The Canoe

surrender to the magic

The beginning of this song is the Gayatri Mantra - a sanskrit chant that basically means "you are the source, please illuminate my heart".  It's a prayer for enlightenment and is chanted by millions of people daily, usually I think at sunrise and sunset.
One evening, at a period in my life when I was burnt out and desperate, I was in that place when I was too tired to sleep and too tired to do anything else.  I decided that playing guitar would make me feel better.  I chanted the gayatri mantra for about 20 mins and then a thought occurred to me - if the source could illuminate my mind in plain english that I could understand what would it say?
The english words in the song are the answer that I received.
I'm so glad this song resonates for so many people, it just shows me our hearts are all the same...

My composition Water Song is an awareness building song about the dangers of fracking, flooding, climate change and all of those things that are threatening our beautiful planet. It's written in the hope that we can change in time. 
I'll be performing Water Song on Simon Lederman's live radio session on BBC London 94.9FM on March 27th 10pm. You can listen online too so please tune in. 
A big thank you to Friends of the Earth for your support. 

Water Song

a G
Melt away let go of your pain
a e
And rest in the joy of your heart.
a G
See what you need to see,
a e
Free what you need to free,
a G
Be what you need to be,
a e
Finding your love again.
a G
return again return again
a e 
return to the land of your soul

Cultivating joy of the heart

In the end, it all comes back to this...

I surrender the known 
For the magic to unfold 
I surrender the old for the new 

I surrender the ways 
That have held back the days 
Of living my prayer for truth 

I call in my prayer 
It is simple and clear 
It wants me to give and receive love 

I call in the light 
To make everything right 
And show me the way to just be love
