Crack The Sky (Tenor)

Caim :: Scots Gaelic. ("kyem") n. Sancuary; an invisible circle of protection, drawn around the body with the hand, to remind one of being safe and loved, even in the darkest times. 

I was moved to discover a word in my lineage that describes something I've found powerful throughout my life: to draw an invisible circle around the body with the hand for safety and protection in challenging times. 

This song honors my ancestry. I welcome you to sing this song remembering your own roots. Who are your people? What language(s) did they or do they speak? What are the songs of your ancestors?

Melanie DeMore does it again with this potent but sweet directive to remember to STOP and breathe. Melanie's songs are famously simple appearing, but often have little tricky notes or timing in the layered parts and this is no exception. Still, it's one of her easier songs to share and teach. Slow it Down was part of Lisa's 2020 The World We are Dreaming Playlist project, and all contributing artists gave their permission to have their songs from that playlist be added to this library. Individual parts recordings are not yet available for this song.

Song composed by and copyright Melanie DeMore.
