Today, music transported us. With Soaring On, Sheila Rafferty, joined by Ian Rafferty, delivered a moment that felt suspended outside ordinary time.
From the first seconds, a mysterious percussive thread weaves itself through the track, steady yet elusive. Congas and textured rhythms pulse like a distant heartbeat, grounding the piece while inviting the mind to drift. Nothing is rushed. Every sound feels intentional, almost elemental, as if shaped by wind, earth, and open space.
Melodies emerge quietly, more suggested than stated, leaving room for imagination to roam. Somewhere between meditation and trance, Soaring On dissolves genre boundaries and replaces them with pure experience. You don’t listen forward; you listen inward.
There’s a strong sense of place in the music, a wild openness that echoes untouched landscapes and vast horizons. It feels ancient and modern at once, intimate yet expansive. Close your eyes, and you’re suddenly traveling through the unknown, guided only by rhythm and instinct.
Soaring On is a beautiful journey — and once it begins, you willingly let go.
