‘Rock with Me’ – Original Song video

I am really excited to announce that I will be more present on this blog very soon. Many seeds have been planted and projects are emerging which I will tell you about in my next post.

In the meantime I have a song video I posted on youtube a few weeks ago which I haven’t shared with you here and want to share with you now :O) So here it is. With much love always ????

Original song and video by Natacha Dauphin with medicine drum, Tibetan bowl and voice.
Grief takes you to strange places – some difficult places, some beautiful places. This summer I played my drum until its soothing heart beat reached mine and brought me comfort. I felt my dear friend Keith by my side and inside my own heart. And this song came – with this phrase over and over again “Rock with Me…”
…. I rocked until the tears stopped flowing.
The footage is a big mixture of clips I have taken over the last few months. The gnome sculpture from a garden in Gloucestershire, umbrellas in Coppergate in York, the High Force waterfall in the Dales, the candle from a Diwali Festival, me on the swing in the middle of nowhere on a walk in the Dales (Thank you to Jonathan Tapp for filming this one), The Tree full of ribbons and colourful pieces of cloth in Lithuania.
Writing on a bench in Rowntree park in York (Thank you Jeanne Chanet Garcia for filming this one)

“Rock with me
‘Till our loving tears are set free
Rock with me
‘Til you feel my heart in yours beat
Rock with me
For as long as you need
Rock with me
I am gone but I will never leave
I am with you, always
I will never leave
I am with you, always
I will never leave
I’m holding you tight
Lifting you up – higher
Into all forms of being
I’m holding you tight
Holding you tight
Deeper
Separation’s far from real
Hear me
I am with you, always
I will never leave
I am with you, always
I will never leave
Rock with me
Through those dreary days and rough sea
Rock with me
‘Til you feel my spirit laugh and be
Rock with me
For as long as you need
Rock with me
I am gone but I will never leave
I am with you always
I will never leave
I am with you always
I will never leave
I’m holding you tight
Lifting you up
Holding you tight…”

‘Twisted Reality’ – Original song/video

Distortions….

They carry on their journey as if they were kings and queens ruling the world – and yet there is nothing royal or noble about them. They simply live absorbed in themselves and prisoners of their own created image and cage.

The mist can be thick, the fog suffocating and yet the piercing eyes of the heart will break through any illusion, any “twisted reality”.

I invite you to look beyond the veil – both within and around you.

Notice what emerges, what just is. Resist the temptation to grip, to judge, to fix. Simply allow the dance of all that is to find its own rhythm, its own flow. Allow yourself to be blessed by the power of movement and the grace of stillness.

I invite you to enter your sacred temple of darkness and light. It is filled with colours.

Yes darkness and light share the same house and have made it a rainbow HOME. They are not at war; they have never been. They are simply in love.

Start putting an end to the wars inside you by no longer supplying the weapons… Breathe, feel the ecstasy of full presence and openness in this very moment. It all starts here, now.

Rise from the truth of your being into the sacred flame of the universe.

You are made of magic. Truly.

 

“Turn down the light
Switch off the radio,
Give up the fight,
Soften, surrender, let go

Twisted reality
Finding new ways to be
Amongst the flowers
Amongst the weeds
Amongst the wasted seeds

My fire burns on
Stronger today
Winds in my sails

Twisted reality
Finding new ways to be
Amongst the flowers
Amongst the weeds
Amongst the wasted seeds

My fire burns on
Stronger today
Winds in my sails

That dreadful morning
When all grew still and quiet
I should have given up
Instead I chose to rise

Between the shadows
Between what’s left and gone
I could have given up
Instead I chose to rise

Twisted reality
Finding new ways to be
Amongst the flowers
Amongst the weeds
Amongst the wasted seeds

My fire burns on
Stronger today
Winds in my sails”

‘Was this Gold?’ – original song/video

I realize I haven’t shared this song and video here last month so here it is…. Hope you like it ;o)

I took these clips in France, India and Yorkshire – England and wove them together for this one! Recorded the song standing in the bathtub in order to get the mosaic behind me ;o)!!!

“Was this gold?
Was this a lie?
When you stole
Right from the devil’s eye
And you wept ’til the river went dry
And you slept ’til the fire grew too high
Was this gold?
Was this a lie?
When you sold
What was really mine
And I wept ’til the river went dry
And I slept ’til the fire grew too high
Did it satisfy your soul?
Did you reap what you had sowed?
I don’t care what they say
From today I’m living the nomadic way
Follow where my heart goes
Follow where soul grows
Follow where my dance flows
Follow, follow, follow
Was this gold?
Was this a lie?
When you stole
Right from the devil’s eye –

Emerging from the flames
As a true seeker with no name
Body, heart and spirit
I leap into the wild game
Untamed…”

‘Dancing in the Moonlight’ (Original song and video)

Post-flu hibernation. Writing, trying to sing without coughing ;o), weaving little videos I took recently into my new song. May we all dance in the moonlight.

“I’m dancing in the moonlight
I’m dancing in the sun
Whatever happened to that sweet song
Has it really been that long?
I’m dancing in the moonlight
I’m dancing in the sun
With our tune inside my head
It happened to come back
I reclaim it all
The wild, the uncertain
I reach out for more
I lift up the curtain
The veil is getting thin
Strong pulse under my skin
I stamp feet I dare
The ground’s fully aware
That I’ll be flying, flying
I’m dancing in the moonlight”

The full moon was taken in December in York, the fire clip in the south of France at a family Christmas gathering(they al thought I was completely mad videoing the fire!!!), the bird in India, the leaves in York, the candle at aa Diwali festival near Leeds. I love capturing life’s beauty and gifts and weaving them into my songs.

I do have a little channel, feel free to subscribe ?https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg43tZlpTCfwW3mjFZf6aeA

‘Hold The Space’ (Original song/video)

Being here is SHOWING UP.

Being here is a BIG YES to standing naked with dreams, visions, offerings  and also imperfections.

Being here is a CELEBRATION of all those “not quite right bits’; an ode to the scars, the wrinkles, the wonky, the crooked, the “not enough”, the “too much.” A welcoming, an allowing, an acceptance of ALL THAT IS.

Being here is the tear within the smile; the smile within the tear.

Being here is a DANCE to dreaming , believing, doing – and this, is spite of….

Being here is EMBRACING that very ‘ALL THAT IS’ – the magic, the beauty, the flow, the uncertainty, the change. A COMMUNION with ‘maybe’, with “perhaps’, with ‘I don’t know’.

Being here is a warm HUG to self, the universe and life itself.

Which one of your little imperfections will you welcome and love today? Which small daring step will you take in celebration of YOU and all that you are?

Here is mine today: Hold the Space (original song and video) ???
