Jason Siren This album is beautiful. Such a refreshing voice in acoustic and folk music. Daisy House really does it up right. As long as they continue to make music, I'll be listening. Favorite track: Cold Ships.

Joseph Corley refreshing to hear, reminding me of some later 60's early 70's folk rock, but new in that her voice is distinct, unique, and not aided by effects. Terrific album!

Ivar Randall This album is, in my opinion, the best Folk Rock album of the Year 2013 so far. The lush harmonies, musical arrangements, Male and Female vocals, poetic lyrics and pristine recording make Daisy House a band to not miss and to keep a close eye and ear out for. For those who like Tir Na Nog, Loreena McKennitt, Heart, Heather Alexander, Pentangle, Dando Shaft you will find great pleasure in this Classic in the making. Thank you Daisy House for such a beautifully recorded album. Favorite track: Emma In The Morning.

J.T. Tammaro This sounds like it's straight out of Britain, 1969. Layered, lush, and full. Lead vocalists alternate throughout which adds depth. Tatiana evokes the spirit of Sandy Denny when she sings, and she sings with total confidence.
"This Bottle's Red" is my top track with a fun chorus and alternating lead vocals that play off each other perfectly. It's the most rocking song on the LP. If you're a fan of Sandy, Fairport, Jade, or early 10,000 Maniacs, you will love this album! Highly recommended. Favorite track: This Bottle's Red.

Jakeb Davies It's a wonderful balance of old and new styles. and never diverges into self indulgent bullshit. Favorite track: The Running Man.

I lay asleep in a field... 
 and awoke to the first drops of rain on my lips like a prayer... 
with the clouds marching off in their columns to heaven if I could, i would gladly have followed them there... But from their ranks streaked with red I was turned in mid-air 
 and the last thing i recall was the smell of her hair I was crushed by a flower, 
the beauty and the power in the hour of remembering our love 
yes, I was crushed by a flower the sweetness and the sour what remains is the girl and the April shower. And i have shaken off blows 
that i know would have taken a hundred other men down. When the winter comes by...to a prisoner's eye, 
 any color in the yard takes the man to the ground...

Ready To Go 03:10
There was a car that emerged from the alley there was lightning that struck on the hill there were viruses swinging the edge of the blade and the wolf moving in for the kill There's a crime scene staged by a lover enraged and the wandering man in the snow Then it's fire below or the heavenly glow we wait for the shadow to show but the end is the same whatever your name oh People be ready to go there was a mother whose daughter was stolen by a wave at the edge of the sea and a bright white light coming after a fight with another incurable disease some with eyes at the time closed in pleasure sublime so they couldn't see the face in the trees Then it's fire below-or the heavenly glow we wait for the shadow to show The end is the same-whatever your name oh People be ready to go in the hereafter will it be the world we know? does it matter? you have to be ready to go there were soldiers set loose on the city and the scientist lost in the field there was a gun, blood red, at the side of her head and a cop who was drawn to the shield and it happens at 15 and at 50 and at 5 and 103 there's a turn for the worse, you're in back of a hearse there's the end of your thinking of "me" For the high and the low-it's the end of the show oh people be ready to go

like september laying down her long dress sweeps the ground as the common people stand and pray for the Lord her soul to keep at the Coronation fair all the pretty things prepare while the digging skeletons tend to their hidden work and weep… sounding clear across the water like a bell as the mummers raise the pyre upon the square Hear the song of celebration in the air... on the last day of the coronation fair At the Coronation Fair… revolution in the air with the beggars and the poor lined along the watching way did you see my lady fair as she stepped into the chair and the flames of the bonfire shifted in her eyes of gray? sounding clear across the water like a bell like voices rising from the bottom of a wishing well see the ashes on the pavement where she fell on the last day of the coronation fair in the courtyard of the moon an old man holds a broom walking slowly backward sweeping every step away are we navigating blind? will heaven send a sign? moving farther out to sea where-the stars have always shined….

