about

Valerie, Chris and I played Arden at the UK fik con in February 2018, and Sibylle Machat recorded it on her mobile phone.
So it is only mobile phone recording quality, and you can hear the audience chatting, but hey, we are here for the memories, not for studio sound, right? :)

lyrics

Arden

If you seek me you will find me
in the land where lost things go,
where there's nothing to remind me
of the world I used to know,
where the forest is a garden
and the soul can never die,
for now am I in Arden
the more fool I.

When I left the world behind me
and the wind took me in hand
there was light enough to blind me
as I crossed into this land
where the stones cried out for pardon
and the flowers wondered why,
and I knew I was in Arden,
the more fool I.

If you sought me you have found me
but the quest has cost you dear,
for the light that burns around me
will have robbed you of your fear,
and before your heart can harden
the wind will pull you through,
and you'll join me here in Arden,
the more fool you.

about

Memory Page for Zan England, UK

Zanda Myrande/Zander Nyrond/Jonathan Waite/Andrew Lyng had many names. Zanda was the newest (only found in 2016) and probably the most important one.

Zan was an amazing writer, songwriter, and person, and her brain was basically an ant hill where every ant carried a book around.
She died very suddenly in July 2019, aged 63.

This page tries to collect what friends did and do with her songs. ... more
