Creagan Na Mara, The stone of the Sea
This was written up on the tiny Isle of North Uist in the Hebrides. A stunning place of machair sands, lochs and mountains. The fragility of the landscape humbled us almost as much as the welcome we received. The name of the house we stayed in was called Creagan Na Mara, which means the stones of the sea, as the house itself was built from the stones found along the shoreline. It was almost surrounded by a sea loch, and the seal in the film really did pop up just meters from our back door!
Lovely vocal. Interesting contrasting extended melodic lines. Very folky imagery and narrative and vibe. Well done!
Beautiful and gentle. Love it. Wonderful video too! “Painted in colours pulled from the dawn” is a gem of a lyric.
Thanks Mike and Kris x
Gosh, I found myself getting immersed in this, it has a hypnotic feel. Reminds me a bit of Clannad, which is no bad thing. The video is fantastic, too. As ever a great package.
You create such a beautiful sense of the union of places & nature in your song. They’re woven together like your lyrics, melody & animation. The magic of the place is echoed in the magic of your music.
Lovely song, beautifully sung and with a great production. Really enjoyed listening to this!!
Just magical. You are a winning combination in every department. Beautiful song, gorgeous arrangement and that video 😍, wow! I’m in awe.
A song to drift away on, really beautiful.
That’s just gorgeous. Your vocal floats beautifully through the lyric, Mel’s guitar part is so complimentary of both and the video to complete the scene is awesome.
Beautiful! This really made me want to visit the Beautiful Scottish Isles
Gorgeous melody and imagery!
This song is so beautiful…rhythmically it matches the moves of the sea…..
