Point of No Return 02:21
lyrics
There... There's the change in breathing pattern, the end is near. Hold your hands and love you dear; Death is coming, you've passed the point of no return. So breathe and love, and hold you close. And cry for me, my love, for you must go. And hold your hands and pray your suffering ends, The breath has changed you've passed the point of no return.

about

Welcome, friend.

With You to The Threshold is an audible representation of grief and the journey of accompanying a loved one in the process of dying. As such, it is for you. Yes, YOU.

If you are grieving, I hope it makes you feel recognised and un-alone in the process; and ultimately brings you hope and healing.

If you are not grieving…it is quite certain you will be at some point, as death is part of life. I hope this album may acquaint you a little with grief and listening to it grows compassion in your heart.

If you have known grief and your heart and your life have expanded beyond it, I salute your brave soul, we are of the same ilk.

There is beauty, there is hope and there is love.

We invite you on a journey of emotional discovery. With a combination of western classical instruments, world instruments, and poignant vocals, With You to The Threshold will walk you through the barren landscape of loss, towards sanctuary, peace and light. As such, we recommend you find a quiet space in your life to listen to the tracks in order, and we invite you to lie down, sit, walk, dance or move in anyway your body wants you to.

Cristina Crespo York, UK

I’m interested in exploring the sound of things unsaid, the voice of hidden perception; the subconscious landscape that permeates our lives and our every action. Connection has been a central theme in my work; connection to oneself, others, nature and beyond.
I’m still listening to the unknown, feeling the vulnerability of it all and writing about it. ... more
