This is just me wondering about different types of energy and a multi-dimensional existence.
It is definitely a more experimental style for me and the melody line really tested my vocal skills! I would love for this to include more instruments in the future, like piano, bass, maybe some orchestral treatment... who knows? An instrumental coda at the end would be great ... I can dream!
What if there is more to me
Beyond my skin and bones
A hum beyond my own voice
A secret seldom shown
Could we rise
Close our eyes
Could we dream on high?
What if there's a hidden realm
Known to precious few
Connecting us like fairy lights
Giving us a different view
Could we rise
Close our eyes
Could we dream on high?
What if we began to trust
The murmurs deep inside
Would we speak another language
Feel no fear to hide
Could we rise
Close our eyes
Could we dream on high?

This is so beautiful. The rhythm feels just right for that contemplative wondering while wandering. I love the language and the lilting harmonies and the strings on top of the banjo and then than open-ended-ending.

This song is perfect!!! I love that gentle banjo picking and your voice is beautiful! Add those excellent lyrics and you have something stunning and wonderful! What a treat this is!

Beautiful! Great sounds, the strings are just perfect as they swell in, and the little turn at the end of the chorus melody creates a ton of interest. Nice one.

Some really great lines in here ("a hum beyond my own voice" / "connecting us like fairy lights" are personal favourites). I love how the arrangement builds up over the song with the violins.
@headfirstonly Feb 2022
What wonderful questions to ask. This is a lovely, gentle song, and those violins really set the tone of the piece. The abrupt ending was a surprise; I was rather hoping that this would go on for another few verses...

This is my favourite from you this year. Much more contemporary which I think shows off your voice and talent on the strings. Those harmonies with multiple string layers are just divine. Such a beautiful song. Had to listen twice.

I really liked this. The melody worked so very well with the banjo. Yes, we should dream!
@bigmood Feb 2022
I looooove this melody. The rise of the verse and the unexpected rhythm, the flat three chord that totally works somehow.
And the strings that come in second verse, you're killing me! Ahh this is so good. I love how you switch it up to pizz in the third v, and bring back the bow, it's really good arranging. And to leave it hanging at the end! Damn girl!
