about

I wrote this song to feature in a storytelling / shadow puppet show of Grimm's 'The Handless Maiden' I was working on back in 2011. This piece introduced the part of the story where the Handless Maiden is first introduced - sweeping the blossom beneath the apple tree and tempting fate!

lyrics

There is something in the air today (knock heel knock toe x 2)
Whispers to me through the trees (knock heel knock toe step across, shuffle step across diggidy)
Tells me a change is coming I can’t stop (pick and shuttle)
All that is familiar I must leave (break)

Like the blossom you are beautiful (reel step x 2)
Ripe and ready for the knife (twist)
Just as in the apple there’s a five point star (Josephine)
Inside your heart there is new life (break)

(= Clog Steps)
