 Yeaaaa pleasure working with you bro 🙏🎵

"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

Cradle

Wild Sweet

A real-life lullaby, for the real-life parent in the final battles of sleep deprivation. One written about the moment when you have tried EVERYTHING to just get your child to GO TO SLEEP!! Part playful, part honest attempt to pull that final transition to rest… drifting away in harmonics and by the celebratory end, swooping us all away to an actual dreamscape. Written by Leah Song.

Oh Darlin'

i will keep the light on
so you know that i was home
if you hear my voice upon the wind
know i’m singing you a song

hear the humming of the trees around you
breathing peace into the air
theres a new moon the darkness blooming
makes the stars that much more clear
and the sky is scrying out yours dream now
tumbling down in puzzle light
ill draw any sort of creature for you
on which to take your flight

i will keep the light on
so you know’d i was home
if you hear my voice upon the wind
know im singing you a song

about the fireflies they're spying on you
i heard them whispering your name
telling stories of your heroism
and all the magic that you bring
and now their forming you a path to follow
lighting shadows one by one
bringing you back closer to me baby
so i can hold you in my arms

i will keep the light on
so you know’d i was home
if you hear my voice upon the wind
know im singing you a song

did you catch a song upon the wind
or carve it from the stone
did you hear it coming o’er the mountain
or read its scripted bones

did you feel from the forgotten place
the space between your toes
did you taste the color of its melody
dance rhythm’s prose

did it come to you like lightning would
or slowly through the veil
did its sonnet climb right out your throat
from the darkness it escaped

did it take you on a journey through
the faces of your past
did the memories last long enough
to turn phrase from their grasp

did it chase you in your dream time
cast its burden on your chest
did it wake you ‘neath the moon light
did it even let you rest

did it startle you by telling truth
you sworn silence til your death
did you let it have its way with you
this music on your breath


how did the song come
how did the song come
how did the song come
how did the song come
how did the song come
how did the song come
how did the song
how did the song
how did the song

How Did The Song

On the night of the new moon (8/25/2014)- this song was birthed. I set up my mic to record something completely different- but "It's Easier" poured out of my mouth. Within one hour- the entire song was completed. This time is about letting go of what no longer serves you and sewing seeds for what you want to create. "It's easier once you begin..." 

Song, lyrics, arrangement, composition, harmonies, recording, mixing, production by Carmen Crow.

(Basic recording done on laptop with Garageband. Unmastered.) 

Let me know if you would like to enhance this track if you are a producer- I'd be happy to send you the stems. Thank you for listening.

ANCESTORS (EP)

ANCESTORS

How about a little YES in your life? I wrote “Say Yes” when I was in a really dark place and needed to pull myself out. I've been meeting so many souls on the road who have found deep inspiration in this song. It’s funny how our medicine can be truly the deepest medicine for another. 
Let me introduce my brand new song: Say Yes (Equanimous Remix). Equanimous is one of my favorite new producers who just got signed to Jumpsuit Records (The Polish Ambassador, Ayla Nereo, Scott Nice). I love his deep pop centric and etherial beats and production. Enjoy our first collab cause it sure won’t be the last!!!
