Here is one of 2 songs that are being released for the first time, as part of the ongoing journey of "Ray One", the first of the 12 Ray series by +Elijah- and the Band of Light. The Ray One EP has sold countless copies worldwide since it's release in 2008. These two songs are a part of the upcoming full album and live broadcast RAY ONE +E-xperience, to be released in 2012.
For now, at this Winter Solstice of 2011, we present "Return to Forever, and Samadhi", 2 songs that +Elijah- says "are meant to be together". Here's a note from +Elijah- Ray, about these songs:
"Aloha Friends! I offer you these sonic jewels to shine and polish your hearts at this powerful time! I pray that we let grace guide us, and love glide us, into this glorious moment... right here and now...where we begin to witness heaven manifesting on Earth all around and indeed, through us. This is what it is meant to Return to Forever...
My deep appreciation goes out to YOU, the listeners, yes you, all you co-creators, the Family of Light, whom I am so exited to be here with... let's radiate our Love out to all beings everywhere on mama Gaia who are waking up now! Dance! Sing! Rejoice!
Thank You!! Mahalo! Gracias!
Mahalo Ke Akua for all that you do, to help bring about more love and peace for our families, our communities, and our nations throughout this good Earth. Ho!
Peace and Aloha, +E- "
lyrics
RETURN TO FOREVER
I think it's time we return to forever
Where we can fly like birds of a feather
Never say you're sorry and never say never
It's really time we return to forever
Bridge:
And if you fall I will help you back up
And if you call I will always pick up
And I will see you no matter what you say
And if we must part I will love you anyway
I think it's time we return to forever
Where we can fly like birds of a feather
Never say you're sorry and never say never
It's really time we return to forever
+Bridge-
The way to find your bliss is to lose your monkey mind
Look up so you don't miss the love you've been trying to find
the way to find your bliss is to lose your monkey mind
Look up so you don't miss the love you've been trying to find (repeat)
With special guests
Tom Finch on Electric Guitar

The rhythmic beats, and trance airy tune mixed with exotic vocals...this music is intense, passionate, and deeply resonates with the soul. Beyond beautiful... kristymarie85
