Search - Michael Meade :: A Song is a Road

A Song is a Road offers a collection of traditional songs used by Michael Meade and Mosaic at healing retreats and community-building events. Each of these songs began somewhere long ago and each remains a timeless road that can open up new territories for the human heart and soul. These are songs of longing, grief and praise; they are chants in the old sense of enchantments that can take us to places we might not be able to go otherwise. The ancient idea was that a song can carry what words alone fail to express and also that a song can transport us to the otherworld where healing, restoration and renewal can be found. When chanted for a period of time the song itself becomes a ritual that can intensify one s presence and deepen the soul. In troubled times there is a greater need for community-calling, heart-opening songs that can take us home. As Michael Meade says, If you know songs of this kind, you are never alone in this world :: Songs Include: Azima, Pura Sa Meni, Awe Awe, Nene, Azisona and Kanaro :: CD Length, 75 min
