about

Time Unremembered is the title track for a piece commissioned for the eponymous short film by Bradley Mell & Beccie Allen

A father and daughter, estranged for years, find themselves together in a hospital room. It's their last chance to reconnect, can they heal old wounds and make peace with one another?

Time Unremembered is a short film written by Bradley Mell and Beccie Allen exploring parenthood, absence and legacy. Featuring original music from folk artist Johnny Campbell, the film is scheduled for production in 2024.

lyrics

Through the bushes and briars
In the hollows and byres
It's there I'll remember your name

In the deepest ravine
Where none can be seen
There's a toast that there's to be claimed

If there's a trig on the hill
And while There's breath There's a will
And strength in my body to fly

The ghosts on moor
Will dance forever more
On a weathered summit in May, time unremembered in May

I remember the song
Where the skylark sang along
That was nowhere up above to be seen

And the breath of the wind
Kissed the sky in-between
Words never meant to be said

If a yarn's to be spun
Or a song's to be sung
Or a tale that's there to be told

Let's catch it with ease
Like a lilt on the breeze
On a weathered summit in May, time unremembered in May

When the landlord's days are done
Every captive soul has sung
And the moorlands are free
As the sky in between
And the breath of the wind
Whispers words that are now free
If time's a thing to be bought
All the money that I'd sought
My pockets would empty for thee

It's through the bushes and briars
In the hollows and byres
Catching time unremembered in May
