So much love and so much hope in this song. It's about putting yourself back together after your world ends.

How did I just learn about this album now through listening to Joachim Witt?!
Thx @neil-gaiman ❤️
Where's Neil When You Need Him? is a tribute album based on the works of fantasy writer Neil Gaiman.
The album was released on Dancing Ferret Discs on July 18, 2006. The CD has cover art by Dave McKean and extensive new liner notes from Neil Gaiman and Patrick Rodgers.
The album's title was taken from the song "Space Dog", by Tori Amos. Amos became a long-time friend and collaborator of Neil Gaiman after she made a reference to him in the 1991 song "Tear in Your Hand". (She had also made references to Gaiman and his work in her songs "Horses", "Hotel", "Carbon", "Not Dying Today", and "Sister Named Desire".) "Sister Named Desire" is the only work on this album that had previously appeared elsewhere. (The song was originally released as a B-side to Amos' track "Talula".) It was remastered specifically for this release at the same time that other Amos tracks were being cleaned up for her compilation Tales of a Librarian.
Track listing:
Rasputina - "Coraline" (Coraline)
ThouShaltNot - "When Everyone Forgets" (American Gods)
Tapping the Vein - "Trader Boy" (The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish)
Lunascape - "Raven Star" (Stardust)
Deine Lakaien - "A Fish Called Prince" ("The Goldfish Pool")
Thea Gilmore - "Even Gods Do" (American Gods)
Rose Berlin featuring Curve - "Coraline" (Coraline)
Schandmaul - "Magda Treadgolds Märchen" (The Sandman)
Hungry Lucy - "We Won't Go" (The Wolves in the Walls)
Voltaire - "Come Sweet Death" (Death of the Endless)
Future Bible Heroes - "Mr. Punch" (Mr. Punch)
Razed in Black - "The Endless" (The Endless from The Sandman)
The Crüxshadows - "Wake the White Queen" (MirrorMask)
Ego Likeness - "You Better Leave the Stars Alone" (Stardust)
Azam Ali - "The Cold Black Key" (Coraline)
Joachim Witt - "Vandemar" (Neverwhere)
Tori Amos - "Sister Named Desire (New Master)" (The Sandman)

New Thea Gilmore EP!!!
WAS
(Absolutely no reason to assume anyone who follows me is a Thea Gilmore fan but she’s an utterly amazing singer/songwriter and these four tracks as really good.)
(You would not believe just how many of her songs end up on my writing playlists as character-specific tunes.)

Meet me by the ruined tower
Meet me in your final hour
Meet me as the sun goes down
And we’ll dance...
We will dance to the music of this motorway
We will dance to the drums of the street cabaret
I don’t care if all of our steps come out wrong
‘Cause you see we’ve been here all along
And we’ll dance...
Gilmore, Thea. "And We'll Dance"

I really love the whole album Strange Communion at this time of year, but this is particularly beautiful on a winter solstice evening.

Thoughts of Doll Hypnovember Day 13
Day 13 - Post the lyrics to a song that is accidentally about hypnosis.
This Is How You Find The Way by Thea Gilmore
There are angels in the intervals and angels in the stars
There are angels in the radiowaves
And I just found my prophet on the wrong side of the bar
He says that he's been hanging round for days
And he says I'm downward bound
And no map could save me now
But it's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day
One beautiful mistake
And this is how you find the way
There are angels in abbreviations, angels in the slang
There are angels in our quiet little wars
From the word that you were taught on the day you first began
To the gospel according to Murphy's Law
But it's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day
One beautiful mistake
And this is how you find the way
And it's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day
Go and claim your place
Cos this is how you find the way
You find the way
I'll be your cynic for the evening
But even I can start believing
In the restless on the road
Cos it's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day
One beautiful mistake
And this is how you find the way
And it's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day
Go and claim your place
Yeah cos this is how you find the way

Sol Invictus is upon us once again friends, Romans, and countrymen. Here's a nice song with that title.

Heartbreak...comes quickly as an earthquake,
Quiet as a snowflake, heavy as the sky,
She speaks in colours to me, even through the pain...

Christmas folk
The folk music that marks the midwinter holiday is often a step away from Christmas schmaltz. New post, and playlist, at Around The Edges.
I have a piece over at the folk music site Salut Live on seasonal folk music, focussing on music from Britain with a small nod to Ireland.

The worst thing about Christmas is that if the carols don’t get you, the Christmas standards will, whether these come from the ranks of the tinsel-wrapped edition of the Great American…
