Music, Sex and Poetry

When I was living out in the Mojave Desert, when I first arrived in America, my sister and I lived in a cave for nearly two months. This is where I wrote the words for my debut album, “Beautiful to be Alive”.
Yes we were two girls in a desert garden created by a Mormon guy, way out there. The whole record is about that experience; “Caves of Possibility “ is about living the cave.
The inspiration for the song ‘Goddess” began when I met a woman called Dee, who made Native Indian art and she started talking to me about Goddess’s, the divinity of the female form, Goddess as Creatress, Goddess as life giver to all things. I was also reading a lot of Joseph Campbell at the time and he said the planet would be completely out of balance until God and Goddess sat next to each other once more. I do believe it; Yin and Yang must be in balance. When I go out to primarily female run places, like a spa I love to go to and I feel all that wonderful nurturing circular female energy I think, why wouldn’t we want more of this in the world? Why wouldn’t we want to honor the Goddess? And so the song begins;

“In the outer darkness
Before the beginning of all things
I floated alone
Made love to myself
Out of the ecstasy came the motion of the world
Out of the motion came a perfect song”

I felt like a Goddess when I wandered barefoot in a long black dress around the desert garden. They called me the desert Goddess and my only reference was nature and my internal spiritual journey. I was giving birth to my own creations, my songs and I wrote this song for all women everywhere who are all powerful, sacred, may you honor your spiritual path and give birth to all manner of wonderful things, each one of you.
From love to childbirth, from art to healing from Mother Earth to dance and poetry, you’ll find Goddess in all things, just feel her… she is wondrous.
