"Not Alone" by Shadowlands is a response to the covid-19 pandemic lockdown. It was inspired by videos of quarantined Italians singing from their balconies. It reminds us that, while keeping personal distance, we are still connected.
The initial harp, guitar and vocal tracks were recorded at home by Karoline Hausted and Mark Davis. Wendy and Bob Liepman added harmony and cello to the shared tracks from their home.

“Not Alone” / SHADOWLANDS
You are not alone
The sun will kiss you
You are not alone
The earth is with you
She rises up to meet
The bottoms of your feet
She holds you where you stand
She holds you when you sleep
Though you feel the ache of isolation
Still there is no real separation
Our lives are intertwined
Like honeysuckle vines
And though we are apart
You’re vibrant in my mind
Open up your window now
The streets are full of song
Step out on your balcony
And we’ll sing along
