about

The Island is a track from Mairearad's latest album inspired by The Summer Isles in the North West of Scotland.

lyrics

Short as the rowan
On this ledge of an island,
Throwing out berries
That fall with the light,
Is this time.

Full as the lochan
Of sun-sparkled water
That flows out of the darkness
Is my heart.

And low lies the longing
In the folds of this morning
As I take my leaving
And never look back.

The Island,
the ruins and
the memories.

about

Mairearad Green Ullapool, UK

I am a musician and visual artist based in the Highland village of Ullapool. My painting style is very much a visceral response to the land that I grew up in and my composition combined showcases a deep-rooted sense of place. I play the accordion, Highland pipes, small pipes, piano and sing.

Solo albums include Passing Places, Summer Isles and Hearth.

Thanks for supporting my music!
