about

North Star is about appreciating all the "in between" times which mold illness has helped me learn. I love this recording because it was one of the first ones I worked on with my teacher. I didn't know I could copy and paste tracks so I sang all 16 parts.

lyrics

We wouldn't know if the North Star burned out long ago
The space between
The light that we've seen
Still points the way and that's okay by me

And in between when the star died
And the last of the light arrived
Reaching the summit and heading back down
I know where I am and then I get turned around

It's a hard night and first light
Knowing it's wrong and knowing it's right
Between loss and letting go and letting in

It's the first breath and saying goodbye
There's plenty of light still reaching my eye
The mare's mane falls to her back
And skydiver's always make me cry

We wouldn't know if the there's just one day left in this show
The arctic ice crackles and sighs
The eider dives and a wisp of light arrives
The winter sun has journeyed so far away
Dusk is lasting days and days
Still there's light to find the way

It's a hard night and first light
Knowing it's wrong and knowing it's right
Between loss and letting go and letting in

It's the first breath and saying goodbye
There's plenty of light still reaching my eye
The mare's mane falls to her back
And skydiver's always make me cry

about

Sara Riley Mattson Rapid City, South Dakota

I'm a lifelong musician. The daughter of a deep-thinking poet and a harmony-obsessed choral singer. I grew up on the music my parents grew up on:.Beach Boys, Beatles, Carole King, Paul Simon, Emmylou Harris, The Everly Brothers, and The Temptations. When you mix that with my classical piano and choral training I think you can hear where my style comes from. I like things that are fun & rewarding. ... more
