I am the keeper of secrets
I keep my back to the wall
I am their mother and their daughter
They think I know nothing at all
Assertion is aggressive
Ambition a barren place
Pink is our prison
Language honed to subjugate
A right to education
Like fearless Malala
I am a woman in space
We've been choke chained and muted
Fitted with concrete shoes
Wings clipped and tethered
Assembled to be consumed
When we look at Earth from above
Swimming in the silent sea
There are no borders or limits
A pale blue dot is all we see
Holding it in tension
Like Valentina Tereshkova
Martin is one of the finest steel string finger style guitarists on the planet as well as a great singer. Simply beautiful heart felt music and I highly recommend exploring his vast catalogue. Dan Ferguson
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
