about

This song was originally recorded in 2013 and was to be released as a single - this never happened - although some promo copies exist.
The song was completely transformed with all new instrumentation and drums in 2019 and appears here for the first time.
The juxtaposition of jazz rhythms featuring Jon Sharps exacting time signatures blends into full harmonic convergence with a great, grounded bass and guitar/synth patterns from the skilful Rob Williams.
Flattery for the half-time, slightly dragging vocal of fragile beauty from Karen – more like lace patterns around the wedding cake, embroidering a powerful central force. But this cake isn’t very sweet and promises some Miss Faversham moments; “take my hand and come to the lonely places, where the poor feed and grieve, take my hand and come”.
This is truly a tale of 21st Century Britain, couched in a jazz-folk polyrhythmic language that crosses the continents. Unusual, unsettling and by the time you get to the final chorus “Do you stop to think how you behave affects us? Do you have thicker skin, one that can’t protect us?” the chilling ex-machina delivery of Karen, underpinned by the mournful, lounging guitar of Rob, leaves a sad twist to a beautifully executed tale of imminent rebellion.

lyrics

Bones & Blood Rise Up
What kind of people are you, to tell us what to do?
Do you share, do you care, how do you sleep at night?
Can you dream of good, while you sleep?
Take care....................
Bones & Blood rise up ( x 10)

Take my hand and come to the lonely places, where the poor feed and grieve; to the lonely places take my hand and come.......
Bones & Blood rise up (x 20)

Do you stop to think how you behave affects us?
Do you have thinker skin, one that can't protect us?

(musical break)

Do you stop-to think how-you behave-affects us
Do you have-thicker skin-one that can't protect us. (x 10) (to end).

BABAL image

BABAL England, UK

One speaks and a thousand misunderstand
where millions are silent and a thunderous applause erupts
where chatter overwhelms humility and gossip destroys worlds
the tongues wag, the ears flap and the mind creates a wall
everything has been said but no one has understood
talking with conviction and concluding that knowledge is easy and effects a multitude of expanding smokescreens around truth ... more
