about

The Two Ravens (Corbies) is an 18th century poem referring to the cycle of life and death. Following this supernatural theme are two original tunes. The Charmed 3 refers to a card game where possessing a 3 is deadly for everyone else in the game. And certain people seem to always have them! Dramagical is the namesake of the album and is a word I created to describe an unbelievable scene I experienced in the Isle of Skye.

lyrics

As I was a-walking all alane
I heard twa corbies makkin a mane;
An’ tain unto the tither did say-o,
“Where shall we gang and dine the day-o
Where shall we gang and dine the day?”

“Its In behind yon auld fail dyke
I wot there lies a new-slain knight;
Nae mortal kens why he lies there-o
But his hound and his hawk and his lady fair-o,
His hound and his hawk and his lady fair.”


His hound is tae the hunting gane,
His hawk tae fetch the wildfowl hame;
His lady has ta'en anither mate-o
So we may mak our dinner sweet-0,
We may mak our dinner sweet.”

“Ye'll sit on his white hause-bane
And I'll pike out his bonny blue een;
Wi' many a lock of his golden hair-o
We'll theek our nest where it grows bare-o,
Theek our nest where it grows bare.”

“There’s many a one for him maks mane
But none shall ken where he has gane;
O'er his white bones when they are bare-o
The wind shall blow for evermair-o,
The wind shall blow for evermair.”

The winter it has come and past
And all the birds are big in their nest
But I’ll flee high abune them all
And sing a sang for summer, say
