“Walkin’ into the Light” is the stirring debut single from Snatam Kaur’s upcoming album, Heartflow. The guitar-rich, get-on-your-feet-and-dance folk anthem celebrates the power of embracing change, the courage to open to what's new and different in life, and the discovery of connecting with the flow of one's journey.
Snatam’s stepfather managed the Grateful Dead, allowing her, in her youth, to attend many of the band’s concerts and develop a passion for folk music. Combined with the love of chant music she is known for, Snatam sings a Sikh kirtan line in the song, inviting the practitioner to walk in the path of love, light, and divinity. Composed with her band, the group has already taken the brightly open-hearted song on the road to audiences across Europe and the USA, who have enjoyed and celebrated its upbeat and inspiring energy.
“Walkin’ into the Light” features Ram Dass on guitar and vocals, Grecco Buratto on guitar and vocals, and Sukhmani Rayat on percussion and vocals. It is available on Be Why Music.
lyrics
Chorus:
Walk’in into the light, I’m walk’in into the light
Verse 1
With my feet on the ground, I hear your sweet sound
And I’m walk’in
I leave it all behind , for the love that is mine
And I’m walk’in
Chorus:
Walk’in into the light, I’m walk’in into the light
Verse 2
Hand in hand we’re home, and we’ll never be alone
Cuz we’re walk’in
Faces shining bright, we’re together in the light
And I’m walk’in, yes we’re walk’in
Chorus 1
Walk’in into the light, I’m walk’in into the light (4x)
