about

moggy on bass. we recorded these songs after completing our 2008 tour of the highlands in scotland. when we played on the isle of muck the Laird told us we were the first people like us to come and play that sort of music on the island ever... and that he was glad we came.

lyrics

the goal of the tradition is to tell you whats on
before you step out into the world on your own
and the traditional going out on your own is part of that tradition.

our parents tell us stories that they heard when they were children
from parents who heard stories from their parents when they're children.
to guide us in our choices as we build on the existing tradition.

where would we be if we never strayed from our path,
or it we never listened as well?
the side that we don't see when we lean too hard against the wind;
the engine gets a running, the cycle starts humming...

and we never see the truth.

the tendency to say that it's running away
and that all of our tomorrows are like our yesterday
the trouble with the life is the story that we love to unfold.

that human nature is to take without thought
that we've got to hold what's ours no matter what
that the strongest beat the weakest and the strongest are the greediest.
