Subject: Any February Songs? From: GeoffLawes Date: 02 Feb 21 - 08:52 AM
-Joe Offer- Can you suggest any songs associated with the month of February? That is : (A) Any songs with February in the title (B) Any songs with a February date given in the lyrics (C) Any songs referencing an event that is known to have occurred in February even if the lyrics do not actually say so. It would be very helpful to have links to performances of the songs and also more sources of information about them. Directly below is an alphabetical index of the titles collected in this thread. If a title in this index is blue then by clicking it you should be jumped to the section of the thread in which most of the discussion and links for that title occur. If you just want to add a new post to this thread use one of the the “post” buttons to jump to the end of the thread. I shall sometimes rearrange “late” posts to group them with their appropriate main area of discussion so that they are not overlooked.

With forty brave seamen for our ship's company And so boldly from the eastward to the westward bore we.
Now, we had not been sailing scarce days two or three,
So at last this bold pirate, she hove alongside,
“So come heave up your course sails and lay your ship to,
So we hove our course sail, our stay sails too,
They fired shots after us but none did prevail
“So thank God!” cried our captain, “Now the firing is done. FEBRUARY Joan Baez https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc_TBPEDHxI I threw your keys in the water, I looked back They'd frozen half way down in the ice They froze up so quickly, the keys and their owners Even after the anger, it all turned silent and The everyday turned solitary So we came to February First we forgot where we'd planted those bulbs last year Then we forgot that we'd planted at all Then we forgot what plants are altogether And I blamed you for my freezing and forgetting and The nights were long and cold and scary Can we live through February? You know I think Christmas was a long red glare Shot up like a warning, we gave presents without cards And then the snow And then the snow came, we were always out shoveling And we'd drop to sleep exhausted Then we'd wake up, and it's snowing And February was so long that it lasted into March And found us walking a path alone together You stopped and pointed and you said, "That's a crocus" And I said "What's a crocus?" and you said "It's a flower" I tried to remember but I said "What's a flower?" You said "I still love you" The leaves were turning as we drove to the hardware store My new lover made me keys to the house And when we got home, well we just started chopping wood Because you never know how the next will be And we'll gather all our arms can carry I have lost to February

Subject: RE: Any February Songs? From: GUEST Date: 02 Feb 21 - 09:45 PM There are literally thousands or songs with February in the title listed on the MCPS/PRS database of various genres. Though from a folk point of view, walking in February isn't nearly as popular as going a' walking in May.. too blooming cold to go maiden spotting. There are of course also many indirect February songs linked to Valentines, or where February is mentioned in passing within the lyric, but not the main thrust of the song. |

Subject: RE: Any February Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 04 Feb 21 - 08:54 AM A SONG OF WEATHER By Flanders and Swan A Song of the Weather Flanders & Swann https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qV-VO5eXOA January brings the snow, Makes your feet and fingers glow. February's ice and sleet, Freeze the toes right off your feet. Welcome March with wint'ry wind, Would thou wert not so unkind. April brings the sweet Spring showers, On and on for hours and hours. Farmers fear unkindly May, Frost by night and hail by day. June just rains and never stops, Thirty days and spoils the crops. In July the sun is hot. Is it shining? No, it's not. August, cold and dank and wet, Brings more rain than any yet. Bleak September's mist and mud, Is enough to chill the blood. Then October adds a gale, Wind and slush and rain and hail. Dark November brings the fog, Should not do it to a dog. Freezing wet December; then, Bloody January again! Flanders and Swann parody of the following Nursery Rhyme; January brings the snow, Makes our feet and fingers glow. February brings the rain, Thaws the frozen lake again. March brings breezes sharp and shrill, Shakes the dancing daffodil. April brings the primrose sweet, Scatters daisies at our feet. May brings flocks of pretty lambs, Skipping by their fleecy dams. June brings tulips, lillies, roses, Fills the children's hands with posies. Hot July brings cooling showers, Apricots and gillyflowers. August brings the sheaves of corn, Then the harvest home is borne. Warm September brings the fruit, Sportsmen then begin to shoot. Brown October brings the pheasant, Then to gather nuts is pleasant. Dull November brings the blast, Then the leaves go whirling past. Chill December brings the sleet, Blazing fire and Christmas treat. |

Subject: RE: Any February Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 04 Feb 21 - 01:10 PM Leader of the victorious Continental Army, first U.S. president and presiding spirit in the drawing up of his new nation’s constitution, Virginia-born George Washington was a hero and role model to revolutionary anti Hanoverians such as Burns. There are a number of songs celebrating Washington's birthday. Robert Burns wrote this poem in 1794. Ode [For General Washington's Birthday] No Spartan tube, no Attic shell, No lyre Eolian I awake; 'Tis Liberty's bold note I swell, Thy harp, Columbia, let me take. See gathering thousands, while I sing, A broken chain, exulting, bring, And dash it in a tyrant's face! And dare him to his very beard, And tell him he no more is feared, No more the Despot of Columbia's race. A tyrant's proudest insults brav'd, They shout - a People freed! They hail an Empire saved. On George Washington's birth certificate, it says that he was born on Feb. 11, 1731. In the textbooks it says that he was born Feb. 22, 1732. Which side is correct? Both, as usual. When Julius Caesar developed his calendar, his solar calculations were off by 11 minutes and 14 seconds a year. It added up over time. When Pope Gregory XIII developed his calendar in 1582, the disparity had reached 10 days. Gregory decreed that Oct. 4, 1582, should be called Oct. 15. England and its colonies finally adopted the Gregorian calendar on Sept. 2, 1752, decreeing the next day should be Sept. 14, thus bridging the 11-day difference between the Julian and Gregorian calendars. Thus, too, George Washington's birth date was transposed from Feb. 11, 1731 (called Old Style), to Feb. 22, 1732 (New Style). The British act also fixed the start of the new year at Jan. 1. Since the calendar was changed in September, moving January and February to the beginning of the year, Washington did not have a birthday in 1731. He skipped a year and thus became 11 days older and one year younger. JOHN M. CULKIN New York, Feb. 22, 1991. From The New York Times. |

