Album Notes

Conceptual Artist, Daniel Dancer has been writing and singing songs since he was a youngster working with metaphor to help us raise our sights, broaden our steps and see what is truly happening on this beautiful planet. When Adam East and Kris Deelane came into his life, he fell in love with their music (see: www.sweetjuice.com) and invited them to play at one of his Art For the Sky events called The Dove In in Portland before the Iraq War. In the process he learned they had their own recording studio and over the next two years, recorded all the tunes on Wild is the Way. Since they knew all the best musicians in town, he was able to not only capitalize on the excellent singing and vast musical talents of Adam and Kris themselves, but also the best sax, violin, cello and lap steel players in the region!

All the songs are Mystery inspired, (with a little Neil Young thrown in) and are met to be a song track to getting our act together as a species quickly! Some have a pow wow kind of beat drawing from his affinity with the Indian people of this land and his own precious little bit of Mohawk blood. All the tunes might be considered the soundtrack to his book, Desperate Prayers: A Quest For Sense in a Senseless Time and his work as a conceptual artist creating giant living paintings made of people with schools and communities across the land (see: www.artforthesky.com).

The band name "SkySight" was chosen to reflect the topic of several of the songs and his work in general which is about awakening our "skysightedness" . . . learning to see the world not only from above, but through the eyes of all beings. This album is guaranteed to help you raise your sights and see the Grand Design. Reflecting the ethic which runs through his music, the CD package is state of the art Earth Friendly . . no plastic, recyled box, etc.. The CD's orignial art depicts Takaya, The Goddess of Synchronicity bringing back the wild at the edge of the apocalypse . . . a theme which runs through several of the album's songs.
