about

Inspired by Oscar Wilde's fairy tale 'The Canterville Ghost', this song appeared on my 5th solo album, Apple Pentacle, in 2005, our 3rd release on French fairy-world label Prikosnovénie.

'Three apples fell from heaven. One for the teller, One for the listener, and One for the one who took it to heart.'
- an Armenian folk ritual for story-ending

lyrics

When a golden girl can win
prayer from out the lips of sin
When the barren bough bears
and a little child gives away its tears
Then shall all the house be still
and peace come to Canterville.

A golden girl can win
from the lips of sin
Come to Canterville!
And the ghost spoke again
And his voice was the wind

Lyrics & Melodies: Louisa John-Krol
Angel Harp: riff composed & thrummed by Louisa John-Krol*
Vocals, Windchimes: Louisa John-Krol
Paper Drum, other hand percussion, forest storm: Harry Williamson
Produced with & engineered by Harry Williamson at Spring Studio

*Harry Williamson designed and crafted the Angel Harp, a double-fretted guitar crossed with an auto harp, shimmering when strummed. At times it felt like a lap harp or table harp. You can also hear this bewitching instrument on an exquisite self-titled album by Faraway (Harry Williamson with Liz Van Dort) produced at the same studio.
