Megan Henwood & Findlay Napier

Megan Henwood and Findlay Napier performing Ode To The Man With The Golden Arm live in Oxford A lullaby-like Ode to the Man with the Golden Arm – a homage to an Australian whose blood plasma was found to contain a potent antibody used to create a remarkable treatment (Anti-D) that protected unborn babies. Says Megan: “The man with the golden arm is James Harrison. After discovering that his blood contained a rare antigen to Rhesus Disease, a condition where antibodies in a pregnant woman's blood destroy her baby's blood cells, he decided to donate as much as he could. “HIs donations saved an estimated 2.5 million babies in Australia .This song is an ode to him and his extraordinarily humble altruism.” Harrison gave his last plasma donation in 2018 having donated blood every week for 60 years. Megan plays a custom Fylde Tenor Guitar and Findlay plays a Custom Fylde Ariel guitar called "Jupiter". Recorded using mid-side technique with a Rode NT-2 and a Cascade Audio Fathead.

From "The Story Song Scientists" EP "Quantum Lyrics" Written and performed by Megan Henwood and Findlay Napier LYRICS 1800 and Froze to Death Sleeping giant sprung awake / smothering the earth in ash The cloud that changed the course of fate / Merciless the aftermath Contaminated atmosphere / Jack frost threw a tantrum Churned up every icy tear / overstayed his welcome When that fiery mounting reared her head Then the sky turned dark And the sun burned red Eighteen hundred and froze to death The year without a summer Withered winds and bitter sleet / Cropped fields wilt defeated Livestock followed worn out weak / The hungry north retreated Blood shade snowflakes spiraled fall / to land on stiff eye lashes This weather punished one and all / Dust to dust, ashes to ashes Death would come as sweet relief / For millions in distress In Littleport on Spa Fields,/ rioting dispossessed Holed up in Byron’s alpine lodge / With a cellar full of wine from Shelley’s boredom rose a plot / She conjured Frankenstein Eighteen hundred and froze to death Old Tambora rose and said You don’t what’s hit you yet The year without a summer When that fiery mounting reared her head Then the sky turned dark And the sun burned red Eighteen hundred and froze to death The year without a summer
