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

"Taken from the wonderful pulse of the southern gospel voice that was such a part of my urban southern upbringing, I wanted this song to be written as an elemental gospel anthem. A celebratory nod to the worship of the wild world around us, the hums of the stream, the chimes of the bell tower, the power of song to wash over our human toils and strains. I wrote it to remind us that we are bigger than our singular human conscience." ~ Leah Song

Cradle

Swoon And Wander

"Volar means 'to fly' in Spanish and was written during our "wind lullaby" week.  Leah and I both speak Spanish and I love using 2 languages to explain a feeling through song." ~ Tina Malia

Holy - Meika

If something as hard as a stone can one day wash down the river as dust in the water, the love and hope in our hearts can, I believe still melt the fear in the world.

With deep reverence and gratitude, I offer you my heart and soul's prayer.

This album is a transmission of the personal journey I experienced in its creation. It truly is the "Full Spectrum" representation of my personal and this collective human experience.

Some of these songs were written in the midst of loss and despair, others in the peaks of ecstasy and breakthrough. Others are the deepest prayers for what I wish too see come to fruition. In all cases I have done my best to allow my highest self and Creator to speak through me, and to be a pure channel for the healing medicine that moves through all things…

My prayer is that you may submerge yourself into this journey, riding the waves, allowing yourself to feel and witness whatever may arise in you, and receive the healing and inspiration you deserve.

I dedicate this album to the Divine Mother. To this beautiful Earth garden we exist in. To the sacred healing teacher plants, our elders, our ancestors, and our children… To the Warriors of the Rainbow, and to our bright, colorful, abundant, thriving future...

Warriors Of The Rainbow

A sensual, feminine song, dedicated to women everywhere. An anthem for the sacredness of our moon cycle to be honored, and the power of this movement returned. Featured in the film "Things We Don't Talk About". Written by Shylah Ray Sunshine, Produced by Raymond Powers.

Lyrics:
Across valleys folding, across waters frozen
across the time between my dawn and your setting sun
these are stories blowin’, these words tender showin’
how can I touch the shape of wing-binding’s falling ‘way
oh tongue, set you free, and oh mind let it be
oh land, teach me how to lay in the storming wind
across hearts aching, across skies a-breaking
across the time between our suns

I’m lost in your stars
by the light of the dark moon
just be as you are, just do as you do
by grace and devotion
by lettin go, lettin go overything
by breath as it takes you
by the light of the dark moon
I’m lost in your stars

Two-toned, moment wide, breathing, stay with it
I aim for the place between all longing and letting be
speaking honeywine, making wishes star-side
these are the arrows in the battle of becoming
make me a warrior hummingbird, disarming 
you be a compass to guide this flight
take me surrendered, fill me to spilling over
the roots of this endless sky

I’m lost in your stars…

By the Light of the Dark Moon
