DIRECTOR’S CUT

“For some years I had wanted to revisit

a selection of tracks from the albums

‘The Sensual World’ and ‘The Red Shoes’.

Keeping the best original performances

from the musicians but stripping out the

tracks, adding new scenes and textures before

sewing it all back together, it has become

something of a director’s cut but in sound -

not vision. When it came to singing these

songs again, it was like trying to open a door

with the wrong shaped key. So I changed

the key and the door began to open...”

For Pa.

FLOWER OF THE MOUNTAIN ( ORIGINALLY TITLED THE SENSUAL WORLD )

yes first I gave him a bit of seedcake out of my mouth and it was leapyear like now yes 16 years ago my God after that

long kiss I near lost my breath yes he said I was a flower of the mountain yes so we are flowers all a woman’s body yes

stepping out of the page into the sensual world stepping out and Gibraltar as a girl where I was a Flower of the mountain

yes when I put the rose in my hair like the Andalusian girls used or shall I wear a red yes and how he kissed me under

the Moorish wall and I thought well as well him as another stepping out off the page into the sensual world stepping out

off the page into the sensual world and then I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I

say yes my mountain flower and first I put my arms around him yes and drew him down to me so he could feel my

breasts all perfume yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes.
