Sehr schön! Wird leider auch ihr letztes Album sein:
„When I wrote the title song „Heartleap“ just four months ago,“ she says, „it was like all the songs I’d ever wanted to write. It was a condensed way of saying all I’d ever wanted to say. Anything more would feel like a repeat.“
Following the album’s release, Bunyan says she will be concentrating on writing a book, tracing her two year journey in the late 1960s with Robert Kirby through the UK by horse and cart: „For a while now I have promised myself and my children that after this album I would set about writing a book that will tell the real story of the Just Another Diamond Day journey.“
Heartleap was recorded in a studio in Bunyan’s home in Edinburgh, and unlike 2005’s Lookaftering, which brought in a number of supporting collaborators, is largely arranged and composed by Bunyan herself, with brief appearances from Vetiver’s Andy Cabic. She says she „wanted it to be more akin to my very first recordings, pre-Diamond Day… I wanted to see what I could do without using the ideas of others.“
