THE CHEESEMAKERS NEW SINGLE - OUT NOW!








'When The Girl In The Blue Dress Sings'

Audio - https://soundcloud.com/cheesemaker-1
Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mUsFkYfPs8

The Cheesemakers new single, and Part Two of 'Inspiring Women' series. For Part One search 'Cheesemakers White Mouse' on the You Tubes

Synopsis: "A song about the songs of Bridie Jackson & The Arbour and how they make people feel. Part 2 of our 'Inspiring Women' series, (Part One is White Mouse about the life of WW2 heroine Nancy Wake). After talking with other listeners about this music they all agreed. This song describes how you can feel a breadth of emotions all within one tune, whilst listening to BJ&A you can have tears streaming down your face one minute then be laughing heartily the next, and within music this is an astonishing feat. I am very aware of how Bridie & the group wish to come across and they achieve that with aplomb. This song is The Cheesemakers attempt at describing that, and portaying how you can feel the whole spectrum of emotion all within 4 minutes."

With great thanks to Bridie Jackson and The Arbour for inspiration and Iona Frances Brown for making the film

WHITE MOUSE 
(DON'T FORGET NANCY WAKE)



NEW SINGLE RELEASED NOW 

As part of our plan to release 'singles' and impact releases, this is the first of a two-part series of individual tracks about inspiring women. The first one is, I believe, maybe the best song we've ever written and is inspired by the life of one Nancy Wake. Please go and find out about her after you have listened to the song, an amazing woman and hopefully she would appreciate our song about her life.

All we ask is you listen and let us know what you think

Listen to it here now -  https://soundcloud.com/cheesemaker-1/tracks 

WHITE MOUSE (DON'T FORGET NANCY WAKE)

From cosmopolitan Marseilles 1939
Seduced by proficient tango
Nancy married Henri, wealthy so he was
Charm & sophistication
Champagne & caviar
Living on a hill on the harbour

Who’d have thought that Nancy Wake
Would turn into the White Mouse?

Have you ever been afraid?
‘I’ve never been afraid in my life’
Nancy Wake The White Mouse said
500k through German checkpoints
I guess that’s not being afraid?
Nancy Wake The White Mouse

False papers & a purchased ambulance
Trained at Scotlands MOD
She joined the French Resistance
7,000 Maquis troops she led
The SS nor the Gestapo
Could capture The White Mouse

Who’d have thought that Nancy Wake
Would turn into the White Mouse?

Have you ever been afraid?
‘I’ve never been afraid in my life’
Nancy Wake The White Mouse said
A sleepless life on the move
The Plateau was her great win
Nancy Wake The White Mouse

On returning to Vichy in liberation
She learned Henri had died
For he would not betray her
Post war decorations came
And glory to this day
‘A lady till the fighting starts’

Who’d have thought that Nancy Wake
Would turn into the White Mouse?

Have you ever been afraid?
‘I’ve never been afraid in my life’
Nancy Wake The White Mouse said
Her ashes scattered on the hills she fought
‘That was good enough for me’
Nancy Wake The White Mouse said




The next song in the series is due mid-September and is about another inspiring woman's songs & lyrics, a film has been commissioned to go with it, so watch out for that 'impact' release very soon...

Thanks for listening and sharing
