Voices

infamousfiddler "Voices" is transcendent. It makes me want to sing, makes me want to send the lyrics (with credit, of course) to my loved ones so they know how I feel when I hear their voices, because I don't think I could ever say it so eloquently.

lyrics

When I worry I have nothing new to say
I go and ask the ocean
with her everchanging song
and she says oh, my daughter--
do it anyway.
I have listened just a while
I have sung so very long
But when you sing with me
it’s something I have never heard before
the ringing of the rocks
around the waves upon the shore

There is a voice that wakes the water in your veins
And brings to life all breathing things

It shifts and shapes, it moves and makes, it bends and breaks
And takes its place here
Forevermore

When I fear that I am drifting in the dark
I look out to the stars,
alone and shining distantly
And they say oh, my darling,
hold on to your spark
what you touch is changed forever
though you may not always see
But from the highest places, all your hidden colors show
The fire in your eyes will set the universe aglow

There is a brightness that surrounds you like the dawn
And it goes on and on and on

And love creates the light that takes a human shape
Its ways to wander
Itself to know.

I could listen to Lauren sing forever. Her writing is vivid and sensitive, sweetly and painfully human--never apologizing for sharp corners and rough edges. The beauty of her spirit shines through. Summer Russell

This is a wonderful recording. For a live recording the quality is amazing. The vocal balance with voice and piano is perfect. I very much enjoyed the stories between the songs, they enriched the meaning of the songs. Anyone who is interested in mythology and a wonderful story teller who does so with music, this is for you Kathleen SLOAN
