about

This track was born into the world through a moment of sheer ecstatic joy. It was my birthday, I walked downtown santa cruz and stumbled upon Singing Wood Marimba playing epically booty-dancing music that uplifted my spirits as nothing else ever has. I bough their cd and continuously wept whenever i heard one of the tracks, 'Tenda'. I experimented with a little of the looping style and chord progression from that peice and used a vocal looper to create this song. I had the great honor of sharing this story with them, and inviting them to play on this track.

Unstoppable Joy for me is an infectious way to live life ad posture the heart no matter what. It is an ongoing meditation and co-creation. I dedicate this song to my beloved friend, muse and collaborator Binah Zing, who loved this song and believed in its capacity to spread light and joy with the people. May we all rise and dance together in the freedom of our truest pure joy.

lyrics

I wonder what might happen
if all the beings in all the worlds
were free from suffering and without desire
and burst into unstoppable joy
I wonder what might happen
if all the stars in all the skies
were strung together with a common thread
and shone together in common light
the light of love

I am that I am that I am Love, Unstoppable Love
I am that I am that I am Light, Un-fade-able Light
I am that I am that I am Joy, Unstoppable Joy
I am that I am that I am that I am,
Unstoppable Joy

I wonder what might happen
If all the eyes began to see
the mystery of love unfolding
in the perfection of you and me
I wonder what might happen
if all the hearts that felt the pulse
would dance together in the rhythm of one song
and sing united as one voice
the voice of love

I am that I am that I am Love, Ustoppable Love
I am that I am that I am Light, Un-fade-able Light
I am that I am that I am Joy, Unstoppable Joy
I am that I am that I am that I am,
Unstoppable Joy
