"Intimacy" - Acoustic Performance - Radical EvolutionAry Love Makers (aka The REALM)

Intimacy is what we all crave, yet it can be tough to come by these days. All our e-connectivity is no substitute. We have to make the time. We must listen to the hearts of others.

A video of my new song, "Intimacy", which Brian Miller & I did to mix with our second live streamed performance on August 13th. If you missed it, you'll be able to catch the replay shortly.

 

INTIMACY

Won’t you look me in the eye
Read the book of my face
Join my personal universe
In this time & space

 If only for a moment
Lest the moment is gone
Look me in the eye
We’ll know we’re not alone

Intimacy, Intimacy, In to me see
Intimacy, Intimacy, In to me see

Separation is a canyon
Only mind perceives
Fall deep in the silence
Free your soul to breathe

Love is in the union
In the union we’re known
If only for a moment
The moment is the One

Intimacy, Intimacy, In to me see
Intimacy, Intimacy, In to me see

How long
Will you hold
Out on your soul’s call
For love

Intimacy, Intimacy, In to me see
Intimacy, Intimacy, In to me see

Intimacy, Intimacy, In to me see
How long
Intimacy, Intimacy, In to me see
How long

Lyrics - "Dark Sky"

I often enjoy seeing the lyrics from a song I'm listening to. I thought I'd post some from songs I've recently written here for you. This is so fresh, it hasn't been recorded yet - except live on the first Radical EvolutionAry Love Makers show (streamed online 7/9/11).

The show was all about Rhythm & Seduction. When we tune in to the rhythms of the Earth, we heighten our intuitive senses & come to the understanding that we're not alone - that the Universe is truly a miraculous, magical place. We fit. It all fits. You can hear "Dark Sky" now on YouTube (along with the show intro).

DARK SKY

I was under a dark sky
I looked up into the night
Heavy & brooding
This body of clay from fire

I heard cryin'; I knew something was wrong

 This is not where I came from
I hail from the house of Love
Father Sun in the blue sky
Mother Moon & the stars that shine

Then I fell human, how I long to go home

Bright stars pierce the dark sky
Yellow moon wake the deep night
Darkness, where is your Light

Voice of the dark night
She whispered I need not cry
She's a lover of white light
Giver of holy life

I heard laughin'; I know I'm not alone

Bright stars pierce the dark sky
Yellow moon wake the deep night
Darkness, I am your Light

I heard laughin'; I know I'm not...

Bright stars pierce the dark sky
Yellow moon wake the deep night

I am human, I know I am...

Yellow moon wake the deep night
Darkness, I am your Light

I am human, I know I am at home

Radical EvolutionAry Love Makers Concert (REALM) - Watch the Highlights!

Wow! The Radical EvolutionAry Love Makers had a blast doing our first on-line concert last Saturday!

If you had to miss it, you can tune in to watch the replay.

The show was all about Rhythm - the Seduction of the Rhythm & the Awakening to our human & Divine selves.

We're rhythmic beings. Our beating hearts connect with the beat of the music.

It soothes & heals us. Stimulates us. Creates the impulse to move.

Movement is healthy & creates pleasure. Movement creates Freedom.

The rhythms of the Earth can tune us into our vibes, into our intuition, our sexuality, our spirituality, our ability to release stress & worn-out ways that we want to move out of our lives. Then, we can create room for new energies to emerge & delight us!

Here are a couple of ways for you to check out the free show. I'd love for you to sing, move along with me & let me know how it goes!

1) You can see the whole thing on my new internet channel, KimberlyCainLive.

2) You can see it in smaller 10 minute bits on YouTube. The first bit is up now. More will be added throughout the month.

The next show is coming up in August. After we're Seduced by the Rhythm, the Harmony of Foreplay is the natural next step! The best way to make sure you get the news about this & other upcoming shows is to sign up for the Naked Vibes Newsletter.

Give the Gift of Your Creative Spirit

The world needs you to shine. No one else can do it just the way you do!

One of the greatest gifts you can give to others is the gift of your creative spirit. Are you in touch with your own creativity? If not, what would you enjoy doing to bring it to life? I encourage you to give yourself that gift...and the sooner, the better!  

The gift of music is one of the ways I share my spirit. We're just 2 days away from the 5th Annual Local Honey Holiday Mix. It's a fantastic, festive evening produced by my sister, Kelly Brown (aka Local Honey) & involves the talents of a stage full of wonderfully talented musicians & lots of folks off-stage as well. I love watching it come together & I'm always blessed by the incredible creative spirits surrounding me in the process.

