Égni kell

We all have changed, I remember those days, when it all was okay, and we prayed it would stay that way till we were older, you gave the cold shoulder, and now I am colder but still I can hold her,


 lessons I’ve learned from the ages I’ve burned away into the fire, but you stand there inspired, and I think its alright, I was high as a kite but afraid the heights so I never would fly too far from who I liked and I kept my friends tight, cause who knows when we’ll die, baby girl, just please smile, 
cause you are who I like, and I think that’s just fine
X2 

We go to sleep with these hopes and these dreams that one day we can be something more than we see, all we want is our freedom, the changing of seasons, leave tears down my eyes, and the nights I would cry cause you had said goodbye, watching you walk away and you leave me in pain, but I’ll see you again,

 lessons I’ve learned from the ages I’ve burned away into the fire, but you stand there inspired, and I think its alright, I was high as a kite but afraid the heights so I never would fly too far from who I liked and I kept my friends tight, cause who knows when we’ll die, baby girl, just please smile, 
cause you are who I like, and I think that’s just fine

The Only Way Through by Dianne Baker

(composed by Adrian Freedman & Amir Paiss)
Amir Paiss – santur
Adrian Freedman – shakuhachi
Recorded live in Mullumbimby, Byron Bay, Australia 
Recording date: February 2018

In Februay 2018 I travelled to Australia for the first time, where I met a sweet soul, a fellow musical traveller, by the name of Amir Paiss. Amir plays the Persian santur and he was co- founder of the internationally acclaimed Hebrew-Arab world music ensemble SHEVA.
Amir and I played an impromptu evening of music together at a house concert in Byron, then a few days later we decided to meet late at night to make an outdoor recording, taking advantage of the balmy, warm evening. We set up some mics in Amir’s beautiful hillside garden under a starry sky. There was no audience - just the moon, the stillness of the trees and the sounds of the night ...the chirupping of the insects in the background adding another dimension as they seem to be weave into the music. We played deep into the night, and from those recordings come these two tracks River of Stars and Isra, which is a Sufi term for the supersensible and dimensional travel by night.

Isra

The melody for this song came to me in early 2017 but it wasn’t until I shared it with several songleading colleagues in one big epic improvisation at Village Fire 2018 that it came into its fullness. This song odyssey co-creation honors our ancestors and everything that has come before so we can be here now, weaving our hands into our world.

Original song by Lisa G. Littlebird. (Great thanks to many of the harmony lines that were born of the creative genius of Aimee Ringle, Te Martin, Josh Blaine, Laurence Cole & Annie Zylstra, among others.) ©Lisa G. Littlebird 2018

We Are The Love That Came Before Us

When We Come Into Our Calling

This is a teaching recording for a four-part (advanced level) round about the birthday of the trees, the holiday of Tu B'Shevat.

This song has four parts to honor the four levels of fruit and their symbolism present at the seder.

Written in 2018, at the Round House bath tub Tu B'Shevat seder. 

Lyrics
Part I:
The birthday of the trees, of the life that fills our needs
No matter where we are, we are breathing
The birthday of the trees, of the life that fills our needs
No matter where we are, the branches swinging

Part II:

We are hard, we are soft.
Our cores are strong, our hearts aloft

Part III:

Oh the land, what a gift!
community, we fight for this
With roots in ground, and hearts in sky
the seasons turn, we try and try

Part IV:
There is something we don't know
We use this to feed our souls
