lyrics
Morning, come winter sunlight, breathing new light, on the forest spurs
The river, runs right through here, where the silver, swam through the trees
Gather around that we may seek, the oaks to shadow the stones
Gather and dance down beneath their feet, the rhythms rising out of the ground.
Closer, controlling the seasons, building the beacons, to carry the sounds
Of lost times, coursing the white hare, and then sleep ‘til, the birds again fly
The dark clouds stole the day, and all that we knew had changed
We'd live this life to dream again, until nothing, nothing, was left to defend.

"Bewitching and otherworldly... Morrison's voice is eerily confiding, strangely present, insistent even at its quietest"
Folk Radio UK.
Believing in the beauty of sad songs, weaving folk, soul and beat sounds of the '60s into a tapestry of the human heart. Homespun sounds that reside in a nostalgic universe.
"Dark, unsettling folk that verges on the hymnal" BBC Introducing....more
'Andromeda' by Alex Rex is a thing of dark beauty, an examination of a wounded heart that is both forensic and poetic. Angeline Morrison and The Ambassadors of Sorrow
I literally cannot get over the ingenious brilliance of this artist. Intricate instrumentation and the voice of a 19th century medium in tight midnight-black taffeta... Angeline Morrison and The Ambassadors of Sorrow
Beautiful folk music in the widest sense of the word - full of space and light, with a voice so pure it stops you in your tracks. Angeline Morrison and The Ambassadors of Sorrow
This is very close to what I heard/felt everytime we visited the grandparents in Runcorn.
Ominous dread. Bleak dystopia. Concrete and terraced houses. Plus the air smells! MonkeyMajiks
