about

Opus is just that, a huge work of layered sound that begins in the stillness of the womb and expands
out to the complex and energetic semi-classical crescendo. Written as a soothing lullaby from
mother to child, the song is a map of how to navigate the fraught fairytale paths to successful
adulthood. In-so-doing the song acknowledges the human condition – the fears, the choices, the
pitfalls, the loneliness – and what to hold onto to feel a deep sense of belonging and purpose. Opus
won Silver (for art pop) at the Global Music Awards.

lyrics

Opus
———

Oh my child
It’s time to sleep
Here’s a tale
For you to keep

Below us the buds unfurl into the rose
The trees above give sweet repose
To all creation, birds and bees
Their seedlings carried with the breeze
Our sun gives warmth
And sacred light
Until the night.

Hush my child
Come dry those tears
Life’s an o-pus of
courage and fears

It’s true that the
shadows lengthen with the night and
Dark things lurk that we must fight
It’s all a dance of shade and light
The woods are deep,
there’s much to hide
But you will have this guiding light
Now close your eyes

Solo

Oh I know
You guess the truth
The stories told live
Inside of you

You see on this path we walk there’s right and wrong
Each step you take shows if you’re strong
Now here’s the third act of my song
Your heart will guide you/ Grace can find you
Spirit shine through / Spirit guide you
^ All the joy that lives inside you/ All the joy lives deep inside you
You belo..........ng!/

.....So hum!!!!!
