Being Brave
This is a breakthrough day for me today, a day where I put my energy and heart out there to the world. I say this because I am being brave and courageous and putting myself out there to the Universe in a different way. I am sharing with you one of the songs I wrote recently for my new Album called “The Becoming of Me”. This is the first time I have ever sang on video with the intent to demonstrate the power and unfolding of making my dreams come true. This passion has indeed been locked inside of me for over 30 years and now I am embracing the moment and creating opportunities for myself. I have no idea where this may lead to, all I know is that it feels right to share with you today.
TRACK 1: “I AM HERE”
This song is about the loss of a loved one (my father) and also about having a loved one who lives very far away from you, like in a long distance relationship or family living “Across the Miles”. It tells the heartfelt story of the strong innner desire to have them so close to you, in that very moment, imagining them so close that they are actually there, then feeling the heartbreak of the reality that they are not there and are never coming back or will not be back for a long time.
Here is the YouTube video of me singing the song in acapella, I do hope you like it.
Here are the song lyrics:
Verse 1
The night is cold tonight
I feel you here
And I just want you now
I want you near
But you are far away
From me
My heart is silenced now
It’s history
Chorus
And I am here
For you
I am close
Can you feel me too
Your love
Is all I need
Heaven open your gates
This I plead
Verse 2
The starry sky so bright
Watches me
I feel your presence here
Let this be
You may be far away
From me
My heart is open now
Set me free
Chorus
So I am here
For you
I am close
Can you feel me too
Your love
Is all I need
Heaven open your gates
This I plead
Heaven open your gates
This I plead
Encore
I once had hope
That I held you
Tight in my arms
Loving you
I see your smile
I see your eyes
Loving me
Beyond the skies
Chorus
And I am here
For you
I am close
Can you feel me too
Your love
Is all I need
Heaven open your gates
This I plead
Heaven open your gates
This I plead

Claire. WONDERFUL. Your beautiful words resonate with all who miss a loved one either through miles, or death, or time. To sing unaccompanied is the hardest way to sing for any singer – you did it so well. You are living and developing your truth and putting it out to the universe and others who will be touched by it and have their hearts opened – even if it is cleansed by tears in the opening. Keep going, keep growing, keep loving and keep singing. xx Elspeth

Your voice is soft and lilting- just as the words and music gently rock the listener: like a lullaby for a loved ones whose arms we are in as we listen. A wonderful tribute for your Dad Clare. He hears it too.
