Chalk and flint, wood and clay
 our bones, our blood,
our place, our way
 Where we come from, where we stay
 Without you it wouldn't be the same

 We are the soil, the water, the stars and sun 
It's always been this way since time begun
 So no matter what is said or done
 I will be there for you no matter what

 Yes my brother
 We stand as one
 Yes my brother 
We'll fall as one
 For when time is done and your life is gone 
I'll shine that light for you good and strong 

Blaze the fire all night long

 The flames connect us with our past
 Whilst lighting a future of another path
 Accepting you've passed has to be done
 Though forever you will be loved and not forgotten Yes my brother
 We stand as one
 Yes my brother
 We'll fall as one 
For when time is done and your life is gone 
I'll shine that light for you good and strong

about

Stand or Fall is the work of a collective of souls known to each other for decades and represents a reformation after a long musical sabbatical to join together and start a new chapter of musical productivity.

Longman is a band fusion of musical influences and relationships which are embodied as one spirit that seeks to reflect the common experiences of the members.

Celebration, Resistance, Frustration, Uprising, Peace, Spirit, Nature and Experience are all reflected in the topics of the tracks and the lyrics that are crafted throughout for the songs.

Stand or Fall is the first album since the band renamed and reformed since the passing of our good friend and guitarist Andy Cheetham, and the title track features the last known recording of him on acoustic guitar.

Tracks move from Reggae and Rock influences, along with Folk and Progressive to fuse something unique and original, and this album was forged over a period of 2 years which was incubated together on a trip to the Isle of Mull in Scotland, where several members take solace annually.

We hope you enjoy the music

Longman
