about

“Time To Love” is the fifth single from The St Buryan Sessions, filmed and recorded live (with no audience due to COVID-19) on 1 July 2020 in the beautiful church of St Buryan, Cornwall, parts of which date back to the 11th century.

Please do check out the YouTube video of this track to see the gorgeous work done by Cornish filmmaker Mawgan Lewis of Purple Knif with the help of veteran camera op John Crooks. There’s a link to my YouTube channel in the profile section of this page.

Heartfelt thanks to the 184 individual contributors whose voluntary donations made this recording possible. Your kindness and generosity will not be forgotten.

lyrics

What are we doing here now
What are we dreaming now
Up and down the street 

If we only had time
If we only had one more day
If we only had time
Time to love

How can we take this moment now
And try to make it better now
Then let it go

If we only had time
If we only had one more day
If we only had time
Time to love
Time to love

I woke up laughing
I don’t know why
To see you sleeping
Beside me

What are we doing here now
What are we dreaming now
Up and down the street

The St Buryan Sessions were filmed and recorded live (with no audience due to COVID-19) on 1 July 2020 in the beautiful church of St Buryan, Cornwall, parts of which date back to the 11th century. The idea was to recreate the energy, heart, soul and magic of a live performance in a quality production that would stand the test of time.

Thanks to the generosity of the 184 individuals who contributed to my crowdfunding campaign, to Canon Vanda Perrett and the St Buryan Parish Council, to the immense skill of the team I had the privilege of working with, and most of all to the church itself, whose glorious natural acoustic we captured with the help of ambient microphones placed around the soaring space – I believe I’ve achieved that aim. I hope you think so, too.
