Bless The Wind

from Bless The Wind by Ivan Drever

supported by
/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    One of the great pleasures of this job is the chance to get to know, and work with different people. The album was recorded at Les MacPherson's Near Field studio, in Evanton, North of Inverness in March 2011. Les is one of these people I'd never met before, and we had a great time making the album. Paul Eastham, who kindly did all the keyboard parts for me is another. A great musician and, despite living at opposite ends of the country, thanks to modern technology, managed to get everything done quickly and easily. Andy Murray, my old sparring partner from Wolfstone played some great guitar and bass parts, Les did percussion, and my wife Linda added some vocals and voice overs.

    I'd like to say a huge thank you to all the people above, to Les and his wife Margaret for their great hospitality, to my sister Isabel for not questioning our frequent visits and long stays. A huge thank you also to John Boocock and his wife Julia for all their help and kindness, without which the album may never have seen the light of day.

    We hope you enjoy it, Bless The Wind!

about

A simple song about optimism and the newborn. There's a very nice piece of video here youtu.be/7-vMejOWZC8

lyrics

Bless the wind that took you here
Bless the wind that draws you near
Nature takes its time
Hark the herald angels sing
Stark the climate's chilly wind
Mark the Autumn's falling leaves
And the child that's born to run

Bless the Island's fertile land
Soft and gentle in the hands
Of those who seek to tend the soil
And watch the children run
Bless the sea that carries those
Who saw the sun shine as it rose
Shining down and giving grave
To the child that's born to run

Bless the artist's loving hand
Who shows how much he understands
nature works the way she will
'Cause nature takes her time
Bless the birth of mother's wing
Bless the gold upon the ring
That sits upon the hand of love
To the child that's born to run

Bless the gifts that shower us
All the gentleness and the trust
That manifests its way unto
The sweet days of our lives
Bless the wind that took you here
Bless the wind that draws you near
And all of those who have no fear
For the child that's born to run

And you bless the wind
When you hear her sing
And you bless, you bless the wind
