This song came to me while I was performing a 1:1 sound healing session. I originally only sang it a capella, but the singing bowls were an obvious addition once I had a full set and was able to develop the chords of the song. When I decided this would be on the album, I knew I wanted to produce it as an ambient and psychedelic sonic experience. When I reached out to my college professor Dave Hartl (he's on BandCamp! Check out his music!) to get a recommendation for a synth player who would want to work on the project, I was thrilled to hear he wanted to work on it himself. This is a song for headphones and meditation. Take your time with this one. Allow it to transport you to our ancestors, the stars. (And stay tuned for the Dolby mix!)
lyrics
Sitting on the edge of the Universe
Staring at the stars
I glimpse, for a moment, the energy
That is the power of Love
Sitting on the edge of the galaxy
Staring at the swirl
I glimpse, for a moment, the gravity
That is the power, unfurled
Sitting on the edge of Jupiter
Staring at the Earth
I glimpse, for a moment, the water
That is the source of our birth
Sitting on the edge of a mountain
Staring at the Moon
I glimpse, for a moment, the reflection
That is the power of Light
Sitting on the edge of the Moon
Staring at the Sun
I glimpse, for a moment, the Fire
That is the power, all as One
Sitting on the edge of the Sun
Staring at the stars
I glimpse, for a moment, my family
That shine with the power of Love
