Norland Wind from Elmwood Station by Sarah Bauhan
The late Scottish singer Jim Reid took Violet Jacob’s (1863–1946) poem “The Wild Geese,” from 1915, and made a gorgeous song. Chloe, in an impressive Scots dialect evocatively conveys the narrator’s deep longing to be back in Scotland, and in particular Angus, via a conversation with the wind. I have loved this song ever since I first heard Cilla Fisher sing it back in the ’80s, and I understand the yearning.
