Jennifer and Wayne would often times complain
Viewing a house where a factory remained
The singular reason they pulled out of the sale
It would never pass in pursuit of middle class
To wake up to that din, it really wouldn't do
How could they retire when the poor refused to?
When the poor refused to?
Clever Mrs B, she cared for herself
Preferring poppies to cigarettes I'd say
Found the poison nectar, draped in nicotine
Equivalent dose to 60 fags a day
Should we side with pest, or let human do its best?
Eradicate with ease, a hundred million years
The hum is the people is the sound
Of the people in the sound
Are the people in the sound
Of the people is the
Hum, is the buzzing is the sound
Of the buzzing of the bees,
Is the humming of the
Sound of the buzzing is the
Hum
Decisions from above, from those who have the means
To spray the common folk, expunge community
How lovely it must be
The hum is a factory is a mine is a playground is a hive is a garden is a school is a village is a choir is a forest is a town is a person is a group is a heart is a mind is a voice is the hum.

Thanks for the beautiful music Karine and Dave. it's been a while since I've felt so emotional listening to a new album. Every lyric is so beautifully supported by the piano parts. Laura-Beth Salter
Keening, yearning, captivating and lovely collection of songs, the sense of close performance all the more remarkable when you learn it was made during Covid lockdown in 2020. The ballads and poems set to music on this album might be hundreds of years old, and while they do have an air of immortal, ancient tradition about them, they sound utterly current. Badzie
