Man has the fields of heaven But soulless a Faery dies As a leaf that is old and withered And cold when the winter winds arise. Soon shall our wings be stilled And our laughter over and done So let us dance on the waves Let us dance in the sun. Soon shall our wings be stilled And our laughter over and done So let us dance on the waves Let us dance in the sun.

This truly is one of the most beautiful songs ever sung - I was not at all sure about Yeat's poetry being placed into song - But on this one occasion Mike Scott has worked a miracle. Can I suggest listening to this whilst stood on a high hill overlooking the rolling lands whilst the sun sets....Talk about being in the moment - and appreciating life before death takes us.... Soon Will our Wings Be Still.

It is beautiful and a fitting tribute to Yeats, but don't you think other poems-songs on the album also work?

There is a lot more to it than that. The poem seems to relate to the Sidhe who are lamenting their final fling with this world before surrendering Ireland to the Milisiens. That in itself is interestin, but all the more so when you consider Yeats was part of the Gaelic revival movement in Ireland at the start of the 20th century. Although a very ancient theme at the hearet of Ireland's recorded history in Leabhar Gabhála Éireann (The book of invasions), The work can also be related back to Irish culture and the language and where it now finds itself in modern times. It is a very subtle double whammy really and the stuff of genius. The poem takes the last days of the Sidhe and their loss to the Irish people and then parallels that in a modern context to the Irish people going through the same turmoil with the decline of Gaelic culture. How clever is that?

Interesting that Mike has over-dubbed himself as the echo. Katie comes in with that haunting wordless singing at the end -- the dirge (also over-dubbed). Very beautiful.
