Meadow Lane 05:25
I wander, wondering where this life has taken me What’s next in this mystery? I don’t know where to go but that’s life I’m going back to remember what is my name I hope beginnings will help me find answers To questions in my mind Can I learn to fly and rise above the clouds? I weave through the path With sun shining down on the meadow lane

I'll look for you at the water's edge I'll cling to you once I have found you But I am scared that there is nobody there How can I know what's really true? For you are in the shape of the eyes which seek to find you And I am still afraid to let go of things that I call mine Oh I am weak, I am But I'm only sure of the springtime in autumn, And I feel the Earth and I know that you are here Do you love me, like I love you? Will you love me as I am?

I Hear You 08:20
Opening poem written and spoken by Emily Steinwall: In a dream I saw A woman with braided hair And a raven on top of her head. I know her She is my grandmother And lives in my womb. She makes my mind suffer And cackles in delight. She tells me: “Do not fear the chaos in your body For you are here to dance with it. Do not fear the power in your voice For you are here to shake the stars. Do not fear the crashing waves of the ocean Which break mountains And swallow islands whole. Do not fear the chaos in your body For one day you will birth flowers From your rotting flesh. Time walks in steps much longer than you. Do not fear your body For it is all that is at once.” Lyrics by Belinda Corpuz and Laura Swankey: I hear you I hear you Crossed the ocean, Sold everything for young love. Strangers traveling Hope for a new beginning. My strange lover became my broken home keeper The blind father missed the sick mother Keep the home, say your prayers, Scrub the floor, say your prayers, Feed the men, say your prayers. Keep the home, say your prayers, Scrub the floor, say your prayers, Feed the men, say your prayers. Keep the home, say your prayers, Scrub the floor, say your prayers, Birth my babe, on my knees, say my prayers. I hear you I hear you I hear you I was built to carry This sacrifice in my fresh skin. I choose to hear you My backbone will not cave in. Concluding poem written and sung by Belinda Corpuz, spoken by Paulina Copuz: In English: You made me an explorer I became something I thought I could never reach before You held strong in your womb Now I will carry you from Where you are Where you are Where you are is home And I am here With you In Tagalog: Ginawa mo akong manggagalugad Ako ay naging isang bagay na naisip kong hindi kailanman maabot Malakas mong kinimkim sa iyong sinapupunan Ako ang magdadala sa iyo mula sa Kung saan Kung saan Kung saang ikaw ay tahanan At narito ako Kasama ka

Ya me cansé de vivir sin cambiar Los días tan largos y la noche igual Mi hogar es bonito, no se puede negar Pero me hace falta algo más. Hay un terreno de pasión y sol Con alma palpable y esencia bella El momento que tocó mi pie al suelo Sabía que mi vida ya cambió México lindo, sister to my home Your spell upon me, fated as Persephone Never to stay in one place evermore La aventura ya es parte de mí Con espíritu lleno, me comprometí A pasar mi vida entre dos países Amando todo del norte al sur

about

After releasing 'Volume Two' we curated a vision for the future of the project: "Looking ahead, Collective Order plans to continue to become more inclusive and reflective of the musical and cultural diversity that Toronto has to offer."

In Volume Three, we created a collection of compositions inspired by our cultural heritages and personal experiences. Toronto is comprised of incredibly diverse and culturally rich communities and when we come together to collaborate, we aim to eliminate imaginary boundaries and establish new traditions.

Finally, we want to acknowledge the land that we are on and in keeping with the collaborative nature of Collective Order, the opening title is a composition written to accompany a traditional land acknowledgement by Native-Canadian artist Melanie Montour.
