Pilgrim, Enya, My Version

If I Could Be Where You Are (by Enya)

Music In Your Step

Yippie yeah! the first track from my new album "Diosana"

Diosana

Spirit

A downbeat song. A few Nick drake inspired chord changes.

Unravel the Moonlight
Unfollow the day 
Recover the sunlight
It's showing the way

You'll spend the whole time alone, alone
You'll bring the whole world home, today. 

Words undone together 
Lives falling apart 
Keep fighting the moment 
Go back to the start.

You'll spend the whole time alone, alone
You'll bring the whole world home, today. 

Written and performed by Wes Martin

Recover The Sunlight

Mother Of Souls (FULL ALBUM) Estas Tonne

One look at love and you may see
It weaves a web over mystery,
All ravelled threads can rend apart
For hope has a place in the lover's heart.

Look to love you may dream,
And if it should leave then give it wings.
But if such a love is meant to be;
Hope is home, and the heart is free...

Hope Has a Place

Do it all (for you)

After a wonderful week at work with some really lovely people - instructing and hosting a winter skills course in Glencoe for Mountain Magic, a magical client called Mylene sent me a track called 'October' by Icarus. It inspired me to make a mix with it... 

Looking for another track in a harmonically compatible key, I noticed 'Mountain Top' by Danny Darko, featuring Alisha Jade. That's the track I thought of when you contacted your mum from the mountain top Mylene. There you were, on top of a huge life experience whilst your mum was wondering what all the fuss was about and showing you the epic sights of the living room back at home. The lyrics fit rather well…

"Now I'm standing on the mountain top, wondering how I got this far
You have no idea what this means"

The mix just had to start with 'Mountain Top' but it's much slower than 'October, so how to get from one to the other whilst moving in harmony and gradually increasing the tempo? 

The story goes like this…

Fun Lovin' Criminals join us on the mountain top with 'Come Find Yourself'. There's so much soul searching that goes on in mountain adventures and so many deep connections are formed in the process. It flows well from the deep lyrics in 'Mountain Top' too.

Then comes 'En Focus' by Quantic and Trinidad. Fittingly French and show-casing the focus we need in the mountains, in life and in the middle of the mix. Mylene, maybe you can help us out with the lyrics? Staying with the French theme, Gotan Project come in with their 'Last Tango in Paris'.

Then from Paris to the UK, Goldie brings light, depth, warmth and positivity with 'State of Mind'…

"I realize the state of mind where you have found me
I've turned the page and rearranged the cards that life has dealt me
I've played the game and felt the pain but I am stronger now
I feel warm rain runnin' down my face
I embrace all the love that lies around me
I feel no shame, nothing to erase
I wouldn't change a single day that lies before me"

Then Chicane go big on the beautiful with the 'Low Sun' that gives the magical rainbow colours in the snow crystals, and Nightmares On Wax brings the company with the lyric "I wanna be with you." Before, during and afterwards, mountains mean so much more when we can share them.

Sometimes, mountains can be exhausting or terrifying and I've noticed some old hard-times coming back to teach me something recently too. For when times are hard, Faithless soothe us with 'Everything Will Be Alright Tomorrow'…

"Should you hear somebody cry
The end is nigh
Don't you buy that line
Tomorrow's always yesterday 
Love's yet to have its day and you've got all the time
Child it won't be long
Keep keeping up
Everything will be alright tomorrow
Hey you yeah you don't let it get to you
Stressing you 
It's what they want you to do 
Smile a while even though it hurts 
Come on let them know there'll be no breaking you
Love's gonna come around again"

It was inspiring to see you keep smiling when it hurt Mylene, and wonderful to see all of you being so kind and patient when Mylene couldn't keep up with your speedy pace.

8 tunes down the trail, we find ourselves keeping up with the warm and soulful sounds of 'October', flowing into the gorgeous piano and deep bass of 'Trailblazer' by Nora En Pure and dancing into the joyful piano, uplifting strings and playful percussion of 'Soulmatic' by Purple Disco Machine.

Staying with the deep house theme set by 'October', Ben Bohmer brings whoops and warm vibrations with 'After Earth', and EDX comes in with a sunrise remix from Ibiza. That one's for you James and Abby. I'm not sure about the name 'Roadkill' but the happy, bouncy beats more than make up for it.

Coming into land, Joey Negro needs no explanation with a bangin' remix of 'Straight From The Heart' by Loose Change, and we touch down gently with the beautiful piano and vocal of MuyÃ¨, by &ME, Rampa, Adam Port and Keinemusik.

It's been such a pleasure. Big love y'all! :)
