News: NAD SYLVAN releases new single & video for „The Hawk“


Before the release of his new album “Spiritus Mundi” on April 9th, 2021 Nad Sylvan is happy to be announcing yet another single and accompanying video, this time for “The Hawk”. The song’s lyrics are based on a poem by Nobelprize winning author W. B. Yeats:

The Hawk
‚Call down the hawk from the air;
Let him be hooded or caged
Till the yellow eye has grown mild,
For larder and spit are bare,
The old cook enraged,
The scullion gone wild.‘

‚I will not be clapped in a hood,
Nor a cage, nor alight upon wrist,
Now I have learnt to be proud
Hovering over the wood
In the broken mist
Or tumbling cloud.‘

‚What tumbling cloud did you cleave,
Yellow-eyed hawk of the mind,
Last evening? that I, who had sat
Dumbfounded before a knave,
Should give to my friend
A pretence of wit.‘

The music is based on a primitive guitar/vocal demo by Andrew Laitres, which Nad then developed into the actual song.
