    This 17th studio album from Kate seamlessly blends old and new across 12-tracks of traditional folk, covers and self-penned songs.The album is a deeply personal collection which pays homage to her family and musical heritage, and home life in Yorkshire. With Philosophers, Poets & Kings, Kate raises a toast to her parents. She recalls an upbringing filled with music; whether recording songs performed during wine-fuelled family singalongs or her formative years spent watching festival performances by famed musicians.

lyrics

Come all of you who carry doubt,
Stand by me as the lights go out,
Stand by me as the stars they shine,
Tonight the stars are yours and mine,
Tonight the stars are yours and mine.

Take out your grief, take out your fears,
We’ll tie them up with threads of tears,
Then hang them up on a star so bright,
And send them out into the night,
We’ll send them out into the night.

Sometimes it’s hard to let them go,
When they’ve been so heavy and it’s all you’ve known,
But we stand together and the night is kind,
I know them well and the stars don’t mind,
I know them well, the stars don’t mind
I know them well, the stars don’t mind.

So with lighter heart and lighter tread,
We can face the dawn with a smile instead,
You can take them down when they next appear,
Or when we meet again in another year,
Let's meet again in another year.

So come all of you who carry doubt,
Stand by me as the lights go out,
Stand by me as the stars they shine,
Tonight the stars are yours and mine,
Tonight the stars are yours and mine.
Oh tonight the stars are yours and mine.
