"Medicine” is a song-anthem honoring the traditions of folk medicine; plant-based medicine as a tool for empowerment and healing. It is a call to action to support the voices of the herbalists, healers, and teachers… the roots, plants, trees, and stones… the arts, the spirits, and the wild ones. It is an honoring of all the many ways that we can be well, and the radical and traditional ways in which we can steward health within ourselves. 

This song is a direct tribute to the people around the world who are holding and teaching these ways of herbal plant-based medicine, educating us all to know our gardens, our forests, our plants and our own bodies... to bring wellness back into our own hands and communities. It is not a dismissal of modern medicine, but a gratitude and honoring of its ancestry and foundations within folkloric traditions. 

This release comes on the New Moon after the Fall Equinox. As we are moving into a new season, a new time, and a new chapter, we offer this song as a ritual anthem for this transition and time of great change.

"Medicine" Lyrics:

Wise men say that rushing is violence
and so is your silence
when its rooted in compliance
To stand firm in loving defiance,
make art your alliance
give voice to the fire

Move people to the beat of the wind
Gather yourself and begin
to dance the song until it ends
We are winners, champions of the light
forming in numbers and might
keep the truth close in sight...

Chorus:
Medicine Woman, Medicine Man
walking with grace, I know your face, and I trust your hands
Medicine Woman, Medicine Man
walking with grace, I know your face, and I trust your hands

Find your teachers in the voice of the forests
unplug you cant ignore this
wisdom of the voiceless
Remedies are bountiful and surround us
from the garden to the farthest 
prayers made of star dust

Find your healing in the music that calls you
the voice that enthralls you
what do you belong to 
Eyes out theres the setting of the sun
give thanks to each and everyone
the lesson is the...

Medicine Woman, Medicine Man
walking with grace I know your face, and I trust your hand
Medicine Woman, Medicine Man
walking with grace, I know your face, and I trust your hand  
 
Poem:

I believe in bending backwards and extending
in my tracks 
trip back
until the lesson is in action and
your yard is feeding
stop stark the disbelieving
cause the garden holds the shards 
the medicine is in the seeds when

We hold tight to our right to protect and
we know our might is 10-fold in connection
our elders hold them bright lights 
we protect them
the medicine is evident 
the wolf, the hawk, the bear clan

We hold tight to our right to protect and
we know our might is 10-fold in connection
our elders hold them bright lights 
we protect them
the medicine is evident 
the wolf, the hawk, the bear clan...

Medicine Woman, Medicine Man
walking with grace, I know your face, and I trust your hands
Medicine Woman, Medicine Man
walking with grace, I know your face, and I trust your hands

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

Never too Late
copyright Amae Love 2016 all rights resereved

coulda shoudla woulda, never did help me
i've cried i've denied but now i'm just tryin' to get healthy
my mind drive me crazy thinkin' of all that i could've done
what could have been waiting back when i was eighteen or twenty one

my voice it breaks in my throat i won't sing a note 
till i give up my hold on my fear and surrender
i die to my lies i run to the cries from my soul to remember 
that it's now or never..
but it's never too late,
 to make a break
to shake that the weight off and fly
so i do it for love
i do it for all that is sacred to me
cuz it's never too late
to change your fate
to give your dreams a new life
and it's never too late
to late to try

this life had seemed to through my fingers like grains of sand
got me lost in a dream till i finally woke up to who i am
there's so many talented people who never do get their shot
so there's no way that i'm gonna to give up till i give it all i've got

opportunities passed, that may never come back
did i step off my path, and get lost in confusion?
there's no way to know, now its time to let go,
just get on with the show and burn down the illusion

that it's ever too late to make a break
to shake that weight off and fly
so i do it for love
i do it for all that is sacred to me
cuz it's never too late
to change your fate
to give your dreams a new life
never too late
to late to try

well i'm tired of excuses, i've got only myself to blame
the truth is so elusive its useless, losing at my own game
still i get frustrated sometimes when i get caught up in my mind
i was born to be creative all i gotta do is let in the light 
and shine and shine and shine.....
and SHINE!
cuz it's never too, never too, never too late

never too late to make a break
to shake that weight off and fly
so just do it for love
do it for all that is sacred to you
cuz it's never too late
to change your fate
to give your dreams a new life
never too late
to late to FLY!!
oh no no no.....



