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

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

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.
