Alela Diane Featuring Alina Hardin - Alela Alina
Review by Harald Naumann
Alela Alina is a beautiful collaborative album by Alela Diane and Alina Hardin. The album features nine tracks, all of which showcase the beautiful and harmonious voices of the two artists. The overall sound of the album is dreamy and ethereal, with a hint of folk and Americana influences.
The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful track "Amidst the Movement," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The track features delicate acoustic guitar and the beautiful harmonies of Alela and Alina. "Bowling Green" is another standout track, with its gentle melody and poignant lyrics.
"Shapeless" is a highlight of the album, with its upbeat tempo and catchy chorus. The track features Alela and Alina's voices blending together perfectly, creating a joyful and uplifting sound. "Bittersweet Waltz" is another standout track, with its melancholic melody and heartfelt lyrics.

Comments
Well I'm sure no one cares but I stumbled upon this song and thought this was going to pale in comparison to the Fairport convention version. Boy I was wrong these ladies are awesome. I will be looking up more music by them.
Great vocals.
vous êtes trop magnifiques
11/02/2021: she cam out of hiding yesterday. her face shown clear and bright, empty of history
Masterful!
Alela tu es trop puissante tu est simplement la meilleure...❤❤❤❤
Remember this from George Gently, but this version ist even better!
Beautyful!
J’adore cette chanson elle est tout simplement magnifique ❤️
The only version I listen to other than Doc Watson's version, both are amazing!
Wow, this is a good version.
I dare you to find one straight bad guy in this story
A holiday, a holiday,
The first one of the year.
Lord Arlen's wife came into the church
The Gospel for to hear
And when the meeting it was done
She cast her eyes about,
And there she saw little Matty Groves
Walking in the crowd.
"Come home with me, little Matty Groves,
Come home with me tonight.
Come home with me, little Matty Groves,
And sleep with me 'til light"
"Oh I can't come home, I won't come home,
And sleep with you tonight!
By the rings on your fingers I can tell
You are my master's wife."
"What if I am Lord Arlen's wife,
Lord Arlen's not at home.
He is out in the far cornfields,
Bringing the yearlings home."
A servant who was standing by
And hearing what was said,
He swore Lord Arlen he would know
Before the sun would set.
And in his hurry to carry the news
He bent his breast and ran,
And when he came to the broad mill stream
He took off his shoes and swam.
Matty Groves he lay down
And took a little sleep.
When he awoke, Lord Arlen
Was standing at his feet,
Saying "How do you like my feather bed?
And how do you like my sheets?
How do you like my lady
Who lies in your arms asleep?"
"Oh well I like your feather bed
And well I like your sheets,
But better I like your lady wife
Who lies in my arms asleep"
"Well, get up! Get up!" Lord Arlen cried,
"Get up as quick as you can!
It'll never be said in fair England
That I skew a naked man."
"Oh I can't get up, I won't get up
I can't get up for my life!
For you have two long beaten swords
And I but a pocket knife."
"Well it's true I have two beaten swords,
And they cost me deep in the purse.
But you will have the better of them
And I will have the worse.
"And you will strike the very first blow
And strike it like a man!
I will strike the very next blow
And I'll kill you if I can."
So Matty struck the very first blow
And he hurt Lord Arlen sore.
Lord Arlen struck the very next blow
And Matty struck no more.
And then Lord Arlen he took his wife
And he sat her upon his knee,
Saying, "Who do you like the best of us,
Matty Groves or me?"
And then up spoke his own dear wife,
Never heard to speak so free:
"I'd rather a kiss from dead Matty's lips
Than you or your finery."
Lord Arlen he jumped up
And loudly he did bawl;
He struck his wife right through the heart
And pinned her against the wall.
"A grave, a grave!" Lord Arlen cried,
"To put these lovers in!
But bury my lady at the top -
She was of noble kin."
The first one of the year.
Lord Arlen's wife came into the church
The Gospel for to hear
And when the meeting it was done
She cast her eyes about,
And there she saw little Matty Groves
Walking in the crowd.
"Come home with me, little Matty Groves,
Come home with me tonight.
Come home with me, little Matty Groves,
And sleep with me 'til light"
"Oh I can't come home, I won't come home,
And sleep with you tonight!
By the rings on your fingers I can tell
You are my master's wife."
"What if I am Lord Arlen's wife,
Lord Arlen's not at home.
He is out in the far cornfields,
Bringing the yearlings home."
A servant who was standing by
And hearing what was said,

Before the sun would set.

And when he came to the broad mill stream

And took a little sleep.

Was standing at his feet,
Saying "How do you like my feather bed?
And how do you like my sheets?
How do you like my lady
Who lies in your arms asleep?"
"Oh well I like your feather bed
And well I like your sheets,
But better I like your lady wife
Who lies in my arms asleep"
"Well, get up! Get up!" Lord Arlen cried,
"Get up as quick as you can!
It'll never be said in fair England
That I skew a naked man."
"Oh I can't get up, I won't get up
I can't get up for my life!
For you have two long beaten swords
And I but a pocket knife."
"Well it's true I have two beaten swords,
And they cost me deep in the purse.
But you will have the better of them
And I will have the worse.
"And you will strike the very first blow
And strike it like a man!
I will strike the very next blow
And I'll kill you if I can."
So Matty struck the very first blow
And he hurt Lord Arlen sore.
Lord Arlen struck the very next blow
And Matty struck no more.
And then Lord Arlen he took his wife
And he sat her upon his knee,
Saying, "Who do you like the best of us,

Matty Groves
A holiday, a holiday, and the first one of the year
Lord Donald's wife came into the church, the gospel for to hear
And when the meeting it was done, she cast her eyes about
And there she saw little Matty Groves, walking in the crowd
"Come home with me, little Matty Groves, come home with me tonight
Come home with me, little Matty Groves, and sleep with me till light"
"Oh, I can't come home, I won't come home and sleep with you tonight
By the rings on your fingers I can tell you are my master's wife"
"But if I am Lord Donald's wife, Lord Donald's not at home
He is out in the far cornfields bringing the yearlings home"

Saying "How do you like my feather bed and how do you like my sheets
How do you like my lady who lies in your arms asleep?"
"Oh, well I like your feather bed and well I like your sheets
But better I like your lady gay who lies in my arms asleep"
"Well, get up, get up, " Lord Donald cried, "get up as quick as you can
It'll never be said in fair England that I slew a naked man"
"Oh, I can't get up, I won't get up, I can't get up for my life
For you have two long beaten swords and I not a pocket knife"
"Well it's true I have two beaten swords and they cost me deep in the purse
But you will have the better of them and I will have the worse
And you will strike the very first blow and strike it like a man

Very nice cover
poor bastard just wanna get laid
Ok, this was nice! But really... if you don't know it already: y'all MUST discover Joan Baez's version of Matty Groves! The most powerful, most haunting, most out-of-this-world, most definitive version!!
this matty groves and the girl were punished by the lord for adultery and that is justice! Pray god and don't be disturbed by flesh! Flesh is devil! Think about your eternity, not about your poor life in this world! You don't have to be happy here, just stay with your wife and husband and prepare yourself for your death to come! Loving a man or a woman is useless, just love god! amen!
Stunning
Oh yeah. Right up there with Fairport Convention and Doc Watson.
Wow, that was extraordinary! The only version I have ever heard to come close to the Fairport Convention version. These gals are talented!
Mrs. Alexa Diane: one on my favorite singer-sing writer, wonderful version!
Something so magical happens when Alela and Alina sing together...it's so beautiful...
