"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

Cradle

Wild Sweet

Into The River is a song for acapella vocals and the interplay of harmonics that can happen when you open up to the spontaneity of the voice.  Meant as a collective song, it was written by Chloe from Rising Appalachia whilst sitting by a river listening to the rhythm of the moving rocks and churning water.  Repetitive.  Playful. Overlapping and overlaying so as to be new each time it is sung. Starling Arrow sang this song in free form for the album, with less notes and arrangements than some of the other tracks and more of a vocal jam type air.  It is a joyous homage to laying ones tired body down in the water and letting trials and tribulations be washed away, a theme found in gospel music and traditional music from around the world.  As rain finds the rivers, our voices found one anothers for this sweet collaboration and merged into one.

Into The River

This song, written by Tina Malia, is based on the title of the upcoming album, Cradle, out February 2023. It is languid and warm, meant to hold the listener in the feeling of home. It is a winter song with the spirit of the holidays within.

By The Jordan

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.

Ayla Nereo - Eastern Sun

A real-life lullaby, for the real-life parent in the final battles of sleep deprivation. One written about the moment when you have tried EVERYTHING to just get your child to GO TO SLEEP!! Part playful, part honest attempt to pull that final transition to rest… drifting away in harmonics and by the celebratory end, swooping us all away to an actual dreamscape. Written by Leah Song.

Oh Darlin'

Existence

[Verse]
In a dusty room where dreams are carved
I grip the wood
The strings
They’re scarred
Calloused fingers dance on frets aligned
Whispers of magic in a six-stringed shrine

[Verse 2]
Melodies are born in the dead of night
Tears and laughter in the twilight
Bending notes till the soul takes flight
A solo that sears through heart's delight

[Chorus]
Face-melting melody
Born from the pain
Songs of the wind and the driving rain
Every note a story
Every strum a sigh
As the music lifts
We touch the sky

[Verse 3]
Ghosts of legends whisper in my ear
The road they've traveled
The paths unclear
I follow shadows through the haze
Their echoes burning in this mazy daze

[Bridge]
Fingers dancing
Like flames in twilight's grip
Each note a whisper
Each chord a call
The fretboard's fire
In an endless trip
Through the heart's chambers
Standing tall

[Chorus]
Face-melting melody
Born from the pain
Songs of the wind and the driving rain
Every note a story
Every strum a sigh
As the music lifts
We touch the sky

Face - Melting Melody

Remember, Remember just who you are 
Remember, you’re made up of stars 
Remember, remember the wisdom within 
Remember, all the joy you can bring
Remember, remember you’re of this earth
Remember, all that you are worth
Remember, remember all that you know
Remember, seeds take time to grow
Remember, remember, remember
Remember all that you all
Remember the power, the power of love

Ou oh ou oh ou oh yeah yeah yeah
Ou oh ou oh ou oh yeah yeah yeah
Ou oh ou oh ou oh yeah yeah 

All my worries and my regrets
All the things I haven’t done yet
I let it go I let it go I let it go I let it go

All the things that people say
When things aren’t going my way
I let it go i let it go i let it go i let it go

Cause I know that sometimes
I’ve got to take a step back
And remind myself
That its all a state of mind 

And I love and accept myself exactly as I am in the present moment
Yes I love and accept myself exactly as I am in the present moment
Because I am as I am 
Yes I am as I am 

Repeat all 

I love and accept myself exactly as I am in the present moment 
Yes I love and accept myself exactly as I am in the present moment 
Because I am as I am 
Yes I am as I am
