Michael W. Murphy This album defines “indie marimba” through an intimate collection of songs that remind one of a winter morning breeze felt upon opening one’s window. If you didn’t know Danielle before, this album is a strong reflection of who she is as a person.

Through the open door As far as my eyes can see A radiant light awaits me It draws me near, it draws me near and says Be free, be free Through the open door As far as my eyes can see A difficult path ahead of me I draw near, I draw near and see Fully, fully Through the open door As far as my eyes can see A beautiful grace surrounds me And I dive in, and I dive in and it is So deep, so deep

Raven, you float and you soar away from your troubles I wish I could, too Raven, you fly with conviction, you’ll make it through today I wish I could, too Oh, my soul Oh, my soul Don't you stray Lily, you sit there so pretty, you exist without a worry I wish I could, too Lily, your splendour displayed sparks marvel everyday I wish I could, too Oh, my soul I have truth to say To my soul, I will say Your life is fuller than you'll know So much left for you to still see Oh little one, know you are loved By One who knows your needs Your life is fuller than you'll know So much left for you to still see Oh little one, know you are loved Know that you are loved If the ravens and lilies live with no fear of what's to come Maybe I could, too

Softness 04:46
My bones, they are soft and tender Growing weary under The weight of everything My bones, they are at their limit They bend under The weight of everything Under everything Let me heal in the ways I need So my soft bones, one day, may yet again breathe When will my bones stop bending Under the weight of everything? Will my bones ever get a break From the weight of everything? Everything Ooh Ooh Will the wreckage reveal softness? Will there be any remnants of softness? Ooh Ooh Will the wreckage reveal softness? Will there be any remnants of softness? I want there to be (Softness) I want there to be (Softness) I want there to be (Softness) I want there to be, still, softness Ooh May there be healing in ways unseen So our soft bones, one day, may yet again breathe

What do you see when you raise your head? Is it the sky's soft hues mixed from red and blue? Maybe it's the glimpse of a moment of stillness Perhaps we'll never know What brings your gentle smile What do you see when you look to the sky? Is it the clouds painted white on canvas, light blue? Maybe it's the glimpse of a moment of innocence Perhaps we'll never know What brings your gentle smile What do you see when you lower your gaze? Is it the sight of the heavens? Displays of perfection? Maybe it's the glimpse of a moment of reverence Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh

Ooh Ooh To know my heart the way you do I know my heart was made by you Connected to the truth I need to know Here I know I'm loved Ooh To know my heart the way you do I know my heart was made by you Connected to the truth I need to know Here I know I'm loved Ooh
