New Recordings / Full Arrangements (1)









WELLNESS PRAYER

Arranged and recorded in a tiny room at a boys boarding school in New Zealand

This is the second
of my experiments in arranging a complete song using Logic Express - this time with the MacBook built-in microphone. The original chant is from the Europe trip (August 21st, 2007) and you can learn more about the song by visiting August 21st, 2007.

LYRICS:

as we sing this prayer
out to the source of life
we're asking for healing
for all of those in need
we offer up our gratitude
for the gifts of health
we have received
and we add this thread to the tapestry
of wellness that we weave

ALONE

...in the same tiny room at the boys boarding school in New Zealand

The intrument on the recording is the Panart Hang (or what I refer to as the UFO). The original chant is from the Europe trip and you can learn more about the song by visiting August 28th, 2007.

LYRICS:

it's a time for introspection
a time for deep reflection
i'm all alone but i'm at home with me
you see

i'm ruminating, taking stock
thinking 'bout my life
i'm settling into solitude
and communing with my muse
