THIS STORM (Official Video) - Catherine MacLellan and Tara MacLean
There is nothing harder than being separated from the people you love. Whether by distance or death, the human heart is no stranger to grief. Grief has been described as “Love with nowhere to go”. THIS STORM is an antidote to grief, releasing of love and expressing a trust in the deep wisdom that this too shall pass. All we need to do is hold on.
Written and recorded by Tara MacLean and Catherine MacLellan while in self-isolation - miles apart - and with friends Natalie Williams-Calhoun (cello) and Mark Westberg (mixing/mastering).
This video is a big, warm hug from Tara, Catherine and all of PEI to the rest of the world.

This Storm
When the world is spinning round and round
Ashes ashes we all fall down
When we wake up in a scary dream
And all we want is to go back to sleep
I love you more than ever
Soon we’ll be together
In each other’s arms
I know it will be alright
It’s just gonna take some time
So hold on through this storm
When the only way to hold you near
Is to call you on the phone from here
And you tell me that you’re feeling scared
Know that I am with you everywhere
I love you more than ever
Soon we’ll be together
In each other’s arms
I know it will be alright
It’s just gonna take some time
So hold on through this storm
