COME BY THE HILLS
Lyrics: W.Gordon Smith
(with permission)
Music: traditional
Arrangement: Heather Alexander

Come by the hills to the land,
Where fancy is free-
Stand where the peaks meet the sky,
And the lochs reach the sea-
Where the rivers run clear,
And the bracken is gold in the sun-
And the cares of tomorrow must wait,
'Til this day is done-

Come by the hills to the land,
Where life is a song-
Sing while the birds fill the air,
With their joy all day long-
Where the trees sway in time,
And even the wind sings in tune-
And the cares of tomorrow must wait,
'Til this day is done-

Come by the hills to the land,
Where legends remain-
The stories of old fill our hearts,
And may yet come again-
Where the past has been lost,
And the future is still to be won-
And the cares of tomorrow must wait,
'Til this day is done-

Balance of Nature
by Alexander James Adams

supported by 28 fans who also own “Come by the Hills”

Alexander James Adams's Balance of Nature is a wonderful album. The songs are wonderful, musically and lyrically, and He of the Sidhe is an incredible example of it. Nearly all the songs are about transitions of some sort, or about moving forward, and they are all worth listening to. Thanks for putting out such a wonderful album. Kamani

WinterTide

AJ Adams is quite phenomenal. I have followed his music since he became the Heir to the Heatherlands when Heather Alexander retired and returned to the Land of the Fae. Being true to one's self is difficult for many of us, but for those of us (like AJ Adams, and also myself) who are trans, being true to yourself is one of the hardest things we can do. This holiday album is as much a celebration of authenticity as it is of the Season. Delenn

Harvest Season - Second Cutting

Alexander James Adams is one of my all time favorite musicians; his music has seen me through both dark times and fair. His musicianship is excellent, a master Bard, songwriter, and fiddler. Cannot recommend his work enough; his music is exceptional! gaycelt

This is exactly the album that I need right now. Especially Warlock's Oath and Fang into Vein. Of course, the entire album is glorious spooky goodness. I'm in love. <3 Sai Chi
