Song for my forefathers (original version)

Toad Lick

This song was written on a cold winter night after waking up from a fever dream in a cold sweat with one word etched in my mind's eye after a mysterious and auspicious vision of something calling from the depths of Manchu Picchu: VIRACOCHA 

Written and performed by Dustin Thomas.
Flute and percussion and additional production by Mark Murphy.


VIRACOCHA

Original Track by Trevor Hall (Chapter of the Forest)

A note about the song by singer Danny Musengo.

-Last year around this time I was talking to my therapist about a cartoon I saw as a kid, The Grasshopper and The Ant.

Even as a child I worried I was the grasshopper... playing music and gallivanting about while the ants prepared for the long winter ahead.

I explained to my therapist that I had just split with my girlfriend, left my apartment, left my job and to top it off... I had given up the one thing that kept my lifelong existential crisis at bay... alcohol. The long winter had indeed come and I was feeling more and more like the grasshopper in the story.

My therapist just looked at me knowingly and asked "Have you ever watched the cartoon until the end?" I hadn't.

"...the ants realize their lives are dull without the grasshopper and his music... so they invite him in to play for them."

This was both a relief and a revelation.

Later that night Dave and I were in the backyard taking a smoke break from a frustrating recording session. We sat silently staring at the stars for some time before Dave suggested that we put away the song we were working on and write a new one. It was 3am.

We got up and walked back down into the studio. Dave sat at the Rhodes, pressed record and started playing the giant chords you hear at the beginning of the track.

They reminded me of the story from my therapy session.

I approached the mic and started to sing.

The whole song came out in one long breath. No edits. No doubling back.

Just one clear cut message from God to the grasshopper.

Assuring him...
Thing are changing ... for the better this time 😉

Big love to Slava "Mindex" who helped with some production and mixing on this one!

Welcome In

Erica Shapiro is an intuitive vocalist who uses her voice to heal & celebrate life. As a young girl, she held her voice close and only shared it with a select few. As she grew up, she recognized the power in singing and the sense of belonging that it brings us all. Erica has had the honor of being spontaneously invited to sing at several different transformational music festivals such as Lightening in A Bottle, Enchanted Forest, and the Global Eclipse Festival. She is most joyous when she is creating songs on the spot in collaboration with other musicians. Erica hopes that her voice and the message she delivers brings those who listen a sense of peace & gratitude for being alive.
