Equinox, pagan wheel
September wasn't built in a day
And my stay has taken a turn
through August moon I say
To my sister, don't you worry
Brother it will be ok
Mother don't you ever feel you're alone
Maybe, Father, we can find a way
We are alive
Adam paints angry pictures
Tough love in a boiler suit
And I have been so low But now
I'm older I know I'll get through
Hill and lake, fields of green
Beauty like I've never seen
But give me street life
'Cos it's the only life I want to know
I am alive.

For me this is both a beautiful song on a literal level and an allegory for living the socialist life - 'you wish all the wrong things in the world could be right'... 'If we collect all the strays and make them feel safe, there'll be some more out there to keep us awake.' Chris Clark
Welsh art-rock group HMS Morris make music full of plot twists; explosive, colorful rhythms can turn into shadowy introspection on a dime. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 22, 2020
