Bright Field from Atlas by Deborah Rose
There is a field I love to walk to in my hometown of Ludlow. One Good Friday, as I walked into a glorious sunset, missing my late grandmother, I imagined meeting her one day in this bright field. The song carries a theme of eternity and echoes the poem by Welsh poet R. S. Thomas. The music video was later filmed among the tulip fields of Holland.

Lyrics
Bright Field
I turn aside and catch a glimpse of glory
A blazing sun on Good Friday night
The earth is crammed with heaven if you
choose to look
Every spinning star, and pebble under foot
Extraordinary ordinary moments
I’ll meet you here in this bright field
I turn aside and catch a glimpse of glory
A choir singing in the afternoon
The incense burns the darkness into light
And the flight of the turtle dove fills the
room
I turn aside and catch a glimpse of glory
A sea of colour from a simple flower
The fleeting beauty of hopes and dreams
Come tiptoe through the tulips with me
I turn aside and catch a glimpse of glory
Moses saw the burning bush
Each day is full of chances to hear your
name
In a whisper or the flicker of a flame
Extraordinary ordinary moments
I’ll meet you here in this bright field
(Rose)
