MA YEMA #12 – SOLA ME snippet

SOLA ME was originally one part of “SPIRAL – an inner journey”. It was the ending song, the release, the out-breath, the stillness and peace that comes after giving birth. All is well. And peaceful. And I felt that it would work the same way here, on MA YEMA. After all the energetic day activities, comes the peaceful night.. with SOLA ME!
SOLA ME is the only song on MA YEMA that wasn’t created the moment we recorded it. I brought it with me to Nilento Studio. The music was already created, but the lyrics wasn’t. The words arrived during the recording. I hope you like the strings on this one. I just love strings! Yay!! They affect me and move me deep within. Tormod Tvete Vik who arranged them and also conducted the ensemble in the studio, created a beautiful string heaven for me.. and for Sola Me… And while you’re here,  listen to the whole song (and you can do it on Ma Yemas page) and hear Lasse Nilssons soft and mellow flugel horn solo in the beginning of the song. :-))))))))

MA YEMA is the concluding album, focusing on the elements, in Malou Bergs The Pleiadian Suite; HOYA (Earth, Body) OMINE (Heaven/Air, Soul), AMAONA (Water, Feelings), ALIGNMENT (Ether, Intuition) and MA YEMA (Fire, Energy). Besides that there is BREATHE OUT (Christmas album, a compilation. Yay!!)

All songs on MA YEMA, except ”Sola Me”, were created by Xavier Desandre Navarre, Thomas Hellsten and Malou Berg in the moment, as they were recorded.

“We started from nothing.
We had no structure,
no form,
no chord changes,
no melody,
no lyrics
no initial idea.
We had nothing at all, to hold on to.
Together we stepped into the unknown, unsure
following the flow,
embracing the notes that arrived
the waves of musical lines
the rhythms that came.. and went
the melodies, the lyrics.
We followed the flow.
And these songs were born.”
