Kiva\u2019s cd \u201cOut of the Corner of the Eye<\/strong>\u201d is their ninth recording since the bands birth in 1990.\u00a0 The cd is a collaboration of songs based on fey folk and the world they dwell in.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The band, with talented guest and a specialized set of instruments (cello, guitar, flutes, didgeridoo, violin, bass, and mandolin) recreated a world many of us wondered about and wish we were actually living in.\u00a0 With each song and story being told you can feel yourself being swept into the story as if Alice in Wonderland.<\/p>\n

While listening to the music and lyrics I am easily reminded of being back in the Renaissance perhaps of being part of a midnight summer eve.\u00a0 The title track \u201cOut of the Corner of the Eye\u201d is a story told by a fey.\u00a0 How they move throughout our life only letting us seeing them through the corner of our eyes. Making us wonder if we are sane are they real?\u00a0 The song \u201cIn Praise of Winter\u201d by Ariana Lightningstorm is one of my favorites as this will be my first winter in years.\u00a0 I just moved to Colorado and I find this song a fun, look at winter coming along.\u00a0 Way too many people look at snow and winter as sad instead of cleansing and beautiful.\u00a0\u00a0 The wind instruments throughout this cd are awesome and the musicians that play them are to be commended for their talent.<\/p>\n

\u201cFairie Glen,\u201d fairies playing in a field, that is the first thing that will come to your mind when you this song.\u00a0 \u201cRise up the Call,\u201d is one song on the cd to stop and make you think about your relationships and maybe think twice about appreciation.\u00a0 \u201cThe Coming and Going of the Fey<\u201d a whimsical little tune of the parading fey going on through out their day, their merry merry day.<\/p>\n

On a personal note, I have a fey garden and a fey village in my home.\u00a0 While listening to this cd, twice, I noticed that my fey had gathered in my living room around me.\u00a0 Some by my wine glass, some dancing to the music but mostly just enjoying the tunes.\u00a0 It had been quite a while since I had seen them as I think I had ruffle them since moving from Texas to Colorado.\u00a0 I love the beat, the rhythms, the collaborations, and the theme of the music and also thank KIVA for bringing my fey back.\u00a0 This is a great delightful cd with a very talented band from Washington DC.\u00a0 Be sure to check them out here is their website to see where they are performing.<\/p>\n
