【Vol.47】
Cosmo Sheldrake是一位来自英国的独立音乐人，而独立音乐人总是富有创意的。
本曲歌词温暖清新，除了人声之外，只使用了合成器与西班牙传统乐器响板，与英国民谣的淳朴特色加在一起，让人沉浸在对往事的回忆中去。
词中，一幅幅天马行空幻想着的景象，一篇篇古老的温暖神话，那是十几年前我心中所想的，还有记不清是谁给我讲的故事，我难得的又体验到了童趣。
最后的管风琴（合成器）结尾又把人带了回来，好比“可怜白发生”，告诉你以往的都是回忆。但是终究没有那么悲壮，因为前路依然漫漫，是否美好依旧看你。
歌词摘自网易云音乐：
Legend has it that the moss grows

on the north side of the trees
在温暖树荫下
Legend has it that when the rain comes down,
故事就是春雨落下
all the worms come up to breathe
惊蛰欣喜的呼吸
Legend has it that when the sunbeams come,
神话唱着艳阳当空时
the plants, they eat them with their leaves
