Peter Pan

"By and by, there was to be heard a sound at once the most musical and the most melancholy in the world: the mermaids calling to the moon."

Featuring the vocals of Anna Bilbrough, Elizabeth Bradford, Anna Faye, Olivia French, Marli van der Bijl and Casey Withoos.

Vocal arrangement by Marli van der Bijl inspired by the original song 'Never Land' by Anna Bilbrough.

You can listen to this song in Episode 9 — The Mermaids' Lagoon, here.

"Choices made in fear. Choices led him here. They come and they stay. Many careless names. Never will be a man. Never his feet shall land. Golden hair of girl. Waiting for winter's turn. All things are just so. Troubled by a distant crow. Never could understand. Never her heart shall land. Tidal waves of rage. Tightly wound in cage. Grief, have at thee. Hooked, cannot flee. Never had the upper hand. Never his pride shall land."

Music and lyrics by Anna Bilbrough,  inspired by the poem 'Lone Whims' by Trillian Sharples.

You can listen to the piano version of this song in Episode 19 — The Nursery, here.
