There is a subliminal healing that underpins the melodies and ambiences that form the structure of Songbird. In meditation allow yourself to float freely with the flow of the track, let the space within the music be the space within your creativity, continuing forever – eternal.
I have approached the arrangement of Songbird in much the same way as Butterfly and using similar instrument sounds, only this time conveying a much broader soundscape. I am becoming consciously aware of tonal colour and its uses.
Released in 1988.
Three months ago our seven year old son Leon was involved in a dreadful bike accident. He was rushed to the Starship hospital intensive care unit with severe head injuries. After being on life support for 2 days he remained in a semi-coma for the following 4 to 5 days. Leon had fractured his skull in two places and his brain had taken a terrible bruising.
We were told by the hospital staff not to expect Leon to make a very quick recovery and reading books on head injuries confirmed the slow process toward recovery. We learnt that Leon would need to be as calm and relaxed as possible when he became fully conscious because of the severe headaches concussion causes.
We decided to use our “Songbird” tape and we played it non-stop during his coma.
He recovered miraculously and during his waking moments he asked for the tape to be played rather than us talking with him.
Leon has no noticeable after effects from his injury and is now back at school.
One major change in him however is that he can’t sleep at night without his “Songbird” tape.
I have lived with your music for the past five years and recently underwent fairly major surgery. I would like to thank you again from my heart for your gift of music. Both Butterfly and Songbird have been played constantly during my recovery. I am sure that their calmness has contributed to my recovery. They have kept me company – especially around the times when I have not felt very good.
I just had to write and tell you that your music is so beautiful. I listen to your tapes every day. The last thing I hear at night when I go to sleep is your music. My favourite is Songbird . . .
My favourite relaxing music. I use for my massage clients. First heard it at yoga class. Has electronic keyboard new age music and birdsong, gurgling streams, bush, forest sounds. beautiful.
Music designed as an accompaniment for an inner journey meditation.
A completing energy that draws to the heart, the realisation of our true soul-purpose and the freedom to be who we really are.
An uplifting energy and yet a feeling of melancholy at the same time.
