06 Sugar Man - Live eq4

"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

Wild Sweet

This song was written by Marya Stark inspired by bones and a time before the internet. ‘Fly Away’ is evocative of prophecy, dreams, and the magic at midnight.

By this point, it was towards the end of summer months of 2020, several waves of chaos into the lockdown, and we were riding the many uprisings and divisions within the culture. 

Leah threw out the idea of needing respite from all the internet dumpster fires that were wreaking havoc on our online communities, and called for a song to reach into the healing power of our ancestral magics. Thus, the topic we chose was ‘bones’, with the style being that which was way before the internet. 

This song tells the story of a dream of a young woman who is being called into an initiation at the temple. She has visions of her sacred women kin dancing around in a star-stepping pattern as a practice of oracular divination and invocation prayer.

"Whatever is destined to happen will happen, 
do what you may to prevent it. 
This is certain. 
The best course, 
therefore, 
is to remain silent."

Call to the Divine

Breathing Space

A beautiful and haunting melody from one of France's great composers, Eric Satie. While this piece is simple, it also has a great deal of emotional depth and it is the transmission of this that makes it so challenging to play, as with many of Satie's pieces.
