Something deep within you is awakening
Let it wake

Something Deep Within You

Roadblock  by Debbie Nargi-Brown

Part 1 
This is a roadblock, not the end of the road
When I get knocked down, I get back up again

Part 2
I don’t care what you’ve been told
Now is the time to take back control
This is not the end of your dreams
Life is not, what it seems

Part 3
Faith, Hope to Believe
Faith, Hope to Receive

This is a live recording at Song Village 2022.

Roadblock

This is a practice track for an upcoming retreat.
Hope   by Debbie Nargi-Brown

"Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the Soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all" Emily Dickinson

Never, never never, never, never, never, never, never. never
Never give up, on hope

Hope is living in my Soul

HOPE

It's okay if you're not okay
It's okay if you're not okay
You're loved darling, any way
It's gonna be okay

It’s Okay

Sung by our Twin Cities based comfort choir, The Morning Star Singers.  This song was created for a friend whose daughter was experiencing a life-threatening health crisis following the birth of her first child.  Happily everyone pulled through.  Here's the strange part -- my beloved friend Jack Heckelman used the phrase "unexpected joy" a great deal during his conscious dying process.  I didn't have any recollection of that when I wrote the song.  I think he was dictating that line from the other world....

Surrounding You

This gorgeous melody from Jennifer Levenhagen was further beautified by Annie Zylstra who added the polyphonic harmonies, making this an ethereal gem, and a bit more challenging to sing than others in current oral tradition repertoire.

Original song copyright Jennifer Levenhagen, arrangement by Annie Zylstra. Recorded here by Lisa G. Littlebird for Wholehearted Chorus.

Most Beautiful Sky by Jennifer Levenhagen and Annie Zylstra

The ethereal voices of Yala Lati meet the colorful voice of Heather Houston for a rainbow of sonic delight! Calling you home to the sacred circle of sisterhood, this album is a symphony for the innermost tendrils of the heart. 

We are sisters of the moon 
And daughters of the sun
We are mothers of the world
Our voices they are one
We are lovers of the earth 
and guardians of the land
We are weavers of the dream 
Together we are standing

Sisters of the Moon

05 - Tending the Spark

Oh Debbie Nargi-Brown has done it again. Sharing this song in community holds transformative powers... I find again and again Debbie's songwriting has a particular knack for validating and embracing our shadows while still luring us back into the light. This was a joy to record with Debbie and my Wholehearted Chorus in January, 2020. Enjoy!

Oh Grief, Oh Joy by Debbie Nargi-Brown

Another powerfully infectious and uplifting song from the great Melanie DeMore. This one speaks to not leaving anyone behind, with nods to two of the great leaders of racial justice, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King and Madiba (Nelson Mandela).  The chorus of this song by itself is a quick and easy teach, and the song grows in complexity and beauty by adding the two high harmony parts to the choruses as well as two verses and a bridge.

Original song copyright Melanie DeMore. Recorded by Melanie DeMore with Lisa G. Littlebird in February, 2020.

Put Back Together Again/I Will Let My Heart be Broken

Original song by Debbie Nargi-Brown inspired by a poem by Suzanne Morrow.The seeds of this song were planted at Song Village 2019. This is a live recording with the Wholehearted Chorus in Monterey, CA
Lyrics: 
Oh Grief  Oh Joy
Held in the very rhythm of my beating heart
Oh Grief  Oh Joy
May you come together so I don't fall apart

Breathe In   Breathe Out
Gather your Strength
Breathe In   Breathe Out
Remove all Doubt

You are Held, You are Held, You are Held
Surrounded, Grounded (by Love)

Dig down into your roots
That's where is all begins
Reach up into the stars
Embrace all that you are

HOPE

Debbie Nargi-Brown
