It also reflects much of The liturgical and popular symbolism of The Christmas season: robins, holly etc and it brings our thoughts towards The season of Easter with The blood of Good Friday.

Chris has written many of Show of Hands’ big hits including, ‘Lily and The Rose’ which he wrote for Miranda Sykes and The Lost Sound. We’ve performed this togeTher with Show of Hands, at Their 25thAnniversary concert in The Royal Albert Hall in 2017.
Chris explains The background of ‘Though We Lie Underground’ for us:
I first came across The stories surrounding The curious tradition of West Country miners singing carols underground when listening to a recording of Alan Lomax’s extraordinary live BBC 1957 broadcast “Sing Christmas and The Turn of The Year”, a feat of radio genius involving hundreds of performers and groups all over The country, seamlessly brought togeTher for one scintillating hour.
At one point, Lomax described how The miners of Devon and Cornwall would celebrate Christmas underground in an almost pagan fashion: They would select The largest lump of tin ore They could handle, set it up in... ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less

I am of The wind…
A wisp of The battering wind…
I trail my fingers along The Alps
And an avalanche falls in my wake…
I feel in my quivering length
When it buries The hamlet beneath…
I hurriedly sweep aside
The cities that clutter our path…
As we whirl about The circle of The globe…
As we tear at The pillars of The world…
Open to The wind,
The Destroyer!
The wind that is battering at your gates.
Lola Ridge
"The Destroyer" depicts The forceful essence of wind. Gracefully waving around The globe, causing avalanches, and sweeping cities away, The piece conveys The wind's destructive potential. It personifies The wind as "The Destroyer," emphasizing its relentless power at nature's gates.
Dans ce morceau, le vent, évoqué dans toute sa puissance, nous renvoie à une posture d'humilité face à la Nature. Au gré de ses humeurs, il serpente autour du globe, balaie le... ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less
