crevasse

Our societies,
cradle of traumas,
these tools to use us 
in infinite silence
heart of illusions
that makes sense
laught, laught
for ever
woods wombs
return
like smoke to sky
mist prayer
talking the ancient scarlet
about
wise scars
of wild volcano

Magma Memory

One of the first songs of the Svayam project, normally sang with just a guitar and a couple of tibetan bowls. The past year I felt like doing a version with drums and all I could :) 
Hope you enjoy

2020 was a good year for writing ...finding some old YouTube postings of mine

some trains won't leave
won't even start
though I put a thousand miles 
of rail beneath this heart
I’ve ridden hard, I've driven fast
But a part of me stayed at the station with my past
Some trains may leave,
but your memories still stuck back in town 

I hear that whistle blowin’, feel the wheels roll down the track 
But There’s a part of me… that won’t stop goin’ back
I never left your memories, still hear those sad goodbyes … 
Some trains won’t leave no matter how you try

Some Trains Don't leave (home demo)

When your troubles leave you weary...Lay your mind on flowers blue...
One’s that take you someplace...Where your dreams...they wait for you...
When you're just… too tired to bother…With the noise and all life's… toil...
Lay your head on those blue flowers…In those fields of quiet soil.

You can walk… yes, you can wander…But you can’t outrun … the truth…
You can’t live with all your troubles…But when you die…they’ll go with you…
Take just one moment…from your lifetime…Smell the roses…see the blooms
Lay your head …on those blue flowers…In the fields of quiet soil

Beneath that aging oak tree…  Where my grandpa’s laid to rest…                 
Grandma’s there beside him… Hear those robins in their nest
And the sun is shining down… Upon…waves of amber gold
Next to…flowers blue… In fields of quiet soil

Oh mother, how I miss you…Beneath these flowers… on your grave
I need to know…you’re waiting…For me…to come… someday…
When I’m  just too damn tired…to bother…With all this noise and all life’s… toil…
Then I’ll lie beneath blue flowers…In your fields of quiet soil

☼ 
 Music is one of multiple ways of living fully, being whole and complete, immersed on the vastness of the world. At each music note we can redeem something more from our essence, spread it, echo it, give, receive and be. Svayam is a moment of meditation guided by sound, and it’s offered as an opportunity to be who we really are, to take from the inside what escapes our instant and automatic sensibility. João Sousa guides this voyage - personal, but collective - with a guitar, voice and bowls.
Each body touched by sound is a moment of unique love,
an inexhaustible source of energy. To create with sound is to open doors to the earth, to touch the water, feel the air and transform with fire… For a moment we understand the act of creation, we are that moment, undulating in the ethereal, taking off from matter. Each time Svayam happens, we connect profoundly with humankind, with life, with the cosmos. Let us be all and nothing, here and now, everyone and none.
