REVIEWS for the Music CD
If you wonder how the songs sound like, or what they are about, here are some excellent reviews that describe each song:
Review for Butterfly Girl:
"A soothing and playful lullaby story with dreamy acoustic strings. It is about a "butterfly girl" or fairy, who has the gift of gentle touch to heal people's wounds."
--Review at Amazon
Review for Coral Reef Queen:
"There is complexity in the simplicity and smoothness of this song. The music and vocals flow like water, yet it has depth and range. The story expands and transports over the oceans waves, to the coral reefs of the world, and asks the question of 'Where did we come from?"
--Review at Amazon
Review for Fingerprints:
"This song reminded me of flamenco sounds, or playing guitar by a bonfire with friends. It is robust and folksy. It makes you tap your feet to the rhythms. It has a happy sound but it also has a profound message. The story is about noticing how we can't tell religion, color, cultures, politics or morality from the simple fact that our fingerprints have the same legacy: we are all part of humanity. You can't tell from our fingerprints, who is good or who is bad. It also asks the question, "What imprint will you make on your world?"
--Review at Amazon
Review for People of Color:
"A well balanced, jazzy number on the subject of people and colors of skin. Lovely gentle vocals and acoustic guitar."
--Review at Amazon
Review for Quiet Heroes:
"There is a longing to this song with echoes of sadness. It also has classical undertones and lifting sounds. The subject is about heroes, the quiet ones we don't usually hear about in the news. Not the famous ones, but the ordinary heroes. It could be a human, an animal, a plant, any creature. The ones that through a kind word or helping hand make a difference in our lives. Through the maze of life, through despair or strife, the song goes-- there will always be a hero outhere."
--Review at Amazon
Review for Shapes:
"This song brought memories of when my kids were little. Playful, circle time for adults and their children. Clapping sounds and playtime, while introducing the shapes found around us. Everything has a shape and if you look a little deeper, there is also the fact that we shouldn't care what shape it is-- because substance is what really counts."
--Review at Amazon
Review for Song of the Mustang:
"Classical, ethereal tones. Another lullaby, with the story about wild mustang horses and the importance of preserving wildlife. I wish this was longer as it was a very relaxing number."
--Review at Amazon
Review for Wings on the Wind:
"An ethereal sound to this number, trance like, it reminds me of medieval chants. Good for meditation or yoga. I only wish it was longer, but it definitely takes you to a far away memory: the joy of riding a horse, of being one with it and taking flight."
