When You Were Born, You Cried

I am the Song
I am the Sun
I am the Soil
I am the Seed
I am the Shadow
I am the Longing
I am the Darkness
I am the Need

Two or more are gathered now
and here we Be
Two or more are gathered now
and so we See

song + lyrics + vocals: Lyndsey Scott 
production, harmonies, instrumentation: Michael Linder

I Am the Song

A three-part chant celebrating the gifts of the darkness.  Lyrics:  Every time I go into the darkness, I return with fistfuls of jewels.  Midnight velvet wraps all around me; stars glitter brilliant above.
Dreaming darkness, dreaming light.  @ Big Bug Music.

Forget Your Perfect Offering

Sophia Efthimiou's Album

Deep into the earth I go - Tarisha

An original 5-part polyphonic song that serves as a reminder to listen to life's subtle nods and not wait until the rug is pulled out from under us to make a change... This song has also become somewhat of an anthem for environmentalists and climate change.

Written and arranged by Britta Gudmunson, 2019.

Let Us See the Beauty

Ancestor Song

Unequivocally one of my all-time favorite songs, this beauty has been adapted from the poem, "Call Me By My True Names" by Thich Nhat Hanh. Despite my best sleuthing, I've never been able to find attribution for the melody, which I first heard from Yopi Jay (who doesn't know where it came from either.) Another, professionally recorded and beautiful version of this song is on my album, Nightsong. https://thebirdsings.com/nightsong

Original words by Thich Nhat Hanh. Music composer unknown. Arranged for Wholehearted Chorus by Lisa G. Littlebird.

Guitar and vocals on this recording by Lisa G. Littlebird. Individual parts tracks coming soon!

Part I
What if what we are doing right now
Ripples out beyond what the eye can see?

Part II
What is this step a part of that's bigger than me?
Bigger than me, bigger than me

Part III
What is happening through me?
Happening, happening, happening through me?

Humbly