Inevitably, it always seems like there's much more to do than can ever be accomplished in the available time. Once we get down to the few days prior to the show, however, I'm reminded that it always works out well. When the creative juices of everyone in the band are flowing, the energy can't help but concentrate as joy!

Rehearsal first - here's a little "behind the scenes" video.   
Getting a bunch of musicians together to rehearse at 10:00 on a Saturday morning is a feat. Even though some may grumble just a little, we all settle in once the music starts. It's good for the soul. In fact, it is the soul!

I hope you enjoy your holidays. Sing, listen to beautiful music, dance, relax, get together with people you love & create some magic. Above all, let the Spirit be your guide. When the hustle-bustle gets to be too much, just stop.......

Breathe. Be in the moment.
It's a time for appreciating the good gifts of this precious life.

Music Lifts Our Spirits At The Holidays

Several years ago, I found myself in an irritable mood while Christmas shopping. Besides the crowds, traffic & overly commercialized season, I realized the reason for my irritability had a lot to do with music. Really? Music is one of the greatest loves of my life! How could that be?

Well, I found that I was hearing the same old tired tunes pumped into every establishment I patronized from the gas station to the mall to the doctor's office. It was like hearing a two-month-long broken record & that's akin to torture.

I wasn't going to be able to yell, "Stop it! Just shut up!", like I really wanted to & have the whole community tap into my frequency. See, I know if it was irritating me, it was irritating at least a few other people too. So, I vowed to create my own Christmas music for my own enjoyment. After all, Christmas music is supposed to be uplifting, fun, & inspirational. I knew I had to regain that holiday musical spirit - it was too valuable to lose. Fortunately, my sister, Kelly, felt the same way.

We started in June for the next year. We called in a bunch of our talented friends & had a blast creating music we all enjoyed. We did it for ourselves. The joy we all experienced really shines through in the songs. That's just what I was looking for!

We made CDs on home burners & gave it as a gift to our friends & family that Christmas. A funny thing happened. People started calling & wanting 2, 5, 10 copies to give to others. We eventually had to go to press with the CD & it has endured year after year with people continuing to tell us how much they enjoy it.

That led to the creation of a live holiday show, now in its 5th year of production. That's a joy & another story!

So, the original obstacle provided the creative juice needed to create something fresh & new in my life. What "obstacle" or "block" can you turn into a whole new avenue for your creativity & joy?

 When you create from your own joy, it naturally spreads & uplifts others.

Listen & Enjoy

Thankful...Grateful...FULL

Thanksgiving...it's not just the name of a specific day. It's an act to be engaged in every day!

Thankfulness & Gratitude are attitudes - states of being - not to be overestimated in the grand scheme of living a joyful life. Sure, there are days when you don't feel so thankful - say, on a day when you lose your job or someone hurls a hurtful remark your way. I've found, however, that circumstances are ultimately not what determines my joy. Neither do they determine my ability to be thankful. There are always reasons to be thankful - one need only "feel into" the heart of gratitude - yes, just go there. You can start very simply:

"I'm grateful for the sun shining & warming my face today."
"I'm thankful for the very breath that circulates within me."
"I appreciate seeing the various colors nature offers me daily."

Move on from there. No matter who or where you are, you can make quite a list. Then feel your heart fill with gratitude. It will eventually become so full, it will have no choice but to spill over onto others. Your gratitude will multiply as you experience the return of your joy!

Christian mystic, Meister Eckhart, wrote, "If the only prayer you said in your whole life was 'Thank You', that would suffice."

I'm grateful for the joy of performing music with many gifted musicians. Right now, I'm getting ready for the annual holiday show I perform in each year. My sister, Kelly Brown, created the Local Honey Holiday Mix five years ago & it's always a blessing to participate. The songs are uplifting & fun for a change of pace from our usual musical genres. I had a blast doing Louis Armstrong's "Cool Yule" last year. If you can't see the video below - apologies - click here. Enjoy holiday tunes from our CD Rejoice (when we were Frankly Scarlet) on ITunes.

Thank you!

Kelly talks about lessons in love & "letting go" from Colleen, a Pit Bull puppy she found, nursed back to health, & connected to her "forever home".
Kelly also has a wonderful, sharp sense of humor as evidenced in the song He's Gone from her CD, Late Bloomer.

 

 

Please share your thoughts!

How have you learned about love through letting go? Are you aware that love, once created is never lost? What experiences have you had with Spirit that have affected you in subtle or profound ways How does music connect you to Spirit, to Love's presence?
