141. Suis ton rêve

Song: Suis ton rêve Music by: Rafaele Carlier ​Notes: Rafaele and I struck up a friendship when we were both fortunate enough to spend a week exploring vocal improvisation together at Le Cercle Enchantée in the summer of '23. Now, Rafaele thinks of herself as a visual artist -- but listen to what came through her as she was freely exploring song a few months later. Wow! And then she shared it with me over WhatsApp -- and so I could sing this song first heard by a friend of mine, in the language that was speaking to her. I love singing the heart songs of friends -- I wish sharing them with each other could be as ordinary as texting a heart emoji! You'll hear me "duetting" playfully with her song -- making up lines -- I hope you'll try, too! Songwriter Info: Rafaele says, "I am a handycrafter and an artist, without distinction between the two. I hope to have more lives to learn and practice all I would like to: tango, ceramic, botany, muralism, circlesinging... yet I feel lucky to have followed a lot of my dreams... and to keep on it!" Sharing Info: The song is free to share in oral tradition groups, but please contact Rafaele for recording and/or performing permission. ​ Song Learning Time Stamps: Start time of teaching: 00:03:19 Start time of reprise: 00:12:39 Links:  Rafaele's website: www.rafaelia.com Rafaele's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RafaeliaHandmadeDesign Rafaele's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rafaelia_handmadedesign/ Nuts & Bolts: 4:4, Aeolian, unison with made up harmonies Join the A Breath of Song Mailing list (https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/335811/81227018071442567/share)  to receive a heads up as a new episode is released, plus a large version of the artwork, brief thoughts from my slightly peculiar brain... and occasional extras when they seem vitally important!
