about

How fitting to have my first all-female collaboration fall within the month of March, National Women's Month in the U.S. It was such an easy joy working with Faerytale (Lisa West), and this graceful experience restores my faith that SC collaborations need not involve ego-driven drama or bully game-playing.

Lisa is such a great talent, as everyone who hears her is already well aware. She has graced my guitar+ improv track [see description under instrumental version] with poetic lyrics and a lead vocal here that is in turns earthy rich and airy ethereal. Earth and Heaven and The Gracewaters of March all rolled into an elemental 3 minutes 39.

lyrics

Gracewater Waltz Lyrics
by Lisa West [Faerytale]

Brushing reeds, unruly things!
Move aside that I may see the sky!
Lily pads frame this form
Nodding in their approval, noble things!
Respecting the solemn presence of my passing,
The clouds are pierced by golden shafts
Swords, spears, thrusting through
The fragile clothes of that naked, blue sky
I reach for, but cannot touch,
So I settle myself in this place
The water carries me with grace
Its current extols my heart and body
Its warmth holds me by the waist
I hold the light in one hand
As we sway in a dance of grace
