Fairport Convention – Matty Groves from Liege & Lief, 1969.

Fairport Convention – Matty Groves Lyrics
(Based on a 17th Century Folk Ballad)

A holiday, a holiday,
And the first one of the year.
Lord Darnell’s wife came into the church
The Gospel for to hear

And when the meeting it was done
She cast her eyes about
And there she saw little Matty Groves
Walking in the crowd

“Come home with me, little Matty Groves,
Come home with me tonight.
Come home with me, little Matty Groves
And sleep with me ’til light”

“Oh I can’t come home, I won’t come home
And sleep with you tonight!
By the rings on your fingers I can tell
You are Lord Darnell’s wife”

“What if I am Lord Darnell’s wife,
Lord Darnell’s not at home.
He is out in the far cornfields,
Bringing the yearlings home”

And a servant who was standing by
And hearing what was said
He swore Lord Darnell he would know
Before the sun would set

And in his hurry to carry the news
He bent his breast and ran
And when he came to the broad mill stream
He took off his shoes and swam

Little Matty Groves he lay down
And took a little sleep
When he awoke, Lord Darnell
Was standing at his feet

Day 01 — Your favorite song

Posted by Heather On March - 16 - 2010

30 Days of…
Day 01 — Your favorite song

I think it’s pretty obvious that I love music. I have so many ‘favorites’ from so many different genres that it would be almost impossible to choose just one. A few that immediately come to mind are:

Blue Cheer – Peace of Mind
Iron Butterfly – In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
Bread – Everything I Own
Cat Stevens – Trouble

I’m going to go ahead and post White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane for today’s song. I heard it in Supernatural last night, which reminded me that I’d been meaning to post it. So many cultural references – The Matrix, Alice in Wonderland, Lost, etc.

Mirrors

Posted by Heather On February - 24 - 2010

Mirrors have always been featured prominently in Lost. In Season 6, Episode 5: The Lighthouse we see a Who poster (I think – see images below) in Jack’s son David’s room. We saw Jack’s childhood home in the lighthouse mirrors and then we saw Jack smash the mirrors. Since I love The Who, I’m posting a couple of possibly relevant songs from Tommy.
