Name: Name of the Wind
Duration: P00H03M33S
Description: "Name of the Wind came from a moment of being on the California coast and seeing a whale out in the ocean. We had a song prompt that week, to create a wind lullaby. So as I watched the whale, and felt the wind rushing in my ears, I listened. And the notes of the chorus came through clearly, very literally on the wind as it whistled against my ears." ~ Ayla Nereo

lyrics

Rest your body my love
Beside the ocean waves
Let your breathing tides
Come in and wash away

Hear the song whispering
Upon the name of the wind
Hear the voice of the ancient ones
Who swim ever within

It seems cliché to pick Catalyst as my favorite track since it is the first on the album (and the whole album as a flow is so so good) but it is a phenomenal and inspiring call to action that is needed in these most challenging times. blessicananda
