about

So very pleased to present this pandemic project! I was lucky to spend time around the Summer Solstice in a pod with the lovely and talented Dolphin-Laprelle family, singing three part harmony, picking black raspberries, and creating the foundation parts for this track! All other musicians were layered on from afar - and more magic was added - to finally present, this extra-sweet, sunshine-infused, Rural Retreat version of "You are the Sun"

lyrics

Today the trees are dripping
Dew drops, like diamonds, I am
The richest woman to ever walk on the earth

And drifting down a forest trail
Beneath my feet the earth exhales
The sweet smell of chamomile
I am in paradise

Oh, you
You are the sun
Stretching the sky like an eye, awakening
You, you are the sun
Spilling your light, liquid light, through the maple leaves
You, you are the sun
The giver of growth
To the seeds that we have sown
I know
So much more
Now that I’m yours

Today, I made a map of
The constellation of your kisses
I glisten more gladly than any gathering
of stars

And your kiss is so delicate,
Like I could shatter into million bits of matter
And we’d spin into the galaxies together, baby,
Never to come down
Never to come down

Oh, you
You are the sun
Stretching the sky like an eye, awakening
You, you are the sun
Spilling your light, liquid light, through the maple leaves
You, you are the sun
The giver of growth
To the seeds that we have sown
I know
So much more
Now that I’m yours

Violet hearts and ferns at my fingertips
Turn to the earth and drink from a spring that drips
Cold, cold
Firefly sparks they light the way til
Birds start in darkness, early to pray
Singing your praise, singing your praise

Oh, you
You are the sun
Stretching the sky like an eye, awakening
You, you are the sun
Spilling your light, liquid light, through the maple leaves
You, you are the sun
The giver of growth
To the seeds that we have sown
I know
So much more
Now that I’m yours
