that passed away; so may this
memento, homo, quod cinis es et in cenerem reveris
erthe oute of erthe is wonderly wroghte; erthe hase geten one erthe a dignite of noghte
erthe upon erthe hase sette alle his thoghte; how that erthe upon erthe may be heghe broghte
erthe upon erthe wolde be a kinge; but howe erthe to erthe shall thinkes he no thinge
when erthe bredes erthe and his rentes home bringe;thane shall erthe of erthe have full harde partinge
erthe upon erthe winnes castells and towrres; thane saye erthe unto erthe, ‘this is alle ourres’
when erthe upon erthe hase bigged up his bowrres; thane shall erthe for erthe suffere sharpe scowrres
erthe gone upon erthe as molde upon molde; he that gose upon erthe, gleterande as golde;
like as erthe never more go to erthe sholde - and yitt shall erthe unto erthe gathere than he wolde
now, why that erthe luves erthe, wondere me thinke; or why that erthe for erthe sholde other swete or swinke;
For when that erthe upon erthe es broghte within brinke; thane shall erthe of erthe have a foulle stinke
mors solvit omnia

Excellent medieval folk, IGR, & those with ears to hear. I love the sense of mysticism and deep, introspective ponder this album conveys, & the honest down-to-earth folky lyrics. Simply wonderful yet soulfully rich. Highlights for me are tracks 2, 5, 6, & 12. IGR truly capture what I feel is an authentic sense of a medieval bard at a woodland rill pondering the mysteries of life. Highly recommended. 8.5+/10. Alrihkh

Absolutely sublime, atmospheric, and ethereal record that never ceases to entertain me. Definitely the best album I have ever obtained via bandcamp -highly recommended. David Gervais
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2023
