The Holy Well The Oceans have their source As have the shallow springs And love is love, in beggars And in Kings True hearts ears and eyes No tongues to speak They hear and see and sigh Then they break Hopeful eyes will search the skies but never see Praying to a God who will not hear Never knowing who she was to be Words are forming as they disappear The willow bears no fruit And hangs his head to weep With whispered lullabies He’ll send her to her sleep Hopeful eyes that search the skies will someday see Praying to a God who now will hear Always knowing who she was to be Tender lips will kiss away a tear The willow bears no fruit And hangs his head to weep With whispered lullabies He’ll send her to her sleep

Friston to Cuckmere Here leaps ashore the full Sou’ West All heavy wind with brine Here lies above the folded crest The Channel’s leaden line And here the sea fogs lap and cling And here/hear each warning each The sheep bells and the ship bells ring Along the hidden beach Here where the World is quiet Here where all trouble seems dead winds And spent waves riot in doubtful dreams of dreams I watch the green fields growing Reaping folk and sowing For Harvest Time and mowing A sleepy World of Dreams

ABOUT HEART OF OAK

"Trees comprises all the layers of a healthy and supportive jazz scene with a well-established history."

Heart of Oak is the debut album from ‘Trees’; an ‘unfeasibly large ensemble’ led by Brighton based bassist and composer Terry Pack.

Drawn from the musical imagination of the leader and inspired by his deep affinity for the hidden history of his native Sussex coast Heart of Oak is also informed by the knowledge gained from a lifetime of music making with players from across the world, from Chicago bluesmen to Indian Bansuri masters, from sun-drenched Italian hillsides to packed London rock palaces, always returning to the homeland that’s inspired him.

Trees is an inclusive group comprising up to 40 players and augmented by guest professional musicians keen to take part in this exciting new musical project. Imaginative, fresh arrangements of classic tunes fuse seamlessly with innovative compositions by Terry Pack and by band member Hilary Burt.

“Trees is a coming together of players and singers, willingly giving their time and their talents to fill in the colours of the background or to populate the foreground with a cavalcade of unique characters.”
Eddie Myer
