'The Calling'

Calling, its been calling so long, so long
Calling, its been calling so long, so long
And it winds around and through 'till I come to
and wonder who the song is from
and its been calling so long
its been calling so long

AAAA-EEE--III--OOO
AAAA-EEE--III--OOO
AAAA-EEE--III--OOO
Remember the song
'Cause it's been calling so long

Walking, I been walking so long, so long
Walking, I been walking so long, so long
As I find out all the moves to go along
I wonder who's steps I am on
and I been walking so long
I been walking so long

lyrics:

Oh you don’t wanna go, then you do, then you don't 
but you know you’re only halfway home
and you don't want to loose your way or be alone
There's a revolution, revolution, revolution in the air
And it’s not like they said 
It's not in your head
It's a something that can't be said 
And it's written on the hearts of the dead

There's a revolution, revolution, revolution in the air
If you go, go, go out by day-o
And if you go, go out by day
When you know, know, you know the way-o
Then go by day, go out by day

And it pulls and it tightens, 
it whispers of right and then wrong
And it calls and it frightens it’s been there inside for so long

There’s a revolution, there’s a revolution everywhere

If you go, go, go out by day-o
And if you go, go out by day
When you know, know, you know the way-o
Then go by day, go out by day








Out by Day

lyrics:

Through the wind and the rain in latter days she came
She came for the honey and the land
Through the din and the rage, through the clatter and the pain
She came and she bloodied both her hands
Is there a way to be free when you have to die?
Is there a way to the sea from across the sky?

She holds me, she holds me, she holds me
to her deep, dark breast
She holds me, she holds me, she holds me
like the night itself

On the wings of the raven, and shadows of the sacred
she sings and she shudders her commands
On the sins of the saints, and the crackle of the flames
she spins at the turning of the dance

And I cry, I cry. . . 

She holds me, she holds me, she holds me
to her deep, dark breast
She holds me, she holds me, she holds me
like the night itself
and I know she’s the only one for me

She holds me, she holds me, she holds me
to her deep, dark breast
She holds me, she holds me, she holds me
like the night itself
and I know she’s the only one for me.

Oh I know she’s the only, only one for me
Cause she knows the ways of my soul,
and she knows the way to my home, to my home
Oh I know she’s the only one for me
Only one for me

lyrics:

OOOohhh, oooh  now you know what you wanna know, now you go where you wanna go
OOoohhh, now that you do
how will you see what you wanna see, what will you ask of the light in me?
What would you say if it called you away, and it hurt to go back to your home?

Far in the ancient future I wait for you, and hold a light out in the dark
Past time and place I know we will make it through
the stars remember now is all we are

EEEeeeee you have the key, but who will I be when I get back through
from in between and inside of you
If time is only a rhyme, I would know your love is true
you'd be the one that I always knew
But how will I wait through the nights and the days, just to hold you again in my arms?

Far in the ancient future you wait for me, and hold a light out in the dark
Past time and place I know there's a way to see
The stars remember now is all we are


Ancient Future

Music and Lyrics by Kai Altair

Recorded at Sharmaji Studios, Brooklyn
Mastered by Shane The Cutter at Finyl Tweek, London

lyrics:
Even if the light should fade, even if the lightning strikes
Even if the sun should never shine, my love, my love we have tonight
If you want to call me home, if you want to see my eyes
If you want to take me, and make me your own, my love, my love we have tonight
I would draw down the Moon for you
If I could only see you tonight
I would draw down the Moon for you
if you call, I would draw down the Moon

Find me in an orchard sweet, kneel beneath the sacred trees
Fall upon the earth and all her memory, my love, my love is yours to see
Whisper words of deep desire, call me by a secret name
Lay me in the light, and offer everything, my love, all my love is yours to claim

I would draw down the Moon for you
If I could only see you tonight
I would draw down the Moon for you
if you call, I would draw down the Moon


Draw Down The Moon

Here she comes through the mist
Here she comes through the night
And you can tell by the way she smiles, she's on fire
And what are you gonna do, what are you gonna do with your mind?

Over in the meadow she will keep you from your sleep
Over where the sea turns to stars
Over by the window underneath the silver moon
She will teach you all her mystic charms
And here she comes

You were lost, now you're found
Locked away underground
But she can tell by the way you sigh, you'll be fine
And what are you gonna do, what are you gonna do with your time?

Here She Comes

There's a hole in my soul that's lost at sea
And I don't know where to go, or how to be
I could never take my heart from thee
You're in my wine, you're in my blood, you're all I weep

Oh Mamma Ocean, Oh Mamma Ocean, Oh Mamma Ocean
Mamma Oceana, Ocean
Mamma Oceana, Ocean

I try to walk, I try to talk, I try to swim
And you don't know what I have done, and where I've been
I can never find my way back in
So far apart from where you are, from all I am

Oh Mamma Ocean, Oh Mamma Ocean, Oh Mamma Ocean
Mamma Oceana, Ocean
Mamma Oceana, Ocean

But I come from you, and I go back to you
Come, come, come from you, and I go back to you

Oh Mamma Ocean, Oh Mamma Ocean, Oh Mamma Ocean
Mamma Oceana, Ocean
Mamma Oceana, Ocean

A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes

Kiss me under the willow
Keep me under you pillow
Come on baby, you know I should go
But I'm so hazy, I can't get to the door

Aaaaaooooooooowwww....

Make me undo my halo
Take me some place only you go
Come on baby, baby, you know I should go
But I'm so hazy, I can't even say no

Aaaaaooooooooowwww......

And I feel like there's something chasin' me now Aaaoooww....
And I feel like you're throwin' chains around me AAoooow....

Aaaaaooooooooowwww....

Howl

Kai Altair is a songwriter, producer, and DJ with a deep reverence for movement, rhythm, and spiritual exploration. Her musical project is Aazav created with her partner Haj i Ji. Drawing inspiration from mystical traditions, nature's rhythms, and cosmic energies--Kai's original music & DJ sets are a journey into realms of worldly organica, sensual bass, big boom, and astral wubs. 

Aazav emerges from Kai & Haj's shared passion for music that animates both body and soul. Drawing from ancestral vocal traditions and deep woods sensibilities, their sound is a convergence of medicine melodies and global organica—a call to the central fire of remembered futures. Their debut album, "The Looking Stone," garnered support with stellar remixes from collaborators like David Starfire, Govinda, Kaminanda, Drumspyder, and Living Light.



Currently crafting a dancefloor-focused EP with gifted collaborators, they also host SYNERGY Ecstatic Dance & SANCTUM, an intentional temple space gathering at Soft Medicine in Sebastopol, California.

Join Aazav in the communal sacrament of rhythm and the natural rite of dance.
