Good morning with our Middle of the Week Song – Bring An End by Butler, Blake & Grant. These days, where Bernard (Butler) gets involved emotions I’m not used to pour out, and feel within, of me. In Bring An End is Norman Blake’s beautiful voice, and the lyrics, that bring me the most chills. The expressive guitars have a part in it too. Along with James and Bernard voices.
I like that Bernard, Norman and James are writing beautiful love and redemption songs. Bring An End music comes from fragments Norman had, the lyrics from James’ notebooks.
The gorgeous video features Scottish landscapes and St. Margaret’s Braemar, a church in Braemar, Scotland, turned arts venue.
Maybe there is a new essay from me on the way…
