Dream Songs: “The Instrument You Are”
This song, “The Instrument You Are” came to me on one of the hundreds of days spent on the Sonoma Coast. The song celebrates our life’s journey as a melody, played by our body/mind/spirits during our lifetime….and the many opportunities we have to repeat the Song again and again, as we “enter singing” into each new incarnation. We are here to embrace each lifetime’s journey, to follow the signs that lead to growth and unity, and repeat – if needed – until we move to the higher density of love and understanding.
Dream Songs: “Casting”
Every song comes to me in its own way. “Casting” began as a simple, beautiful melody that I found myself playing on my guitar, almost without thinking. This melody became a meditation for me; each night, I would ask for the lyrics to come to me in my dreams. One night, they did. The dream scenes played out like a movie, with the melody as the soundtrack. When I woke, I wrote down the lyrics that vividly described these dream scenes, and they became the song, “Casting.”
Video: Fireflies
What a joyful experience to write and record this song, which features a wonderful string quartet arrangement by guitarist Dave MacNab. The video I created uses actual firefly footage that’s beautiful to behold. These tiny beacons Light our way on the path to the source of All that Is…all we can do is follow and try to hold their glow, gently, in our hands and in our hearts.
Song: I Think You Do
This song, “I Think You Do,” originally written for a wedding many years ago. I recently rediscovered the demo I had recorded (also many years ago) and decided to add it to the new album, “Soul to Soul.” With the involvement of record producer Stuart Epps, drummer Martin Ditcham, and guitarist Dave MacNab, I created this new version. It features Dave’s absolutely gorgeous acoustic guitar solo and Martin’s marvelous drums. Bonus: Stu plays piano on this song.
