about

On Aeloch Hill has two sides. It can be about the dangerous desire to give up because the pain is too much to bear, but it is first and foremost about succumbing whole heartedly to the pain and instead of trying to escape it, daring to face it head on. Trusting that you will emerge on the other side healed and stronger.

lyrics

On Aeloch Hill
Text and music by Christine Kammerer

One early morn' on Aeloch Hill
Where winds run wild and time stands still
There sat a girl in a moments peace
From a sorrow that never heaved

She watched the larks, envied their life
Their careless play, their wonderous flight
Her eyes grew blank, a tear fell down
on Aeloch hill, another time around

She carried pain, since that grim day
Where all she’d known was torn away
This little girl, with the tender gaze
Was only eight when she lost her faith

The years went by on goodwill and grace
T’was door after door, and face after face
And though they cared, and though they loved
It wasn’t the same, it was never enough

Then this winter morn’ on Aeloch Hill
Where winds run wild, and time stands still
This little girl stood all alone
Asking the wind to take her home

Her tear-filled eyes, looked to the sky
And she felt peace, with a quiet sigh
She wasn't scared or sad at all
They say she smiled, as she let herself fall
