AFTER THIS DAY Nothing will be the same after this day The words of David came through As if it were your voice How could I not hear How could I not hear it So pure and strong It will remind me Remind me A strange mix stuck in my chest Full stretched feathers heavy to rest Wings round your neck Keep you safe First time I've prayed First time I've prayed And I will sing Over your body as you leave The light is in your children You didn't know it came to us It crossed every water I had words before They disappeared Nothing will be the same after this day Nothing will be the same after this day And I will sing Over your body as you leave

HEARTBEAT The teachings handed down From child to child to child One steps out to find the light Another spark dies They are married sixty years Sixty years of push and pull They are married sixty years Sixty years of push and pull Heartbeat on wood Heartbeat on wood The glass has frosted over All they see is night The world is full of weeping Unquiet in its sleep Others dance and jump the waves Muffled sorrow above Drenched in watery hills Floating in love You know I love you dearer than the day before She looks to the window He leans against the door Heartbeat on wood Heartbeat on wood The tears fall down He can't look from up here I'm not better but I'm trying now I'm not better but I'm trying Blinded by the ether Losing and learning Clutching at hindsight And losing it all Keep my manner safe when it stays don't go cold Keep my manner safe when it stays don't go cold Keep my manner straight when it strays don't go cold Keep my manner safe when it stays don't go cold She looks to the window They've been married sixty years He leans against the door They've been married sixty years

about

This EP was made in 2012, maybe before. These songs have been sitting doing nothing while we have been busy doing things like playing other music and having 2 children. Nearly 10 years later, we have decided to share it with you. Please pay what you like and we hope you enjoy the music of Moats & Thrones.

Husband and wife Tom Herbert (The Invisible, Polar Bear) and Alice Grant (Matthew Herbert Big Band, Fulborn Teversham) draw on their years of playing pop, jazz and folk on London’s eclectic music scene to create a beautifully haunting and intimate sound world. ... more
