Do you want me on your mind or do you want me to go on
I might be yours as sure as I can say
Be gone be faraway

Roses on parade, they follow you around
Upon your shore as sure as I can say
Be gone be faraway

Like fuel to fire

Into the town we go, into your hideaway
Where the towers grow, gone to be faraway
Sing quietly along

Pious words to cry into the under
Upon your shore as sure as I can say
Be gone be faraway

Oh what a day to choose
Torn by the hours
All that I say to you
Is like fuel to fire

Into the town we go, into your hideaway
Where the towers grow, gone to be faraway
Never do we know, never do they give away
Where the towers grow, only you will hear them say
Sing quietly along
Sing quietly along

Used on Vigil, a great BBC series. Worth a watch.

Cool song, a bit haunting and mysterious. Also used for the opening credits in the great TV series Vigil.

Can't help but hear faint whispers of Kate Bush. I think I love them both for similar reasons. And the way Agnes pronounces and times out words is wonderful!

Thanks to RadioParadise I've been exposed to this great talent along with Dead Can Dance. Three times I purchased tickets to their combined US tour and three times they had to cancel the tour due to Covid. At least there's still RadioParadise to present them to us.
Thank you William!

I was wrong.  Carnival Row season 2 is available on Amazon Prime.

I first heard the instrumental beginning of this song played for the opening credits on the Canadian detective series, "Cardinal" - haunting and captivating (the song that is).
To this day, it is the only series I've ever recorded and watched where I let the credits play through completely - every single time, just so I could hear the music.  And I've included it on every playlist, I've made since I found out who the artist was.  

You have probably already guessed the number rating I gave it.

Ouch, Bill!
As I and others have remarked before, Bill is a Master of the segue.
However, the last chorus of this beautiful song got stepped on by the opening bar of the following song, (Peter Gabriel's "Burn You Up, Burn You Down)."
I really hope this was a mistake, to be edited out of the playlist before it plays again!
A few months ago, I actually heard Bill talking over the opening notes to a song. I had a little flashback to traumatic times with AM radio,circa 1970...
I have not heard that happen again, for which I am thankful.

This album is one of my favorites, especially for those long, near-midnight drives. 

Her simple, yet grand and sweeping sound, is something truly special - like as a listener, you're in on some secret only you & her share.

Of the 1764 Internet radio streams out there that you might really enjoy (all the RnB / Soul + Hard Rock / Metal + Classic Rock + Blues + Alt Rock + Adult Contemporary Rock), it's interesting that anyone would choose Radio Paradise (one of 326 Eclectic streams), only to complain on its format!

You miss the point entirely. I make no argument that it's bad because it's long and certainly made no reference to Beethoven - that was your attempt at sarcasm. I merely said that the song in question is not of sufficient depth and quality to warrant the running time. And yes, if she did "rush out to the studio and edit it down to 3 minutes" it would probably be a better song IMHO.

 
Are you sure all this bluster isn't just because you're getting a little long in the tooth?  PS I thought the attempt at sarcasm was well executed.

This will be another album to go on the Must Buy list. 9 from the moved Nottingham jury.

 
It's so rare to hear any work of art described as "heart-meltingly beautiful and poignant" these days, but it certainly seems appropriate here!
