I am SO DAMN PROUD that my songs inspire Thomas's art! SO proud! He brings them to life in a whole new way and finds layers of magic I didn't put there!

One of the many great musical set pieces in the 2025 movie SINNERS is “Will Ye Go, Lassie, Go” (aka “Wild Mountain Thyme”) – adapted in the 1940s by Francis McPeake from “The Braes o Balquhidder”, an original song by Robert Tannahill

"And then, I'm gonna eat your babies! Eating your babies. I'm gonna eat all of your babies."

Singing future made up in the moment, murdering/eating cucumber babies. A backyard ballad style folk song!

Nearby a little creek ran through. It was singing a song of spring and someone else was singing too. Song sparrow, on a branch there-o, singing for the love of the song…

Steve Roud is a giant figure in folklore studies, and his 'Folk Song in England' is a wonderful, rigorous guide to traditional music, and the history of its study.

Here's a great folk song, in a cracking version on the new Jim Moray album. Real universality in these words. The third verse particularly appealed to me, revenge best served cold, and all that.
