" Many of Holly's fans would agree that her collaborative works are among her finest, and this 2009 release is no exception - it's stunningly beautiful. These artists - Holly, Pat Humphries and Sandy O - deliver some truly gorgeous arrangements on their 3-part harmonies, at times sounding like a full choir." ~Ladyslipper Music
3 - Sky Dances
Words by Jimmy Durham; Music by Roy Brown / Plymouth Music
Holly writes: The poem is by Jimmy Durham, a Native American poet from Oklahoma. The music is written by Puerto Rican composer, Roy Brown. "Oaks dance like bears, clouds sing like sky bears." They come to sing as well.
Sky dances Willows dance like women Dance like snakes
Willows dance before the mirror
Fish dance in the mirror, turtles dance
Oaks dance like bears, clouds sing like sky bears
Pines dance, they are stars
Storm has come here to kill the grubs, to kill worms
Seeds dance, water dances, it is proud sky horses
The corm will grow and dance with us
Lances of storms are with us
New plants grow, new things ride this way
Sky dances....
