1) Heron is a British folk band founded in 1967, which released two albums and two singles on the Dawn label from 1970 to 1972. Both albums were recorded outside. The first - self-titled - album was recorded in a field by the river Thames; the second was a double album, which they recorded outside a Devon country cottage. This album shows a greater variety of musical styles compared to the debut album.
But still the acoustic folk-style is dominant, mixed with some more rocking tunes.
The original line up consisted of Roy Apps, G.T. Moore, Tony Pook, and Steve Jones. After the two albums, some members of Heron went to work with Shusha. Moore was also busy recording and touring with a band called G.T. Moore and the Reggae Guitars, which split up in 1977. Later in 1983 a cassette called Open Up the Road was released, and shortly afterwards Moore left. But the band kept going, playing gigs with Terry Clarke and Big Tom Robinson. Eventually in 2005 Gerry Power joined, and they recorded a full new album called Black Dog. This album was once again recorded outdoors at the Black Dog cottage in Devon.
In 2006 Universal released a two-CD anthology, including seven previously unreleased recordings that were made for Dawn. Finally in 2010 the original line up got back together to record a new album for the Japanese record label 'arm'. The album was released in 2011, and was called Simple As One Two Three.
2) Heron is an instrumental collective hailing from Northwestern Pennsylvania. Their transcendent sound blends resonant, melodic elements with darker and more ambient tones. Evident in the band’s rich and swelling expression is their passion for authenticity, goodness, and beauty, and their love for the wild outdoors.

3) Heron is a hip-hop/rap artist from NYC.
4) Heron is a black metal band from Raleigh, North Carolina with tinges in progressive and doom.
Created in the Fall of 2012, Heron became a vessel for trying to recreate the atmosphere one feels when faced with the formless misanthropy of depression amidst the tranquility of surrounding flora and fauna. It is this duality created from the raw bleakness of modern existence and the consoling environment we are steadily losing touch with that inspires our music.

5) Heron is a metal band from Vancouver BC, mostly known as a sludge/doom metal band. Their double guitars create a sound that reaches new depths of consciousness. The drumming is an art most accurately described as sludge-in-your-face metal. The vocals exchange between guttural and screeching to add the finishing touches to an inventive, unique west coast creation.

Little Boy
Heron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are all alone tonight
Run your fingers along the railing
Where all the ladies made you slide
Though the whole world betrayed thee
As you stretch your neck to give
Let your arms hang
Please don't give
Little boy you must be unhappy
There is no one that you love
There is no one here to help you
If you will not help yourself
Though the whole world betrayed thee
As you stretch your neck to give
Let your arms hang
Beside you easy
Please don't give
In the street and down the arcade
Where all the flowers will drift
One time singer, one time loser
One time lover, one time hid
Far away from the used dagger
There must be no other way
But let there be no doubt about it
You cannot stay
Heron's song "Little Boy" is a deeply introspective piece that reflects on the feelings of loneliness and despair in the face of a world that has betrayed the singer. The opening line "Little boy you must be honest" sets the tone for the song's confessional style. Here, the singer urges the little boy to be truthful to himself and acknowledge that he is all alone. The second line "You are all alone tonight" emphasizes the stark reality of the boy's loneliness.
The lyrics then take the listener on a journey through the boy's thoughts and feelings, as he runs his fingers along the railing where all the ladies made him slide. This image of the boy sliding down the railing is a metaphor for his descent into loneliness and isolation, where he is unable to find happiness or love. The boy is struggling to cope with the world's betrayal of him, and his arms hang easy beside him.
In the final verses, the song talks about the boy's hopeless situation, as there is no one to help him, and he must help himself. The lyrics "In the street and down the arcade, where all the flowers will drift" evoke images of desolation and abandonment, as the boy wanders aimlessly in a world where he is a one-time singer, loser, lover, and hid. The song ends on a poignant note, where the singer tells the boy that he cannot stay, implying that the boy needs to find a way out of his loneliness before it consumes him.
Line by Line Meaning
Little boy you must be honest
Be truthful to yourself
You are all alone tonight
Feeling lonely and isolated
Run your fingers along the railing
Touch and feel the surroundings
Where all the ladies made you slide
Remember the fun times from the past
Though the whole world betrayed thee
Even if people let you down
As you stretch your neck to give
When you reach out to others
Let your arms hang
Relax and let yourself be vulnerable
Beside you easy
Take it easy
Please don't give
Don't give up
Little boy you must be unhappy
Feeling sad and lost
There is no one that you love
No one to share your feelings with
There is no one here to help you
Feeling alone and unsupported
If you will not help yourself
You need to help yourself before anyone else can
In the street and down the arcade
Walking around town
Where all the flowers will drift
Where the beauty of nature is present
One time singer, one time loser
Experienced both success and failure
One time lover, one time hid
Experienced both love and hiding from it
Far away from the used dagger
Leave the past behind
There must be no other way
There's only one path forward
But let there be no doubt about it
Be sure of your decisions
You cannot stay
Keep moving forward

This band is a new discovery for me, just this week and I am wondering how I lived without this album until this point. Just love it.

Love this song. I never thought I’d find another song that gave me the same feeling as Pink Floyd - Green Is The Colour. Very similar kind of piano solo… Might just like this song even more.

It's great to be discovered after all these years. Heron have always been good at hiding from view it would seem. Well, after 50 years of playing and recording, Heron has created its own 'Heron Archives' YouTube channel. It's still very new and has a very small following but check it out. The aim is to fill it with songs, video, documentary and interviews. A new in depth full length documentary is already in the pipeline. Maybe see you sometime.
