about

Our version of Ariel's song from 'The Tempest'. Ariel is singing to Ferdinand, bewitching him into believing his father has been lost at sea so he will do Prospero's bidding...

Recorded at home to mark our 29/4/22 gig for the Oxfordshire Shakespeare Festival at St Michael of the North Gate Church, Oxford.

lyrics

Full fathom five thy father lies
Of his bones are coral made
Those are pearls that were his eyes
That were his eyes
Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange, rich and strange

Full fathom five thy father lies
Of his bones are coral made
Those are pearls that were his eyes
Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell
Ding-dong
Hark! now I hear them,—ding-dong, bell

Hell is empty and all the devil's friends are here
