Snowstar Records 21-182

Love Is The First Law
There Are Worms In Your Circle, There Are Wolves


During the lockdown Bonnie “Prince” Billy and broeder Dieleman sent each other a title for a song that they then started working on. Bonnie “Prince” Billy wrote ‘Love is the first law’ (based on a text by Jan Huissoon, a 19th century folk artist you may already know from broeder Dieleman’s work) and broeder Dieleman wrote ‘There are worms in your circle, there are wolves’.

Both songs are sung by Bonnie Billy.