Never Too Late

02 My Own Medicine

We wrote this song 4 years ago and its meaning is even more poignant. it's about the pending natural disaster of the Cascadian Subduction Zone shifting off the coast of Oregon and causing a catastrophic earthquake that could end us all in the NW. The world is currently overtaken by greed and money and natural disasters. As we wrote this song, we imagined a good hearted couple surviving the disaster, starting over from scratch and rebuilding their lives with their own 2 hands, and this time greed doesn't win, and a different world is born. It's interesting to hear this song so stripped down as just a duo, i think it's more about the story this way. ~ Laurie Shook

        Much to the credit of its title, Freediving, the new album from Roman Pavlov aka Rhythm of Mankind & Nature is just that: an extended, placid, lilting descent from a more vertical vantage point into ever increasing layers of deep blue chill-out psychedelia.
 
        The foreign worlds Pavlov creates across the 71 minutes of Freediving’s fluid event horizon are both technically well-crafted and sonically pleasing, and taken as a whole comprise a hopeful, organic record that plays well both in the background and in your headphones.

        Allusions to water, the ocean, and the fluid movement of both mass and energy are likely to color most descriptions of the contents of Freediving, and not just given the album’s title and song names such as “In Pacific Ocean”, “Breathe Underwater”, and “Touch of Blue Light”. The music is as hazy as sea fog and as gently swelling as a far-off breaker seen through a pane of stained glass. Each track herein is a type of journey in itself (no song clocks at under 5:00), and best taken in a dimly yet warmly lit room. There are hints of a lot of things going on here, from the emotionally-charged electro-chill of Enigma and perhaps Bjork, to the ambient worlds of Robert Rich, Brian Eno and a host of ambient knob twiddlers, to the dreamier side of Moby and current chill-wave darlings Washed Out, and even some hints here and there of the luscious, dreamy melancholia that characterizes some of This Mortal Coil’s more ethereal work. Though there’s not any one influence that strongly comes to mind, and in keeping with the album’s general arc, notions and recollections tend to filter to the surface with a type of languid fluidity...  read more: http://romanmusic.ru

The Cassiopeia

'Changelings’
b/w ‘I Wonder U’ / ‘Changelings (The Enormous Shadow remix)

Release Date: 8th November 2010
Label: SomethingNothing Records (Digital Only Release)

“a dream-like tableau evoking Bjork, The Dirty Projectors and Vienna’s Soap & Skin as well as (Fever Ray’s) sly gift for otherness. At times it plays like a surrealist nightmare, with teeth in all the wrong places. At times it’s softer than that. - The Quietus

“Completely mesmerising, ominous and beautiful. Gazelle Twin does bring to mind the dreamy vocal allure of Elizabeth Fraser (Cocteau Twins), the strange beauty of Fever Ray and the edgy seduction of Siouxsie Sioux. But the Exciting thing is that there is no one exactly like her." – Arwa Haider, Metro

Very rarely - and all the more striking and mysterious they are for it - an artist comes along who is just that: An artist with a capital ‘A’. Doing something so different and special it’s as if creativity, ideas and - in Gazelle Twin’s case - sheer magic is rising from their every pore and floating into the atmosphere.

For atmosphere is the key word here.  Gazelle Twin’s influences are as far-reaching as the rhythmic wonders of Prince (hence this b-side cover), the Terminator soundtrack, the early choral music of composer Carlo Gesualdo and a mythical creature named Loplop (from whom Gazelle Twin – aka Elizabeth Walling - borrows her astonishing shape shifting image when performing her mesmerising, dreamlike live sets). So with all of this in the melting pot that is Gazelle Twin’s visionary mind, it is of little wonder the music plays out like some surrealist dreamscape – evoking an almost erotic Twin Peaks-esque mood where the listening is simultaneously drawn in by it’s all encompassing otherworldly magnetism and unnerved by a creeping eeriness that’s almost claustrophobic. 

‘Changelings’ with its existential lyrics, dramatic symphonies and dark electronica seems the perfect introduction to Gazelle Twin. The accompanying video is, produced and directed by Gazelle Twin, and featuring an abstract world of shifting storms and changing faces. All adding a chilly, surrealist underbelly to a track already hauntingly beautiful. 

‘Changelings’ is released on 8th November on Brighton label SomethingNothing Records. The single’s b-sides come in form of an abstract cover of Prince’s ‘I Wonder U’ and a remix of ‘Changelings’ by electro renegade The Enormous Shadow.

Gazelle Twin releases a second single in February, with the debut album ‘The Entire City’ set for release in Spring 2011.

IN AND THROUGH THE BODY

Lyrics:
you could play it out
but all of it’s in your head
holding on with both two hands
gotta let go 
is it really you
knocking at your own door
always looking for something more
don’t be a fool
don’t be a fool

oh no no no
you just gotta let that old story go
you just gotta let that good river flow into your heart
it’s a start

where you gonna run to if you’re gonna run from here
only running from your own fear
it’ll catch up now
gotta let it die
gotta let it go its own way
who will you be if you let it stay
i’m afraid
I'm afraid

the old story (feat. Emory Hall)

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.
