Sovereignty
(Devon 2014)
This song came after a night around the fire in Sky’s Sprouts’ lodge, feeling connected to something ancient and remembering I have a choice as to how I live my life.
Making the video for this song was a series of one unexpected, treacherous, yet enlivening adventure after another. One day I’d love to share the whole story of four days up on Dartmoor with cars breaking down, £4000 drones getting stuck in trees, slow blizzards and wading through ice cold rivers!

Angels of light
Carry me, oh carry me Angels of light The path of freedom’s flight So take my growing dream Winds of music plant the seed Ever changing tides below us Song-lines running deep Chorus: Rise up sun now within us all River of love flow through my soul Ancient ways learned from the earth A new day dawning, a bright new birth Here we are humanity Choosing how our change will be Standing strong in our sovereignty Angels of peace Heal the mind quieten the seas Angels of peace Weaving song-lines through the leaves Turning seasons, shadow falling Silent valley, deepest breathing White water ever calling Calling to the heart Chorus x 2 Musicians Susie Ro – Vocals Michael Stanton – Guitar James Watts – Mbira & Arminian Duduk Rowan Sterk – Percussion Allan Kerr – Congas Misha Mullov-Abboda – Double bass |
