226. Life's Dance

from A Breath of Song · host Patricia Norton

Song: Life's Dance Music by: Tarren van Ettinger   Notes: This dance of a song loosens me up every time I sing it -- both with the original two parts from Tarren, and then I snuck a third part in when I was singing it on my looper, and I was having so much fun with it, I added it too! Learning the steps as we go -- in and out of the circle, day into night into day, confident, then confused, and back again -- I am grateful for the way this song makes a sweet dance of the whole kit & kaboodle!   Songwriter Info: Tarren is an AuDHD, agender singer/songwriter from Davenport, IA, formerly from Alaska. They have been writing songs actively since 2015, when they wrote their first song at the Village Fire gathering in Decorah. They take inspiration from everything from literature to personal experiences. Tarren lives with their animal-trainer partner, a dog, bird and rabbit, and the occasional foster-critter.   Sharing Info: The song is free to share but Tarren always welcomes financial and/or networking support if/when folks are so moved.   Song Learning Time Stamps: Start time of teaching: 00:03:19 Start time of reprise: 00:16:33   Links: Bandcamp: https://tarrenvanettinger.bandcamp.com Mastodon: https://musician.social/@tarrenvane  Discord: @tarrenvane  Email: [email protected]    Nuts & Bolts: 3:4, major, 3-parts   Join this community of people who love to use song to help navigate life?
