I don’t know how to classify what these guys play, but it’s damn cool. I first heard this song a few years back after I had just found out about the band. As their name suggests (‘Burlap to Cashmere’ signifying a transition from rough to smooth), their music and lyrics are very tender and touching. This song titled ‘Eileen’s song’ especially has touched my heart every time I have heard it. It remains to date, one of the best songs I have ever heard. I’m sure you will feel the same.

Eileen’s Song – Burlap To Cashmere

* You have one wing and I have another
Seeking shelter like sister and brother
through the winter and through the summer
like one angel we’ll
Fly far away *

Hold my hand and we’ll make it all right
From this hell that we live in
Cross the road until the light
Comes inside and lives within
It’s a long and lonesome ride
When your friends have all gone home
But the roses in your eyes
They pull me in so I don’t feel alone

Sometimes I just can’t help but cry
When I think of what we’ve become
Like a soldier lost in the night
Forgetting all where he has come from
But the mud will soon become dry
And the sun will rise again
And the shadows in our eyes
Will fade away down to lower plains

So my friend now this I say
I won’t leave you hangin’ on
Hold on tight now and don’t fly away
Till one angel we have become

Just found out from wikipedia that they play a mix of folk, world and flamenco styles. Cool!
