It is, perhaps, not a particularly well-kept secret that children do grow up – and seemingly at a faster rate than is reasonable. Luke Fraser and Sarah Frank – aka The Bombadils (for well-documented Lord of the Rings-related reasons) – can be forgiven though for commenting on it in song, because it does generally come as a surprise nonetheless. One minute they are as cute as a button, the next minute they’re fully-fledged adults in their own right. Which is as it should be… but even so there’s the bitter-sweetness of it all: “I’m lost in the thought, “Someday you’ll move on” / To chase your own dreams and sing your own song“.
‘Little Days‘ is taken from The Bombadils next album ‘Dear Friend‘, which is out on January 13th 2023.
