Great one. Just a bit too short. BTW the emphasis of jardim lies on the second  syllable. It's a long English e  so  djadeem 

transportive! brilliant, my friend. A beautiful journey to an idyllic place, perriwinkle toe nail polish for the win! :).

😭😭😭, Haven’t even reached the other tracks yet, Collab inspired, Spoken word. Solid work, Words weigh with ears of intent of enlightenment. 🌞🫰💯😇

digging back thru the archives here... lol. I probably mentioned it before, but your singing reminds me of Tori Amos. Thanks for the description of this song - what a wonderful place, and your lyrics do it justice! the music here also has an almost 'old Europe' feel to it, especially that acoustic guitar/harp instrument (keyboard). Really nice work here Kate!

Berklee Music Wellness Assignment #1: Create Your Song.
Written, Performed, and Produced by Kate Stanton 4-17-21

This song is about a beautiful place called Garden by the Sea in Madeira, Portugal. I learned about it on my work desktop's Windows 10 'Spotlight Image' login page (I included the exact image as the thumbnail). I was so inspired by the photo, that I wrote a Hallmark movie-style storyline of a writer leaving it all behind and starting over somewhere new. My intention is to leave listeners feeling inspired about their dreams. I added some ballet, acrobatics/gymnastics, and jazz-inspired dance moves for additional musical elements which I will later choreograph for a YouTube video. Lastly, I recorded this song using GarageBand and will share via SoundCloud for peer-review on the discussion board.

Lyrics:
In my mind's eye
In another life
I can see the waves crest 
at 8 meters high
I'll learn how to surf
You will spend your days
reading Leo Tolstoy
next to the fire
I'll learn the language
and sing in the circles
of people who care
we laugh and we cheer
You'll watch for whales
as I look to the sky
My toes painted periwinkle blue

I'm falling for you hard, Jardim do Mar.
I'm falling for you hard, Jardim do Mar.

Garden by the sea
I dream that we're free
I can smell the sea breeze
upon awakening
sunshine on my face
smiling for days
as we watch our grand babies dance
we bottle their laughter
and teach them to sing
no deficits here
we laugh and we cheer
you walked her down the aisle
I helped with her dreams
her doe eyes sparkling only for you...

We've fallen for you hard, Jardim do Mar
We've fallen for you hard, Jardim do Mar.

Jardim do Mar
