Blood Like Wine

by Maggie Holland

about

This was written in the wake of the G8 meeting that was held in Gleneagles in 2005 – although the location of the first verse is in Scotland’s ancient capital Dunfermline (where the king sits). The door slamming is a reference to James Cameron’s description of witnessing one of the first nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll in 1946 – the sound was “like a great door slammed in the deepest hollows of the sea”. The title comes from me mis-quoting Sir Patrick Spens to myself.

Recorded by John Vick at Finiflex, 2022.
