My fav cd of hers is YEAR. A very haunting song on it is The Fabled Hare,. Your storry of the hedgerow makes me think of it, as these lyrics gives me shivers, sums up the struggle between wild things and industrialization/man's disregard:
Man sprays no weeds The scythe cuts, the corn bleeds Leverets trapped in a harvest blade 'Tis the time of man, the hare said
Here's the tractor, here's the plough And where shall we go now We'll lie in forms as still as the dead In the open fields, the hare said
No cover but the camouflage From the winter's wild and bitter rage All our defence is in our legs We run like the wind, the hare said
