"Water She Dances" with Rising Appalachia

Dustin Thomas - Be Love

This track was born into the world through a moment of sheer ecstatic joy. It was my birthday, I walked downtown santa cruz and stumbled upon Singing Wood Marimba playing epically booty-dancing music that uplifted my spirits as nothing else ever has. I bough their cd and continuously wept whenever i heard one of the tracks, 'Tenda'. I experimented with a little of the looping style and chord progression from that track and used a vocal looper to create this song. I had the great honor of sharing this story with them, and inviting them to play on this track. 

Unstoppable Joy for me is an infectious way to live life ad posture the heart no matter what. It is an ongoing meditation and co-creation. I dedicate this song to my beloved friend, muse and collaborator Binah Zing, who loved this song and believed in its capacity to spread light and joy with the people. May we all rise and dance together in the freedom of our truest pure joy.
lyrics
I wonder what might happen 
if all the beings in all the worlds 
were free from suffering and without desire 
and burst into unstoppable joy 
I wonder what might happen 
if all the stars in all the skies 
were strung together with a common thread 
and shone together in common light 
the light of love 

I am that I am that I am Love, Unstoppable Love 
I am that I am that I am Light, Un-fade-able Light 
I am that I am that I am Joy, Unstoppable Joy 
I am that I am that I am that I am, 
Unstoppable Joy 

I wonder what might happen 
If all the eyes began to see 
the mystery of love unfolding 
in the perfection of you and me 
I wonder what might happen 
if all the hearts that felt the pulse 
would dance together in the rhythm of one song 
and sing united as one voice 
the voice of love 

I am that I am that I am Love, Ustoppable Love 
I am that I am that I am Light, Un-fade-able Light 
I am that I am that I am Joy, Unstoppable Joy 
I am that I am that I am that I am, 
Unstoppable Joy

Marya Stark ~ Unstoppable Joy

C,G/B, Am, G, F
Unconditional is a new word for me 
People take time to get to know each other 
Then they fall in love 
I can count on one hand all of the people that I love
I don’t have many friends but the ones I have are more than enough  

Am, G, F
Community that supports someone running away from her cowardice 
I’m so lonely 
So come with me 

C,G/B, Am, G, F
To gather round 
Let’s go to the tree 
Let’s rely on being there for thee 
Then come with me 
Pro silence by the sunshine 
Walk 
To gather round 
Let’s see the rays you and me 
We can make new memories 
Forever 
If we give it a chance 
I’d take a grenade for you 
Unconditionally

i seem to be a verb,
an evolutionary process -
an integral function of the universe.'
