Quiet Sonia - "In My Arms Many Flowers"
Clocking in at over 10 minutes, “In My Arms Many Flowers” was written as an attempt to “channel into a stream of pure undisturbed empathy”. Quiet Sonia’s medium to tap into that current was to mine some of the transcendental work of guitarist like Robbie Basho and James Blackshaw while layering atop some incredibly beautiful strings and piano. Around the four minute marks, the deep baritone of Quiet Sonia come in. Drawing comparisons to Leonard Cohen’s plainspoken art-song and Matt Beringer’s pathos-filled baritone, "In My Arms Many Flowers" flows in and out of these modes, as if trying different locks to open the door to some cosmic corridor that we see glimpses of through the keyhole.
