CD Reviews - Peace Instead

Thank you, thank you for the CD!  I got it the other day.   I just love the CD – I’ve listened to it 3 times already and it is just beautiful.  The first time I listened to it I was feeling exhausted, hadn’t slept much the night before and had about a million things to conquer that day.  I was answering email and mumbling to myself about how each email I receive I have 10 things to add to my list as a result and then I popped in your cd.  I realized that about an hour later I was feeling energized and wondered what happened – how I could be awake after no sleep at about 8pm.  I attribute it to your music – so warm and vibrant.  I’m going to listen to it again when I’m tired – like in the next ten minutes and see what happens.  Pretty cool huh?  Love you.

PEACE INSTEAD is beautiful. I love it because I love your voice....but more importantly, it speaks to the need for peace, but without causing people who are PRO or CON the USA's reaction to the war in Iraq, the missiles in North Korea, President Bush, etc. The focus on unity and lines such as-- "I will not kill my brother in the name of anything"-- is more of what I think is needed to bridge the diverse feelings people have. This is not "just" a US problem, peace (as your song says so well) is something needed by the whole world...it's a global issue…..Anyway...it's beautiful. I'm not comparing myself to those in "One Drop of Water." But your lyrics, your voice...they are the first thing that have turned my thoughts from darkness in days. Thank you.
