Mutton Birds - Envy Of Angels - Envy Of Angels

One of the bargains I bought at the school fair was this Muttonbirds CD from 1996 'Envy of Angels'.
The title track is one of my faves, and I've been playing it a lot lately. youTube doesn't have a video but does have the song. The photograph is "Angel at Ahipara" by NZ photographer Robin Morrison (now sadly deceased) from his book called (I think) "From the road", which to me gets under the skin of NZ like no other photogaphy book before or since. The song reflects this too; the sense of movement, of newness, of emptiness, of building something 'for all those people who haven't been born'. That minor, soaring note on the word 'angels' gives me goosebumps everytime. Beautiful.
