about

For my daughter with love.

This is a song about a parents love. Parenting isn't always easy, but even so it is a beautiful process. This track speaks to a time nurturing an older child. The time when they are finding themselves, the transition from their younger years to young adulthood. It also refers to generations of maternal love, changing times, and learning to be strong and safe in this world we have.

lyrics

Maternal

Take my hand
Make a stand
Trust me your mother,
In my maternal land

Always here
Always near
I'll hold your worries
In me dear
Till your wings full are grown
And you have flown...

You'll fly fly ..... away x2

Reach with me
Ride with me
And all will be open
You will see
The sea is wide
The sky is high
Find yourself a star where you hide,
until your ready for your bounty and
You'll shine on the tide

Show who you are
Smile and go far
You light the world up with your fire,
like a bright beauteous star.
Shining your bounty from afar.

Take my hand my dear,
Help to change our land,
protecting our loved ones
The a younger ones in our hands.

Take my hand
Make the stand
Trust me your mother,
Until you can let go your hand.

And you'll fly

about

SamandSound UK

Enjoying a musical drive to weave beautiful sound. I have arrived in a genre all of its own by using unusual instruments like Viola, Native American Flute, Handpan, N'Goni, stick dulcimer, and vocals all intertwined, I hope to create an atmosphere and musical description of a moment, story or journey.
Creating bespoke music for purpose.
Above all to open and allow an emotion.
