This song - like the whole Secrets of the Beehive album - leaves me breathless... awash with gentle melody, so atmospheric and dripping with beauty.
Acoustic guitars roll on a painted lanscape; subltle fingers tug at long-forgotten memories...

"Sunlight falls, my wings open wide..."

Indeed, the kind of song that could make you fly!

Taken from a 13th or 14th century poem (Fairest between Lincoln and Lindsey) this song is quite heartbreaking in its simplicity.

What needs to be said, Nick Cave writes the best love songs and this is no exception.
