Willows, also called sallows, and osiers, form the genus Salix, around 400 species of deciduous trees and shrubs, found primarily on moist soils in cold and temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Most species are known as willow, but some narrow-leaved shrub species are called osier, and some broader-leaved species are referred to as sallow (from Old English sealh, related to the Latin word salix, willow). Some willows (particularly arctic and alpine species) are low-growing or creeping shrubs; for example, the dwarf willow (Salix herbacea) rarely exceeds 6 cm (2.4 in) in height, though it spreads widely across the ground.
Willows all have abundant watery bark sap, which is heavily charged with salicylic acid, soft, usually pliant, tough wood, slender branches, and large, fibrous, often stoloniferous roots. The roots are remarkable for their toughness, size, and tenacity to life, and roots readily grow from aerial parts of the plant.
The leaves are typically elongated, but may also be round to oval, frequently with serrated edges. Most species are deciduous; semievergreen willows; coriaceous leaves are rare, e.g. Salix micans and S. australior in the eastern Mediterranean. All the buds are lateral; no absolutely terminal bud is ever formed. The buds are covered by a single scale. Usually, the bud scale is fused into a cap-like shape, but in some species it wraps around and the edges overlap. The leaves are simple, feather-veined, and typically linear-lanceolate. Usually they are serrate, rounded at base, acute or acuminate. The leaf petioles are short, the stipules often very conspicuous, resembling tiny, round leaves, and sometimes remaining for half the summer. On some species, however, they are small, inconspicuous, and caducous (soon falling). In color, the leaves show a great variety of greens, ranging from yellowish to bluish.

Many of you asked where I got the inspirations from. The lyrics were inspired by a fairytale story by Hans Christian Andersen called 'Under The Willow Tree'.

Lyrics: You fall through the trees And you pray with your knees on the ground For the things that you need With your lust and your greed weighing down And you weaken your love And you hold it above your head Success is a song of the heart, not a song of your bed And we all still die Yeah we all still die What will you leave behind? Oh we all still die You fall through the trees And you pray with your knees on the ground For the things that you need With your lust and your greed weighing down And you weaken your love And you hold it above your head Success is a song of the heart, not a song of your bed And we all still die Yeah we all still die What will you leave behind? Oh we all still die Marching away from the stream This tree it will die without leaves Marching away from the st...

'The Willow Maid' - original song © 2009 Erutan/Kate Covington From my debut album, "Raindancer" Song inspired by the tree sprites of Celtic Mythology ~ Hello guys! I've decided its time to release the songs from my original album, 'Raindancer', onto youtube for all my subs that never got to hear them. This means you guys can upload it too with your own videos if you like! Trying to generate buzz for album #2! The video took a couple days - I did all the line art and filled in with textures from cool cats on deviantart (will get lists and links up as soon as I can) to create a moving collage effect. (Sorry for nothing new lately - I developed vocal cord nodes from a hectic singing schedule this Spring, and am under doctor's orders to rest my voice for a few months. The good news is t...

Pedido Por: Anónimo. *Se refiere al peaje de los sueños rotos, o inclusive de la muerte. Hace referencia a la mitología griega, con respecto a que para entrar al Hades debías pagar con dos monedas de Oro a Caronte. ¿Qué quiere decir la canción? Hasta yo me lo pregunto. Aun así, al parecer habla acerca de la soledad que puede sentir una persona hasta en los momentos que se supondría son más felices y sublimes. Rellena el vacío, en este caso con un sauce, que se convierte en su gran amigo. Es como tener, pienso yo, un amigo imaginario.
