Product Description

This beautiful a cappella piece talks through the narrator's desires for "solace" during difficult times. The text takes you on their journey from reminiscing about simpler times, pausing to breathe and slow down the world around them, and then re-finding what inspires them and wishing for the "wings" needed to carry them into whatever is next. The lilting 3/4 rhythms mimic the narrator swinging on their porch swing, stewing in their thoughts and the sounds around him. The song is based on the composer's own struggles with mental health. He was sitting out on their deck and listening to the sounds of nature around them, reminiscing about their favorite porch swing at their parents house and wishing he were there, and life were simpler. But, he remembered his inspiration, his family, and allowed that motivation to help pull him out his dark place. I hope you are able to find your own interpretation and inspiration in this song, and that you allow your voice its own wings. Danny Dahlquist-Johnson

**Note: There are minor differences between the final score and the performance by the Morris Park Singers, who premiered this piece on their Spring 2024 concert, Soar. The song was edited slightly after this performance.**
