    In the final production Andy created some beautiful transitions between some tracks. No gap between the waves at the end of om shanti, straight into the whale song... and the chimes from Akash come in at the end of Gayatri.

Take off your blindfold, look around Open your ears, and hear the sound Of the earth turning Oh ooh, earth turning Take off your mask let them see your face Know that you belong in this space And listen to your hearts yearning Oh ooh earth turning Open your eyes open wide 'Cos there is no need to hide There’s beauty here for you to see It’s time to set your vision free Loose your chains, break down your walls Don’t be afraid, to take a fall You’ll keep on learning Oh ooh earth turning Open your eyes open wide 'Cos there is no need to hide There’s beauty here for you to see It’s time to set your vision free Take off your blindfold, look around Open your ears, and hear the sound Of the earth turning Ooh oh, earth turning Ooh oh, earth turning Ooh oh, earth turning Ooh oh, earth turning

With a lions heart she steps into the unknown Fear dissolving, nothing left but now Spirit is coming home Mmmm she’s coming home Spread your wings and fly And I will watch over you Hand on your shoulder I’m right by your side I’ll be watching over you Time now to let go Time now to say goodbye Shed your form now, just like a butterfly I’m coming up behind Mmmm I’m right behind my friend Spread your wings and fly And I will watch over you Hand on your shoulder I’m right by your side I’ll be watching over you Time passes, wearing out all clocks The agony of love and the ecstasy of pain As all that we hold, slips through our fingers Like cleansing summer rain, we’re holding on in vain Breathing deep again Spread your wings, and fly Spread your wings, and fly Spread your wings fly high And I will watch over you Hand on your shoulder I’m right by your side I’ll be watching over you

Ninderry 05:14
Beneath her loving gaze, I’m unravelling I turn a new page, I’m becoming Something more than who I am Something new Magic mountain, speak to me Magic mountain, Ninderry She called them to her, a new discovery Unexpected treasure they found, a new family One family Magic mountain, speak to me Magic mountain, Ninderry Like slience after rain, peace comes again And my heart is still, knowing together we will Rise above, lift ourselves up, higher & higher now Rise above, lift ourselves up, higher & higher now Rise above, lift ourselves up, higher & higher now Rise above, lift ourselves up Magic mountain, speak to me Magic mountain, Ninderry

about

Namaste friends!

A couple of years ago I shared with some good friends on a sunny new years morning, my intention for the coming year: to ‘undam the musical flow’. In July of 2014 at the completion of a yoga retreat I shared that it was high time I recorded a CD. After years of what felt like holding back the creative flow in order to keep up with demands of the busy-ness of ‘life’, the floodgates were finally opened! This album, my debut, is a testament to the potency of setting an intention, being witnessed and having so much support along the way…

Acknowledgements & thanks!

To Andy, Imogen & Lilybel…. So blessed to have met you and for the musically inspired friendships which have ensued! Andy your talent and attention to detail is evident in the final product… you should be proud! Very grateful to have found you. Love your work!
Imi – those beautiful harmonies! So blessed to have your harmonious input to find the layers in the vocals and sing alongside me and for bringing your choir too! Lilybel, can't wait to hear your first recording! Thank you both for walking me through it. Big love!

Haitch – my brother from another mother! Thanks for you gentle encouragement to send me on my way, for the kick in the pants when I need it most and for your creative & musical contributions. LOVE!

Thanks to Kevin James, Lulu & Mischka, Prem & Jethro (Sacred Earth) and Daphne Tse for blazing the trail and encouraging me to find my own authentic offering. Big gratitude for your inspiration and your support!

To my darling friends Sherrelle, Karen, Tina, Brian, Gwyn & Gaia, my folks and my family… thanks for being such great cheerleaders!

To Ange Hammond for a beautiful website, sven for the perfectly timed very clever artwork and Robyn Mill for such artistic photography. Special thanks to those who pledged in the crowd funding campaign – SO GRATEFUL!

Biggest thanks goes to my partner Ross for your support on the project, for keeping the home fires burning while I have been trekking back and forth to the studio and for your infinite love and encouragement. Love and thanks to you ALL!
