THE KNOWING Eb Bb Gm F Build me a boat to cross the ocean - There’s a knowing in the wind Eb Bb Gm F And the apple tree knows how to grow it’s fruit again Eb Bb Gm F And there’s a knowing in the bee - There’s a knowing in the rain Eb Bb D7 Gm There’s a knowing in the earth and sky and everything in between Eb Bb F 7 Bb There’s a knowing in the earth and sky and everything in between Gm Eb Bb Dm If my heart stops beating the flow of life is gone Gm Eb Bb Dm So today I am fearless in life and in love Gm Eb Bb Dm And I’ve come full circle - I am ready to meet you here Gm Eb Bb Dm Time undivided and spaceless an immeasurable sphere chorus: Eb Bb Gm F Build me a boat to cross the ocean - There’s a knowing in the wind Eb Bb Gm F And the apple tree knows how to grow it’s fruit again Eb Bb Gm F And there’s a knowing in the bee - There’s a knowing in the rain Eb Bb D7 Gm There’s a knowing in the earth and sky and everything in between Eb Bb F 7 Bb There’s a knowing in the earth and sky and everything in between Gm Eb Bb Dm And the presence is the only thing that has no end Gm Eb Bb Dm and yesterday’s today’s memory - tomorrow’s today’s dream Gm Eb Bb Dm And there’s a knowing in the dancer that kinesthetically makes sense Gm Eb Bb Dm and there’s a knowing in me that my (true) song dwells within -chorus: ad lib.

SUN CHANT It helps I awaken, that’s sun’s not mistaken That wind the cold sea, oh the chill’s thrilling me With the friend of the heart, the green leaves the living child The birds in the trees , awaken song in me chorus: Thank you for everything - Always and because - It’s you moving on Me too - On and on and on and on - On and on and on It’s here and it feels so incredibly real This voice inside of me, that longs to be free It moves, I go, hits compass that shows That sense of direction, oh, I feel the connection chorus: Thank you for everything - Always and because - It’s you moving on Me too - On and on and on and on - On and on and on Moving fields, energies, I’m not really real I’m just an idea, I’m not even here…

Just Like That Ooooohooo - oooohoooooo Just like that the water falls – and just like that the journey calls Just like that the silence talks – told me it's truth Just like that life took a turn – and just like that the fire burns And just like that the living stream – whispered it's dream chorus: Which is true – which is false – sun of self river of all Just like this – raise your eyes – let that longing turn into smiles The crack of light that shows the broken heart – forces fear to fall apart Just like this – loud and clear – I heard the song and now I'm here Ooooohooo – oooohoooooo Just like that I followed you – 'cause just like that my heart just knew And just like that the beautiful – showed me it's truth Just like that the stars appeared– and just like that the moon was here And just like that the shadows moved – exposed me to my truth chorus x1 Ooooohooo – oooohoooooo - oooohoooooo

Beautiful Stranger On a lonely island – in the the southern sea Thinking 'bout my loved ones, so far, far from me... The spectacles of heaven – the scent in the breeze The earth and the skies, meet in me Chorus: And you're all here in my heart – Even when we're far, far apart And you're all here with me – for all eternity lalalalala....lalalallalalalalalalalalaaa Singing for the spiders, hiding in the walls For the palmtrees and the flowers. Oh the ocean calls! And the dance of the rock and wood, as old as the moon And the sun and the earth and wind, we're building a home Chorus: And you're all here in my heart – Even when we're far, far apart And you're all here with me – for all eternity lalalalala....lalalallalalalalalalalalaaa Meeting a turtle, at night in my dreams Wondering about, what does it all mean Do you wanna grab a coffee – let's go for a walk Down by the water, oh it's so nice to talk! Hello beautiful stranger, where do you go? Will we ever meet again, oh nobody knows... Could have been something – you touched my soul Crossing pathways - now each go on their own And you're all here in my heart – Even when we're far, far apart And you're all here with me – for all eternity lalalalala....lalalallalalalalalalalalaaa

FLORIDA MOON Come and meet me - At the blue bridge - Where the divided city meets We’ll dwell for a while - Just a moment in time When the sun rests it’s eyes - Then we’ll part chorus: In the mountains - In the woods over the ridge I see the moon Oh that moon! Rises in Florida too. dumdumdum…. Come and meet me at the blue bridge -the sorrow in my heart that you chose to leave My longing is pinned as stars to the skies- those solemn suns in the pale moonlight chorus: In the mountains - In the woods over the ridge I see the moon Oh that moon! Rises in Florida too. dumdumdum…. BRIDGE: Oh Babe - do you look at that moon - Oh - do you see what I see Oh I know In my secret heart of hearts - We’re together when we’re apart dumdumdum…. Come and meet me at the blue bridge - Where the divided city meets In the night of dreamers I walk on my own - but in my heart of hearts I’ll never be alone chorus: In the mountains - In the woods over the ridge I see the moon Oh that moon! Rises in Florida too. dumdumdum….

