Hecate

Come with me, sail me sea
Dash your doubts upon my shores
Smash your decks, break your oars
Find your soul fire
Fulfil your dreams, your heart’s desire
Your heart’s desire
I took a hold of her hand
She took a hold over me
Stepping onto her boat
I could barely breathe
Looking me in the eye with a wildly smile
She passed inside of me
I was sailing alone on her sea
And Hecate said she’d show me the sea of the dead
And Hecate said mmmm she’d show me the sea of the dead
Your heart’s desire
This so called sea was a reflection of me
Shadowy soul dying to breathe
I took out a knife to cut myself clean
And tore it right through from neck to knee
Casting aside what I used to be
And Hecate said she’d show me the sea of the dead
And Hecate said mmmm she’d show me the sea of the dead

Lewis Barfoot Cork, Ireland
Half Irish, half English Lewis works with an uncomplicated loveliness of sound, combining ethereal, evocative vocals with
original compositions and reinventions of traditional songs from Ireland and the UK. A timeless & gifted storyteller who transports the listener to strange, magical, otherworldly places.
“What a beautiful, beautiful voice she has, just gorgeous” - Eve Blair, BBC Radio Ulster

In the Furrows Of Common Place
by Jim Ghedi
supported by 4 fans who also own “Hecate”
In my dad's wide vynyl collection (jazz, mostly, and a handful of classical) there was always some hidden gem, like Victor Jara's protest songs or a Gwendal album. Somehow, I feel now as excited as if I were back home and had discovered one of those again. Besides, Jim Ghedi's voice has proved to be addictive to me.

Katie Spencer is totally addictive. Her words and her voice have me beguiled. Her guitar playing - au delà les mots. She brings me peace. Thanks Katie.
