"The foundation of Wild Sweet was born out of a loop pedal improv on a New Year's sunrise set at a small festival many years ago. But the song was fully written during our recording process together in Asheville. Each of us was tasked with bringing two original songs to record. While I had a few options of lullabies to bring, and even started recording 1 of them, I felt something else wanting to come through. Tina encouraged me to keep searching and in the wee midnight hours, I rediscovered this melody from the archives of my recordings. One of our songwriting prompts during our group mastermind had been ‘polishing an old gem’, so I dove into polishing this song seed. The lyrics came swiftly, inspired by the energy of being in the cocoon of staying at home during lockdown, as well as the cocoon of our songwriting immersion, and the magic of recording this album together. It was the final song to be written during this cycle of our collective song-catching journey and captures the essence of what we were gathering. Wild Sweet sings to the emergence of widened wings after a deep season of rest, just as humanity is re-emerging into a new season of becoming." ~ Ayla Nereo

Wild Sweet

This track was born into the world through a moment of sheer ecstatic joy. It was my birthday, I walked downtown santa cruz and stumbled upon Singing Wood Marimba playing epically booty-dancing music that uplifted my spirits as nothing else ever has. I bough their cd and continuously wept whenever i heard one of the tracks, 'Tenda'. I experimented with a little of the looping style and chord progression from that track and used a vocal looper to create this song. I had the great honor of sharing this story with them, and inviting them to play on this track. 

Unstoppable Joy for me is an infectious way to live life ad posture the heart no matter what. It is an ongoing meditation and co-creation. I dedicate this song to my beloved friend, muse and collaborator Binah Zing, who loved this song and believed in its capacity to spread light and joy with the people. May we all rise and dance together in the freedom of our truest pure joy.
lyrics
I wonder what might happen 
if all the beings in all the worlds 
were free from suffering and without desire 
and burst into unstoppable joy 
I wonder what might happen 
if all the stars in all the skies 
were strung together with a common thread 
and shone together in common light 
the light of love 

I am that I am that I am Love, Unstoppable Love 
I am that I am that I am Light, Un-fade-able Light 
I am that I am that I am Joy, Unstoppable Joy 
I am that I am that I am that I am, 
Unstoppable Joy 

I wonder what might happen 
If all the eyes began to see 
the mystery of love unfolding 
in the perfection of you and me 
I wonder what might happen 
if all the hearts that felt the pulse 
would dance together in the rhythm of one song 
and sing united as one voice 
the voice of love 

I am that I am that I am Love, Ustoppable Love 
I am that I am that I am Light, Un-fade-able Light 
I am that I am that I am Joy, Unstoppable Joy 
I am that I am that I am that I am, 
Unstoppable Joy
