1. Calling Out to the Universe

More than ever before I'm knowing
More than ever before I see
My eyes are beholding the majesty of me

More than ever before I'm knowing
Just how brilliant the sky can be
And it’s shining inside every part of me

Everyday and night I’m returning
To the one that I came to be
Everyday and night I’m learning
That I’m already free

Whispers upon the wind they guide me
Every step I take
I’m hearing the voices of angels
And these lessons deeply I take

‘Cause I’m calling out to the universe
The song that lives deep in me
I’m calling out to the universe
The song that lives deep in me
Deep in me, deep in me
It lives deep in me, it lives deep in me

I’m calling out to the universe
Hearing the song that guides me
I’m calling out to the universe
And I’m trusting each moment now
Yes I’m trusting each moment now
Yes I’m trusting every moment now
Yes I’m trusting every moment now

And where I held a doubt about my life I now
Release the past and all the fear and all the worries I let them go
And see that I’m provided for I see that I am now
I’m given everything I need
Even if I don’t know how it comes to me
I am trusting, trusting that life it’s here to hold me
And life O yes it shines
With the light in 10,000 suns
It’s shining in my heart and mind
And showing me that everywhere I go

Everything I need is given, everything
Everything is given, of this I sing
Everything is given, every moment of the day
Everything is given along my way
Everything I need even before I know
Before I know, before I know
That I need something it’s already given to me
Even before I need something it’s here for free
It’s here in me, it’s here for free, yes it’s given

No strings connected, yes it’s given, 
No strings to hold anything back from me
No strings are holding back the power
Holding back the love
No strings are holding back the beauty
Holding back the gold
No strings are holding back the talent
No strings are holding back the light that shines
No strings they hold me back from what is mine
From what is mine, from what is mine
No strings they hold me back from what is mine
From what is mine, ‘cause I’m receiving everything
That’s here now given to me
I’m receiving everything that wants to come to me
I’m receiving everything that’s given now to me
For who I am.

Lyrics:

In my heart there are bridges 
All around the world I can feel
In my heart O there are bridges
And they are linking up every part of me
To every part of you
They are linking up every part of me
To every part of you, yes

There’s a clarity that’s shining
It shows me what I need to know
There’s a clarity that’s shining
And it shows me where to go
And it’s a rarity that’s reminding me
That I already know, I already know

Everything I need to take me where
These bridges they show to me
Show to me that I do care
‘Cause these bridges in my heart connect me to you (repeat)

There are bridges, bridges in my heart
There are bridges, linking me to every part
Every part of me is meeting with you

Finding the language in me to meet with you right now
Finding the language in me to meet with you O so deeply

All the tension of yesterday
All of the stress I let it fall away

A shining light of peace

And I am bathed now in the waters
I am bathed now face to face

Lyrics:

Let me hold my life in the kindness of my heart
Let me hold my life right now
Let me hold my life in the kindness of my heart
Let me hold all the parts of me

And return to the peace that I know I am made of
Return to the peace and the love

Let me hold my heart
in the kindness of my being
Let me hold my heart right now
Let me hold all the parts right now
Let me hold all the partsof me right now

And trust that I have the way 
To see right through it all,
It’s the wisdom in me
If there’s a solution, let it show me,
let it find a way into my soul

As I hold all the parts of me in kindness O yeah
As I hold the parts of me with a gentleness
Hold the parts of me 
With a kindness that tells me I am love, 
Tells me I am love, I am love, I am love, I am love

And every part of me is feeling held by this love
Held by this love right now
Every part of me is held by this love
Held by this love in me

Maybe that was what I was seeking for
The solution to all I need
As I feel all the parts of me
Held now in this love. this Mystery

All the parts of me are held in love
In the Mystery

How can we know it all?
it’s not possible and yet we do
Let something come right through that is beyond
Anything we’re dreaming of, 
Anything we’re dreaming of
It’s beyond, it’s beyond anything we’re dreaming of
It’s beyond, it’s beyond anything we’re dreaming of
It’s beyond, it’s beyond anything we’re dreaming of

Lyrics: 

Our love it lives inside us outside of time
Our love it lives inside us, and here it shines

Our love it lives inside us outside of time
Our love it lives inside us, shining, shining (repeat)

And we remember wherever we go
This love is part of us, it's what we truly know
From before this world began we knew
Love that brings together me and you

Our love it lives inside us outside of time
Our love it lives inside us, shining, shining (repeat)

There is no end to this love that we know
There is no end, we’re in the great flow
There is no end to this love that we know
It’s a river that moves on through

And we’re grateful for the healing
We’re grateful for the love
We’re grateful for the gift of life
The way it’s pouring through us
We’re grateful for the ones who come
And sing their songs so free

We’re grateful for the love between us now (repeat)
We’re grateful for the love.

