Listen to Maggie’s recording of her song in the video below. You can buy the track and the album at her online store or directly here: https://music.apple.com/us/album/walk-with-me/1441718449. For LRC’s arrangement by Kaitie Ty Warren, as well as lyrics, scroll down.
Kaitie says:
Maggie Wheeler (beloved friend and mentor) wrote this song and at some point I found myself doing a very slow version with the shruti box, before breaking out into the rhythmic version. It wasn’t long before I had a chance to lead it at Song Village with Maggie there, and (fortunately) she loved my arrangement.
This recording is from Living Room Choir sharing it at a gathering, led by Kaitie with Sara’s support. Ben Sikora on drums; Kaitie Ty Warren on Shruti.
