Born of earth Born of goddess Born of earth Born of goddess She holds my life in the cup of her hands She weaves the web that encircles the lands And I know her In dreams and mushroom flight She comes to me In dance in ecstasy and I know I am Born of earth Born of goddess Born of earth Born of goddess She is woman she is untamed and wild She is the mother suckling her child And I know her Her whisper in the trees She comes to me In love in ecstasy And I know I am Born of earth Born of goddess Born of earth Born of goddess She holds my death in the palm of her hand She is spiral No beginning No end And I know her She is the seeds we sow She comes to me Skyclad in ecstasy And I know I am Born of earth Born of goddess Born of earth Born of goddess Born of earth.

In the beginning there was just one and the one was the void called Spirit Woman In the beginning there was just one and the one was the void called Spirit Woman Spirit Woman she dance so free, she dance so wild she's in ecstasy Spirit Woman she dance so free, she dance so wild she's in ecstasy Spirit Woman she touches herself as she dance so wild and dance so free Spirit Woman she touches herself as she dance so wild and dance so free Spirit Woman she starts to come as she dance so wild and dance so free Sprit Woman she starts to come, The big bang was the orgasm of spirit woman. The big bang was the orgasm of spirit woman. The first time she came out of her cunt burst the sun. The second time she made it out rose the moon. With her third climax, out flew the stars, venus, jupiter, neptune and mars. With a stroke of her clit she brought forth this planet. And where the juice of her fifth coming rained down on the earth, all the plants and the animals came into birth. With her sixth orgasm she made woman and man, Why did she do it ? Just cos she can! And then what did spirit woman do? She burst into song she sang loud and long In the beginning there was just one and the one was the void called Spirit Woman! In the beginning there was just one and the one was the void called Spirit Woman Spirit Woman she dance so free, she dance so wild she's in ecstasy Spirit Woman she dance so free, she dance so wild she's in ecstasy Spirit Woman she touches herself as she dance so wild and dance so free Spirit Woman she touches herself as she dance so wild and dance so free Spirit Woman she starts to come as she dance so wild and dance so free Sprit Woman she starts to come, The big bang was the orgasm of Spirit Woman. The big bang was the orgasm of Spirit Woman.

We are living in the time of the great turning Turning away from making war We are living in the time of the great turning Turning back to natural law Flowing with nature heals our spirits, going against her harms us all going against her harms us all

Depressed 02:51
Well I ain't feelin' right, no I ain't feelin' good You know I've lost my sense of humour I ain't living like I should I got pain in my brain , I got hurt in my heart Well I know I need to change some stuff, but I don't know where to start Where's it gone my intuition Where's it gone my will, Where's it gone my energy and my life of joy and thrills Maybe I ain't bin listening to spirit so she don't come knocking no more Maybe I ain't bin listening to spirit so she don't come a knocking no more Maybe I aint bin listening to spirit so she don't come knocking no more Maybe I aint bin listening to spirit so she don't come a knocking no more. So I mopes an' I tokes an' I hangs around So weeps an' I sleeps an' I stuffs my face So I mopes an' I tokes an' I hangs around So weeps an' I sleeps an' I stuffs my face Then I peels myself off the ceiling I drags myself up off the floor I goes off hunting for spirit, I goes hammering at her door I say give me back ma life of connection to the web of synchronicity Give me back ma joy in each new day and the knowledge that I am free. Well spirit smiles at me and she says with glee woman follow yer ecstasy Cos where yer passion lies is where spirit flies, so come on woman dance with me! So I started listening for spirit in the stillness of a dancing frenzy So I started listening for spirit, an spirit started talking to me! So I started listening for spirit in the stillness of a dancing frenzy So I started listening for spirit, an spirit started talking to me!

Rhythm is life, rhythm is life, rhythm is life I want to dance it! I want to dance the rushing of the waters I want to dance the swaying of the trees I want to dance the power of the mountain And the sunlight on the leaves Rhythm is life, rhythm is life, rhythm is life I want to dance it! I want to spiral into summer ecstasy, I want to harvest all me autumn fruits I want to go inside the dark of winter And to be reborn in spring Rhythm is life, rhythm is life, rhythm is life I want to dance it!

about

These songs reflect a life spent close to the land. These songs are songs of change, of protest and of healing. These songs map my journey, of learning to love myself and my womans body.
These songs were written to be sung and shared, they have travelled to circles, stages and camp fires in far off lands.
The style is my own, earthy quirky uplifting and bass heavy, with inspiration from the land.
I hope these songs make you dance, laugh and sing!

“rooty, lucious, sumptuous and moving” Sarah Mooney - Storyteller

“Cuntrageously awakening songs to remember the best things in life by”
Hele Oakley - Shiatsu Practitioner

"Rooh Star's songs are born from the mud, the hedgerow, the winding road. After years travelling with her home in a handcart, this nomadic spirit runs through her music, these are stories of our connection to our ancestors, our love of the earth and great cackling odes to life's lunacies..

Songs like clay pots to hold our joy, our pain and our longing."

The Hedgewitch Times.

about

Rooh Star Totnes, UK

Rediscovered my singing voice sat up a tree on a road protest in the 90s.....nearly fell out the tree and was so glad to be alive I started singing with the birds. Wrote my first song a few weeks later and not stopped singing since.
