Incredible as that sounds, this young lady is light years
beyond other kids her age in maturity as an individual and musician. At the
turn of the new year, she has returned with another instrumental piano album
titled Notes From Zion. I looked
forward to this being instrumental bliss just like the first album, and it was.
Faith is her name and for good reason. She exemplifies what
a young lady should be if there was a belief in God, a higher power, and the
words of the Bible. Zion was the home of Enoch in the Bible. If you look at the
CD cover you can see the beautiful city in the heavens.
Faith is very advanced spiritually and musically; her music
is definitely a gift from heaven. I have no doubt someone like Faith was put
her on this earth not to just entertain with music, but to teach with it. She
is the master of her instrument the piano, and the listeners are her students.
She has to be an old soul, that is all I can say in regards to all of those
thoughts and feelings I have about this incredible artist.
I decided to include all of the verbiages that Faith
decided to write about each individual track. These are her personal Notes From Zion, in the written form.
What you hear her playing on the 12 piano instrumental tracks included on the
CD, is in sync with her thought process, faith, beliefs, and distinctive
musical ability. All of this is one cohesive presentation. What you witness is
a teenager and her instrument sending out a message to the world. If you read
the words that go with the tracks it becomes even more powerful, meaningful and
clear. An active listener will catch on to all of this very quickly.
The music that is created on Notes From Zion is a threefold process made up of musical notes,
words of wisdom, and a spiritual journey to those open to stepping through that
portal. It is door waiting to be opened. It all worked so very well for me, it
clicked in a short time span. I hope everyone that listens to this project is
able to see the light shining through. What an amazing gift to share with the
world.
Top of
the Mountains - Throughout the scriptures, God has spoken to
prophets from the top of the mountains. Whenever I look at the majestic
mountains around my home, I think about God looking down on me and wonder how I
am measuring up.
Notes
From Zion – I try to write music that invites the spirit so that it
is easy to meditate and escape from my troubles. In this song, I hear the
inspiration from heaven.
Baby
Faith – When I was little, everyone called me Baby Faith. It is
kind of how Faith works for everyone. Just like I have been growing and
maturing, our Faith grows and matures as well if we work at it.
Kolob
Canyon – Kolob Canyon is part of Zion’s National Park and named
after where God dwells. Sometimes I long to feel closer to God.
Snow
Canyon – Snow Canyon is a beautiful state park in St. George Utah
that my family loves to go hiking in. The red rocks are inspirational and
memorable. The music almost writes its self.
The Living
Planet – Sometimes I just pause and sit in amazement at the
beauty of this earth and the variety of life around me.
Ensign
Peak
- This is a mountain peak overlooking the Salt Lake valley where I live. I love
hiking to mountain peaks to get a change of perspective on the world I live in.
I believe it is only through constantly looking at life through different
lenses and perspectives that we truly grow.
Flowing
Waters – There is nothing sweeter than the peaceful feeling that
comes from an answer to a prayer. We wait patiently for answers and when they
come it is like flowing waters of revelation.
The
Narrows – The Narrows is a famous hike in Zion’s national park
through slot canyons. The majestic views of the stone walls surrounding you
create a mixture of thoughts and emotions.
Finding
Your Why – Having a purpose and knowing myself is the key to
happiness. Throughout this last year, I have found what I believe to be one of
my callings in life.
Angels
Landing – One of the most famous places in Zion’s is Angels
Landing. My dad and brother hiked up there and back while filming. I am afraid
of heights and don’t think I can manage this one by myself because of the huge
cliff drops. I tried to capture their experience and set music to the video.
This
is the Place - There is nothing quite like the feeling of
coming home. This is a song about finding a place of peace within and knowing
that I am on the right track with my life.
