Got this song back in the very early days of mp3 when blex was still a thing. File date says 2005 but I'm pretty sure it's earlier than that, like '98 or '99

unfortunately the only info I have with it is the title 'Seven Sisters'

tried shazaam but no luck

On Tuesday seven sisters came a knockin' on my door
I was feeling fearful but I didn't know what for
Told me that their mother was the one who gave me dreams
and they had come here to collect the usual fee
Said that I should walk with them along a dusty road
And they would show me many things and take what they were owed
The journey wasn't too far, it was only 30 miles
but there was a cloud with blood red lining in the sky
The older sister smiled, said you are alone, is there anybody in there, when are they coming home

First there was Miss Guided, Miss Directed was her twin
and Ms Chief was a beauty with a dark and knowing grin
Miss Behave and Ms Ery would always disagree
But my favorite was Miss Anthropy, she wouldn't talk to me

The oldest sister said "Don't let me be misunderstood
But all your dreams will come alive if only you are good."
I looked into her eyes, you said am I alone, is there anybody in there, when are we going home

Once you start the journey, you're always going home
Once you start the journey, you're always going home
Once you start the journey, you're always going home
Once you start the journey, you're always going home

They took me to a leper man lying on his mat
He said "The mist of death will cloud your eyes, you're never coming back."
They showed me seven diamonds that shone with a blue light
and seven hungry children going naked in the night
Took me to a water hole, wouldn't let me drink
Sent me ballads of desire and many other things
Till they threw me in the water, left me on my own
I sank beneath the surface and knew I was at home

Interesting puzzle. The style reminds me a lot of the Handsome Family, but I'm pretty certain that's not them singing.
