about
“[Sabine’s] inward searching is prevalent throughout her music which has a warm and inviting sound with the essence of escape.”- Alex Gallacher, Folk Radio UK
Electric Heart is one of many ethereal incantations on Sabine Colleen’s upcoming album Circle of Trees, out November 1st. The New Mexico based musician began recording these songs at the descent into winter 2020, amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. With the collaboration of engineer Drake Hardin, and to maintain social distance, all songs were recorded in an isolated room in an adobe casita in the south valley of Albuquerque. All communication between the two was through headphones and microphones between thick earthen walls. The album echoes of dark beauty and traverses into the otherworld, a place Sabine has learned to walk after a near death experience in 2015 sent her on an inner journey that gave rise to these songs. Electric Heart is a love song that pays homage to the energetic center that guides us to truth through the darkest of times.
lyrics
the walls we're in are spreading out, stretched like skin
and all of love is on a whim
it reels and turns and twists and spins
a dance of death with time will spin you out 'til you're blind
and turn you inside
where love is real this love is mine
electric heart, I learned this song from you
electric heart, show me a love that's true
electric heart, don't flicker out this time
electric heart, this love is all mine
when the stars shine, my walls are the night sky
can't keep me inside
I reach for everything in sight
