Lyrics - First House on the Left
There is a house on a hill
One little corner where time has stood still
And as though caught in some pendulum swing
I try to go but home pulls me back in
Centuries passed through this door
The stories we write have been told here before
All of their voices still breathe in these walls
It's as though things never change here at all
Oh is this the boat made of old bricks and mortar
That’s kept us afloat as we sail through the years?
Or is this the light that shines from the shoreline?
The port where we know we can rest?
Or Is it just the first house on the left?
The garden tells most of the tales
With fragments of china, old horseshoes and nails
Flower seeds planted by hands gone before
Asleep through the winter then blooming once more
And is this where they slept on the way to the jail?
Or the shop where the lady had sweeties for sale?
Or is this just the nest that was emptied by war?
Or the room where the next generation was born?
Oh is this the boat made of old bricks and mortar
That’s kept us afloat as we sail through the years?
Or is this the light that shines from the shoreline?
Pushing us out and then pulling us in
Or is it the rocks, so firm and unchanging?
Is it the port where we know we can rest?
Or is it just the first house on the left?

Wow. As always, perfect turns of phrase, viscerally felt chord progressions. So full of wonderful little surprises that strike the heart in a big way. And that voice, so beautiful! Katherine Priddy is an absolute gem, and hands down my favourite artist with a voice, a guitar, and something heartfelt to say. I'm always struck by the uniqueness and freshness of her view. There's nothing else quite like it. If someone wants to learn how to compose and perform great songs, they should study and learn from everything KP has done; she never puts a foot wrong, though the terrain appears new. From a gobsmacked Briton living in Vermont, cheers!

@thormusique I completely agree with all you have said, I find her voice and guitar playing so relaxing, love this new release, and I will definitely be buying the vinyl.

[@warrenwigutow1724]

A finely crafted short story, made of mystery and sung with the voice of a poet. Lovely.

[@stravellwood]

Sitting outside on a sunny autumn evening looking at the mountains of East Tennessee and just listened to this song for the first time and I can honestly say that it was truly a magical moment. All smiles as I'm typing this out. 😀😀😀

[@maryfitzpatrick9639]

How beautiful! I am sitting looking at the mountains near Inverness, Scotland. Weather here wild! But this song lifts my heart. 💝

[@simonsmith6945]

Made me cry. So beautiful.

[@chriswright5967]

Beautiful lyrics and music 👏👏👏

[@GregRobsonUK]

What an absolute gem. Brings a smile to the face and warmth to the heart.

[@Mo_Taser]

More beautiful work, Katherine. 👍

[@CLTTRAD]

The apparent simplicity of the song contrasts with the depth of the nostalgic feelings it evokes. A little master piece.

[@holybrook]

Oh KP. You have really done it this time! Beautiful song, beautifully produced. Lyrical gems and superb melody.

[@bridgetdewer4219]

[@MrRiverlord999]

Brilliant! ❤❤❤

[@halsinden]

i absolutely adore katherine's videos. what i really can't get past is how good that light roll-off is on the skintone for the vocal performance sections by the window. genuinely stunning bit of lighting there and i'll be kicking myself if it's natural daylight! hats off to robin beatty.

[@SamMcClarenGuitars]

Beautiful!!

[@Endless_Spiral]

Beautiful! Love your music! Thank you x

[@PaulRhodes-Gifford]

What a beautiful song! Have pre-ordered the new album. I change the CDs in the car regularly but The Eternal Rocks Beneath is ever present. Can't wait to have the new album.

[@davestubberfield6128]

I love this song ❤

[@MSTCND]

My friend Ian turned me on to this music when he posted his attendance at your St Mary's church, Cottingham Folk Festival gig. LOVE IT! ~ Andrew in America

[@amichan119]

Totally gorgeous. The perfect combination of history,poetry and music. And delivered with a voice that drops purity. X

Truly lovely. Surpasses all the songs on the playlist!

[@johngilligan7336]

Oh, Katherine. Your take on the world around you has a depth beyond what most of us see. Thank you so much. Its just wonderful.

[@francishickory287]

Fantastic! What a beautiful song and the video is very evocative. Kudos! You should be very proud, and I am very happy.

[@nigelwestwood4859]

My favourite track from this Beautiful Album..

[@PatMeruseye]

Wow.. This is really really BEAUTIFUL 💜 Melodically & Visually appealing 🌿🍂🍃

[@AdeLeavy]

Could have been written in the thirties, it's so beautiful. Another wonderful song KP.

[@mikealexander7017]

Love this! Musically, like a good story, it takes some really nice and unexpected turns that nonetheless feel so right in hindsight that you wonder how you didn't see them coming. Really nice production & video too. Can't wait for the album! ❤

[@Chamiogirl]

Absolutely beautiful, have pre ordered the vinyl.

[@patriciayoung1488]

Just beautiful Katherine❤

[@moghobbystuff]

I’ve got something in my eye. Just beautiful..

[@andrewtaylor7484]

Please pay attention to this world-class artist. Thank you.

[@dunk_law]

Great song. The back to backs have many stories to tell, so a great place to shoot the vid, especially with the sweeties next door.

[@kevinward7498]

Beautiful, thank you

[@robwhite8230]

This is T S Eliot, '4 Quartets' isn't it, in a creative and moving way, I mean: "Dust in the air suspended Marks the place where a story ended Dust in breathed was a house The wall, the wainscot, and the mouse." Absolutely lovely and so observant and insightful.

[@kevinscott332]

Wonderful and looking forward to the album

[@peterreime3146]

Saw you last night in Brighton supporting the Unthanks. Fantastic gig and I actually enjoyed it a bit more than the main act!

[@spozpoetry4kids322]

[@mickhurley7305]

My father died recently, we are selling his house, a happy family's home, we were the last house on the left.

[@crispinkeith8945]

Shelagh McDonald, Bridget St John, style beauty.

[@myncimania]

Excellent track, just pre-ordered album :) Any chance of the first album being re-released on vinyl?

[@drychaf]

Suddenly a lovely video and a whole new album on its way! Great to hear from you again - the first album has remained a favourite. Here's a playlist to accompany it... kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoTdi2ZmfbNjobc

[@losangeleslovesyou]

🤍

[@bongdallion3435]

nostalgia, could use a fresh coat of paint

[@davidef4162]

Pleasant song, although the genius and emotions of Eurydice, Indigo and other songs of the last album are here in my opinion missing. I hope the other songs of the new album will improve my opinion....

[@jewelsweaver5865]

I've always been fond of old houses, and my imagination grew wings when I stepped inside them, so I found this song to be quite lovely. Your voice is beautiful as always.💜

[@DineshAPathum]

Beautiful 🌿

[@davemason9099]

Lovely - thank you
