I AM IN THE PROCESS OF GATHERING NEW SONGS AND MUSICAL BASE FOR SINGING AND IMPROVISING TOGETHER
 
Songs
- reaching deeper into our humanness and wisdom of earth
- into higher connection with heart & spirit
- reaching outwards to heal our relations, inspirit our vision 
- songs & sounding of humour & celebration  
 
FURTHER DOWN MUSIC FOR MOVING & LISTENING
- that calls the body, the spirit 
 
This list is far from embracing the spectrum.
I invite you to bring in what moves and reminds you!
 
 
 
MUSIC FOR THE VOICE
This is the Voice - The Voice I have
Carries the Fire - The Fire I am
Feel the Power - The Power I give
This is the Life - The Life I bring

THE WAY KNOWS. Original song by Lyndsey Scott
 
Lyrics
You don’t have to know the way
the way knows the way
You don’t have to plan the way
Trust the way, feel your way
The way knows

NÅR JEG DANSER BÅLET - nanajacobi er 'deep ecology'.
Mange af os har travlt med fortællinger om verdens undergang - her er en anden slags, som for mig er sand på en helt grundlæggende måde
En ny midsommer sang, som har ramt mit væsens natur.
 
 
LITTLE BLUE by Jacob Collier, who has an amazing flow of energy in his music.
This song is a favourite..
 
 
ASHES AND SMOKE by Linda Allen
learned around the fire (not this one:-)
 
 
Lyrics:

We have been burned, burned by the fire
And we are ashes, ashes and smoke
But we will rise, higher and higher
On the wings of compassion, justice and hope

PUT YOUR ROOTS DOWN here performed by Thrive Choir.
A community singing chant composed by Molly Hartwell
 
Put your roots down, put your feet on the ground.
Can you hear what she says when you listen?
 
Cause the sound of the river as it moves across the stoneI
is the same sound as the blood in your body
as it moves across your bones.
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
 
 
FAMILY MISSION STATEMENT performed by Beautiful Chorus
- written by Emmaline Carroll Southwell and Alexandra Love
 
Lyrics:
 
If you look or sound unique, trans, or gay
I love and respect you, every single day
I speak up for what’s right and help those when they need
I follow intuition, it’s the path that I lead

I nurture my soul, my body, and my mind
I am learning, to myself I’ll be kind
If I need help I'll ask, it’s a brave thing to do
And if we disagree I can still have love for you

I’ll forever do my best, explore, enjoy, and play
I’ll take it step by step, and I’ll rest along the way
Who I am is who I’m meant to be
I accept myself unconditionally

Loving thoughts, loving words, loving heart on this day
I am loved and I am safe
Loving thoughts, loving words, loving heart on this day
Life is great, Hip Hip Oh Yay

 
WE SHALL BE KNOWN written by Karisha Longaker of MaMuse
Here performed by Thrive Choir - now WildChoir

Lyrics

We shall be known by the company we keep
by the ones who circle round to tend these fires

We shall be known by the ones who sow and reap
the seeds of change alive from deep within the earth

It is time now
It is time now that we thrive
It is time we lead ourselves into the well
It is time now, and what a time to be alive
In this great turning we shall learn to lead in love
In this great turning we shall learn to lead in love
 
 
ROLL THE OLD CHARIOT here by David Coffin.
 
Just for the fun of singing our guts out..
 
 
SURRENDER by Alexia Chellun
meditative confirmation
 
I surrender
I let go
I surrender
I let go

I surrender to my higher being
I surrender to my truth
I surrender to my higher being
I surrender to my truth

I surrender my fear
I surrender my guilt
I surrender to harmony
I'm at ease and complete
 
 
THE KEEP GOING ON SONG by Abigail and Shaun Bengson
- @thebensons
 
They made this during the pandemic.
The basics can be used for our own talk'n'sing impro.
It opened my eyes to their heart touching repertoire..
 
 
THE POWER IS HERE NOW by Alexia Chellun
meditative, confirming
 
The power of love is here now
The power of now is here now
The power of you and me is here
To create magic on earth

Let the water wash away your tears
Let the fire burn away your fears
Let the wind blow into your life such faith and trust, oh
Let the earth hold you, take care of you and nurture you, oh
 
 
BEAUTIFUL DAY by Aykanna
lyrics and rhytms goes right in my blood and lights it up.
 
Lyrics:
 
Today, must be, the most beautiful day I ever lived
Waves are coming in, but I am sitting still 
There ain't nothing I want for, I've got everything that I need
So my conclusion is, it's the most beautiful day that I ever lived

This special morning, is the most fabulous morning I've seen
Woke up in the sunshine, made myself a cup of tea
Grandpa kissed my forehead, grateful for another day
Such simple harmony to me, it's the universe's way

Today, must be, the most beautiful day I ever lived
Waves are coming...

In the noontime, I'll take a walk, feeling all and all that I am
Flowing with the rivers of life
Trusting every woman, boy, girl, or man
'Cause I am the flowers, I am the sun, I am everything that you see
Living in perfect harmony, in a beautiful world made for me

Today, must be, the most beautiful day I ever lived...

Oh, such a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day
 
  
RETURN AGAIN - Jewish Hymn

return to the land of your soul

of it all
