As lock down continued, across the world it was the same story, empty streets, vacant playgrounds, people locked behind glass, withheld from human touch,  longing for your life to get back to some normality. This song and the official video share a collection of imagery that captured some of the  inner reflections that were stirred while facing oneself during this period of isolation.
From the album Never Letting Go (2021).

Never Letting Go

The song is from the album of the same name, which is filled with selection of instrumental songs that were inspired by my years traveling to Crete....from the mountains and sea to the live sessions with locals at a friend's Taverna on the sea front, with food and free flowing drinks...😅..featured instruments; Cretan Lauoto, Outi and Madura, guitar, Native American flute and voice,.

2. At Sunset

Instill a sense of peace within me as your gentle sounds flow through my spirit. You are the giver of life, the eternal source in all things…... rejuvenate my essence with your nurturing energy… and when I drink of your fountain….heal my body and mind with your grace.

Earth to Sky -new album December 2022
Following the successful release of the the album Never Letting Go in 2021, this new recording entitled,  Earth to Sky, is a collection of pieces that features Native American flutes, recorded over many years both in Canada and the UK. They were inspired by the beauty of this world we share and our connection with the land, the sea, the sky & the air… from gentle strolls along many sea shores, to countless walks in the woods in my homeland of Canada as well those from the ancient forests in Britain. It has been a personal inward journey for me and I hope the listener can experience the meditative spirit and healing energy within the music...dd
I am Quiet, I am still. I am within myself and without. I am connected to all things above and below…inside me. I feel part of the eternal flow. I look in all directions and see the earth and sky fused as one on the distant horizon, bound together endlessly throughout time. It is said in Native American beliefs that the Great Spirit first created Father Sky and Mother Earth, from whence springs the seed of all living things. We are all connected within this cycle of nature, born and nurtured by the Earth, energised with light from the sky, breathing in the air of life, drinking from the healing waters and then at the end, we return to the source.

“He has a chameleon voice, sometimes rough and husky, sometimes sweet and clear. There are fleeting glimpses of Dylan and Paul Simon in his delivery; his voice is strong and true, capable of passion and drama as well as gentleness.” Folking.com
“The latest album is a beautiful mix of soothing vocals, meaningful lyrics and peaceful guitar work. DeCicco’s voice is exceptional" Maverick Magazine.
"This collection of inspirational and eloquent songs is consistently high class from start to finish; this should carry Domenic a long, long way.” The Musician magazine
