about

NOTE FROM ARTIST:
The recording period of the Blake songs was just after Christmas of 2014 during the school holidays.

The boys, very young, hung around playing games while I practiced songs and vocals.

On several occasions, Nico, at the time 9 yrs old, kept singing… ’Merry, Merry Sparrow, under leaves so green…’ over and over , while playing on his own on the floor. After a while it occurred to me that I should ask if he would like to sing it and… he declined.

I waited a moment and then said: Nico, it’s possible that some 30 or 40 years from now you’ll come across this recording and while listening to it you’ll say, “Wow! I remember this moment with dad”. He looked at me and said, “Ok dad, I’ll do it!”

He sang it like he wished, in one take. Definitely one of my all time favorite memories.

lyrics

The Blossom

Merry, Merry Sparrow!
Under leaves so green
A happy Blossom
Sees you swift as arrow
Seek your cradle narrow
Near my Bosom.

Pretty, Pretty Robin!
Under leaves so green
A happy Blossom
Hears you sobbing, sobbing,
Pretty, Pretty Robin,
Near my Bosom.
