The Moon has a way, of healin my pain
The Sun has a way of brightening my day
The horizon always seems to set me straight
I was born out of the earth and one day she’ll be my grave

The path we take around the Sun
And the way it seems to walk around us
The green leaves come and then they go
The cold takes the color but then in (spring) it returns

And then the way we feel, its up and its down
The movement is too familiar its all around
The cycle inside is exactly the same
As the ones outside, the ones we can see

The way the water floats up to the sky
And how it rains on land that once was dry
Pouring itself to sustain life
Rivers bring it back to the ocean where it first resided

The way the hawk builds her burly nest
And how the cobra curls his body
The shape of the color in your eyes
And the rings that form the tall tree
The food I eat I give thanks to you
One day I’ll be food for something too

All of the stories in this collection were transcribed from the voice of the Great Breath and the Lips of Nature Herself. My role as a child of the Earth and a traveler through the light waves was to infuse my humanity into what I hear and feel in the forests and with the mountains and the riversides. Language is everywhere, and comes in so many forms, melody is all-pervasive, everything is rhythm, so, quite literally, the music is a compilation of creatures made of melody spawned from the rivers, from the wind, from the Voice of Nature.

Strange Ambient track. Has no labels.
Song is about/represents psychedelic drug use and hallucinations, or other powerful drug induced states.

“Did you find out if you wanted to go that way, or –did you find out a way that you could be, so to speak, "with the dust?" Satellite images. Their images are concerned.

Faded Headlights (High Love)

Aloha friends,

The story of the song is in the song.

I will say that it was born in a small cave overlooking the ocean on the south side of the island of Kauai on a sunshine filled morning. I believe that a song is living, and soaks up the feeling of the place and space where it came into form, so it's my wish that this song can fill you with the beauty and hope that the horizon gives to us.

Thank you so much for being here and listening!

in Love,
Steven

Horizon (single)

Amaya is the first single off of the new full length album Mauna coming October 2nd, 2019! 

Mauna means mountain in Hawaiian, and silence in Sanskrit. Amaya comes from Sanskrit, and means non-illusion, absence of delusion, or true reality, with the root word amma, which means mother, I sing to Amaya, the mother of truth, the mother of sound, of true creation, and I sing to the silence, Shiva. 

Amaya is one of the dearest songs to me on this album, a love song to the Great Creatress, and to her beloved, Shiva, a love song to the silence from where we all come and where we shall go. 


Featured lyrics: 
"You fold the stars like a blanket, 
and you paint my face, 
you rock me back and forth, 
in your love and grace, 
and I feel you with me, 
all of the time, 
and I hear you whisper, 
everything shines."

Amaya (single)

Wrote this tune on 7/27/19 near a valley in Kalaheo, HI, and it sure is fun to play (even by yourself)! Hope you enjoy it, and remember if your thinking of me just a holler down the valley!

Steven Sedalia is an emerging singer-songwriter forging a folk fusion sound incorporating various styles from around the world, including Appalachian twang, island roots, Hawaiian mele, and Sanksrit devotional chanting. Spiced and served into love songs, these flavors combine with Sedalia's bright voice and summery acoustic guitar for an emotionally nourishing and energetic serenade. 

Being raised in the countryside foothills of North Carolina has instilled in Sedalia a deep reverence for the the land and that is emergent in his songs. Currently based in Hawai'i, this praise seems to have multiplied as the music mixes the moods of devotion, romance, wonder, awe, joy of abundance, and exploration of love.
