David English crosses genres with “Awakening – Remix,” a gentle, contemplative ballad that swaps country’s charm for inward-looking spiritual depth. This remix is a meditation, a gentle reminder of the beauty that exists outside our field of vision.
“Awakening” was born out of a quiet period of introspection, but it resonates with a depth that is both personal and universal. Those inspirations, in part, include the wise words of Lama Thupten Yeshe and Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, whose insights into consciousness, identity, and reality are woven throughout English’s music.
The song’s images, especially the metaphor of a moon reflected in flat water, put you at home in a place of gentle attention where life becomes mere ripples on the surface of something vast and very still. Each note hangs heavy like a sigh, and English’s soft vocal delivery is close yet intimate, as though passing whispered knowledge from friend to friend beneath the budding Mediterranean evening.
“Awakening – Remix” invites you to pause, listen inwardly, and recall what it feels like to be alive in those silent spaces between thought and emotion. David English has made a moment of hush in an overly loud world, a melodious mirror that bounces the soul back at itself.
