From our 3rd CD Ariel, released on Prikosnovénie, France 2001.
‘Ever more free, / like loose kites, with edges of laughter,
we race through mid-air, wind-tattered.’
(‘Sonnets to Orpheus’, no. 26, Rainer Maria Rilke)
lyrics
Time to climb the mountain
my Name is calling, my Name is calling,
there’s the mountain!
mind torrent, boat fallen
nine doors and windows, I see
circles in the sky
shedding death’s desire
drum the fire on a maze of stairs and wire
you try and deliver Art onto a spoon
but in my balloon I drift into the Moon…
you climb all those mountains of lucidity
but in my balloon I drift into the Moon…
Free to ride the moment
my Bars are broken, Bars are broken,
gates are open!
bridges burning, eagle turning
circles in the sky, wings caress the stars
drum the fire on a maze of stairs and wire

Louisa is an Australian singer, composer, writer & faery storyteller who has released many albums of ethereal music on indie labels, primarily in France. She's completing a fantasy series, The Elderbrook Chronicles, with a soundtrack.
"All Becompassed by Stars" (Dandelion Wine): Genre-bending contemporary medieval trance, with psychedelic eclectic mix of modern & ancient instruments, quirky lyrics and sophisticated production. Louisa John-Krol
Haunting, ethereal, melancholy, with exquisite vocals and illustration by a multi-instrumentalist Spanish composer, who presents fabulous videos and is also a sweet, gentle faery. World, love her. Louisa John-Krol
This album carries one of my favourite recordings by this legendary mythic rock band: Adrienne's song 'The Children of Lir'. It's so good that it feels like a traditional ballad. Louisa John-Krol
