A song to immerse one’s soul in. Wild-spirited and hauntingly moving, as if one has ventured into an ancient sacred place in the bowels of the Earth. Communion with a dark pool in a cavern…8+/10.

LYRICS by Priscila da Costa
Deixa te levar pela corrente do mar
Equilíbrio elegante e suave
Se não sabes aonde vais
Segue o brilho dos corais
Iluminado a vida
Deixa te desses fios e embarca no navio
Revelando sonhos desconhecidos
Desaparecendo adentro do redemoinho
Para descobrir outro caminho
Nas ondas do mar
Nas ondas do mar
Se o peso do passado te empede de ficar ao meu lado,
Desaferrolha o cofre enferrujado
Envia me um pouco de carinho numa carta sem Destino,
Numa garrafa flutuando no mar
Mas não te deixas assustar por as brechas desse lar resgatando beleza sem fim
Nas ondas do mar
Nas ondas do mar

THE SONG POEM BY Pablo C. Ursusson
CANTIGA DA RAINHA DAS AGUAS – The illusion of stillness.
On a cloud I was born,
with the winds I travelled,
no burden, no fog,
and through vast lands I witnessed.
Until I fell...
On grounds I rested, through filters of soil I descended,
into the cave,
into darkness and freezing waters,
into vast calm and silence.
Night and dreams.
The illusion of stillness.
Yet the light took me again,
through the spring I was reborn
and in streams I once again descended,
in rivers and waterfalls I was shaken.
And I witnessed,
other lands and other creatures,
another songs I heard,
another gusts I tasted.
Finally in the seas I learned,
the dance of the waves and the swirls,
until up to the air I returned,
as the Sun took me
and at last I was aware,
transformations and dream,
growth, love and care.
The cloud embraced me once again.

Excellent medieval folk, IGR, & those with ears to hear. I love the sense of mysticism and deep, introspective ponder this album conveys, & the honest down-to-earth folky lyrics. Simply wonderful yet soulfully rich. Highlights for me are tracks 2, 5, 6, & 12. IGR truly capture what I feel is an authentic sense of a medieval bard at a woodland rill pondering the mysteries of life. Highly recommended. 8.5+/10. Alrihkh

Very calm, soothing, yet strong and evocative melodies. Great introduction into the world of Forndom and a true, even if a bit short, escape from the world of men. Anders Kvistr
