There's a Light is based on a song idea from our Golden Ticket winner Venessa Hydamacka of Wells BC who recently gave birth to her first child, Alexander. She sent us a detailed account of her experience and we made it into a song.
lyrics
There's a light through the trees
and the wait is finally over
Still I wonder why you chose me
Now the time's come I am ready
In the heat of the midday sun
far beyond preparation
All the pain, all the elation
so much more than I had imagined
I can fight, try to slow this down
but it only makes it harder
So I open to the flooding
to the water I surrender
There's a light through the trees
There's a light, I am ready

In this album, Emily pushes the boundaries of folk music, by weaving in different instruments and synths, to a great result. The highlight of the album is easily the irrevocable masterpiece 'World Traveller' Alex Marshall

My heart melts for 'Back to the Woods', and I would have ended up buying the CD even if it was just that song on it's own. Throughout the whole album, the melodies are incredibly smooth and textured, while the background instruments intimately fuse with the autoharp in the best possible way. Alex Marshall

Beautiful and original showcase of the Rashomon Effect through music. The emotional depth and musical range Hannah displays is truly incredible. Easily in my top 5 albums of 2016. Thank you Hannah for this beautiful record. T.J. Dwyer
