We Shall Live In Light (Live w/ The Rogue Mystics) #253


This is a drum based chant piece that has always been one of my most popular songs with groups that like to sing. It’s spiritual but not religious in that whatever it is that is responsible for the Universe being here is pretty damn awesome, awe inspiring and essentially is what we are all made of…

It’s not about any particular “religion” but seems to work with most faiths…

This live performance was a little rough around the edges because we had not had time to rehearse it at all before the show. But I LIKE that. It shows we are all co-creating and paying attention to each other. What didn’t get picked up so clearly was the audience singing along at the top of their lungs… they were DEEP into this song… which means a lot.

Thanks!
– Mark

You have put a grown man in tears…

Mark, this song and message really hit home for me today. You have put a grown man in tears. Thank You for what you do. Sometimes I think you sound kind of cheesy, and then others, I think you are a genius, and I’m beginning to realize that you actually care about helping people. So hard to “get out of your own way” sometimes…thanks for the reminder.

Jeremy

For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love…

Dear Mark, THANK YOU for sending *Spark & Flame*!!!! This CD certainly is a compilation of Conscious Love Songs! As I listen I am transported to memory after memory past, present and future, fulfilled and unfulfilled. I was flooded with many different emotions. I cried, laughed, held my breath and also breathed deep heart-centered breaths of connection to the Divine. I feel joy, grief, sadness, compassion, love, awe, freedom, kindness, gratitude and appreciation. For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love, releasing, acceptance for what was, what is and who I am. Knowing that I am enough and that I am Divinely Loved.

Been singing the chorus since the first day I heard it…

I sh*t you not when I say I’ve been singing the chorus to Honest Rock since the first day I heard it. I sing this every single day. Many times a day. Seriously. It’s like a mantra to me. It soothes me:-)
