From the recording Live From the Center - Honey of the Heart & BrightSide Blue
This pandemic-inspired collaboration of Honey of the Heart and BrightSide Blue continues going strong. This first official collaboration is a peek into what is coming from these musical humans. Full band sound three-part harmonies and full top-notch recording and mixing of sound by the award-winning Oz Fritz, and video by the CFTA, provides a visual audio feast for the senses. Live from the Center was a series designed to make use of the state-of-the-art, newly renovated Center of the Arts in Grass Valley, and also keep our community fed and nourished with music during these isolating times.

Lyrics
Common Ground 100 BPM Key: G-
Sun in the east sky, Have me fly high
Feel the strength of the, Rays through your eyes
Warm my right side, Help me to have sight
Open wide to the water beyond wrong and right
Help me feel We, Love is a mystery
of water and a star, Coming right through me
Celebrate our differences find our common ground (x4)
fossils form and wind, about my mind
An echo-in-time, a print left behind
ink lines formed to rhyme, To read (in) another-time
Let us please be kind, As history, re-writes
{Chorus/Hook}
Celebrate our differences find our common ground
Eyes and teeth like gems in stone
We are precious timeless bones
a flame to breathe
for carbon release
& ashes fly east - oh
voices of the past, in these dark lines last (JA LB double time)
lest a flood should pass, makes the lines bleed fast
Healing to darkness, darkness and light (together)
From now to the past, from now to the past, from now to the past...
Moon in the west sky, -let me deep-dive
Feel the strength & the power, Of the left side.
Ven nosotras, Love’s mysterious
Of water and a star, (cut) Coming right through us
