Breath I Breathe

Cotton & Sage

"The foundation of Wild Sweet was born out of a loop pedal improv on a New Year's sunrise set at a small festival many years ago. But the song was fully written during our recording process together in Asheville. Each of us was tasked with bringing two original songs to record. While I had a few options of lullabies to bring, and even started recording 1 of them, I felt something else wanting to come through. Tina encouraged me to keep searching and in the wee midnight hours, I rediscovered this melody from the archives of my recordings. One of our songwriting prompts during our group mastermind had been ‘polishing an old gem’, so I dove into polishing this song seed. The lyrics came swiftly, inspired by the energy of being in the cocoon of staying at home during lockdown, as well as the cocoon of our songwriting immersion, and the magic of recording this album together. It was the final song to be written during this cycle of our collective song-catching journey and captures the essence of what we were gathering. Wild Sweet sings to the emergence of widened wings after a deep season of rest, just as humanity is re-emerging into a new season of becoming." ~ Ayla Nereo

Cradle

Wild Sweet

This song, written by Tina Malia, is based on the title of the upcoming album, Cradle, out February 2023. It is languid and warm, meant to hold the listener in the feeling of home. It is a winter song with the spirit of the holidays within.

Whispers 

Pine, I am calling to you
Aspen, I am singing to you
Redwood, hear this song
Birch-bark, weeping willow
and Dogwood, blooming moonlight
Cedar, let it fall, fall away
Oak, you bore my body
Bay,  I bade you open these vessels…

To receive your whispers 
tender breath-keepers
givers of life to these lungs 
may I open my ears and
surrender
what can you tell me
how can I tend you
how can I tend to the ones 
who pour life through these lungs…

Care for these rivers going dry
bone and sorrow held as
pain, drought of feeling, yet the
rain can give us freedom, forest
rain, but if we cut them, it goes
away, help us
open these vessels…

To receive your whispers 
tender breath-keepers
givers of life to these lungs 
may I open my ears and
surrender
what can you tell me
how can I tend you
how can I tend to the ones 
who pour life through these lungs…

“We, for every one of us you’ve uprooted
you can soothe it by planting another
of the same as the kind you’ve uprooted 
every ending a beginning if you choose it…
you can soothe it…
if you choose it…”
