Like Rain 03:09
Rain, rain, go away; come again another day, I love you, but I need to be alone awhile. Absence makes the heart grow fonder; So they say, and so I'm telling you. So won't you let me rest awhile, won't you let me catch my breath? Won't you let me catch my breath, oh, won't you let me rest? If a belly's full, you can't eat another dinner, So let me fast, love, let me fast awhile. And then when you return, oh, I'll be a hungry beggar, I'll be a hungry beggar love, when I return to you. I've never been this blunt before; Can't you see, it hurts me so? But you are hard with me, my love, I must be hard with you, I must be hard with you, my love, for you are hard with me. I love you like I love the rain, But like a field, under deluge I can flood. And there's no air under water, dear, that I can breathe while drowning; No, I can't breathe while drowning for in water there's no air. Rain, rain, go away; come again another day, I love you, but I need to be alone awhile.

Pomnish Li 03:01
Pomnish li libe todore, Koga se dvitsa lubevme U chi chovoto gradinche Pod chi chovoto maslinche U chi chovoto gradinche Pod chi chovoto maslinche Na edna granka stoevme Vishne si stretsni zobevme Luta si kletva da dovme Koj prven ke se odzeni Luta si kletva da dovme Koj prven ke se odzeni

As I went out one Sunday, My true love passed me by. I knew her mind had altered By the roving of her eye. By the roving of her eye, by the roving of her eye; I knew her mind had altered By the roving of her eye. My love is fair and proper, Her hands are neat and small, And she is quite good looking, And that's the best of all. And that's the best of all, and that's the best of all; And she is quite good looking, And that's the best of all. Oh Hannah, loving Hannah - Come give to me your hand. You said, if you were to marry, That I would be the one. That I would be the one, that I would be the one; You said, if you were to marry, That I would be the one. I'll go down by the river When everyone's asleep, And think on loving Hannah And then lay down to weep. And then lay down to weep, and then lay down to weep; I'll think on loving Hannah, And then lay down to weep. As I went out one Sunday, My true love passed me by.

Little Bird 03:49
Perhaps my life is yearning for a friend as good as you But my heart, it is a little bird, can you feel it fly to you? Soft like a sparrow, but strong enough to face The wild winds all blowing around this lonely place. CH: You're there when my mind is clear, clearer than the sky There when my mind is clear, clearer than the sky We danced in the summertime and the bees hummed around Your eyes they were shining, we didn't touch the ground The fiddles were playing from dawn 'til the night And somewhere, oh somewhere, a little bird took flight CH I'll see you soon now, and my heart will shine bright My heart will shine forever, clear across the sky Your kindness and beauty can't be compared For you I am seeking, across the sunny fair CH

about

Five traditional and original folk songs, gathered in our travels, and relishing the joy of vocal harmonies in a resonant space.

Red Grenadier are Elly Arran (vocals, violin, guitar) and Missy Jones (vocals, viola, thump).


ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
There’s some very important thankyous that made this EP possible:
Simon, for his help, guidance and patience; Nancy & James for the last minute lend of a lovely guitar; St Andrew’s Psalter Lane community for the lend of their church; and Naomi, for housing us and putting up with our strange hours during recording!

But also to those who helped shape who we are as people: Our mums and grandmums for being such strong role models; Mick for being there; John & Nic for helping get us together in the first place; Father Ted for getting us through the hard times; everyone who ever plied us with boardgames, Stones or Guinness; and Woodford F.F. for providing such resonant ablution blocks when we were younger and even more impressionable.
