Mabon
A song for the turning of the season.
Out September 4, 2026
Nothing’s lost, only changed.
There is a moment each year when the world seems to hover between what has been and what is still to come. Light and dark meet as equals. The trees begin their letting go. Seeds fall into the earth and disappear from sight.
Mabon grew from that place: the autumn equinox, the turning of the seasons, and the quiet truth that change does not have to mean loss.
I have always been drawn to the way the natural world reminds us of things we so easily forget. Nothing stays as it is. The leaf falls. The seed disappears beneath the soil. The light retreats. And still, life continues becoming.
We hold our breath in equipoise.
Written as contemporary folk with layered vocal harmonies, atmospheric synths, acoustic guitar and a cinematic sense of space, Mabon is an invitation to stand for a moment at the threshold — between abundance and release, light and shadow, outwardness and the journey inward.
Lyrics
Trees touched by flaming kisses Reds and golds begin to glow Spiral in to Autumn’s wishes Drifting to and fro In the crunch of Summer Leaves crisp, sweat drips And I find myself in your balmy arms Waiting for the wind and the moon Journey’s end, John Barleycorn Nodding heads, bending stems Ready to rest quietly Sing soul into earthen bed Leaves will fall Winds will blow I am journeying inward Nothing’s lost Only changed as the circle goes round Sun soaked leaves of hunter green Seeds heavy on the boughs Dusty pathways wind away Begging for rain to breathe again I am whole I am ever changing I am softly fearless Deciduous, evergreen I am whole I am ever changing I am softly fearless Deciduous, evergreen We hold our breath in equipoise Night and day face to face in perfect embrace The scales tip, and so we embark Leaves will fall Winds will blow I am journeying inward Nothing’s lost Only changed as the circle goes round Leaves will fall Winds will blow I am journeying inward Nothing’s lost Only changed as the circle goes round Circle goes round Circle goes round Circle goes round Circle goes round Circle goes round Circle goes round
