I feel so lucky to have drawn ReWob! What an amazing library. After I saw his stems for his track When I Start Again, I knew that was the track! A melody came almost as soon as I loaded his stems into my DAW.

A special thanks to John Jones for playing a gorgeous acoustic guitar solo, electric guitar and some extra rhythm, crashes and fills on the drums — and for giving me a list of mix notes that made this track better.

Also big thanks to Stefan for the perfect bongo and shaker stems and also Martijn for giving some extra energy in the choruses with your drum stem.

I sprained my ankle a few weeks ago and ended up laying in bed a couple of days, where I was during my hip injury. It all came rushing back to me, the experience of bedrest and also the healing power of music.

Thank you ccMixter!!!

A Channel
by Madam Snowflake

In the shadow I’m brought down low
Lying here Immobilized, utterly alone
Will I ever walk again? A fear I’ve never known
Like a little child I can do nothing on my own

A channel slowly opens
Healing what is broken

Though my window the old pecan tree
Appears she might be dead, with no leaves upon her sleeves
She’s only hibernating, waiting for the spring
“Patience” is the word she’s whispering to me

A channel slowly opens (like a lucid dream)
Silent like the ocean (when you’re way down deep)
Melodies in motion (sing a sweet story)
Healing what is broken (through a promise I keep)

In a magical realm
A sort of fairytale
Of imaginal cells
Where a sacred future dwells

Yea in a magical realm
A musical fairytale
Where the future dwells
As a parable
Prophecy foretells

All will be well
All will be well

A channel slowly opens (like a lucid dream)
Silent like the ocean (when you’re way down deep)
Melodies in motion (sing a sweet story)
Healing what is broken (through a promise I keep)

A channel slowly opens (like a lucid dream)
Through silence and devotion (from a love that runs deep)
Melodies emotion (sing a sweet story)
Are Healing what I’ve broken (through a promise I keep)

In a magical realm
Of imagine cells
Where a sacred future dwells
