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- "

SAMADHI
Welcome to your world boys and girls,
we are guided by imagination!
We will spiral and whirl, we will spin and swirl
this love out into every nation
I believe it is time for us all to align,
and unify ourselves once again
This is our chance to dance and see we are free
angels in the world of men
(jig)
Dance and be free
Sing Samadhi
Dance and be free
Sing Samadhi
Samadhi! Samadhi! Samadhi! Samadhi!
(solo dance piece)
Dance and be free
Sing Samadhi
Dance and be free
Sing Samadhi
Samadhi! Samadhi! Samadhi! Samadhi!
Let us Sing Samadhi, Bring Samadhi
Live Samadhi and Love Samadhi
Learn Samadhi, Teach samadhi
Walk Samadhi, Talk Samadhi
Feel Samadhi, Be Real Samadhi
Flow with Samadhi, let's go with Samadhi
Ring with samadhi, now let's sing samadhi!
With Crystal Soufer on Vocals, and sweet laughter!
With special guests
