I wrote a special song called Swimming with Dolphins with my dear friend Alan Roy Scott on the beautiful Irish island of Inisheer, which has a wild dolphin who loves to swim freely with people. This song is about love, about being free-from our conceptions about ourselves, our conceptions of others, and our attachments to suffering. It is about following the wild dolphins who show us how to laugh and love and sing in our power. Alan and I hope to produce this song with full pop production soon!

Swimming with Dolphins will appear on Erika's album for peace and empowerment, Stand Together! Stay tuned:

lyrics

I went as far away as I could get from you
to an isolated island, population 22
Walked on an empty beach
There were footprints in the sand
I came here to be alone
It’s not going how I planned
I swam in the ocean
thinking is this is how I die?
In the freezing water something caught my eye
I knew I should be afraid
but somehow I felt free
Something was leading me
to where I’m meant to be

Now I’m swimming with dolphins
riding the waves just letting go
feel the wind rushin' through my soul
calls to me
Swimming with dolphins
part of the family of life
I’m feeling totally alive
out at sea
Swimming with dolphins

I feel the winds of change, cause everything makes sense
on the way to better times you gotta first go through the depths
but it’s all what you learn from it
that’s how you move ahead
I accepted being alone, and I found love instead

So come with me in the ocean
The water is just fine
Want to show you something
that’s gonna blow your mind
I used to be afraid
but you have set me free
Now your love is leading me
to where I’m meant to be

We’ll go swimming with dolphins
Riding the waves just letting go
Feel the wind rushing through my soul
Calls to me
Swimming with dolphins
Part of the family of life
Just feeling totally alive
out at sea
Swimming with dolphins
Riding the waves just letting go
Feel the wind rushin' through my soul
Calls to me
Swimming with dolphins
Part of the family of life
I’m feeling totally alive
out at sea
Swimming with Dolphins

Erika Kulnys Nova Scotia

"...ingenious intellect and activist zeal of Ani DiFranco with the poetic skepticism of Leonard Cohen, Kulnys is cementing her place in history...ballad-aesthetic of Tori Amos...craftsmanship vast as the Atlantic. Spin the cheekiness of Dolly Parton with overt sexuality of Kinnie Starr, and toe-tapping rhythms of Colleen Power to conjure up her multi-dimensional talents.” - Shannon Webb-Campbell ... more
