A W A K E N I'm sitting out quietly On the front verandah With the setting sun, the dusky pink orange Feeling the love vibrating in every single particle of air In the crickets hum, in the birdsong In the rustle of breeze pulsing thru my veins, My blood, Changing my body structure Subtle. The golden sun sinking The huge full moon rising The last of the sunlight Aching its way thru the pink fur on my window Flooding the room blue tinge crimson This oneness, this stillness, this union Satiating my desire to package up the dusk. The birdsong. The warm early fall nite Wrap it up with the soft skin, Tie it up with a strand of my salty hair Seal it, send it to you. In my belly butterflies Effervescence, exploding out of my mouth Fluid, liquid I can feel it, laying on the sea Spreading thru my body, washing thru me As wave returns to ocean. Return to the source. Two entitites reconnected after a long time apart Who recognize once again the Beauty in each other And a new friend like a star Is born. Love melting thought Everything is sacred Being alone, being still Making it possible to be together Awaken, let it awaken Nerve juice, blood juice, sex juice sweat equals Life juice On a nite like tonite I cannot go there without love

@whitenymphwaterlily 6 years ago Lyrics are here :) How come it’s you i want to talk to when all the chips are down when all the lights are out along this street just some sparkling on the horizon out in deep blue water guiding the ship into harbour and how comes its you i want to talk to when all the change is happening in the radical and in the middle now between simplicity and complexity what happens there you came knocking opening opening opening opening BIG HEALING this feels like and how come you’re there even when its 3 o’clock in the afternoon my time and how come i get over my fear just by being able to express nearly exactly exactly how i feel and you perceive it so well so good this feels like big healing i am amazed at the lack of judgement here and it travels fast this feels like big healing It travels fast and in this trust and simplicity complexity healing healing in expression this feels like big healing this feels like big healing and it travels fast Healing in expression

(from "Untie Me" album) Vocals by Sophie Moleta - words from thich nhat hahn’s poem ‘untitled’ from his book “teachings on love” - p. parallax press, berkley, ca everything being rock, being gas, being mist, being mind, being the mesons travelling among the galaxies at the speed of light, you have come here, my beloved, and your blue eyes shine, so beautiful, so deep you have taken the path traced for you from the non -beginning and the never- ending. you say that on your way here you have gone through many millons of births and deaths. innumerable times you have been transformed into firestorms in outer space. you have used your own body to measure the age of the mountains and the rivers. you have manifested yourself as trees, grass, butterflies, single celled beings, and as chrysanthemums. but the eyes with which you look at me this morning tell me that you have never died. your smile invites me into the game whose beginning no one knows,

about

Three long years years in the making, OVA Records is honored to present to you our latest release, 'Untie Me' by the Artists Sophie Moleta and Holmes Ives. This 10 song Epic melodizes the passion, love and affection that two souls can share. In this intimate communion of music Sophie brings her voice and poetry to the love inspired songs of Ives. This album is pure expression of the heart in it's most vulnerable state when it's truest feelings can flow unbound, unfettered, 'Untied'. 'Only the heart can understand' x Sophie & Ives How it came to be: In the winter of 2002 U.S. based Holmes Ives was introduced to the Kiwi songstress Sophie Moleta . He had heard a song called 'Love Has Come Again'. It was through this song that Ives fell into the muse of Sophie. He contacted her to inquire about doing a remix and in that dialogue a friendship began that soon blossomed into a loving crush. In those tenderest of moments in the nucleus of that moment, the song 'Awaken' was born. To Ives 'Awaken' represented the transformation from the noise and chaos of the lost heart to the euphony it's strings make when the heart finds that which all hearts desire... Once 'Awaken' was completed Ives sent his composition through the mail 12,000 miles away to Sophie in Australia. Unknown to Ives was that Sophie took his song, sat with it for days and worked with it weaving her poetry and voice into it's fabric. It was through these musically rendered love letters that 'Untie Me' emerged and it was through these songs that the lovers could unite and traverse the distance, cross the ocean and make love through music. The two tried to meet one another in person but as struggling artists they could not get the funds together to make the long journey. After 10 months without even a kiss the letters and music could no longer sustain the passions and for the sake of their hearts they had to let go. But this body of work remains and like a window to the heart, 'Untie Me' gives us an intimate musical communion of the love that exists all around us, woven into the leaves and the trees and in the currents of oceans. It is the universal tie that keeps all life bound together and Sophie & Ives have given us a glimpse of it through these songs. 'However fleeting their time together, Sophie and Ives' lush body of work remains as an abiding, penetrative witness to their union. 'Untie Me' is a sensitive, sophic portrayal of love at it's most intrinsic. ' -Larry Kraman Newport Classics.
