I wrote "City Athena" in February of 2021 as a commission for the Museum of Art and History in Santa Cruz, California. It was recorded in April with Tauvin Pursley at Invertebrate Records. This is take 2 of the recording, the levels were left untouched and then it was mastered. This is my authentic live sound as a solo musician with this system of sound I have developed. I released my first four albums in 2018 and 2019 through my project The Haunted Theatre. I think this music sounds best turned way up on your speakers, loud enough to break a glass in the kitchen, or through noise cancelling headphones, the bass is magic and those are just my preferences. "City Athena" was mastered in October by Bozho Lasich in San Francisco, California. It is the first song off my fifth album. I am working on a video for it. Released to flight from Vampy The Vampyre Camper

in Abiquiu, New Mexico on 01/11/22.

Thank you for listening, Bright Heart. Sending you love with the song and it is my wish that you will be uplifted by it.

“City Athena” by Sabine Silver

My eyes see the sunrise, hail Apollo of morning ride

Light the sky lanterns, forever never dies

Sail a spirit of listening to the graveyards of evergreen

Wheel of jack tar is a weeping star

These are the graves of the fish suns

They are the fish suns

They climb the lace up the western sky above the lyre of spiderweb

These are the graves of the fish suns, these are the graveyards of the fish suns, graveyards of the fish suns, graveyards of the fish suns

These are the graves of the fish suns, these are the graveyards of the fish suns, graveyards of the fish suns, graveyards of the fish suns, forever, forever never dies!

Forever golden harp!

Civic order sow, city Athena appease, city Athena appease

It is what is fair in their thoughts of air

City Athena appease

The morning star is never far, the morning star

Forever never dies!

City Athena appease

The morning star is never far, the morning star

Forever never dies!

City Athena appease, city Athena

This is the sleeping of, this is the sleeping of the dead, it is what they are

This is the blessing of, this is the blessing of the dead, it is what we are

These are the graves of the fish suns, these are the graveyards of the fish suns, graveyards of the fish suns, graveyards of the fish suns graveyards of the fish suns, graveyards of the fish suns

To the souls that listen to my music, thank you deeply. I love you through the music. I have become a woman and musician that is very sparing on social media for personal safety reasons as well as my introverted nature and the movement of life and transformation. I like to post blog updates on my website and will always share new music on here. The truth is that the accumulations of pushing my music for 6 years real hard, and everything that happened in my personal life last year, family dynamics and in my adventures with my boat home project I had a nervous breakdown in August 2021, I was trying to do too much on my own at that point and needed to recover and I am finally doing really good now this late springtime 2022. I am working on my fifth album and there is so much I want to say, and I will share of myself musically when I am ready to again. I will not rush this record. My life is calling me to another path to explore other interests. I will continue to create my roots in my homeland of California where I have lived most of my life and have a trusted safety net and support system, and it is where I thrive best in health and heart near the water. My wonderful family is thriving. I am in a beautiful relationship with an incredble man, and I am happy. I feel like a different person than who I was last year at this time, wiser and richer in experience. I look forward to the day we meet again during a show. I don't think I can play on the street for a long time, if ever again, that was a magical project and I am very grateful for everything it taught me, I am a regular chick and am very affected by stalking and feeling unsafe in those ways, it is in my bones and I developed agoraphobia, sometimes it felt extreme. I am a high functioning autistic and this has been my obsession for so long, my harp. Now I must care even deeper for my nervous system, and I would rather have peace of mind as a female, mother, sister, partner, daughter, then continue to put myself in a volatile position as a performance artist reguarding that issue. I kind of just don't have the heart anymore for it. But in time. I will continue to grow and strive to be the best woman I can be and my show will be more evolved when shared from the stages again in the future. Thank you for listening to my music and supporting my art like this, and I hope that you enjoy the music I have released in my 33 years on this planet. 

Love,

Santa Cruz MAH "Beyond The Grave"
Performances, April 2021

It was my honour to participate in an event for the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History!

I was commissioned to create an original piece of music with harp and vocals to be performed before an audience at the beautiful and historic Evergreen Cemetary in Santa Cruz. I created City Athena, to be released soon.

Both nights of the performances sold out which was wonderful. 

It was a dream gig for me, I worked very hard on this piece inspired by this place of history, and I was very excited to share it with my community in an amplified performance within my favorite peaceful graveyard, the one I like to visit anytime I need to feel a greater depth of connection to my own life and ancestors. The song is 27 minutes in length, it was my intention to honor with music the living present there and those who rest within the Evergreen Cemetary.

Crossing under the Golden Gate, a solo mariner's adventure at the Lion's Gate Portal Moon in July 2021

July 20th, 2021 Blog

Hello my friends, I hope you are doing well. I apologize with all my heart if anyone needed harp therapy recently and my harp and I were not there. I will be back to sharing music on the street this weekend. I have been in New Mexico and also docked at the marina in Vallejo, I've been growing and learning and healing from shatter and a toll that caught up with me playing solo on the street, fear of being out in the world, strange fears of being in any form, however the tides are changing and my boat and I arrived safe at home a few days ago in my local Santa Cruz harbor, near my favorite anchorage, and I'll be getting back to musical work. My dream came true, making the journey here. Sometimes I need to do some wild s**t to make the light return in my eyes, so I crossed under the golden gate bridge and 2 miles beyond on my own after 5 hours of travel, howl of hail poseidon, I planned to reach Pillar Point that evening but found the waters to be too rough on the channel, so I pulled into Schoonmaker Marina in Sausalito, where the most wonderful group of artists and fishermen helped me to find the right person to complete the rest journey with me, a fisherman who has worked in the Bering Sea, the Gulf of the Farallones and Monterey Bay all his life. I am very grateful to those souls, and to my family, I found my heart and trust lighthouse again and I prayed as we traveled on the sea at night and the waves were big and rolley that all of the music I have made in life to honor the gods would help my Apollo boat and I to arrive safely home. The swells upon my boat that night were the sound of the loudest heartbeat, I'll never forget it, I love wild adventures in life, I held to my vision of being here and I can barely believe its here now. I missed my friends. I am so looking forward to sharing music with you all again, I still need to share my recent song, I keep thinking about that, I want to do that soon, I have a lot of adventure time to put into a video for that song. Here are a few pictures of jewelry comissions I completed this last month, if you would like a personal power talisman, just let me know, its one of my favorite things to create. There is a picture I took just before I crossed under the golden gate bridge the first time and initiated myself, I am proud of the work done, I am proud of my boat, and my life and heart has been changed by a community of beautiful hearts coming together to assist me. One thing I have learned, being raised in religion growing up, and what I released when I left, that there are no intermediaries between us and the divine. No one initiates me but myself and life, no priest or priestess or shaman, I felt great forces of divinity working this weekend, and the awesome power of the sea, it made me weep, the one other time I also felt this way was when I birthed my twins who are 9 without any painkillers, I had to surrender to these forces of nature, to the god forces, and be in the space of this ultimate soul shattering trust. Well, I just wanted to share these few things today and I'm looking forward to sharing music again soon, I remember after another period of feeling completely detatched from any identity form that I am on a musician path in this life and it is my honour and duty and great love. I'd like to quit being too shy or something to share online my previous album recordings, because I do love them and I am proud of them and feel they belong in the world too. I want to catalyze with greater wisdom a new chapter in my musical life with sunlight and by the light of our nearly full moon. Thank you so much for reading, dear souls. Love, Sabine