Trimdon Grange Explosion by Tommy Armstrong Let us not think of to-morrow, Lest we disappointed be; All our joys may turn to sorrow, As we all may daily see. To-day we may be strong and healthy, But how soon there comes a change, As we may learn from the explosion, That has been at Trimdon Grange. February left behind it What will never be forgot; Weeping widows, helpless children, May be found in many a cot, Homes that once were blest with comfort, Guided by a father's care, Now are solemn, sad and gloomy, Since the father is not there.

BRIGHID’S KISS Eithne Ní Uallacháin's Brighid's Kiss , for example. Brighid’s Kiss Brighid of the sunrise Rising in the morning Rising with the Springtime Greening all the land. See you in the soft cloud, See you in the raindrop, See you in the winds of change Blowing through the land. You the red eared white cow, Nourishing the people, Nourish now the hunger Souls longing in our land. Bird that is unfolding, Now the time’s upon us, Only have we eyes to see Your Epiphany.

Subject: RE: Any February Songs? From: Acorn4 Date: 09 Feb 21 - 04:10 AM The Fair Maids of February As you walk out on a May morning, Many a fair maid you’ll spy, Who’ve all been waiting for this moment, Their hopes all flying high. You’ll see them spread across the fields, All of them on a mission, But for every maid there are three brisk lads, Eyeing up the competition. Now you may decide to chance your arm, And pray to lady luck, But those maidens that wander out in May Are all as common as muck. But if you want a rarer treat, Where rivals there are few, Then those fair maids of February, They are the ones for you. These fair maids out of season, Cunningly they steal All among the trees and bushes, Themselves for conceal Though it’s all quite illegal to play This game of hide and seek, If perchance they do get caught They’d be up before the beak. So although these maids of February are exceeding rare, If you are prepared to persevere, You’ll catch one in a snare. And he who dares may win the heart, Of a Nancy or a Polly, If you’re practised at the art, Of Spot the Ball or Where’s Wally For those fair maids of February Are bold and fearless lasses, While those fair-weather maids of May Are just a load of wusses. So come all ye brisk and handsome lads, Whose hearts are bold and merry, To boldly go where the cold winds do blow To find those fair maids of February. |

Subject: RE: Any February Songs? From: Reinhard Date: 15 Feb 21 - 02:18 PM Robin Dransfield's version of "Fair Maids of February" was written by him and his brother Barry. He wrote in the sleeve notes that 'fair maids of february' is an old country expression for snowdrops. I don't know where Acorn4's version is from and can't find anything in the world wild wilderness. With the phrases "common as muck" and "load of wusses" it doesn't sound traditional. |

Subject: RE: Any February Songs? From: Acorn4 Date: 16 Feb 21 - 05:12 AM It was in response to a themed singaround a couple of years ago when someone came up with "Fair Maids of February" as a theme for the month. Having nothing suitable I thought I'd better write something. No one at the session did the Robin Dransfield song, which is rather surprising as they are a knowledgeable lot, so I assume the theme must have been chosen for the snowdrops connection. |

From: GUEST,Diolch Date: 10 Jan 22 - 12:47 PM Another Shrove Tuesday song, from Wales. https://museum.wales/collections/folksongs/?id=30 Clickable tune on website PANCAKE SONG Woman of the house and good family, Please may I have a pancake ? Mother is too poor to buy flour And Father too lazy to work. Please may I have a pancake ? My mouth is dry for want of a pancake. If there is no butter in the house Put a large spoonful of treacle, And if there is no treacle in the house Give a terribly large pancake. Terribly, terribly. Collected 9.10.64 from Williams (postman, b. 1899), Sarn Mellteyrn, near Aberdaron, Caernarvonshire. Probably more of these around if you search for "pancake" in traditional song archives. |

Subject: RE: Any February Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 10 Jan 22 - 05:09 PM 5 February 2004 The Morecambe Bay Cockling Disaster Morecambe Bay by Maggie Holland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXEolE3WMXE I wrote the song in 2004 in the wake of the cockle-picking tragedy in Morecambe Bay. The tune I took from the Australian convict ballad ‘Moreton Bay’, initially because the resonance of the titles (I’d heard Moreton Bay sung many times in years past, mostly by Fred Wedlock). It was only when I started singing it that I realised the tune was originally from Ireland, usually called Boolavogue. Recorded by John Vick at Finiflex, Edinburgh, February 2005. |

The Fethard lifeboat was launched, but both vessels were smashed to pieces by mighty waves. Nine of the 14 crew were swept to their deaths; the remaining five joined the eight surviving sailors on the exposed reef , where they remained miserably clinging to rocks while the storm continued unabated. Several attempts to rescue them were foiled before two brave men, Bill Duggan and Jim Wickham of the Rosslare Fort lifeboat, took a dinghy and ferried the survivors two at a time from their ice cold rocks. The operation needed 6 trips in stormy seas to bring all to safety, but on the second of these, the dinghy was holed. For the remaining trips the sea was kept out by a loaf of bread wrapped in oilskins, plugged into the opening. The incident is known as THE FETHARD LIFEBOAT DISASTER There were poems and song composed in the aftermath of the disaster, including THE FETHARD LIFEBOAT CREW and THE MEXICO |
