Album Notes

“Tracey Farrell is not a typical musician or singer/songwriter. She is not musically trained, plays no instrument and has a limited understanding of musical structure. The prayer/songs that are recorded here are inspirations that moved through her – that fell to Earth through the channel that is Tracey. Because of this, we are gifted with pieces of music that are extra-ordinary and unique - simple melodies with haunting, mystical qualities that linger in the heart and soul of the listener. Building music around these pearls has been challenging, exhilarating and rewarding. Enjoy the following description from Tracey as she shares the process that resulted in this collection of songs.” - Dennis Gaumond, Bhadra Collective (www.bhadra.ca)

“These songs are a response to various elated, blissful and emancipated moments. They are a fluid expression, like pouring liquid glorious colors through me into existence. Some respond to changes of season and personal direction, unusual skies and precious sacred experiences. Others reflect moments of rapture and awe, when I was feeling deliciously vibrant. Some represent delightfully playful times.

One of the songs bubbled into existence while reading a popular biblical story, while another is my version of a well-known prayer, which some people describe as ‘cradling the universe’. Another flowed with sweetness while thinking of a special friend with whom I meditated for many years. One of the songs, ‘Misty Haze’, was written by my mother. Although I heard it only a few times as a child, I still remember her singing it with my eldest sister." - Tracey Farrell
