**Some notes about the songs**

- 'Daisy Chains' and 'Dreamkeeper' are percussive with the use of the indian tabla, congas/bongos, funky bass, trippy flute and acoustic guitar.
- A great contrast to the more celtic folk songs such as 'Witch', 'Unseelie Wight' and 'Every Bird' with spine-tingling strings and powerful lyrics.
- 'Lothlorien' was written and sung in the Elfin language created by J.R.R Tolkien for The Lord of the Rings.
- 'Shine' proves to be in a different genre altogether enforcing a groovy feel and added sexy tones.
- A recent addition 'That's Why I Sing' introduces a catchy rock number.
