about

Kaoru is Japanese, so in this song I tried my best to emulate a Japanese-sounding pentatonic scale. Kaoru was quiet and hard-working on tour, getting things done with a minimum of fuss. She would deflect praise, and preferred to compliment and encourage others. This song reflects her gentle and humble nature. She played a sparrow in one of our children's "story songs" which is where I found the inspiration for the lyrics.

lyrics

A little sparrow flew down one day, and landed on a hill
Among the trees she found a stream, and quietly drank her fill

Music to appreciate and savour.
A slower, softer sound spectrum... quirky, thoughtful words... restless melodies on a lush bed of changing harmony...
Darkness and light mingle.
Gawain writes classical music and contemporary songs.
