run 02:26
run flee the homeland the falling bombs the terror filled crying eyes the communities divided split torn apart by the bull of war and rage run, run, run run, run, run set out upon the treacherous waves with nothing but the shirt on your back how did we come to view with such a lack of empathy? run, run, run away from the gun far from the one who silenced your tongue run, run, run from the blistering sun into the arms of the welcoming one if we were you and you were me we'd be the one called refugee run, run, run away from the gun far from the one who silenced your tongue run, run, run from the blistering sun into the arms of the welcoming one run, run, run away from the gun far from the one who silenced your tongue run, run, run from the blistering sun into the arms of the welcoming one

lines in the sand the world keeps turning the fires are burning your stomach is churning around the waves keep rolling your heart keeps folding itself into knots deeper down who enforced with force the borders? who drew the lines in the sand? who gave out the orders to keep the oppressed in line by the wealth of their hand? nameless untitled seen as unentitled to the same opportunities afforded and given to those unforgiving who keep them hidden from view who enforced with force the borders? who drew the lines in the sand? who gave out the orders to keep the oppressed in line by the wealth of their hand? when did seeking refuge make people a number? lost sight of humanity the displaced share our same hopes same dreams of a life lived longing for freedom to breathe who enforced with force the borders? who drew the lines in the sand? who gave out the orders to keep the oppressed in line by the wealth of their hand?

visualise 03:07
visualise i close my eyes and visualise you standing here, standing near, standing here you blow, blow, blow away the clouds from my skyline with your radiating inner glowing sunshine you fill my mind with your dazzling light you scorched the ground and pulled my frown down, down, down down, down, down my head was full of empty space you picked me up spun me around, round, round turned me around i close my eyes and visualise you standing here, standing near, standing here you blow, blow, blow away the clouds from my skyline with your radiating inner glowing sunshine you fill my mind you blow, blow, blow away the clouds from my skyline with your radiating inner glowing sunshine you fill my mind you fill my mind

about

The Feather House song 'Visualise' was played on BBC 6 Music on 11th August 2021 by Edward Adoo who was sitting in for Chris Hawkins. Ed described the track as "...this gem from Hertfordshire based Feather House..."

Ed Adoo BBC 6 Music / BBC Three Counties Radio - "...deep and meaningful. Makes you realise how lucky we are."

Mike Naylor BBC Three Counties Radio - "...wow what an interesting trilogy of songs. I really like the EP."

The artwork for both 'run' and 'lines in the sand' are paintings by the Glasgow based artist Hazel Blue. She has created this two part series of pictures to help highlight the humanitarian plight of refugees...
