I wrote this song on the piano I stumbled upon,
In the middle of a field at “The Secret Garden Festival”,
To my surprise I saw a Passerby selling one last pair of slipper, 
With perfect fit I walked on up by,
like ‘Dorothy’ on a path 
that led me the piano where I wrote 
“Reason Why”

So I thank that passerby for being there at that time, and the man who had filmed as I stood there singing at the piano. 
These are moments that live on to cherish forever.

I kept the song locked stay, safe inside, protected in my heart...
Until 2020 when the world went dark.
In lockdown I was led back to a field once again,
To set it free and open my heart
To each and every passerby 
To remind us that love is all around,
To awaken love in the world again,
To touch hearts with hope
And connect is all with love.

So as you pass by my page today I hope this song leaves you to with love and comfort.

Ilana Lorraine - Deeper Love (Demo)

"The Reason Why" was written in the Summer of 2014 at The Secret Garden Party ...
As the festival came to an end and i made my way back to my tent i stumbled across a random piano in the middle of an open field... 
I LOVE things like that!!! 
Feeling inspired, I sat there with a good friend of mine, Taly, and just played...
Chords, a melody and words just came to me and kept going round and round in my head "Oh My Babe Soul....". but typically (as all festival goers can empathise), I had no battery on my phone and therefore no way to record the idea ... it was almost serendipity that a passerby was listening and had recorded the whole time I was singing without me knowing 
I call that fate!
So here it is .... with the help of and thanks to:
Raz Daveed - Additional Lyric Writing 
Mo Pleasure - Keys & String Arrangement
Guy Jackson - Additional strings, Vocal recording and Mix Production.
Irene Ortega Albaladejo - Cello
The song was born...

Songbird ILana Lorraine, An Artist/Songwriter/Producer and Community leader who began songwriting at 10 years old and kept her musical talent hidden as she built her career within the Music and Entertainment Industry helping other talent and bringing people together. 
Now with 20 years experience that kicked off at Sony Music,  Ilana chose to take the DIY independent root, crowdfunding her debut album My Little Tree and later gaining support from the Arts Council UK to produce  her own initiatives to inspire others to find their own artist way. 
From handmade album covers, organising  intimate pop up gigs, Flashmobs & public showcases Ilana founded  communities, gathering people together through her music and events.

Ilana curated successful tribute events for Michael Jackson on the MTV EMA’s, for Amy Winehouse and Prince;
'She's brought together seasoned and fresh musicians from around the world at Sessions58 and Tea n’ Jam, including performances by Eartha Kitt, Beverley Knight and The Roots.

Ilana then went on to create her own Artist Retreat and Development Consultancy  “The Coach House” to help other talent find their artist way.

She’s been a Guardian of Bespoke, Historic Homes; a Promoter of Iconic, Global Music Careers; a Curator of the Fairytale in Hampstead Heath during Lockdown Times, and now she is back to make yet another dream a reality. 

Ilana’s music is hauntingly beautiful. It stirs the soul, the mind, and plucks ever so gently at the heartstrings. Her transformative lyrics and soulful voice awaken the senses, provide hope and evoke courage.

Her internal voice optimistic and determined to keep love alive, a prayer to encourage hope, an inner mantra to awaken her heart, and a calling to have self-love and find strength.

Ilana’s singing voice and songs became a mantra and call out to passersby as she sang overlooking a lake in her lockdown initiative “The Fairytale” to keep music alive and bring serenity to the public in the Summer of 2020. It bloomed into a safe haven for the local community in  London infamous Hampstead Heath and got imprinted and recorded in history when it got written as a full chapter in the book The Heath, written by The Beatles Biographer Hunter Davis and published last year.

Harmon International, Waves Audio and the British Arts Council have recognised her as an authentic guiding light as her work, her support, her guidance - has touched so many over the years. Ilana is more than a producer, a promoter, a songwriter, a vocalist and an artist. She's a curator of dreams, a magical creator of communities an architect of making anything possible!.
