"The foundation of Wild Sweet was born out of a loop pedal improv on a New Year's sunrise set at a small festival many years ago. But the song was fully written during our recording process together in Asheville. Each of us was tasked with bringing two original songs to record. While I had a few options of lullabies to bring, and even started recording 1 of them, I felt something else wanting to come through. Tina encouraged me to keep searching and in the wee midnight hours, I rediscovered this melody from the archives of my recordings. One of our songwriting prompts during our group mastermind had been ‘polishing an old gem’, so I dove into polishing this song seed. The lyrics came swiftly, inspired by the energy of being in the cocoon of staying at home during lockdown, as well as the cocoon of our songwriting immersion, and the magic of recording this album together. It was the final song to be written during this cycle of our collective song-catching journey and captures the essence of what we were gathering. Wild Sweet sings to the emergence of widened wings after a deep season of rest, just as humanity is re-emerging into a new season of becoming." ~ Ayla Nereo

Lyrics:
I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
I asked him where are you going
This he told me
"I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm 
I'm going to join in a rock 'n' roll band
I'm going to camp out on the land
I'm going to try an' get my soul free"

We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

Then can I walk beside you
I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel to be a cog in something turning
Well maybe it is just the time of year
Or maybe it's the time of man
I don't know who I am
But I know life is for learning

We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere there was song and a celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding shotgun in the sky
And they were turning into butterflies
Above our nation

We are stardust
Billion year old carbon
We are golden
Caught in the devil's bargain
And we've got to get ourselves
back to the garden

Woodstock ft. Barry Phillips (Joni Mitchell Cover)

how'd you get so far under my skin
i can feel you there listening
i can hear you lingering in my riddles of love
oh babe, its been years and years 
since i started writing this song
so if your passing through
id say it wasn’t really about you
if you stay with me longer than tonight
ill just write and write and write


i’ve been writing love poems to the stars
trying to spell, spell out my heart
never dream id hear them respond
oh but babe when you looked at me last night so fondly
I swear i could hear 
the song of a thousand lifetimes of fears
fall away to the fires i saw burning in your eyes
oh how long I've been chasing that sight


how'd you come to feel so much like home
like the place I've tried to find on my own
like the love I’ve been after with all these words
like the sound of the song in my heart 
I know in my heart that you heard
and if your passing through
id say it wasn’t really about you
but if you'd stay with me longer than tonight
there's no telling what we could write

and if your passing through
id say it wasn’t really about you
if you'd stay with me longer than tonight
oh baby what could we write

Under My Skin

i miss the stars
dripping thick like honey
from your heart
your dark light beating brightly
in the night
ancient stores of passion
dropping sudden wild confessions
in a breaking open fashion

i miss the long nights
where we’d dream right through each others devastation
miss the prayers we'd say, to bear the wieght of all this crazy making
miss the blissful shaking heartfelt stake we’d claim for making
love until the dawn

i miss the stars
dripping thick like honey
from your heart
your dark light beating brightly
in the night
ancient stores of passion
dropping sudden wild confessions
in a breaking open fashion

I miss the silk-ness in your voice
whispering through dissenting choices
miss the curious way you’d say my name
on windless flames and
seeing through the architecture’s
bold conjecture, sometimes less is more
when making out like bandits in the goldmine
of songs before time

i miss the stars
dripping thick like honey
from your heart
your dark light beating brightly
in the night
ancient stores of passion
dropping sudden wild confessions
in a breaking open fashion

for life how you breathe into me
sing of this mystery through
my listening feeling taking
over every moment
waiting for your next move
swell pushing comes rushing to
crash over everything
and leave me weightless

Among the stars….

Weightless

Hip-notic urban World beat  roots fusion
with Maternal Soul.... from the 2013 Album, Purify.  This song is about my love for the southwest desert, where I lived for years.  There are strong djembe rhythms and solos, I am freestyling vocals overtop, and there is some sweet elec. tamboura throughout to give it a real word music fusion feel.  Back up vocals feature Diane Patterson.

Remember, Remember just who you are 
Remember, you’re made up of stars 
Remember, remember the wisdom within 
Remember, all the joy you can bring
Remember, remember you’re of this earth
Remember, all that you are worth
Remember, remember all that you know
Remember, seeds take time to grow
Remember, remember, remember
Remember all that you all
Remember the power, the power of love

Ou oh ou oh ou oh yeah yeah yeah
Ou oh ou oh ou oh yeah yeah yeah
Ou oh ou oh ou oh yeah yeah 

All my worries and my regrets
All the things I haven’t done yet
I let it go I let it go I let it go I let it go

All the things that people say
When things aren’t going my way
I let it go i let it go i let it go i let it go

Cause I know that sometimes
I’ve got to take a step back
And remind myself
That its all a state of mind 

And I love and accept myself exactly as I am in the present moment
Yes I love and accept myself exactly as I am in the present moment
Because I am as I am 
Yes I am as I am 

Repeat all 

I love and accept myself exactly as I am in the present moment 
Yes I love and accept myself exactly as I am in the present moment 
Because I am as I am 
Yes I am as I am

"In the space between art and persona there is magic.  Marya Stark lives there. Drawing from influences as diverse as Classical, Broadway, Indie-Pop, Storytelling and Folk, Marya crafts a sound that is wholly original. As a multi-instrumentalist and multi-media enchantress, she creates the way she breathes; without choice or hesitation. She is a carrier of myth, mystery, and medicine songs with which she embarks to create a ceremony of the human condition, taking her audience on lucid journey's through the caverns of the soul. An award winning songwriter and soaring soprano, she is a mentor in the art of voice and archetypal embodiment. She is mused by kindness, nuance, synchronicity and soul remembrance, and is a life-long chaser waterfalls."
