Super Furry Animals - Cloudberries



I've just found Love Kraft, a lost and much-missed Super Furry Animals album, in my attic. The Furries are so varied it's hard to sum them up unless you plump for the word eclectic. Love Kraft was a little more downbeat (though this is by no means true of the whole thing) than some Furry albums and as such is one of my favourites. Cloudberries is one of the two last songs, both of which are beautiful.

An unofficial website, superfurry.org, gives these as the lyrics - the numbered bits are presumably the titles of the three musical sections:
1. humming bird

She came into the room
Didn't know her name
How I danced inside
No one to confide
In the darkest winter
I made a sound like a long lost humming bird

2. friends of friends

Took a CIRCLE of friends
To the village SQUARE
Old love TRIANGLES
Made us so aware
Of a distant era
But we're still here
To sing as humming birds

3. locust death march
