My new single is out now on all major platforms. “Healing Hearts” was written after months of experiencing grief, and the lovingness that can arise when anticipating, experiencing and recovering from a great loss.
The single is the first release from the British folk group I formed while living in South East Asia. At one point, I noticed that every step of the creative process was barefoot: I had written the song at the beach, first performed a version at a cacao ceremony, and then once in the studio everyone was barefoot. That’s normal in Bali, but, nevertheless, means we are Barefoot Stars!
The recording features Vasudev playing guitar and mandolin, with myself, Mia and Hara singing, and Adam on bass. He and I produced and mixed the track.
If you like the song, then please share in social media, play it at gatherings, and consider a donation to the Bekandze Farm crowdfund (which ends next week)!
The lyrics and chords follow below.
Healing Hearts by the Barefoot Stars
Let’s (C)hold each other (Am)gently
Each other (Em)gently
In our (C)hearts
Let’s (C)hold each other (Am)gently
Each other (Em)gently
As we (Am)part
As this (Dm)song… is not the (G)last
And new (Dm)love… grows in what’s (G)past
Becoming (Dm)whole… is made of (G)parts
So what (Dm)ends… is the (G)start
Of Healing (C)hearts
Of Healing (G)hearts
Of Healing (Am)hearts
Of Healing (F)hearts
Of Healing (C)hearts
Of Healing (G)hearts
Of Healing (Am)hearts
Of Healing (F)hearts
