ilo veyou
universal love
without the “you,” without the “I,” without the “love”
the body is a chapel
mine sheltered a child for nine months
the child heard songs being written from within
and from within I sang them to him
with my woman’s voice and my choir of children—the good ones, the bad ones—
everywhere I went
in the street, in music rooms, in the amniotic silence of chapels
sometimes accompanied by a gallant guitar, sometimes enveloped by a string quartet with notes so close to the human voice, sometimes a cappella,
the child inside vibrated
the child was born
the album is out
here it is
it’s for him
it’s for you
I took the time to make it
the time of a lifetime

"Ilo Veyou" is a stripped-down, acoustic, organic, a cappella album about love, recorded under unusual circumstances, with unique acoustics, sometimes live, sometimes with a string quartet, or even in unusual venues like a chapel.
