MY HOUSE

I’d build my house
On the shifting sand
By the water’s edge
In a far off land.

I’d build my house
With dreams and words
And shifting shapes
And the wings of birds.

I’d build my house
With songs and poems
And sharp salt sea
And mermaid foam.

I’d build my house
With lemon grass
And honey-combs
And flowers of glass

And there I’ll dream
With eyes open wide.
And never again
Will I want to hide.

Will you come with me?
Will you hold my hand?
Will you walk in the mist?
Will you walk on the sand?

And there we'll dream
With eyes open wide.
And never again
Will we want to hide.

Will you walk with me
To the rainbow’s end?
Where our house there stands
In our far-off land.

FOLKEST 2011 / HOLLAND AND PALMLEY DUO

In tutto, un’esperienza davvero piacevole, quello di FOLKEST 2011, nonostante l’estremo caldo e elevato tasso d’umidità mentre eravamo lì.
Abbiamo dato 3 concerti, tutti di grande successo e con un pubblico davvero fantastico.
Immerso nei paesaggi incantevoli di Friuli, ogni locazione era memorabile a modo suo.
La partecipazione del pubblico era meravigliosa, battendo le mani insieme a noi e ad un punto persino cantando insieme. Noi siamo venuti via con l’impressione dei Friulani come gente aperta, generosa d’anima e calda e ci ha fatto molto piacere conoscere e fare due chiacchiere con loro dopo ogni concerto.
Ci ha fatto particolarmente piacere vedere certe persone tornare sera dopo sera!! Ci fa pensare che allora qualcosa abbiamo fatto che andava bene!!
C’era una richiesta incredibile di CD che non avevamo previsto e quindi all’ultima sera in fatti li abbiamo finiti! Tuttavia se qualcuno leggendo questo non è riuscito a prendere un CD mentre era a FOLKEST, ci può sempre scrivere a lmcrecords2011@gmail.com



All in all a very pleasant experience, that of FOLKEST 2011, despite the extreme heat and humidity which had apparently reached record levels in the days we were there.
We gave 3 concerts, all of which were wonderfully received by a warm and appreciative audience.
Set in the beautiful countryside of Friuli, each location was memorable in its own way.
Audience participation was fantastic, clapping along and at one point even singing along with us. We came away with an impression of the people of Friuli as warm and open and we enjoyed meeting and chatting to people after each gig. It was particularly gratifying to see some people attending more than one concert and in some cases, all three!! It makes you feel you must have done something right.
The rush on CD sales was such that we did actually run out of CDs on the last night, but if anyone reading this was at FOLKEST and didn’t manage to get a copy, please feel free to write to us at lmcrecords2011@gmail.com
