I wanted to share with you this song I wrote a couple of months ago. It's called "Higher Ground" and it was released as part of 7th Sky magazine's recent edition about emotion. The song was inspired by an article I read by humanitarian Matt George. He was a surfer who turned to saving lives after the tsunami in 2004. I was impressed and humbled by what he does and wrote the song as a tribute to him.
this morning i went out and built a teepee in the dirt for my son's playmobil toys. the sun was shining. i have a stinking cough and feel awful, but the light coming through the trees spoke of good things in store. for all of us. oh, and i have a bag full of songs waiting to be let out. it's gonna happen this year. love to you all heather
greetings from the trade winds in the caribbean where i am at the moment.
just went to buenos aires to shoot a video with ATB for the upcoming single, renegade which i wrote with andre.
something different.
always good to stretch my wings in another direction from time to time. a step outside of my own realm. i enjoy the challenge and the change. i have written 3 songs with him: renegade, stars come out and made of glass all of which will be on his upcoming album, "trilogy".
it was all done long distance - he sent me some backing tracks over the internet, we skyped a bit, and i wrote and recorded over the top. germany - bermuda. it's great to live in these times.
then he persuaded me to fly to buenos aires to make the video. i don't like long flights, but had never been there and was curious...
doing a lot of painting lately in between working on songs and looking after a very energetic 3 year old. there are periods in my life when i feel a strong calling and need to drop everything to follow it. writing the sorrowjoy was like that. i felt compelled to sit down and write that collection of poems within a period of 3 months. a very intense focused time. then of course there are long periods of unfocused time too!
i am currently looking into ways to distribute my records independently in the USA...... so stay tuned.
perhaps a couple of gigs here and there, but i am putting my energy into writing and recording some more music at the moment, so no major tours till later...
meanwhile, thank you for your letters and kind support.
i hope to bring you some more music soon.
