Today's Video Share: Supernatural by Rändi Fay
“Supernatural” is about the surreal chemistry of love and desire, and the intense magic when equally matched. The music was created (by co-writer Aaron Zinsmeister) to support this concept- layering two very natural instruments, the voice and the bass- into a winding, equally “supernatural” arrangement. “The intimacy of Rändi's warm, sensual vocals set in a sophisticated fusion of layered bass create a mesmerizing, memorable song.”

Today's Video Share: Words of Peace by Kyra Shaughnessy
Kyra Shaughnessy is a Quebec-based singer-songwriter and spoken word poet. Paroles de Paix (Words of Peace) is a video shot after the release of her fourth album, Passage, in 2016. The video was inspired by the piece "The Artist is Present" presented by Serbian performance artist Marina Abramovic at the MoMa in 2010. For the video Kyra invited a collection of complete strangers to practice presence through gazing into each others eyes. The lyrics of the song are a prayer to the universe where the artist asks for the strength to stand up for what she believes in, to be a messenger of peace I troubled times. The act of gazing into strangers eyes is, for Kyra, a practice in recognizing our essential interconnectedness, being able to see our reflection in the eyes of others and accepting people as they are...all fundamental aspects of "peacemaking" the world over.

Today's Video Share: Dark Place by Ebony Buckle
I wrote this in last year in response to a woman I heard on the radio, who had called in to chat. They were talking about domestic abuse and how there are many people who don't even realize they are in an abusive relationship. They asked people to call in if they thought that might be them.
A woman called in saying she wasn't sure but her boyfriend made her wear ugly clothes like socks and sandals and tracksuits when they went out. He didn't let her talk to his friends and she wasn't ever allowed to dress herself in dressy clothes as he always chose her outfits for her.
The hosts gently told her that yes, this wasn't normal and that they were going to chat to her off air.
It was for her that I originally wrote this song. The woman who realized that there might be other possibilities outside of her situation. And the idea that the 'Dark Place' inside all of us is actually a wonderful place where we can truly be free. Where we can run with the Wild Women.
When the #MeToo movement happened I felt like I wanted to contribute something and so made a music video for the song. It's for all of the beautiful wild souls out there!

Today's Video Share: Into the Light by Gerta Heba
Born in Albania and raised in Vancouver Canada, Gerta Heba is a singer-songwriter who has been singing from the age of five. She has performed in Brisbane, Australia and locally in Vancouver, BC. She plays guitar and piano but identifies herself as a singer first, and a writer second. Her true motive is to write music with a message, that brings joy to people and she is just getting started on her journey.
There is a lot of beauty in the world but not everyone sees it. As cliche as it sounds, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel and I want to remind people of that when they listen to this song. I hope they will never stop searching for the light in the darkness.
