Papadil - Demo by Shirley Barr published on 2022-02-05T15:11:09Z Inspired by the poem 'Beccan of Rum' by poet Les Bates, from his collection Light Down The Loch. Demo, recorded at home. Papadil I will leave my love bright sea pink Psalter in his hand I will leave my love fresh ewe’s milk While he walks the sands While he walks the sands I will row my boat through darkness Clear stars in his eyes I will scull my oars to find him While he stares at skies While he stares at skies Papadil Oh Papadil Papadil Oh Papadil My first love, as a maiden of fifteen Brightness in his wake I’ve loved him two score years and five But my love he did forsake My love he did forsake I still leave my love bright sea pink Psalter in his hand I still leave my love fresh ewe’s milk He once walked these sands He once walked these sands Papadil Oh Papadil Papadil I love him still © S Barr 2022 Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by mistermark Just gorgeous. Love how you’ve got the sea & seagulls sound in there (invert recently did the same in part of a recent collab as well). It helps paint a scene. Really fantastic vocals too, as I’m sure others have said... 2023-09-25T18:13:20Z Comment by Mr Cagey Gorgeous vocals.
