"𝘞𝘐𝘕𝘋"
Original Song by Jeff Thibodeau
Release Scheduled for April 1, 2025
I wrote 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘥, the first single off my upcoming EP entitled “I Sing Life’s Praises” scheduled for release later this Spring, many years ago while living in a small adobe house in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I had traveled west from my home on Cape Cod and it was my first time living in the oasis known as the Land of Enchantment, a particularly inspirational and transformative time in my life. One cold winter’s night I was perched in front of the woodstove, listening to the crackling breath of the licking flames, thankful for the comforting warmth of the fire…given life by the 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘥…and listening to it blow outside...and this song was born.
I have always gravitated towards the spiritual realm, and although my understanding and practice has changed over the years, I feel a consistently deep connection to, and reverence for, the infinite source of all things (whatever name, traditions or teachings we ascribe to it) and spiritual endeavors are a major source of meaning and inspiration in my life.
Many spiritual traditions recognize the natural element of air, often experienced as 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘥, to be associated with the spirit, or breath, of life… a concept that deeply resonates with me. So much so, in fact, that in that same time frame I adopted a spiritual name for myself, Kaze, the Japanese word for 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘥, and designed and got a tattoo to infuse my physical body with the spiritual energy and meaning of the 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘥.
Just as importantly, I feel equally connected to nature, especially Cape Cod, and to this earthly life we live. I celebrate the beauty of all life, our relationships to each other and all creatures, and the infinite opportunities for exploration, learning, love, growth and enjoyment, despite life’s challenges…. and sometimes because of them. I deeply value the natural world in all its beauty, and strive to engage and protect it. I seek and find great pleasure in exploring all that the world has to offer and the unique opportunities that we are given to do so in our soulful and sensual bodies and minds. I honor the body-mind as a gift and a sacred temple with a primary purpose of bringing love into this earthly realm with every thought and action, bridging “heaven” and earth. I believe in uniting, not dividing, our spiritual, mental, emotional and physical selves.
The 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘥 enlivens all the physical senses. We can see it blowing in the leaves and in peoples’ hair, giving life to flames, lifting white caps on waves, and billowing sails. We can feel its warm summer breeze on our faces and its cold winter bite on our cheeks and fingertips. We can smell and taste its salty seaside air, a tasty meal, and the many wonderful aromas and flavors of life. It carries the sounds of loved ones’ voices, music, wildlife, and of itself. It is the invisible sea within which we all live and breathe and through which we are always connected to each other. The lives of every living creature, and of the earth itself, depends upon it.
In the years since I wrote my love song to the 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘥, it has mostly lived in hibernation, waiting to fly into the light. That time is now.
𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘥 will be released April 1, 2025 in audio format on all major streaming platforms. I will also be producing a music video and sharing that on social media and my website. I had help producing this song (and the entire EP) from an extremely talented local musician/sound engineer, as well as a soulful songstress, who will be receiving my praises in later posts.
Thanks for taking the time to read along. I hope you like the song, coming April 1st.
From my heart to yours,
Jeff Thibodeau
