Beautiful gardenia Glistening in the moonlight Waiting for the sun to find you Your fragrance on the breeze That ripples through the trees Mi amor secreto I’m near you Love is Ever complicated Be still my beating heart Meet me In the vista de Toledo sky When we're apart Silver Portofino Driving from Lucena Wistful clouds On framed horizons Through the mountain climbs Past olive groves and vines In salamander skies I hear you Love is Ever complicated Be still my beating heart And meet me In the vista de Toledo sky When we're apart By Alex Che Johnson

Today I found my father's medals in a drawer And I thought of all the sacrifice All the sufferings of war By Mark Graham

about

The Gong Farmers are principally two musicians, Mark Graham and Andrew Keeling, along with friends and colleagues. Formed in 2018 following a visit to an Irish castle, the band name was suggested by reading about the activities of the medieval gong farmers. Released in 2019 by Spaceward Records, their debut, Ship of Fools, garnered praise from such magazines as RnR who wrote, ‘Scarily impressive. Gong Farmers are heads ahead of most.’

From 2020 – ’21 the band worked on a second album, Guano Junction, continuing both the connective thematic elements and themes of love and loss heard on Ship of Fools yet exploring darker areas of musical and human experience. Featuring David Jackson (Van der Graaf Generator), Alex Che (Modern Eon, Che), Cliff Hewitt (Modern Eon, Apollo 440), Noko (Apollo 440), Martin Walker (Nth Ascension, Thruaglas Darkly), Brian Taylor (This Is Awkward, Thruaglas Darkly) and others, Guano Junction is released by Spaceward on November 5th, 2021.

This single, featuring two songs from the album, is available exclusively for download now.
