"James Hollingsworth plays a darn mean acoustic guitar and knows his way inventively around his pedals. He's an energetic and animated front man and has a fine set of vocal chords. His music was one of the weekends highlights." - Andy Read Winters End Festival James has always impressed us with his thoughtful & lyrical songs. Superb singing & delicate guitar work make for a captivating performance. - Seend Acoustic Fascinating one man band James Hollingsworth conjures some wonderful soundscapes with guitar effects and loops to create colour and build the suspense. - Somerset Guardian if you want to see someone who really knows how to use a 'looper' check this man out...

Story behind the song

When the soul lies down on the grass, the world is too grand to describe...

Lyrics

Rumi

"Imagine the time when the part that you are
is going back to the source where it came from.

Listen- if you can bare it.
In the body of the world, they say, there is a soul.

But we have our ways
that will never be told...

Listen-
A union with a friend means not to be who you were,
But to be silence instead,
quietness, a place, landscape, a view..
where the language is seen from the inside.

There are hundreds of ways
to go down and kiss the earth.
In the body of the world,

beyond our ideas of right and wrong,
there is a field. I'll meet you there.

When the soul lies down on the grass,
the world is too grand to describe..."
