The invention of a love song from the earth to its humans is wonderful…and what an earth. This breaks the mold of political songs.

Sister,

Your enthralling song has haunted my heart ever since I heard you perform this on Cortes Island. And I don’t know that the CEO of Victoria’s Secret will ever be the same after that memorable serenade…

Peace&Solidarity,
Teresa

Hey Vanessa
I’ve got your song on loop, its swaying is very soothing.
Beautiful FridaKahlo-esque image too – roots and eerie stillness and all.

Congradulations on completing the recording!!

BEAUTIFUL! You made me cry at work cuz I can’t keep my emotions in check with such a powerful message being sung so sweetly. Is that Langston on the trumpet?

The need to say, has left and gone.
The Earth sings out nice.
With the amount destruction placed on its scab and her extract. It is not a wonder she is not crying.
She is singing, She is singing. She is singing, and She is singing, She is singing

HI Bernice,

Your project looks wonderful! thanks for your interest in sharing the song with the dancers. Please do.

You can right click on the track or go to the drop down menu under “File” and ‘save page as’ an MP3. et viola!

I just tried it again to make sure it was still funcioning and at first it didn’t and then I left the page and came back, and it did. So. If for some reason it doesn’t work when you try, send me your email and I will email you the file.

It is deeply satisfying to know that the song is doing its work. Thanks for the work you are doing as well.

Warmly,
Vanessa

Warmly,
Vanessa
