If We Had Known

Here’s a song for the curious among us. If we knew the future, would we still pursue our present lives? This might apply to birds and trees as well as us. In my mind, this is a beautiful song. And earlier I had posted “Maricie’s Song,” which had a lot of “listens” but which mysteriously disappeared. So I’m reposting it with two versions.

If We Had Known
Maricie’s Song, first version
Maricie’s Song 2nd version


Maricie’s song was written to accompany my first novel, a fantasy piece that takes place in Miracavira, a dreamlike realm. One of the main characters is Maricie, a guide to this new world, who writes this song (to be sung purely in the mind) to bring me back from my ordinary world after things have gone south in Miracavira. It works, but you’d have to read the book to find out how.
