Kris Drever - Dark Secret - Isolation Days

This is a song I wrote for the trio I play in called Lau. Initially it was inspired by the book The Outrun by Amy Liptrot and deals with my memories of certain cultural aspects of Orkney although I'd confidently say you'll find something similar in the wider Scottish Island groups. If I have a dark secret, then I don't know what it is, If I had a hard childhood then I cant remember it, born on the isle of horses where there's nothing else to do, some say it's gods own country, it wasn't that for me or you. I didn't go to school you know, It's a wonder that I'm here at all When we get to the bottom of the bottle I am reminded of my childhood bed when I see you through the bottom of the bottle, I know that we won't leave despite the things we said. We all drink like fishes and we act out how we feel, Punching holes in plaster, getting naked to feel real, here comes the latest comedown and it tastes just like the last, this town's as good as your town and any others you might have passed. I'm like a riverbed formed long ago, tangled and slow, all twisted up in lazy bows. When we get to the bottom of the bottle I am reminded of my childhood bed when I see you through the bottom of the bottle, I know that we won't leave despite the things we said. https://www.lau-music.co.uk https://canongate.co.uk/books/2264-th...
