Linked to the moon, fertility, divination and shape-shifting, the hare is believed to have a range of spiritual powers in both England and Tuva.

lyrics

I am Hare.
I can save your soul and bring you life,
I can steal your spirit and bring you strife,
For - I am Hare.

With mortar and pestle, Moon Hare sounds
Your time on earth with every pound,
Riding the rhythms, you will hear,
A silvery sound, soft but clear, singing:

Heavenly Hare springs from her form,
Carrying the light of the Spirit of Dawn,
Drumming and dancing, circling the earth,
Scattering moonbeams, bringing rebirth, singing:

Leaping and creeping, Mountain Hare,
Last in the corn when the reapers appear,
Dodging old Gos, swooping higher,
Racing with the hounds, flaunting the fire, singing:

When the moon is dark, Ghost Hare’s about,
Don’t try to follow, don’t try to shout,
My shape I change, a last farewell
To those I love, only they can tell, singing:

Wise all- knowing, Boudica’s Hare,
Leapt from her bosom, into the air,
Bucking and weaving, her battle plan drew,
For Iceni’s victory, the Romans she slew, singing:

When Noah found a leak, Lady Hare
Plugged it with her body to do her share,
‘Fine Jack’ Hare, all alone,
Gave birth to ‘Sally’ and both went home, singing:

Chorus: We are Hare.
We can save your soul and bring you life,
We can steal your spirit and bring you strife,
For - We are Hare.

The Brown Girl and Other Folk Songs
by Angeline Morrison

supported by 5 fans who also own “I am Hare/ Hare in the Corn”

The superlatives and adjectives stack up and seem all too obvious to give this piece of work the credit it deserves, in short bad poetry would devalue the purity of the project; but lets check them off, haunting, moving, achingly beautiful, soulful, unsettling, emotive, heart-breaking and warmly consoling, a thing of profound beauty- everything a grown-up audience could want from a grown up collection. Thank you Angeline. Neil S. Reddy

Bold Reynold David Carroll and Friends
by David Carroll and Friends from Fairport and Gryphon

supported by 5 fans who also own “I am Hare/ Hare in the Corn”

David Carrol joins with friends from Fairport Convention and Gryphon to bring us this absolutely lovely progressive folk release. Comprised of mostly traditional tunes, along with stellar covers of David Cousins' "The Battle," and Andy Barnes’ “The Last Leviathan.” Utilizing both period (crumhorns, cor anglaise, uilleann pipes, fiddle, tabla, bouzouki and dulcimer) to modern (bass, drums and electric guitar) instrumentation, this is timeless and thoroughly enjoyable.
