Hive Open Mic ( #openmic ) is a global community celebrating live music on Hive. Each week is a new event, encouraging musicians to share songs with an international audience.
One day I woke up and heard this song, sung ultra-slow, somehow appearing with the distant sounds of street traffic. For me, it's a message that all is well. It rings true for me: A higher power is beating my heart and breathing my lungs, even without my awareness.
What is more awe-inspiring, more awesome, more full of awe? What is more easeful, more peaceful, more comforting? Surely there must be a higher power who has it all under control, holding all of us in a loving embrace. Surely we can rest assured, trusting we are worthy of love, harmony, truth, and justice.
This song is my selection for this week's Hive Open Mic theme: "Healing Songs." To me, there is deep meaning, and rich medicine in this song's message and the melody. In the recording process, I felt myself soothed by some handsome sounds that seemed to flow naturally through the instruments, played at a nice slow tempo.
Compared to the song I shared last week, this one was smooth sailing. I made a few adjustments to simplify my equipment setup, and then performed it live with a looping station. Visually, I think the double exposure video does a fair job of showing essentially what is happening sonically. I'm grateful for what feels like a creative breakthrough.
Wail Away
A new song, presented as a multitrack recording
Heart beating I am aware of my blood in flow
Heart listening to this harmony imagining
With open roads and open arms to hold me
With steady steps I steadily up-level
I honor myself and all my brothers and sisters
I honor the earth and all in it that is sacred

About Me
I am a star child, ultra-fly and down-to-earth. I am an artist, making films with Arise and songs with Cosmic Butterflies. My latest launch is a Rock album called "Colors Flying," to be released this Summer. My greatest achievement is my role as a rad daddy to three incredible kids.
I think it is perfect this way, as you simplified the setup from the last week. It feels more relaxed probably for you too. For me it is a beautiful healing song came in right moment!
Thank you. Yes, this one was so much more comfortable. Still room for improvement in many aspects, and all is well. Happy to see and hear signs of progress.
Of course, there is always room for improvement, that is for sure. We all have to do it from week to week, but every step is like a new achievement in that path :)
Heey bro! What a good sound! Totally healing. Amazing those ghost visuals really nice effect, just perfect!
Thank you. This one felt much more natural than my recent attempts. Thinking I'm finding my voice. Next, I'd like to figure out a way to get some more rhythm in there. Maybe a djembe.

Gracias hermana. Es un placer estar aquí y participar en este evento que nos une a usted y a mí como portadores de canciones, familiares y amigos.
This is a really beautiful and healing song. The mellow melody instills a wash of calm over me as I listen to it and your choice of instruments complements the vocals perfectly. There is something very meditative about this and I absolutely love it!
Some of the best music ever written has come to those subconsciously. It is an inner connection with the universe and the vibrational frequencies. Your song this week certainly holds that power within it.
Much love to you dear @cabelindsay 🤗💚😍🙏
