Decoding The Divine Whispers In The Air

No discussion on the New Age Pop genre can do justice to the topic without citing the contribution of The Song Gardeners. As composers, this versatile team possesses enviable skills. Their new single “Talking To Trees” is a new feather added to their crown of topline accomplishments.

The songwriter’s passionate conversation with the tree is awe inspiring in surfacing the irrefutable importance of trees (nature) in the life on this earth. Nature lovers and environment campaigners are sure to be enthralled by the theme and message of the lyrics. Through this intimate dialogue accompanied by the most suitable music, Corrie M. Dunn draws inspiration from the tree for the entire gamut of the audience.

Further, Mary Gospe’s soulful harmonies, James Butler’s synths and bass, and David Scheibner’s guitars, synths, and percussion together help heighten the impact the team wants to leave on the listeners.

This poem, “Talking to Trees,” beautifully captures the essence of the connection between nature and the human experience. The imagery and language used create a vivid and sensory-rich portrayal of the interaction with trees and the natural world.

Impactful moments with the song . . .

The opening lines set a serene atmosphere, invoking the gentle sway of leaves in the wind and the rhythmic harmony of branches. The metaphor of the forest playing a divine melody adds a spiritual dimension to the scene, suggesting a profound connection between the speaker and nature.

The repetition of the refrain, “Talking to trees,” serves as a powerful anchor throughout the poem, emphasizing the theme of communication and communion with nature. The lines “I feel your roots reverberating under me” and “I listen as you answer back in harmony” express a deep sense of connection, as if the trees possess a language that resonates with the speaker’s own emotions.

The inclusion of sunlight filtering through the trees and the description of the trees spreading love to the Earth contribute to a sense of reverence for nature. The song beautifully portrays the idea that nature serves as a source of inspiration, wisdom, and life force energy.

The rhythmic flow of the song and the use of concise and evocative language contribute to its overall effectiveness. The structure with repeated stanzas and refrains enhances the musical quality of the single, reinforcing the theme of harmony between humans and nature.
