During an improvisation workshop with Jenny Thomas we were asked to remember that we are enough right now. This resonated deeply with me and the song quickly wrote itself on my return home.
lyrics
When hands are raised to mouths
Hushed voices laugh and whisper
Deep inside a voice of truth, beats strong
Rhythms that are ancient, rhythms that belong
Rhythms of a long lost song, they beat
You are enough
They beat in time with her heart,
In time with her heart beat
You are enough, they vibrate deep
You are enough
They sing from her bones,
From her bones,
You are enough, they beat
When voices in derision
Raise their ugly heads
Deep inside of voice of love, sings strong
Words that are ancient, words that belong
Words of a long lost song, they sing
You are enough
They sing in time with her heart,
In time with her heart beat
You are enough, they vibrate deep
You are enough
They sing from her bones,
From her bones,
You are enough, they beat
*Instrumental Break
You are enough
They sing from her bones,
From her bones
You are enough, they vibrate deep
You are enough
They sing with clarity,
Clarity, clarity
You are enough, they beat
You are enough
They sing to the sky,
To the sky above
You are enough, they vibrate deep
You are enough
They sing from her bones,
From her bones
You are enough, to me

Bright and skipping songs that foreground the sound of the banjo and fingerstyle guitar in music that feels timeless. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 5, 2020
Listening to this album's rich, beautiful melodies and spirited performances feels like seeing a fantastical other-world emerge from the Earth itself. The emotions running through "A Mermaid at Fearn" are so complex and genuine it could convince anyone that mermaids are really out there. Gyakuten
