Lyrics below.
I reached out to Sir Roger Scruton (who recently left us after a battle with cancer) via email quite a few years back, and he was kind enough to write back. I wrote about that experience recently a little in Dappled Things, which I'd love you to read in full here:

Aside from the few short exchanges, his work was deeply formative for me as an artist, likely playing a large role in stoking my courage to continue on the way of authenticity and beauty in my craft rather than chasing the dictates of modern popular culture. I am deeply grateful.

I know many are experiencing depression, sadness, confusion, anxiety, and suffering all around the world in this time, especially with the coronavirus and quarantine challenges. These songs are meant to inspire you toward courage, peace, strength, and life. You can see the first song and commentary here:

This is part of an ongoing "song theme" series I'll be doing throughout 2020 with regular YouTube commentary on my channel. I'll be sharing the gamut from politics, culture, and art, to love, injustice, and true humanity.
I offer everything frankly from the perspective of a Catholic, female, conservative millennial, but everyone of good will is totally welcome here. My recent series on socialism (each theme is both songs and commentary) sparked plenty of discussion across my various social media platforms. If you want to check out those songs and commentaries, you can watch the whole #SocialismSongs series here:
