We Are Never Apart
Nick Mulvey Lyrics
Oh Myela, my love, can you hear?
Can you still hear
The sirens moan
Calling you home again
Black out call
Calling you back again?
Oh Myela, my love, they say the pipeline is coming
Black bears at the summit
Gonna have to move on
Our daybreak storm
And our indigenous heart
Even though Lancashire said no
Quadrilla say they fracking anyway
Oh Myela, my love, nobody said it was simple
But people raise it so hard
Knowing who we are
And our place in the stars
And now we
Are never really apart
From the whole of it all
Hmm
Knowing who we are
And our place in the stars
And now we
Are never really apart
From the whole of it all
Our daybreak storm
And our indigenous heart
So paint the earth, paint the earth on me
Paint the earth, paint the earth on me
Paint the earth, paint the earth on me
Paint the earth, paint the earth on me
Paint the earth, paint the earth on me

Oh Myela, my love, can you hear?
Can you still hear
The sirens moan
Calling you home again
Black out call
Calling you back again?
Oh Myela, my love, they say the pipeline is coming
Black bears at the summit
Gonna have to move on
With the white geese at dawn
Our daybreak storm
And our indigenous heart
Even though Lancashire said no
Quadrilla say they fracking anyway
Oh Myela, my love, nobody said it was simple
But people raise it so hard
Knowing who we are
And our place in the stars
And now we
Are never really apart
From the whole of it all
Hmm
Knowing who we are
And our place in the stars
And now we
Are never really apart
From the whole of it all

And our indigenous heart
So paint the earth, paint the earth on me
Paint the earth, paint the earth on me
Paint the earth, paint the earth on me
Paint the earth, paint the earth on me
Paint the earth, paint the earth on me

Even if Mulvey stands up against Cuadrilla's fracking site at Preston New Road, Lancashire, in this touching masterpiece, this song reminds me very much of the magnificent and overwhelming verses of John Donne, written soon after the death of his wife Anne More, an ode to compassion, solidarity and commitment to nature, according to our readings : "No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend's
Or of thine own were:
Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee."
David Villa
