about

Let the Drum Tell You is about shamanic drumming. It's about connecting with the elements, finding that transcendental place from where healing happens. It's about the drum as both an instrument and a teacher and healer.

In mid October 2017 I was in need of some healing and processing of a series of unpleasant events in recent months. I woke up in the night whilst I was having a dream in which a dear friend was playing a gigantic frame drum that had animal bones tied all around it. As I was remembering the dream I could feel this song coming so I grabbed the guitar and wrote words and music simultaneously.

We normally play it live in a stripped down fashion with just the frame drum, guitar and our voices. However for this production I chose to enhance the epic nature I feel underlies the track. The frame drum and the djembe are still the pulse and heartbeat but alongside guitar and vocals I created many layers of rhythmic and ethereal sounds to create a colourful tapestry.

I wish for this song to bring you healing and be of support to you in your practises and your lives.

Many blessings and good health to one and all

lyrics

Beat! Beat! Beat on the drum! x4

The Earth is dancing
The Sky is singing
The bells within your heart
Are ringing Love

The Earth is dancing
The Sky is singing
The Light within your mind
Is bringing Love

Beat! Beat! Beat on the drum!
Let the spirits of power dance in the sky
Let the animals come and show you the beauty
That Earth is our Mother, our blessing, our duty

Beat! Beat! Beat on the drum!
Let the waves of the ocean show you their might
Let the movement of tides show you the way
Through the mystery of life as you move through each state

Beat! Beat! Beat on the drum!
Feel as high as a mountain
Look all around
See the presence that lives in each being, each sound
Up in the sky and deep in the ground

The Earth is dancing
The Sky is singing
The Light within your mind
Is bringing Love

They are healing us
We are healing them
They take care of us
We take care of them


Beat! Beat! Beat on the drum!
Beat! Beat! Let the drum tell you x4


The story you already know
That all is one and one is all
And even though one can do wrong
Forgiveness is ready you learn and you grow x3 (let go/move on)


The Earth is dancing
The Sky is singing
The bells within your heart
Are ringing Love

The Earth is dancing
The Sky is singing
The Light within your mind
Is bringing Love
