lyrics

A dialect for two
born from a gesture
shot across the room

A gun was played
our fates were doomed
on the arc of smile

The ground it spun
the moon hung
with grace of a song

Over a river and
what was to come
on the arc of a smile

A quiver of arrows was slung
from the first to first to the last I succumb
on the arc of a smile

On the edges of space, we conjure
while a wounded orchestra sways
for you and I a melody made
on the arc of a smile

(Janet Beveridge-Bean)

The Last Laugh
by Nightingales

supported by 103 fans who also own “Arc Of A Smile”

Wildly rampant but at times poppy as anything. Nightingales mould those tracks into their own shapes where shifts of pace and mood are done in a way only they can do. And by the way THIS Nightingales album is a barnstorming classic. Add to that the weird Robert Lloyd stream of words ..such a pleasure to have them. David Rankin

A work of considerable power and subtlety. Certainly a grower but I was hooked on first listen and it seems to improve on subsequent plays. Well done to everyone involved and good luck for the future, hopefully a long and successful future. simon1956smith

At the moment "I am Grimaldi" is my favourite track, although that could change. A stupendous album. "I can't seem to stop this melancholy' What it means to me can only be expressed by the phrase" Diddy Wah Diddy" Séamus Duggan
