Softly spoken woman, speak softly to me
of the things that you have seen,
of the pieces you have been.
I saw you, I saw you, hiding within.
Caught a glimpse of you, caught a glimpse of you
just beneath my skin.
A reminder, a reminder...
That a softly spoken woman
speaks softly through me
Telling of her stories for those who
listen, listen, listen, listen.
The only one holding you back
is inside your head
The thoughts that you think, well,
in the tapestry, they are the thread.
And all that exists in this moment
is of your choosing.
Negative thoughts of self-doubt
to your soul are a bruising.
Because a softly spoken woman
speaks softly through you.
Mother, maiden, child
Warrior, priestess too.
Flowing like water, she changes her course.
Flowing like water, she changes her course.
Flowing like water, she changes her course.
Flowing like water, she changes her course.
I know a softly spoken woman
speaks softly through me.
Telling of her stories, for those who
listen, truly listen,
want to listen to me.

I didn't think I would like this record but it's so infectious in its ability to change from prog to post rock then to psychedelic and onwards into alternative metal. Such an amazing feat to introduce the saxophone and it sounds so cool, this record is outstanding. Darknight

Psych-folk with a late 60s / early 70s flavour. If you like Nick Drake or Fairport Convention you will enjoy this. It's an observation of change and a celebration of a hazy, high summer harvest. The music transports you to the moorlands and mill towns of Northern England. Dark and open and embellished with beautiful melodies and thoughtful lyrics.
This is album of the year 2021 for me. distant planet

Fantasy progressive rock is not something I'd ever thought of. Yet Foreign Land, especially the Foreign Land track itself, transported me straight into an unknown, magical fantasy world. Hakim Zulkufli
