Call me old fashioned, but I love to hold a physical album, look at the artwork and read the liner notes. And I know some of you do too! This limited physical version of Take Heart will come in a very special wrap that will depict the love I have felt from so many during a very difficult time.
Note: artwork is not how it will be. The actual artwork is almost ready and I'll update the pictures later.

lyrics

Standing still - Margot Merah

See how the colours slowly fade
Shadows getting longer
Hear the city growing quiet
People going home

You awaken to the sound
Of seagulls, crows and eagles
The sun is low over the Cascades
Their tops a silver snow

Days and weeks and months
I don’t know what’s coming
Only time can tell
Time is standing still

On the dark and empty streets
I inhale the springtime air
The river in the moonlight
It’s the little things we share

And we talk over the phone
For hours while I’m walking
Special time for two
Keeps me close to you

Days…

Time to tend the garden
Time to clear the air
Time to write a love song
and a little time to care

Like the river life was running
Forever in haste
Now we stop but are we loosing
Or learning different ways
