There’s not much else to do Than sit outside on a sunny day And watch the bugs and the planes skim the moon I didn’t ask them to... Or, did I ask them? Inspiration is fleeting Well that’s not true, Though we convince ourselves to think That magic isn’t real... But it’s magic And it surrounds you Funny how this aligns all the time Funny how this aligns all the time When we open our eye When we open our eye When we open our eye There’s nothin’ wrong with putting seed in little bags and selling them back to the people But the problem lies when put a price on What’s inside It’s magic and it surrounds you and it is you Funny how this aligns all the time Funny how this aligns all the time When we open our eye When we open our eye Stars, they call Quiet down, listen up, hear them all Whisper to each other We are all Left to right, main to Wall street Connected to each other Have today be your moment Let tomorrow wait When we open our eye Can we open our eye? Funny how this aligns

Blown away, this world don’t need saving The miracle of life is here to stay Long before we came it was thriving Long after we’re gone it will remain And it’s overwhelming We came, we saw, we conquered through constant craving No end in sight until we have it all Mother Earth, your beauty is inspiring Such a shame the noticing is faint Mother Earth, your beauty is inspiring And it’s overwhelming Just how far we’ve gone Now the slope is slippery And we’re speeding up, oh At such a speed Falling down, down and what we need Is not around and it’s becoming out of reach We trade the Earth, the air, clean water Necessities replaced by greed Mother Earth, some truly feel your pain And those who separate know not we are the same Mother Earth, some truly feel your pain And those who separate know not we are the same Father, Father Time Counting down, demise or rise? Tendrils unseen are weaving you into me, Me into you and everything Hard to conceive, though there’s no need to

I’m awake I climbed upon a plane Caught the sunrise from above the clouds There’s a chance that no one knew But me, and maybe the children who looked too Was that all you have to do Is look out your window frame And twist a little bit For the most enchanting view Barely hidden Everywhere Took a walk into the mountain Caught the snow melt before June The wildflowers were in bloom As if to say, “it’s just a seasonal way” But I had to ask, “Why is there sadness everywhere?” Till I quieted my mind There came the answer But not by me When it’s time to land Come back down from your head above the clouds Be blessed with what you’ve seen Take heart Try not to tear it apart Just do with what you please But don’t mind me, I’ll just be Singin’ to the Weeds I'm awake We're awake

See your shadow in the brightest of light Shine your way through The darkest of night Let fear surround you, inspire you to move Bless it as you exit, to an infinite room Walls become your windows Windows now are doors Doors will lose their hinges and fall to the floor Floor becomes the earth, life begins to grow The roots are all connected, As above, So below The clouds that bring the rain to feed will open to the sky The stars will all sustain our need to often wonder why Why are we here and how can life be full of pain and love? The stars reply, “because my dear, as below, so above”

about

Spirit Maze is a unique and healing journey through the senses, through the seasons, through the stages and cycles we experience--a musical reflection that leads you inward so that outward you may shine.

Taragápe is a new musical project that seeks to explore consciousness through musical expression. Its etymological overlapping core is ‘agape’ and ‘tara.’ In short, agape is one of seven words the Greeks used to describe different types of love. Agape is a form of universal love--love for humanity, love of nature, unconditional love. Tara is a Sanskrit word that means “star” and among other interesting associations, “Tara is the power that uplifts us to higher levels of spiritual understanding, giving us the strength to transcend our troubling thoughts.”

The album Spirit Maze is a musical journey that interweaves through tonalities, emotions, spiritual musings, and deep reflections both personal and collective. It features the tranquil and inspiring handpan (inverted steel drum) in this case called a Terrapan, as well as guitar and lyrical compositions that are heart-centered and inspired by potent inner/outer journeys and experience. Spirit Maze is musical medicine. Even its symbol, featured as album art, signifies this. The entire album is recorded in 432Hz as tribute to the mathematically divisible perfection and as exploration of the notion that 432Hz aligns with the natural frequencies of our planet.

Spirit Maze was recorded in Boulder, Colorado, produced by Dango Rose of Elephant Revival and Evan Reeves of the Elephant Collective. To learn more about the intentions and the creation of the album and the symbol, please visit the campaign page: igg.me/at/spiritmaze
