“Rest In Your Fields” begins with a breathy flute and funky guitar tones with Stephen’s laidback vocals and jazzy percussion backed by beautiful melodies that carry the choruses into heavenly bliss. The earthy flute, jazzy percussion, and alternative folk stylings are very contemporary overall with a nod to neo-classical and breezy, Brazilian melodies and rhythms. The gurgling guitar vibes and sweet vocals make it enjoyable and easy to digest.
lyrics
how could i ever put into words,
it could only hint and lead, of a love like this,
filled and overflowing, even just the thought of you.
you are around and within me,
and i rest in your fields, and lay upon your grasses,
swim in your oceans, and climb upon your mountains,
i rest in your fields. i rest in you.
in your life, in mine and ours divine.
many worlds merge into one. with space to find.
our own way, in our own time.
well its all the same from so many sides,
but are there ever really sides at all.
we know the answers, you can tell by our smiles
the flush of bliss that rises and falls.
emanates, vibrates from us all.
its the comfortable hum of silence calling me,
the peacefulness of music...
she's calling me home,
she's calling me home, she' calling me.
and i'm home… wherever i roam…
and i'm home… wherever i roam…
and i'm home… home.. home.. home…
where ever i roam.
and i rest in your fields, and lay upon your grasses,
swim in your oceans, and climb upon your mountains,
i rest in your fields.
smile in your sunshine and dance in your raindrops.
yes i rest in your fields, i rest in you.
i rest in you.
Stephen Cogswell is a remarkable singer and songwriter with a knack for creating island beats and breezy tunes that are not
too unlike music by Xavier Rudd, Dave Matthews, Jack Johnson, and even Darius Rucker. The vocals are strong, poetic, and earthy throughout. If a beach had a soundtrack: Floating would be the answer.
