about

Hironda perdita is a swallow that lives in the cliffs above the Red Sea. It is a symbol of peace and hope amidst loss and chaos. Recorded by Iain Faulkner,
Composition and lyrics by Maja Elliott.

lyrics

In the forest of the future, we left our trace. As the shadows were dividing, I lost your face. Hills spilled silent words, the arch over the ocean, moon and stars.

Round and round, the raging sound tries to consume you. Do not fear God is near, Hold on. Wavering eyes telling lies. Do not fear, Love is near. Trust and all will be well. Keeling subsides. Piece of Peace. Hironda Perdita to heaven.

In an angle of the Red Sea way up high, as the swallows were divining they filled the sky. Ancient ocean elegy, singing in the desert sands and sea.

Round and round the raging sound tries to consume you but do not fear, God is near. Hold on. Broken trees on the tide, confide in love. Hold on to love. Oh let the swallow fly, Hironda Perdita.

She is so expressive, holding notes in fearless
