Days of Winter
Words and music by Wifey
performed by Spriggan Mist
Released 03/12/2008
This song was writen by Wifey one Wednesday morning before work....by Saturday it was being recorded. A song written especially for Yule, it tells of how at the Winter solstice the sun is reborn and darker days start to become lighter as The Holly King gives up his reign to The Oak King as he does each year as that "Wonderous Wheel" that is mentioned in the song forever turns ....Winter becomes Spring ...summer becomes Autumn ...and then back to winter . This song is our celebration of this re birth. I get to play tambourine on this too..Woooo Hooo!
Ok ....on myspace I've kept this blog very proffesional here i'm going to be a bit more upfront...This song has had mixed reviews......We really did appreciate people's honesty (especially Mr Ts)and have taken a few views onboard but....
It is quite hymn like to a certain extent....and the message behind this although it has a very strong pagan theme to it, is celebrating the wonder of nature, the wheel of life. so whatever religion or your beliefs I liken this song as a prayer.
We are extremely proud of this piece of work and the feeling and reasons behind it makes the track
