Miracle

Miracle For thousands of generations, humanity has been waiting for some kind of miracle to rescue us from all the hardships we have experienced and have created for ourselves. But some say the miracle has been there inside of us all along. This song is a reminder of our own power and our responsibility to use it collectively and wisely.

Storm

From the dawn of humanity we’ve been nurtured and protected by nature and the beauty of the world that surrounds us. Lately we’ve been going through some growing pains and causing damage to the very force that gave us life. This is both a lullaby and a wakeup call. Heartfelt vocals convey both sides of the story, supported by emotional performances on the violin and harp, over a powerful backing track that takes us from innocence to experience.
