Song information
'Whispers of the Wind' is a song about connecting with the spirit of the land and the Māori people who came before us. It follows the quiet moment after a hard climb through the New Zealand high country a few years ago — boots dusty, and the awe of it all — when the world opens up and you feel something deeper than just a view.

I'm trying to capture the stillness at the top of the ridge, where the wind carries more than just air — it carries memory. You can almost hear the voices of the old ones in the trees, feel their footsteps in the stone, and sense their stories in the land below. It’s not just about the beauty of the place, but about what that place holds: history, spirit, and belonging.

Set to a simple acoustic tune, the song lets the words breathe.
Gemma takes on the lead vocal here as she has an ethereal celtic tone in her voice suited to the Celtique style we got going on here.

I asked Garni to join us on this song to put down a layer of synth pads/string sections to add to the airiness I was trying to capture here. The instrumental break gives you space to take it all in — like sitting back and just listening to the wind.

'Whispers of the Wind' is about respect — for the land, for the ancestors, and for the stories that still live all around us.

Lyrics
WHISPERS OF THE WIND
by Mojca Czarka

Verse 1

Dust on my boots, breath running slow,

Climbed through the silence where only winds go.

Now I sit still, where the kea flies free,

Sky all around, and the world under me.

Chorus

High on the ridge, I feel their flame,

The old ones whisper in the mountain's name.

Their footsteps linger in stone and sky

I see with their eyes when the clouds drift by.

Verse 2

The valleys below hold stories untold,

Carved in the earth, in the rivers and gold.

I hear the songs in the rustle of trees,

Their spirit lives on in the breath of the breeze.

Chorus

High on the ridge, I feel their flame,

The old ones whisper in the mountain's name.

Their footsteps linger in stone and sky
I see with their eyes when the clouds drift by.

INSTRUMENTAL

Bridge
The wind speaks names I’ve never known,
Echoes of fire, of flesh, of bone.
I close my eyes and feel them near,
Their voices rising, strong and clear.

Chorus

High on the ridge, I feel their flame,

The old ones whisper in the mountain's name.

Their footsteps linger in stone and sky
I see with their eyes when the clouds drift by.
