The Forest Song is a song that, to me, sounds like standing in the middle of a sunny forest clearing with the wind rustling in the leaves while being in awe of the immense power and love of nature and realizing that we ourselves are indeed nature. And that this is where we might be finding the answers we are all looking for.
For that reason I wanted to keep the song as natural as possible and used my vocals instead of instruments.

Must be the season of the witch ;)

Lyrics:

Like the fallen leaves on my skin
I feel freedom
I feel save
Don’t you worry
It’s gonna be good
We got the leaves
We are the roots

We got the wind
Whispering all the answers
We got the wind

Like the falling leaves
We can fly
One last flight
Before the river runs dry
Don’t you worry
It’s gonna be good
We are the leaves
We are the roots

Wild, wild is the wind
Listen to the wind
Whispering all the answers
We got the wind
Wild is the wind
Whispering all the answers
We got the wind
