This album is very dear to my heart and feels relevant in these times to bring this message of love and Unity into the world through these songs.

It is a representation of my own inner journey and stepping into my own power and strength with humility and reverence. Having courage to walk your own path without shame or fear but with clarity and love.

In the words of Haile Selassie said, "Unity is strength", and I hope that these songs will inspire hope and give courage to those in need while at the same time bringing joy and a celebration of life.


Much Love,

Sam Garrett - The Story

Forward To Zion

Forward To Zion - Sam Garrett feat. Paul Izak

We Are One

Belong

Wake up and smell the roses and keep your spirit clean
They'll make you interwoven with a fabricated dream
Some people locked in trouble and wrapped up in belief
Nothing lasts forever except the selfless silent sea 

Chorus

But I'm alive yes I'm alive and I'm walking on fire 
Listen to your heartbeat and see what you find 
Your alive yes your alive and your walking on fire 
Listen to me honey it will all be alright. 

Tranquil is the spirit who only speaks to those who see 
Never hesitate to give love to those you meet 
Home is where the heart is and its such a humble beat
Many troubled souls are still searching for the key 

Chorus repeat

And if your soul should slip through your hands
Just give thanks for the gift that is now
You have always been and will always be
Your the apple and I am the tree

I'm Alive

Slow down and give your mind a rest
Calm down, do your best
Become one in the eyes of love 
Seeking god above 
Its all inside, its all inside

Im higher than the mountains
Im higher than the mountains
Slow down, you make me high

You are wise in my eyes come home
You are wise in my eyes come home
Surrender now to your heart, to your heart
Burn away all desires, become one in the eyes of love, seeking god above
Its all inside
Its all inside

Chorus rep

Who are you
Hare Rama Hare Rama Om
Hare Rama come and save their souls
Hare Rama Hare Rama Om

Higher Than The Mountains

The towers fall down piece by piece I see a world in need
The people fall down on their knees I see a world in need

We need a new vibration as a start 
We've got to spot temptation from a far
But I know know now this is hard 
Because we're all so lost
We need a need a new vibration in our hearts

The trees are falling down leaf by leaf I see a world in need
The politicians vow to keep the peace but I see them living in greed yeah
But the children need to feed 

We need a new vibration as a start
We need to spot temptation from a far
But i know know now this is hard because we're all so lost
we need a new vibration in our hearts

Sail away my friends on a ship aboard your love

sail away maya

I & I - Sam Garrett

This is a powerful song for me and one that I feel is relevant to share at this time.

When Covid hit I came across a video of how chocolate is produced and the people involved in that process. I was struck by the massive inequality and the amount of money the growers and harvesters of the cacao were paid compared to the business owners at the top of the chain. The price that the growers get paid is set by the government who have ties with the business owners at the top, and they set the price very low so that they can reap as much of the rewards as possible leaving little to nothing for the very foundation, the farmers.

After watching I was left feeling heavy in my heart and in isolation from the world, at a time when it all seemed very confusing. The song started to come through that day as a result of what I was feeling inside combined with what I had been learning at that time from the teachings of His Majesty Haile Selassie.

This song is not an easy song to sing, but I feel it is my responsibility to my listeners to sing from an authentic and true place. Fast forward to today I was struck again by what is happening to Women in Iran and by what I saw of the revolution happening there. It moved me to tears and a voice inside said that this song wants to be in the world to assist us in this movement towards freedom and liberation in these times.

This song is not about the production of chocolate or the women in Iran this is a call to all of us throughout the world to awaken to the deeper love and care that is within us, do not be disheartened by the challenges we face but rise in love, as His Majesty said “We must become members of a new race, overcoming petty prejudice, and owing our ultimate allegiance not to nations, but to our fellow men and women within the human community”.

When We Get Together - Sam Garrett

This is a very special song for me and one I wrote for my daughter whilst I was in England during lockdown and couldn’t get back to Portugal to see my daughter for her birthday. After feeling a range of emotions I surrendered and picked up my guitar and started to sing “I’m on my way”.

The song is an expression of hope in times of hardship. It was my way of remaining open to life in this challenging moment and staying positive knowing that I would get back to her in the perfect time.

This is my favourite song on the album because it feels like the most uplifting and celebratory song despite the situation it came from.

My guru said “the problem is never the situation but our attitude towards it.”

Ultimately we all face difficult situations in life but we can change them by realising that life isn’t against us but for us and we can grow in humility, compassion and love through it all.

I hope you enjoy this song as much as I did making it and singing it. One love ♥️

Sam Garrett is an English Singer-songwriter whose music highlights his spiritual journey exploring Eastern Philosophy, Meditation, Yoga and Rastafari Wisdom. Lyrically soulful and devotionally talented, Sam’s music uplifts enlivens and inspires the hearts and souls of people all over the world.


With a skillful combination of vocals and guitar, he lifts the mood with reggae riffs such as ‘Lost In the Moment’ and soothes our busy minds with the soft tones of ‘Higher Than the Mountains,’ offering a unique journey and depth that is rare to experience.

During the pandemic Sam connected to Rastafari wisdom and livity, a connection that has always had a deep place in Sam’s heart. Whilst in lockdown Sam started to feel a pull towards the teachings and example of Haile Selassie and the spirit of Rastafari, which gave solace and comfort during these difficult times. 

Songs started to come through and an album was taking shape inspired by a call for deeper introspection and unity in a time of separation and division.

Sam was inspired by the album ‘Back to the Roots’ by Paul Izak and so after reconnecting online, Sam made his way to Oahu to record the forthcoming ‘Forward to Zion’ album which is set for release in 2023. Sam is looking forward to setting out on the road to share his heart songs, love and wisdom with the world.

Growing up in a musical family, Sam’s father would play a diverse range of records from artists such as Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, and Stevie Wonder. In Sam’s most formative years, his father took him to all different kinds of concerts on a regular basis. Sam was deeply inspired by his eclectic exposure to music and curious about the creative path of artistry. By the age of 12, Sam had formed his first band and  went on to play in the UK scene for some years before going solo. 

Sam would spend a lot of time writing songs immersed in the rich nature surrounding his family’s home. From this chapter of his life, he released his first EP ‘Be Easy’ in 2014.

Sam would eventually come to meet his spiritual teacher, Mooji Baba, in Portugal. Meeting and deeply connecting with Mooji was an incredibly impactful part of Sam’s path. While living and studying at Mooji’s ashram ‘Monte Sahaja’, Sam would often partake in the contemplative practice of Satsang as one of the attending musicians.

The 2019 single “Light of Your Grace” and 2021 album “Root Down Deep” co-created with fellow spiritual sojourner Mollie Monedoza was born from this chapter, and after experiencing the effervescence of life in Portugal, Sam decided to move there. Now, he spends his free time in between tour dates etc. sipping in the sweet nectar of gratitude, living a life of simplicity and stillness near ‘Monte Sahaja’.

Mooji’s teachings continue to have a profound effect on Sam’s life, which can be found woven throughout the message and essence of his music. Sam’s music is a reflection of his life’s journey thus far, and as his life continues to unfold, his eclectic library of inspirited sounds continue to expand.
