Tales Of Love and Loss

The Baebes release their first in a series of themed albums starting with Tales Of Love And Loss a remastered new compilation album including a live previously unreleased track recorded at Gloucester Cathedral. Tales of Love and Loss is a collection of songs that explore the enduring themes found in the love poetry and literature of the Middle Ages and beyond. As we all know too well, love stories do not always have happy endings; just because one pursues another relentlessly does not guarantee their surrender, thus stories of unrequited love and disillusionment were prevalent in the Mediaeval period. And yet, what is life without the pursuit of love? In a lesser known verse of Scarborough Fayre we are reminded that love imposes impossible tasks, but not more than any heart asks.
