about

1.Andreas, a vagrant who sleeps beneath bridges by the Seine, meets an elderly stranger, who out of christian charity gives him 200 francs. Andreas accepts the money on the proviso that he's allowed to pay back the money at some later date. The stranger tells him to go to the Chapelle de St Marie des Batignolles, which houses a beloved statue of St Thérese de Lisieux, and give the money to the priest there.

lyrics

Under the bridge I sleep
Paris is cold and unfriendly
Then one spring eve an old man
Came down the steps to me
Saying God sent him here
To this riverbank
To give to me
200 francs

I am a man of honour
I'll pay you back, have no fear
He said d'you know of Therese
At the Chapelle of St Marie
Sunday morning
Go see the priest
You owe it to her
St Therese

Steve Collins gathers various musicians around him to bring some lovely English-styled acid/psych folk to light. Thoroughly drenched in lysergia, as well as bardic tradition, it is comprised of male and female vocalists, viola, violin, recorder, accordion, and acoustic and electric guitars. It evokes simpler times, as the stories of old unfold, by those who carry this tradition forward, while honouring the past. Nickie Harte Kelly

I usually haaaate autotune voices, but done this way it's brilliant. When enough craftsmanship is used. Hard to pick a favourite from this great album. One of my favourites of the year! soundofperpetualastonishment
