Superb.. Like a musical book that once you open the pages you can't put it down until the last page. Thank you so much for the journey.

absolutely puts me in great energy. 🤞🏼🌟

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

SEEDS

my brother lives in a jungle concrete
like a belly gone to rumbling
only wants a taste of the sky
wind and fire, setting the seeds
for the son of his son come with him
one day to come
my sister her hands are raised
for the stakes are high and she knows it
and i am singing for her vision
singing for her vision

this is not mere speech
all we seek is here where we stand and
shape as clay, turning tides dug deep and
wider still to hold what comes
and wider still to say

we'll never be moved from here
our lives will live in the seeds we've sown
calling what's coming clear
our will is held in the gardens we've grown
as light from the sun we can give
as rivers meeting can become one
walk toward the call of this
and plant it deep for the ones to come

one day
none shall be imprisoned
for tending the land
for feeding our children
one day
we will cherish the soil
valued more than gold
its value more than gold

one day our hands will raise
for the way we walk and how we own it
and i am singing for this vision
singing for this vision

(Vocal polyphony)

this is not mere speech
all we seek is here where we stand and
shape as clay, turning tides dug deep and
wider still to hold what comes
and wider still to say

we'll never be moved from here
our lives will live in the gardens we've grown
calling what's coming clear
our will is held in the seeds we've sown
as light from the sun we can give
as rivers meeting can become one
walk toward the call of this
and plant it deep for the ones to come

my brother live in a jungle concrete
like a belly gone to rumbling
only wants a taste of the sky
wind and fire, setting the seeds
for the son of his son to
come with him one day
taste the roots he was born from
pass him the story how all
hands came together as
one

You and I Are Falling, You and I Are Free

Sisters Leah and Chloe Smith founded Rising Appalachia on their back porch in Georgia, playing simple fiddle and banjo melodies and leaning into their families rich musical traditions. It has since become a globally recognized Americana and world folk ensemble, celebrating a unique blend of Southern-rooted music, storytelling, and community. The band features David Brown (bass, guitar), Duncan Wickel (fiddle, cello), and Biko Casini (percussion), and infuses music with a unique tapestry of Appalachian, Irish and traditional influence but stays connected to simple songwriting. Rising Appalachia has captivated audiences for nearly 2 decades, from busking in New Orleans to touring Europe, and has been featured at prestigious venues like Red Rocks, Telluride Bluegrass Festival and Woodford Folk Fest. Their performances at NPR's Tiny Desk and Preservation Jazz Hall have solidified their status in the folk music scene. Breaking industry norms, the band's approach to music is as much an artistic statement as it is a movement, culminating in their newest album, 'Folk and Anchor' a carefully curated collection of cover songs. This project includes remakes from Bob Dylan to James Blake, Erykah Badu to Beyonce and showcases their eclectic style, inviting listeners into a rich musical journey.
