take shape
Ted runs unfettered
Steep summits reached
As our little laddie sleeps

We’re all animals, searching for a lead
Someone to follow home
Belong and be

Sun warms the trodden
As we witness Ted’s last day
Unable
His back legs gave way
Looking at his faithful friend
Trusting in his gaze
Tenderly carried
Whilst our boy
Takes his first steps any day

And we talk and wonder
Of this most tender of men
With no need to overpower
His best friend
When I think of love
And I ask what love is
I think of Matthew and Ted
Matthew and Ted
