⋅ Wyrd Webba ⋅ is the first single from Sowulo’s upcoming new album "Wurdiz", set for release on September 9th on By Norse Music!
A symbolic poem empowering the listener to become a Weaver of their own fate, the song is fuelled by Irish Bouzouki, Nyckelharpa, Blow horns, Celtic harp, violin, viola, cello, percussion and deep, expressive vocals.
Its composition is designed to feel the unavoidable force of fate. It gives voice to the call to fulfil your destiny within this lifetime.
Do you remember how to use the scissors?
Do you remember how to use the comb for wool?
To form Wool
Do you remember how to use the spindle?
Do you remember how to use the distaff?
To form a thread for weaving
Feel the thread for weaving
Pulling you, holding you in place
Do you remember how to use the loom?
Do you remember how to use the weaver’s beam?
To form your woven web
Follow the threads for weaving
Even if it means this brings about your doom
Do you remember how to use the weaver’s reed?
Do you remember how to use the weaver’s crank?
To form a Web of Wyrd
I am the warp
You are the weft
I am fate
You are the weaver
