SOTLW 35 Salt In The Air (Jazz Version) - Laura Brearley - Songs Of The Living World

'Everyone is Welcome' is a celebration of shared community spaces. It is quick and easy to learn and is underpinned by a samba reggae percussion beat called a Boogie. 

I have written the song to accompany a parade celebrating the opening of a new cultural centre in Cowes, Millowl (Phillip Island). Thanks to Mark Grunden for the recording of the Boogie which he led at the Mallacoota Easter Festival 2023. Thanks also to Mal Webb for his trumpets, bass and mix of this demo track. 

The song has broad applicability and is suitable for all occasions where inclusive community spaces are being honoured and celebrated. 

The basic drum beat which underpins it is:
 Kookaburra Owl Magpie Owl. 
It's in the key of C and the ukulele chords are:
 C5    Csus4    C     Fadd9       G 

Here are the lyrics .... 

Blessings on this place
Gather in this meeting space
Every season, every year
Everyone is welcome here

Blessings on this place
Work and play around this space
Every season, every year
Everyone is welcome here

Blessings on this place
Song and dance flow through this space
Every season, every year
Everyone is welcome here

The APRA AMCOS Work Identification Number is GW67221708

Everyone is Welcome

This song has been written for the Eco Arts project 'Across the Waters' and is to inspire environmental stewardship with 
a focus on the protection of Westernport (Warn Marin),
the Ramsar site within it and the Woodlands adjoining it.

Laura Brearley
