The tunes and words on the music CD were composed and written in the leafy, seaboard Cape Town suburb of Noordhoek.
The songs were inspired, along with Nature by the teachings of Eckhart Tolle’s books, The Power Of Now and A New Earth, and Neale Donald Walsch’s Conversations With God series.
During this insightful time, the tunes and words happened almost of their own as jonny strummed his guitar in the tranquility of the Noordhoek valley.
It is the will to share these feelings with others that led an amateur musician, blessed with talented musician friends to continue the journey, resulting in this album of original inspirational songs.

Lyrics of sample tracks:

1. A New Earth (5.15)

I see your face in the sunrise
I see your smile in the rain
Always there when I need you
Look inside, there is no pain

A New Earth is dawning
Life with Love spreads around
Aware of who we are
And what we Be
Free from the madness of the mind

A sense of stillness fills the air
To listen and watch and not compare
Allowing what Is to Be
Free from the stresses of time

A New Earth is dawning
Life with Love spreads around
Aware of who we are
And what we Be
Free from the madness of the mind

I hear your song in the wind
I feel your breath upon my skin
Respect myself and who I am
Respecting all mankind

A New Earth is dawning
Life with Love spreads around
Aware of who we are
And what we Be
Free from the madness of the mind

3. Be Here Now (4.29)

I see you in the morning sunrise
I see you in the after fall
Whether it be cloudy weather
Or sunshine and gold

Its plain to see that life is Now
That before and after is not Here
That beauty beholds the conscious see’er
And that not Here, is nowhere

Feelings of wonder
As I gaze along the shore
Feel the breeze touch my skin
See seagulls in the sky

Its plain to see that life is Now
That before and after is not Here
That beauty beholds the conscious see’er
And that not Here, is nowhere

When you see a snowflake fall
And a tree so tall
Feel it in the air we breathe
And as time stands still

Its plain to see that life is Now
That before and after is not Here
That beauty beholds the conscious see’er
And that not Here, is nowhere

I see you in the morning sunrise
I see you in the after fall
Whether it be cloudy weather
Or sunshine and gold

Its plain to see that life is Now
That before and after is not Here
That beauty beholds the conscious see’er
And that not Here, is nowhere
