Beneath The Shadows

from Here Comes The Snowstorm by Martha Bean

about

Based on a true story...

lyrics

Beneath the shadows,
Cold concrete and steel bear the weight
The waiting, the hunger,
Under her smile, bittersweet

The forced conversation
Without a word
We all knew what'd happened
The sorrow endured
But in the apartment,
A halcyon light filled the air

She told us a story of magic and truth
It burst from her heart, and it lit up the room
Though no longer with us, she'd witnessed him there
Beneath the shadows
Beneath the shadows
Beneath the shadows

There's never a minute,
This caged bird can't sing her own song
Forever and ever,
Invisible, holding her tongue

The ambush insistent, the infinite grey
A palpable longing right from the doorway
But in the apartment,
A halcyon light filled the air

She told us a story between salty tears
Her one true love lost; no answer through prayer
Though no longer with us, she'd witnessed him here
Beneath the shadows
Beneath the shadows
Beneath the shadows

about

Martha Bean Leicester, UK

Songs are ‘full of charm, delicateness, and pure, unadulterated loveliness’**, veering from enigmatic and sobering, to the brooding razor-sharp.

Recently played on BBC 6Music and supporting the likes of Marika Hackman, Scott Matthews and Seth Lakeman, Martha has a world-class voice well worth keeping your ears open for.
