The 2nd single from my live E.P is out now on all your favourite streaming platforms.
It is a song about presentness; calming the mind and grounding ourselves in the real!
It’s set on the island of Crete, and named after the glorious 14th Century Venetian port town. For me it conjures images of trekking the Samaria Gorge in 30 degree heat, and standing in the neotithic caves carved into the cliff face, overlooking the picturesque fishing village of Matala, with the sun shimmering on the sea.
It speaks of the places we encounter that are so raw in their beauty, that for some blissful moments of calm, they free us from our whirring patterns of unconscious thought. Here we become grounded in the awareness that we are a living, breathing creature; a small, but important part of something much bigger than ourselves.
Do you know the kind of places I mean?
On the album we went with a Balearic chill-out feel for this track, so I’m really pleased to share this stripped back acoustic version, giving a window into how the song appeared when it was first written.
