North Side Drive - 'Cruel Time' (Owensie cover)

In a clarion piano arrangement, Cork musician Jonathon Pearson lifts the wistful folk of 'Cruel Time' (from last year's Aliens LP by Owensie) to a  rolling neo-classical instrumental - the gorgeous lines very much following those drawn by Michael Owens' plucked guitar.

Pearson says, "I got to record this on a beautiful Steinway piano, and I hope this version makes you listen to the original, if you don't know it already. "

Here is that original.

“I hated the mountains and the hills, the rivers and the rain. I hated the sunsets of whatever colour, I hated its beauty and its magic and the secret I would never know. I hated its indifference and the cruelty which was part of its loveliness. Above all I hated her. For she belonged to the magic and the loveliness. She had left me thirsty and all my life would be thirst and longing for what I had lost before I found it.”  - Wide Sargasso Sea

"Cat and Mouse was written about a Russian family who fell to their death in a housing estate in Glasgow last year. An apparent suicide from high in an old tower block used to house asylum seekers, it is thought they may have jumped for fear of deportation by immigration authorities. The father was also known to have suffered from mental problems. After the family were removed, a vigil was held by other local asylum seekers & many came forward with similar accounts of jumping from buildings in fear of deportation." - Owensie

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain." - Blade Runner
