about

“A decade ago, I had a very powerful dream. Outside of my body, I was flying between memories in my life, witnessing my mother singing to me as a baby, playing the guitar to my friends in high school, humming in the Utah canyons or in a Colorado hot spring. Throughout these visions a melody and words were repeating, “Oh this is it, and it’s all it’s gonna be, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, found you again.” This song wove through my entire life thus far, leaving a clear message, that this was all one deep breath. That this human experience is all at once, that every goodbye is temporary and the moments where love comes clearly to the surface are sacred. Years later, I held on to this melody and these words, convinced they were only in my head and singing them aloud might spoil their significance. One night, in the comfort and safety of my bandmates' presence, I sang them aloud. The girls joined in and ushered the song into this world. It became a mantra to us, translating the words for our friends in Brazil and on occasion ending shows with it as a closing prayer.” - Madeleine

This version of what we call, “The Thank You Song,” was created during a recording session in Emilie’s home. Lydia set up a mobile studio and we recorded the vocals all together. “We wanted to explore taking the song out of an a capella mantra and find the music that fit the dream-like world it came from.” (Madeleine) Along one wall of Emilie’s studio apartment hangs string instruments from around the world. To give you a picture, an electric guitar is mounted on a hook alongside a Brazilian fiddle called the Rabeca (ha-becca). A chekeré is hanging from the same hook with vining plants draped across. We started picking up instruments and exploring whatever fit with the soundscape we were creating. What found its way into the song was a Brazilian cavaquinho, banjo, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, tama (talking drum) and many different shakers. A few months later, Lydia took the song to our friend and collaborator, Josh Jacobson, and together they finished the mix and master.
