When You Were Born, You Cried

Something deep within you is awakening
Let it wake
Let it wake

Something Deep Within You

Song of the Sea (Amhrán Na Farraige)
Music Video: 

The first time I watched this movie Song of the Sea and heard this song, I was captivated. This is an incredible and magical score and film! I had such a wonderful time creating this cover with the incredibly talented composer, The Horse Valse! He is such an astonishing artist and his arrangement of this song is perfection. I couldn't have covered this song without his help! 

I'm afraid my Gaelic is not the most amazing but I tried my best! Hopefully it doesn't sound too bad to those who are able to speak the beautiful dialect! 

We hope you enjoy!

A three-part chant celebrating the gifts of the darkness.  Lyrics:  Every time I go into the darkness, I return with fistfuls of jewels.  Midnight velvet wraps all around me; stars glitter brilliant above.
Dreaming darkness, dreaming light.  @ Big Bug Music.

A fun, rhythmic, layered song inviting us to listen deeply to the rhythm of the Earth and the sound of the river. 

Lyrics:

Part 1: Put your roots down, put your feet on the ground, can you hear what she says when you listen?

Part 2: Cause the sound of the river as it moves across the stone is the same sound as the blood in your body as it moves across your bones.

Oh Debbie Nargi-Brown has done it again. Sharing this song in community holds transformative powers... I find again and again Debbie's songwriting has a particular knack for validating and embracing our shadows while still luring us back into the light. This was a joy to record with Debbie and my Wholehearted Chorus in January, 2020. Enjoy!

Another powerfully infectious and uplifting song from the great Melanie DeMore. This one speaks to not leaving anyone behind, with nods to two of the great leaders of racial justice, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King and Madiba (Nelson Mandela).  The chorus of this song by itself is a quick and easy teach, and the song grows in complexity and beauty by adding the two high harmony parts to the choruses as well as two verses and a bridge.

Original song copyright Melanie DeMore. Recorded by Melanie DeMore with Lisa G. Littlebird in February, 2020.

Part I
What if what we are doing right now
Ripples out beyond what the eye can see?

Part II
What is this step a part of that's bigger than me?
Bigger than me, bigger than me

Part III
What is happening through me?
Happening, happening, happening through me?

Ripple
