What a lovely seed was sown with this song as both the beginning point of our little summer epic, and deeply moving ending as well. It's hard for me to hear this song without tears welling up. Peter's lyrics, vocals, and Oddrun's angelic singing as if she were Mary herself, moves me in profound and hopeful ways. Thank you dear Seagull for your beautiful composition and steady hand at the controls.

It's exceptional once again .... Everyone's participation gives this ensemble the nuances that you have undoubtedly nurtured for a long time .... There's always a great deal of realism in this production, and I'd like to pay tribute to the performances of everyone, each of whom, in his or her own particular field, has agreed to unite under your baguette ....  Bravo Maitre!

A beautiful musical sweetness that you propose here ....  A great deal of delicacy in the expression that everyone knows so well how to put into equation ....

Here's to hope (and to sounds like these to inspire it!)

Thank you for this beautiful piece of hope! We can all do well to remember "we solve most things if we talk". A beautiful project and tapestry! These kinds of projects don't happen by accident. They take effort from everyone involved! Thank you, all.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, dear Seagull, David and Petter, for letting me take part in a journey of Hope.

This tune is a heartfelt journey, where the acoustic guitar and the sweet vocals weave a melody of intimacy and understanding. Each note and word captures the magic of resolving life's complexities through the simple beauty of sincere communication.❤️

A wonderful and uplifting song, so refreshing to listen to... in conjunction with your other songs on the... A Shared Horizon Album. There's a cool little book by David Bohm: On Dialog, where he proposes dialogue is a process through which a group of individuals can develop and share meaning together. A step by step guide.

Is there a future for all of humanity? Or have we passed the breaking point. Everyone is looking for light, joy, a clean and beautiful planet, etc. And to be content. Is it possible, and will we reach this beautiful shiny dream world, or are we a dying breed?

We Solve Most Things If We Talk

Summer rain finds my face, splashing through my smile
Thunder rumbles fall away, storm is phasing through
Peace of mind is on the case, misery is in denial,
Yesterday’s squally day, tomorrow’s skies are azure blue.

Dreams of history’s tension gladly start to ease
Gripping claws of lunacy finally shun the past
Seems things turned out badly for hunger and disease
Slipping towards unity, laying down the guns at last.

Call my neighbour as my friend, our meanings line as one
Colour, gods and politics accepted as they are
Mutualities to defend no conflict clouds our shining sun
Consideration and respect, a communal repertoire

Mother Mary called today
Handed me a flower stalk
Kissed my worries clean away
We solve most things if we talk.

Need as might we understand equality’s a bed of lies
Celebrate uniqueness as a cast of human thread
Day and night, hand in hand, no polity compromise
Learning from our weakness past, focused on the light ahead.

Mother Mary spoke today
Led me on a learning walk
Eased my troubles on the way
We solve most things if we talk.

Mother Mary sang today
Left me with a simple thought
The wisest heads will simply say
We solve most things if we talk.
