Official video for the song Wander, from Feather, the new album by Edgelarks, released May 17th 2019. Listen to the album and preorder HERE: https://ffm.to/edgelarksfeather.oyd www.edgelarks.co.uk A song about accents, and the creeping homogenisation of the modern world; about the shapes of lives formed by capitalism, removed from the land; about how home should be defined by the work you put into building it, not by chance of birth place. A song of belonging, and of welcome. Lyrics: My father's father left the west when the war led him to roam His children they forgot the tongue that had been their father's home The shapes of words were broken, by the city's endless roar And the lines of accent spoken told their stories no more But it's not about your blood or the mud around your bones But the toil of your hands and the seeds they have sown The roots that you dig when you make your home For feet were made to wander I have a love for the land that I've known For the trees and fields by the sea where I've grown But I believe you should choose where you make your home For feet were made to wander Clearance and enclosure took our fathers from the land They forgot their tongues, forgot the sun on their backs They did not know their brothers, so how could they lend a hand? They did not know themselves, so how could they make a stand? The oak, and the ash, the bonny ivy, the bonny ivy tree, They're growing green in my own country, my own country Plants that know how to survive throw seeds to the wind They put down roots in the place they thrive - that's where they belong They make a wild garden, growing in the heart of town Such beautiful, varied weeds, they're hard to trample down
