A Song about Emily Bronte (Cindy L Spear & Colin Mold)
To say that I am a fan of Emily Bronte’s novel and poetry is an understatement. Her writing inspired me from a young age. The magic of her vision and words linger in my mind and continue to haunt and provoke creativity in me. I have written many poems and song lyrics about her and her characters and included her influence in my current fiction project. I have watched the various movies available based on her brilliant Wuthering Heights novel and purchased books about her life. I just discovered today, to my delight, there is a movie about her coming out in October from Warner UK. See this link for trailer. Yes, I will want a front row seat!
My collaborator, UK multi-instrumentalist and singer, Colin Mold, has taken two of my Emily Bronte - Wuthering Heights lyrics and woven them into some lovely music and added his English vocals. They are part of a fictional trilogy in progress (currently working on book 3). The first song Passing Through can be found here and is about Wuthering Heights. The song below— titled Emily— is, of course, about the author herself. I hope you enjoy them.📚❤️🎶

EMILY
This is a love that has no measure
Deep and profound as one can be
Set in this lonely fortress waiting
To find a way to be complete
How can a soul express such longing?
How can a heart render such grief?
Torn far apart within the knowing
That time will sometimes be a thief
Chorus:
O Emily, the moors are sighing
Your wind swept heart is all they want
You are the mistress of their calling
Come wear the heather and the moss
I see the rock and solemn refuge
So many miles to Wuthering Heights
The mystery of a tale unfolding
That cries of schemes and haunted nights
I hear their breathing through the grasslands
The moth and moon upon the path
The sleepers restless in their grave clothes
Are ghosts of passion that will last
Bridge:
Though there’s a chill across the Yorkshires
Among these ruins is a friend
Here lies the white bones of a poet~
A fatal kiss that never ends
Lyrics: Cindy L Spear copyright 2009

“I dream of moor, and misty hill
Where evening closes dark and chill;
For, lone, among the mountains cold
Lie those that I have loved of old.”
“I’m passing through this haunted land
Where weathered hills cross stormy paths
Lit by the chills of heather skies—
These clouded moors welcome the night”
