about
THE DANCER: I love to dance and I am fascinated by the elusive nature of those rare dancers who are compelled and able to convey through their bodies a fundamental truth we understand way beyond words
lyrics
THE DANCER by Carol Fieldhouse
Beneath the tables a silent shudder,
Held in shadow a child looks on
An adult world of secret lovers
And warring couples, a seed was sown.
As she watched them, sifted stories,
Felt their yearnings, saw their fears
Tell tale tics, bodies shouted,
Comfort battled every tear
No arms to hold her, as she dances
Stories ringing in her bones
Love and longing, wildest rapture
As she dances on
In her dreams, dancing lovers,
Eyes closed tightly she hits the wall
Yet she rises, rises stumbling,
Stumbles running, runs some more
Tables flying, chairs are tumbling,
Couples battle, cling and fall
All life thunders in her footsteps
As she dances on
No arms to hold her, as she dances
Stories ringing in her bones
Love and longing, wildest rapture
As she dances on, as she dances on, as she dances on...

After years rooted in Folk and Early Music, I discovered my musical homeland as a songwriter in 2008. My debut album linen, produced by Boo Hewerdine and recorded by engineer Chris Pepper, was Celtic Music Radio’s Album of the Week in 2016.
Turbulent indie rock from Levi Fuller & the Library that has the snarl of hardcore and the knotty meter of math rock. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 13, 2018
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2023
