EGGS & CRUMBS
Verse Lyrics: Philip Obermarck
Chorus & Music: Heather Alexander
A woman had a babby boy,
She loved him much & he gave her joy
The wee folk came & on a whim
They took the boy away with them
EGGS & CRUMBS& MILK & GRAIN!
BRING MY BABY BACK AGAIN!
And in his place, they left instead
A changling sleeping in his bed
The lass, she saw his wizened face
"They ta'in my baby from his place!"
The changling shrieked & howled & cried
And not she did would make it bide
She formed a plan to try to prove
This elfling child was not her love
She put a cauldron on to boil
And soon the changeling ceased to roil
She broke a dozen eggs in half
And as he watched, the changeling laughed
She put the eggshells in the brew
He says, "Me Mother, what do you do?"
"Why can't ya see, me silly dove,
I've eggshells brewing on the stove!"
"In eighteen hundred years," says he
"A brewer of shells, I never did see!"
And with those words he realized
He'd broke the spell and he'd lost the prize!

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
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
Weyes Blood expands on this year's acclaimed album ”Titanic Rising” with a handful of alternate takes, recorded alongside Ariel Rechtshaid. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 23, 2019
Natalie Mering's latest is woozy, hallucinatory folk that swirls and swoons, working with shadow and light, hope and loss. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 10, 2016
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
