Lyrics:
Verse 1
Holding my ear..
Close to the ground
Keeping it near..
Feel it shake and vibrate
Curving my fear
into the lane of love.
Out of the box.
Keeping it clear...
Minded..
Thoughts get fast forward and rewinded..
Surrender to hearts shining...
Homeland reminded...
Of A place timeless..
You are unique..
But the same like gold and silence...
Who sent you...
So curious.. Your potential..
Sincerity connects you..
Mother protects you...
A Thousand arms collect you.

Verse 2
from the ground up..
Call it in.. then we round up..
the decimals.. until its whole.. and we found what..
we reach for..
Is the sky where the clouds touch 
.. at the core here the sounds of..
the cries of a divine battallion..
See from the eyes of..
The falcons... uh..
The birds eye view..
The light shines through
Just enough to find you.
A bright divine design. .
I like it Times 2
Here to remind you..
Nothing confines you...
Time to fly the coop
Living by default..
Now it's time we choose
as we take our thoughts 
way beyond the roof...
Into new galaxies into..new dimensions.. 
cosmic selections... sacred connections..
songs of redemptions.. your recollection .. 
of your reflection.. 
 of the eternal

Ayla Nereo - From The Ground Up (Srikala Remix)

"Wider Circles" is the newest album from Rising Appalachia. With influences of folk, soul, roots, world music, and poetry, the album showcases the alchemy of sibling harmonies paired with banjo and fiddle duets. The album was inspired by folk standards and traditional hymns, old mountain odes, and activist anthems that pull equally from the swampy sounds of the bayou, the twang of the Appalachian mountains, and the beat of a global rhythm.

Lean In (feat. Maurice Turner)

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.....

Old memories is good to have, but also to get som new ones.

05 Science Of A New Time

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.
