‘The Long Healing Prayer’ will be released on March 9th! Can’t wait! It is recorded in honor of my nephew with Down syndrome who will need heart surgery and to a dear friend with cancer.

For the 19 days of the Fast I will be posting daily inspirational music from the Bahá’í writings on my facebook group ‘Lofty Notes’ with questions for reflection each day. Most welcome to join here.

Thank you SO much, dear Elika, for sharing your amazing resources. Today is the third day of the Fast, and I’ve been listening to your Spotify playlist (thank you!) and more of your music. I’m listening to Rejoice with Exceeding Gladness right now, and this is the version with six languages, one of which is German. For some incredible reason, I’m listening to the German version with absolutely NEW ears today! German never struck me as a very soft language, unlike, say, French, Persian or Turkish, but today, listening to the words of Baha’u’llah in German and your music, I heard German in a whole new way, and I LOVE IT! Thank you again! <3
Thank you dear Sarmad for your message. So interesting that you say that about the German version as I have heard similar thoughts by others. I think it helps that dear Nasim sings the German vocals flawlessly with her gorgeous vocals. I was thrilled to be able to include her voice in there. And so happy to hear that you are enjoying the Spotify Playlist for the Fast’. I have added a few more songs this year.