Lyrics:

I was lost, trouble all around
Such a cost to my peace
I was lost, peace could not be found
And I just wanted it to cease

Then I felt the comfort of love,
The comfort of the love in me
Troubles fall away and the sun it shines
I’m living the life that I’m meant to be

I’m living my life in the sunshine
I’m living my life here and now 
I’m living my life here in the sunshine 
And my troubles fall away somehow
All my troubles fall away somehow (repeat)

I’m living my life here in the sunshine
I’m living my life here and now
I’m living my life here in the sunshine
And all my troubles fall away somehow
All my troubles fall away somehow
All my troubles fall away somehow

I don’t have the words to say
But here in this moment I pray
I open my heart to you and feel our love

I don't have the words to say
But here I open up and pray
To feel the love that's shining through me and you
Love that is shining through me and you

I don't have the words to say
But now I open up and pray
And let the love that's shining here 
Flow on through, flow on through, flow on through

I let the love shine through me
I let the love shine through, O
I let the love shine through me
I let it shine through me and you, yes (repeat)

Through me and you
Don’t need any words
I don’t need any words, I don't need any words

Lyrics:

In my heart every night, every day
Is the question I keep asking
What is my way?

In my heart every night and every day
The question I keep asking
What is my way?

O let me remember I feel it’s true
Let me remember, let it shine through
Let me remember what my soul already knows

Every night and every day
I was asking the question, what is my way?
But now I feel it’s somewhere here
Buried in my soul
Now I feel I already know, I know which way to go

I know my way inside my heart I know my way
I know my way inside my heart I know my way 
I know my way inside my heart I know my way 

Once I was asking every night and day
Now I’m feeling the words to say
‘Cause I was looking for something to show me my way
But now I know it’s always been, 
Always been a part of me and it’s here today,

I know I already know, I already know my way
I already know, I already know, I already know my way
I already know, I already know, I already know my way

Grateful for the wisdom in me.

I Already Know

Life in the Balance
Intuitive Song for Monika
Recorded online during Stillwater Hour
Summer Solstice 2025
words, music & arrangement by Michael Stillwater
www.innerharmony.com

Lyrics:

For so long it was easy
Easy to give to you
So strong was the feeling
I didn't know what else I could do

But then I found that I was receiving
Receiving what was good for me
I found I was receiving
I was receiving the good in me

And I've come to the balance inside me
The balance of who I am
Easily give and easily receive
In this I understand

I found the balance inside of me
I found the balance to set me free
I found the balance inside, 
There's nothing that can hide anymore
I found the balance in me

I found the balance in me
Give and receive
It's what I know how to do

I've got the balance in me
I give and receive from you

I found the balance in me
I give and receive
That's what I'm here to do

I found the balance in me
To give and receive from you.

Life in the Balance

See Without Sight is a mysterious and soul-stirring exploration of inner vision, inviting the listener to release surface judgment and awaken the heart’s deeper perception. Blending poetic lyrics with a cinematic, electro-mechanical soundscape, the song begins in subtle ambience and builds with emotional intensity. With expressive vocals, atmospheric guitars, analog synth layers, and a reverent pulse, it unfolds like a veil being lifted—revealing a truth felt, not seen. This piece is a spiritual reflection on intuition, empathy, and the unseen dimensions of love and awareness.

Never Fades Away
Intuitive Song for Rose
Words, Music & Arrangement by Michael Stillwater
Online Songportrait on 7. July, 2025
Recorded via Zoom

Lyrics:

Sometimes I don't feel seen
Like what I've been
It wasn't enough for you
It wasn't enough for you

Sometimes I feel
Like I'm not getting what I need
And that's when I come back
To who I really am
At the heart of everything
Who I really am 
At the heart of my being

Sometimes I didn't feel
I didn't feel like I belong
That's when I pray
That I can hear my song
And that I can let it come through
Like it's always wanted to

I want to hear the song
That's been singing me 
Through my life all my life long
I want to hear my song
As it brings love to me
As it brings the comfort here
As it brings all that I need
And washes away my tears

I hear the song that I've been waiting
I've been waiting for
I hear the song that I knew
Was inside me and there's so much more

That I am ready to 
Come back and see you
With new eyes now 
Than I've ever used before

That I am seen in the light of who
The light of who I really am
I am seen in the light of who I really am

And I'm held in the love of my being
Yes, I'm held in the love and I'm seeing
It's a love that never fades away
It's alway here to stay
It never goes away, it's the love in my soul
It's the love in my soul that never fades away
It's the love in my soul that never fades away

And here I am comfort, here I am fine
Here I am drinking the heavenly wine
Here I am feeling the peace of my soul that's real
Here I am feeling the peace of my soul that is real

Never Fades Away

About My Music:
I create original, genre-blending music that fuses rock, classical, easy listening, and experimental styles. Each song is crafted with deep emotional honesty, often inspired by my own poetry, journal reflections, or personal stories. Whether instrumental or vocal, my focus is to uplift, inspire, and resonate with listeners on a real, human level.
I don’t settle for “good enough.” Every track goes through hundreds of iterations, shaped by a balance of intuition and precision. I use advanced AI music tools to explore sound and emotional tone, then refine everything in Logic Pro for professional production quality. It's a fusion of heart and technology, and through it, I aim to connect, heal, and inspire—one song at a time.

With interviews recorded worldwide, including at the 2009 Parliament of the World’s Religions in Melbourne, the film was screened at the Parliaments in both Salt Lake City (2015) and Toronto (2018).

Their third film, Beyond the Fear of Singing: Unlock Your Voice, Release Your Song (2019), winner of three film festival awards, focuses on the inhibition so many feel about their singing voice, together with healing pathways for overcoming limitations and the rewarding discovery of expressing one’s voice.
