MTS Music, in collaboration with Narked Records, is please to announce the release of Spiritual Relationship: The Deeper Meaning, the new album by Washington DC based music producer Matthew Shell. The Deeper Meaning was conceived over a period of 15 years ago by Matthew Shell. During this process, over 200 songs were created and scratched before this final version of 11 songs were picked to be recorded and release as part of this project. Matthew’s wife, Terra, inspired the completion of this concept album which goes from two destined souls being alone, to meeting, to growing in love, to protecting each other, to finding true love that lasts a lifetime.

Prayer For World Peace (feat. Samantha Gunney, Yoed Nir & Vahagn Stepanyan)

As heard at: http://soulgurusounds.com/beautiful-dreamer-extended-jazz-mix-feat-carolyn-malachi/ 

This is a bonus track from the "Gold", "Freedom" & "Victorious" era of recording sessions featuring ending vocals by Carolyn Malachi (http://www.CarolynMalachi.com/gold). 

The original instrumental version of what you are hearing is titled "Beauty In Freedom" (https://soundcloud.com/mtsmusic/beauty-in-freedom) and was released on Trey Eley & Matthew Shell's album "Freedom" (https://soundcloud.com/mtsmusic/sets/freedom-album-preview-via). All of the different versions of this song were produced, engineered & mixed by Matthew Shell (http://www.MTSmusic.net) & Darrick Atwater (http://www.SoundCloud.com/Agent-Method).

Following the production of "Beauty In Freedom", the MTS Music music team collaborated with Carolyn Malachi to make the indie hit "Beautiful Dreamer" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAJ5XfQ55Nk) as featured on Carolyn's album "Gold". 

What you are hearing here is a hybrid of these two songs, featuring the arrangement of "Beauty In Freedom", but with Carolyn's vocals from  "Beautiful Dreamer" mixed in at the end.

Feedback is welcome. Thanks for listening.

Lyrics (for the Extended Jazz Mix):

[Jazz scat vocals]

Beautiful Dreamer

Do you believe?
The world is yours
You can do anything
Anything

When the world turns ugly
You must think yourself beautiful
When the world makes you feel weak
You must be strong

Beautiful

Please don't give up

Beautiful

The world needs you
Please, please don't give up

Beautiful

Please stay

Beautiful

Keep pushing
Keep trying
Keep living
Keep thriving
You can do it

Beautiful

Hey dreamer
I believe in you
You can do anything
Said, you can do anything

Beautiful Dreamer

Lyrics by Hayley Williams of Paramore: 

I'm going away for a while. But I'll be back, don't try to follow me, 'Cause I'll return as soon as possible. See I'm trying to find my place, But it might not be here where I feel safe. We all learn to make mistakes. And run. From them, from them, With no direction. We'll run from them, from them, With no conviction. 'Cause I'm just one of those ghosts, Travelling endlessly. Don't need no roads. In fact they follow me. And we just go in circles. Now I'm told that this life, And pain is just a simple comprimise, So we can get what we want out of it. Would someone care to classify, Our broken hearts and twisted minds, So I can find someone to rely on. And run, To them, to them Full speed ahead. Oh, you are not useless. We are just... Misguided ghosts, Travelling endlessly. The ones we trusted the most, Pushed us far away. And theres no one road, We should not be the same. But I'm just a ghost, And still they echo me. They echo me in circles.

Molly Moore writes: 
The teams' aim in the music video was to create a cinematic experience with the music as the soundtrack. Funny enough, the scene of them running in the storage area was them getting kicked out of the place! The dark figure in the music video symbolizes negativity, and Molly’s narrative is a choice to follow it, run from it, or let it take her over: a cat & mouse chase between body/mind/spirit/light & fear. The true essence of a “Natural Disaster.”

Quote: Matthew Shell and Trey Eley are simply and profoundly incredible. 'Freedom' is perhaps the best album I've heard in years. I know if Miles Davis were still alive and was shown this album, he would be obsessed with it. I wish I had the ability to send it Prince's way because I can safely bet that he would absolutely love it too. The musicianship I must reiterate is of the highest caliber. I can only dream of playing as well as any one of the musicians on this album. Not only is the music very powerful and beautiful, the people behind it are also wonderful, intelligent and very kind. I can and do honestly wish Matthew Shell and Trey Eley along with all their creative friends involved with 'Freedom' the best of luck and much future fortune. Let the music take you over with 'Freedom'