Cold Ships 03:48
If you feel the summer tide that pulls you out to sea And if you feel that another's smile Can warm you more than me Then go... whip the sail, lashing into the mouth of the coming gale. It's an old twisted tale… Laughing under the mirage of the loving veil.... Crimson clouds to a sailor's eye Can take the breath away But if you see St Elmo's fire  before the brighter day... Then go... whip the sail, laughing into the mouth of the nightingale. It's an old twisted tale… laughing under the sound of the drumming nails like old ships for sale…. cold ships a'sail Then go... whip the sail, laughing into the mouth of the nightingale. It's an old twisted tale… Crying under the mirage of the loving veil.... like old ships for sale cold ships a'sail

one night the moon came calling through the windowpane whispering his name turning both of his eyes to green "Here is a kiss for nothing. Take it where you will high upon a hill carry it into e-ter-nity" she followed him into sleep and kissed on his mouth so deep and bid him her silver secrets keep... till morning He grew into his manhood far away from home where he lived alone she allowed no one to share his name Sleeping with eyes wide open taking in her light each & every night she bestowed fortune, renown and fame She bore him a silver son when man's dream had begun to follow a ghostly paragon as one

are you mesmerized by the ceremonial and the token lies of the territorial Ch we're going to ride that wall we're gonna ride that wall wearing golden slippers…in style until we take that fall in god's waiting room… with a phantom radio can you hear the voices sweet singing to the orchestra below? is your body compromised full of lulz and chemicals ? or are you lip syncing...in black and white with the di-a-mond skullz we're going to ride that wall we're gonna ride that wall wearing golden slippers…in style until the choir comes to call. We're gonna ride that wall. so you roll your eyes as the sun begins to strobe soon you'll be a bride of sixteen in a brown tobacco robe So it's good-bye, Chillun, i believe its time to go, Where the rain don't fall & the wind don't blow like it always done be-low

Two Sisters 04:30
Sister sister who is here? "oh the wind, the wind and the rain" ...the captains' son so young and fair "oh the wind, the wind and the rain" which of us is he bound to choose? "oh the wind, the wind and the rain" …you're the flower of the two, the one he's bound to mar-ry "Sister sister walk with me to see our sailor home from sea" The older pushed the younger in full well she knew, she could not swim "Sister save me or i die!" her jealous elder only sighed: "oh the wind, the wind and rain" ----- down the shore a fiddler came saw the breath had left her frame saw the young girls life was spent "she will be my instrument, the one i'm bound to carry" -------- took the bones from her young breast and all he needed for the rest to make a violin to sing took her golden hair for strings tuned her fingers night and day "oh the wind, the wind and rain" but the only song that girl would play was "oh the wind, the wind and rain"

when the world was young, with her animal tongue And the ways of nature strange lived  a forest girl like a glistening pearl in the fingers curled of a dying world like Emma in the morning She could sing to  the birds In the ancient words known to all the sons of men never leaving a trace in the morning dew when she danced on the days that the old ones knew Like Emma in the morning Sweet Emma in the morning light... "Now the centuries pass and the seasons change in an hour in a day- i'll remain the same i accept the invitation and sigh there is peace in the wheel of the turning sky and I won't be afraid of the door this side I'm amazed I'm amazed see it opening wide…." From my hiding place I revealed my face saying "please don't be afraid" "you will name your price but i'll kiss thee thrice" and i took 3 steps toward the lovely lips  of Emma... and i stand there still on this haunted hill with my brothers all around and we link our branches to the sky for the mourning doves  in a way I was like Emma...in the morning

over land with a far way to go again just ahead of the devil's hand string untied I'm afraid there's no other way until you feel the axe again poor running man... ya poor running man Fly and pray with the white flag you carry on- into darkness another day in disarray in the way of the myrmidon until the day you pass away poor running man... ya poor running man poor running man... ya poor running man Run hard - child of man save yourself if you think you can on guard child of man the Running Man echo man such a long road ahead of you just ahead of the devil's hand Forgive yourself let go of the prisoner see one shadow from where you stand... poor running man... ya poor running man poor running man... ya poor running man Run hard - child of man save yourself if you think you can Run hard - child of man preserve yourself if you think you can on guard child of man the Running man

Statue Maker 02:26
Say Goodbye to all that... all rolled up in a ball... you know my touch almost Fall... The Hand of the statue maker in memory's fist Flesh and bone in the place of stone for your ending this... With leaves on your head... leaves in your hair, on the way from here to there... You'll come back for me You'll come back for me all in good time
