My version of Wildlight's "Oh Love" with the amazingly gorgeous vocals of Ayla Nereo.

Hers Was as Thunder (Remixes)

Name Your Price!

Wildlight - Oh Love (Ryan Herr Remix)

"Wider Circles" is the newest album from Rising Appalachia. With influences of folk, soul, roots, world music, and poetry, the album showcases the alchemy of sibling harmonies paired with banjo and fiddle duets. The album was inspired by folk standards and traditional hymns, old mountain odes, and activist anthems that pull equally from the swampy sounds of the bayou, the twang of the Appalachian mountains, and the beat of a global rhythm.

Never too Late
copyright Amae Love 2016 all rights resereved

coulda shoudla woulda, never did help me
i've cried i've denied but now i'm just tryin' to get healthy
my mind drive me crazy thinkin' of all that i could've done
what could have been waiting back when i was eighteen or twenty one

my voice it breaks in my throat i won't sing a note 
till i give up my hold on my fear and surrender
i die to my lies i run to the cries from my soul to remember 
that it's now or never..
but it's never too late,
 to make a break
to shake that the weight off and fly
so i do it for love
i do it for all that is sacred to me
cuz it's never too late
to change your fate
to give your dreams a new life
and it's never too late
to late to try

this life had seemed to through my fingers like grains of sand
got me lost in a dream till i finally woke up to who i am
there's so many talented people who never do get their shot
so there's no way that i'm gonna to give up till i give it all i've got

opportunities passed, that may never come back
did i step off my path, and get lost in confusion?
there's no way to know, now its time to let go,
just get on with the show and burn down the illusion

that it's ever too late to make a break
to shake that weight off and fly
so i do it for love
i do it for all that is sacred to me
cuz it's never too late
to change your fate
to give your dreams a new life
never too late
to late to try

well i'm tired of excuses, i've got only myself to blame
the truth is so elusive its useless, losing at my own game
still i get frustrated sometimes when i get caught up in my mind
i was born to be creative all i gotta do is let in the light 
and shine and shine and shine.....
and SHINE!
cuz it's never too, never too, never too late

never too late to make a break
to shake that weight off and fly
so just do it for love
do it for all that is sacred to you
cuz it's never too late
to change your fate
to give your dreams a new life
never too late
to late to FLY!!
oh no no no.....

This is remix is an ode to all those hurt by the prison industrial system of the United States, and is dedicated towards transforming the "eye for an eye" retributive justice model towards a restorative justice model - one that strengthens, rather than fractures, communities. 

This remix is based off of two recordings: Rising Appalachia's "Spirit's Cradle" and a reading by the great, late poet Etheridge Knight. "Apology for Apostasy" was one of many poems that Knight wrote while incarcerated, which were originally published in the collection "Poems from Prison." His poems bear witness to the resiliency of the creative spirit. Leah Song, of Rising Appalachia, has been a long time advocate of criminal justice reform and is involved in projects that bring yoga, song and mindfulness into prisons.

Spirit's Cradle

Permaculture principle 1: Observe and Interact - Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The beginning of the design process.
-------

"Charlie is spearheading a new and exciting form of musical activism. He is becoming one of the most important voices in a global cultural movement 
that began right here in Australia." 
- Harry Angus, The Cat Empire 

Permaculture: A Rhymer’s Manual from Western Australia's Formidable Vegetable is the first of its kind. An album of ethical, ecological edu-tainment designed to spread the word of sustainability without making you want to tie-dye your shirt or go out and buy a djembe.
Permaculture is basically a way to get ourselves out of habits of self-destruction and into one of abundance and prosperity.
After recognising a desperate need for people to stop talking about sustainability and start getting off their asses, WA permaculture troubadour Charlie Mgee grabbed his ukulele and came up with 12 songs covering each of the principles of permaculture from David Holmgren’s book, Permaculture: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability. 

With an all-star cast of Australian musicians including Mal Webb, Alex Burkoy (Tinpan Orange/Juila Stone), Michael Boase (Nicky Bomba’s Bustamento), Loren, Freya Hanly, prodigious 19-year old Harry Jakamarra from Broome on banjo and WA’s own 10 piece live electro-swing band Ensemble Formidable, the album is filled to the brim with tracks of truly grooveworthy proportions with styles ranging from ‘energy-descent electro-swing’ and ‘climate-change reggae’ to ‘peak-oil polka’.

In just three short months, Charlie Mgee has already busted out live shows of permaculture songs at internationally acclaimed festivals including Woodford Folk Festival (QLD), Eclipse 2012 (Cairns), Folk, Rhythm & Life and Rainbow Serpent (VIC) and has shared the stage with class-acts such as Nicky Bomba’s Butamento, Spoonbill and Fat Freddy’s Drop.

After a massive turnout to a follow-up permaculture workshop resulting from an especially cranking gig at Eclipse 2012 Festival, Charlie reflects on his ultimate goal for the project: 

“Right now, music is one of the most effective tools we have to communicate ideas on a mass scale and I think I’m really just starting to recognize the power that that can have with regards to introducing people to ideas on how to live more sustainably. I’ve had people that I wouldn’t have thought would be into sustainability in a million years come up to me going: “Man, this sounds awesome! I’m gonna check out this permaculture stuff!” It’s really reaffirming for what I’ve set out to do.”

With included info on the permaculture principles covered as well as chord charts and lyrics to learn the songs on ukulele, the album has been designed to achieve everything from permaculture teaching resource to ukulele lesson to general morning dance routine.

In a world gone hectic, now really is the time to start growing abundance everywhere, starting at the front door. While we’re at it, you might as well Lettuce Turnip the Beet!  (...that would be Rad-ish.)
