Trust –Cary Morin & Ghost Dog (BMI)In a time of social isolation, uncertainty, and division, Cary Morin’s newly re-recorded track, “Trust,” offers comfort and hope. Its slow, steady sway and warm, intimate vocals remind us to have faith in the present moment—and each other.
“Trust” is grounded in a moment of awakening during a September commute in Fort Collins, Colorado, Morin’s home of over 35 years. Lifting his eyes to the sun setting behind Horsetooth Rock, his thoughts become quiet and sacred truths reveal themselves. The foothills, evening breeze, and watercolor sunset inspire him to look inward. He realizes that victory is found in living an awakened life, in alignment with a greater purpose and in connection with all of humanity. He sings, “Trust in one another, sisters and brothers, / says the moon, our eldest mother, in the sky tonight.” The song has are laxed quality that lulls the listener and highlights Morin’s deeply affecting vocals. When Celeste DiIorio’s voice joins his, the harmonies are sweet and exhilarating; it’s as if the sacred itself were entering the song. Poignantly, the duo sings, “Yet in my reckoning, I want to be the best at what I do / and learn about humanity at every opportunity.”
“Trust” is an homage to a landscape and an anthem for our times. It reminds us that everything is alive, everyone is connected, and, despite the chaos of the outside world, a sense of refuge and purpose are always available if we stop, look, and listen.
Our new single,Trust, was released on February 15th, 2021!
