What's Different About This Music?
Lytingale's songs are about how to live a more conscious, loving, joyful, peaceful life. Many of today's song lyrics come from a consciousness of
victim-hood or codependency ~ they're just subtle variations of "I've got tears in my ears from lying in my bed on my back as I cried over you." Lytingale's songs reach beyond the old models to inspire us to love unconditionally and to celebrate the precious gift of life.
Lytingale's songs are light-filled and light-hearted ~ fun ~ sometimes irreverent like "Calorie Blues" ~ after all, angels can fly because they take themselves so lightly.
Lytingale's songs embrace a wide variety of styles and moods. There is no "commercial niche" that really describes these songs. They don't quite fit on commercial rock or pop radio - they talk about a new model of relationships and speak about spiritual connection, even use the G-word ("God") sometimes. Yet they sure don't fit in at the Christian bookstore - they're spiritual instead of religious. And where DO you fit in scat singing these days? This music does NOT sound like everybody else!
Lytingale's music inspires you to experience joy, peacefulness, and connection to each other. The songs teach without preaching ~ and gently heal the attitudes that create your suffering. This music integrates the heart and mind. By opening the heart, we are more receptive to embrace growth at a deep level.
These songs are life-enriching and often become a tool for daily living. Time after time, people report that they have "worn out" their tapes, or need to replace the one they loaned to a friend. Some play this music as part of their morning wake-up or exercise EVERY morning or every night! Some say they play it whenever they "need" it, that it's helped them return to being centered, that it's helped them through an illness or hospital stay or just a stressful day.
"New Age" music can have words too! And yes, you can actually understand the words! The human voice has been called "the only instrument God made" and Lytingale has been called "one of God's finest voices." From gritty blues to ethereal soprano, her music moves "into the realm of the sublime," accompanied by quality instrumental work.
