about

“Navarro” is a tiny town (population 163) in Mendocino County, CA where Little Gems attend The Redwood Ramble, an annual 4-day summer music festival. Velvy Appleton and Rebecca Chourré wrote this song about being there, and the nightly quest for musical, social, and spiritual connection... then, once found, reveling in that space till sunrise.

Little Gems recorded this song remotely at our respective NorCal homes, in respect for the Covid-19 social-distancing protocols. We tried to capture that feeling we love & miss so much-- of being together, jamming around the campfire, and communing with the mystical spirits of music.

In this time of global pandemic and isolation, the sentiment of “Navarro” brings us comfort.

lyrics

Navarro

I’ve gone out to look for you many a night,
With hope in my heart and a smile on my face.
It’s not easy finding your way without light,
And I go on wandering the night alone,
Til I find you.

I search around fires to look for your face,
Through shoulders hunched over that shut out the light.
I run into others who’re seeking the grace that’s where you are,
And we go on tripping the night away,
Til we find you.

Voices can drive away shadows
Until all the rays of the sun can reach
Down in the meadow,
Til your voice brings in the dawn.

The night closes round us as we plod along
(Starlight through black trees)
Each foot placed with feeling instead of with sight.
(Oooh nothing else can be seen)
One voice starts to break through the dark with a song.
(Sound pours into night)
We listen as we let it lead the way,
Til we find you.
There you are.

Voices can drive away shadows
Until all the rays of the sun can reach
Down in the meadow,
Til your voice brings in the dawn.

Ruts in the road can trip your way.
A steady arm reaches out to say:
(I can take you, we can...)
You don’t have to find your way alone.
Hold my hand and we’ll…
make our way back home.

When we’ve finally found you alone by the fire,
Guitar in hand waiting to play us a song,
Our voices lift up like the night’s own choir,
And we go on singing the night away,
Til we find you.
There you are.

(Sing your song!)
Voices can drive away shadows
Until all the rays of the sun can reach
Down in the meadow,
Til your voice brings in the dawn.
