Astanakhi (Blackfoot - "Come Singing"
Something keeps coming at me - anywhere I am
it looks like you - full of your voice - takes a big bite
swallows me like the sea
and I'm singing - I'm singing - I'm singing a song
you gave to me - there is only light
and a soft voice praising - soft voice praising
there is reconciliation without sides
there is peace - there is peace within your eyes
come singing - Astanakhi - Astanakhi
the only way out of this - the only way
is knowing some signs lead us on
some signs circle us back
toward the vision of us walking together free
and I'm singing - I'm singing
everything you carry - whoever I am
whatever we can be - everything we see
come singing - Astanakhi
Astanakhi - Astanakhi

Thank you,
That was different and highly enjoyable indeed. I'm assuming, being a Brit, that Blackfoot is the Native American tribe.
Any background to the song from a tribal perspective, just interested in these kind of things.

Thanks Sid - The word just caught my eye and ear - no real connection to any tribal happenings. Here's a video about the tribe.

Another great track. I'd heard of the Blackfoot, though I have little knowledge. I'll echo what Sid and RDM have said already. Keep em comin'😀
