I can see them talking but I only hear the voices in my head.
Waiting for the moment they'll be calling to me.
And if I try I'll remember all the words I've never said.
Only now the others hold no meaning for me.
And I see with wide-open eyes of blindness.
I'll leave the ever-calling cries in silence.
Every place we go, we shouldn't go.
We see.
We shouldn't see.
We know.
We'll never know.
We'll go.
Then all I want.
All I see.
All I fear is waiting for me.
Now I see.
I'll be with eyes wide open.
I see way over.
I see wide open eyes.
I hear ever-calling cries.
Somewhere we know.
I will be there where he will never be.
I'll be waiting for us now.
Strong enough.
Waiting for me.
I see way over.
I see ever-falling skies.

Egads.

This makes me want to eat tea and drink crumpets.

I've never seen the TV series so I can listen to this 'clean', and it's quite a charming composition from a modern composer who's new to me. I'll hunt down more of his works. This is good for the ears and a grower I think. An initial 8 from the Nottingham jury.

Apparently the creator is going to write three novels instead to continue the story:



Home Fires returns! Cancelled ITV drama to continue with three new novels




Home Fires creator Simon Block is to continue the story of Great Paxford’s Women’s Institute with three new novels, picking up precisely from that jaw-dropping series two finale.

Set in 1940, the books will chart the villagers as their lives are changed forever by the fighter plane which barrelled into the home of Bryn Brindsley. The first novel in the series – Keep the Home Fires Burning – will be published as a four-part ebook serial with a new instalment released each month from July 2017, and then available as a complete paperback and ebook from autumn.

“When ITV chose not to re-commission the series I was all set to take my characters through the next few months of their lives on the homefront,” said Simon Block. “Their stories were all planned, yet I was left with little choice but to accept the channel’s decision.

Like a recording that has left out the male or boy choristor tracks from the mixing desk. It does not progress or soar towards the end.

If I was the producer I would have some of the choir from Kings College into the recording studio to give it some extra oomph in the closing minute or so.

interesting piece.. tempted to buy the thing on iTunes but the snippets I heard all seem to have the same carillon type vocal arrangement which might get tiresome pretty quickly. Has anyone here heard the whole album?

I'm happy to hear this here, being a big fan of the show.  Does anyone know if there will be a Season 3, given the cliffhanger we were left with at the end of Season 2?


We'll have to live with the cliffhanger - sadly the show will not return.

Oh, I misread that album cover and thought it was a cooking show about making "home fries".
