In accordance with the 15th Annual Season For Nonviolence (http://www.agnt.org/nod), this exciting project is set to launch on Monday, January 30th, and will feature a daily offering of an original song that addresses themes such as peace, love, hope, healing, forgiveness, freedom, gratitude, joy and oneness. Each song—whether in the form of a chant, mantra, hymn or refrain—lasts from three-to-five minutes and is intended for singing and/or playing along, either individually or in groups.

Once subscribed, you will receive an email each day, with “64 Songs” in the subject, containing a link to an MP3 of that day’s song, as well as lyrics and chord changes. Thank you for supporting this project! Let us see, in lifting our voices together, if music truly has the power to transform the world!
