Samain

[Steeleye Span / Rick Kemp]

Sung by Rick Kemp and Maddy Prior on Steeleye Span’s CD They Called Her Babylon and their video The 35^th Anniversary World Tour 2004. Rick Kemp commented in the CD sleeve notes:

A poetic view of the pre-Christian festival which became Halloween. This is my favourite time of the year, but I wonder if Pagans had the same rosy view of winter as me, without the benefit of supermarkets, and if the chestnut tree was introduced by then?