WILDFLOWERS And the wildflowers of the forest see the birds to the skies A refuge for the soul where my love is alive And I wonder has my time now come to finally break free Of these burdens that I've carried all my life along with me chorus: And I'm recovering from the world – learning anew to see All the magic and the beauty, that is surrounding me And I want to give you love, and I promise not to cry and even if I do we both know that I've tried And I marvel at the madness that I see inside of me, taming tenderly that wildness, that longs to be free chorus: And I'm recovering from the world – learning anew to see All the magic and the beauty, that is surrounding me Coming home, going slow, moving furniture around I've got no place left to visit, I am staying on the ground And with nowhere left to go, I know I still want to move in between and on the road, oh my soul is my home chorus: And I'm recovering from the world – learning anew to see All the magic and the beauty, that is surrounding me And freedom tastes the sweetest while following the heart looking back not getting lost, I think that is the art And at the end of the day, courage, love and flow Lovers lost learn to trust that they'll find their way home chorus: And I'm recovering from the world – learning anew to see All the magic and the beauty, that is surrounding me

NO FRONTIERS Gm F Bb Cm Bb F Gm F Bb Lay your hand in mine - Let me see that smile - You look like a child Cm Bb F You have lived a life Gm F Bb Cm Bb F Gm F Bb Wrinkles, curls and spots - Sometimes life’s been tough - Now it’s time to rest Cm Bb There are no more tests chorus: Cm Bb F Cm Bb F And love knows no frontiers - Memories turn into tears Cm Bb F Cm Bb F Frozen in time - Into yours and mine Gm F Bb Cm Bb F Gm F Bb Holding onto life - Like an old photograph - Years have come and gone Cm Bb F I’ve let go of holding on Gm F Bb Cm Bb F Gm F Bb Like an endless dream - Life flows in the stream - See the fading lights Cm Bb F Day turns into night

HEARTS IN THE MUD I am restless in the night - Like the cat I sneak around Lying here and lying there Cannot find no rest nowhere - In the moonless night of nights - I can hear the endless sighs Oh the river flows and flows - On and on the water goes - On and on the water goes No hand to hold no side to pick - No ground to stand on nowhere to sit Lessons in patience got places to go -No reference point - No space to hold Rewarded with the gift of life - Sometimes I forget that I’m alright Noticing the holes between the thoughts - Drawing hearts in the mud Drawing hearts in the mud

about

Alice Rose „ALICE & THE BIRDS“ - release date: 13rd of October, 2023

The talents of one lone and courageous woman shine as she weaves stories into songs the way time weaves moments into a life. With a naturalness that could only be borne of experience. Through a process of diving into life with the courage reserved for wild, wandering souls.

Alice Rose recorded this in a friend’s summerhouse, and the birds sang along.
She is a master of storytelling through music, lyrics, and unique sound, and this October, she will release her live album, titled. This collection of 8 original tracks were are songs from her album, “While The Moss Redeems The Stone”

Her songs speak of the joy and tragedy of the human experience: love and longing, heartbreak, dreams, happiness, and despair. Sultry evenings spent star gazing at the tropical night sky. Admiring the spectacles of heaven from sun-soaked shores, as in the song, Lonely Island. Meeting a lover on Berlin’s blue bridge, “Elsen Steg”, as in the song Florida Moon.

The album features the autoharp, a small chorded zither often used in folk music. Her collaborator and Berlin-based New Zealand musician, Jamie Collier, co-produced the album and contributed vocals and guitar. A band of Berlin-based musicians contributed strings, wind instruments, and percussion.


Her sweetly seductive voice, clear and pitch-perfect, captures an impressive range of notes and stirs a million souls. Evoking awareness of being, total presence, and a life-giving force that moves the sound of her inner world out into the light, to be shared. Through Alice & The Birds, Alice teaches us the subtle art of conscious relating, the powerful lessons in love, the building of the relationships and bridges that carry us through our journey.

Alice is a rose, a musician, a muse, an unlocker of creativity, and an adventurer in the world of music, love, and life. Listen to this album and join her journey.

For Alice Rose, music is life. It cradles the intensity. Enhances the joy. Calls us back from the depths of loss. Helps us deal with the challenges that life throws on us. Echos the raw tragedy of life, throughout its sweet piercing corridors. Honours the exquisite blessings. Redeems the heartbreak. Music lifts and walks us forward into sacred, sunlit days, and gives sound its first breath.
Breathing seems a simple task, doesn’t it? But there are as many ways to breathe as there are ways to move or to sing. And Alice Rose sings.
Perhaps her breath is the magical essence in Alice Rose’s sweetly seductive voice, clear and pitch-perfect, capturing an impressive range of notes, stirring a million souls. Inside that breath, the awareness of being. Total presence. The life-giving force that moves the sound of an inner world out into the light, to be shared.

Alice Rose plays a small instrument, called the autoharp, which she travels with from the cities of Europe to the jungles, temples, and beaches of Asia. She performs, writes and records everywhere she goes, and her music reflects worlds, seen and unseen. The Danish singer-songwriter resides half a year in Europe and half a year in Asia, where she lives close to Nature, near sea and jungle, and her music on this album, is pulling from the Scandinavian folk music roots, as well as her own personal background in classical and jazz music.
