The latest release from the Song Gardeners, pop duo Corrie Dunn and Mary Gospe Sonic Landscape ask a time old question over the eight song of feeling the energy, healing the issues and listening to the world around us as we can hopefully live in harmony in the not too distant future.
It is in essence catchy, up-tempo and message driven with a hope that mankind can move past the tragedy that surrounds us on a daily basis to look toward the greater good; Peace.
Present is a track full of energy pulsating with a solid base rhythm which is followed by two songs, both of which have been released as singles. Send Love To Everyone (Heal the Divide) is a prayer to mankind to forgive, to stop taking sides.
Talking to Trees is a lovely whimsical little song that encourages a return to nature, to sit under a tree, to hug a tree, to share and understand hopes and dreams as only a deep connection to nature can deliver.
Snazzy percussion with deep bass lead in More of This a new up-tempo song in celebration of the future that contains more of holding hands, babies precious first smiles, dancing to a seductive beat, enjoying the rhythm, the joy, and happiness. More of this please is wished in the wonderfully, hopeful lyrics.
Looking at the rules of life and what never changes, is the catchy Future Lives followed by April Sky; a prayer asking the heavens to keep us safe and sound, while we are able to enjoy and dream of things wondrous under an April Sky.
The simple lyrics to The Little Things celebrate all the little things that bring joy, put smiles on faces and add a light to a day which all help make the world a far better place.
Within brings a refreshing collection of songs delivered in what has become The Song Gardeners signature style, New Age Pop, to a delightful conclusion. Their music, has hints of 1960’s folk music, prayerful lyrics which can very easily become a daily mantra, underpinned with a genuine desire to help spread love and understanding to the world.
Sonic Landscape looks to a brighter, happier, future by using the healing power of music to reach out and send a message of love and peace to the world.
