Single: “Spiraling Up”
Arriving June 27, 2025
“Spiraling Up” is an energizing pop rock anthem that lifts us out of fear and confusion into new possibilities for freedom and unity. Listeners are invited to shake off worry and anxiety and dance their way into a state of love, compassion and joyful optimism. It’s a conscious shift in perspective—from focusing on problems to feeling empowered to create a world where everyone thrives.
With influences of The Alan Parsons Project, ELO and ABBA, “Spiraling Up” begins with an acoustic guitar, Wurlitzer organ, piano motif and four-on-the-floor drum beat. The driving bassline sets the stage for Mary Gospe on lead vocals to guide us on a journey of transformation…
We’re seeing through this 3D illusion
The world in chaos, fear and confusion
Whatever’s not for the good of all
Is breaking down, will crumble and fall
We all can seek better solutions
In this high frequency revolution
Working together in community
Creating endless possibilities
Birthing new earth, the new paradigm
Where everything’s divinely aligned
The chorus music supports the lyric with the addition of ascending string arpeggios.
We’re spiraling up, higher and higher
We’re not giving up, we’re reaching for the stars
We’re spiraling up, brighter and wiser
Filled with compassion and love in our hearts
The bridge shifts into half-time as Mary describes the tipping point in human consciousness–from fear and divisiveness toward unity, truth and freedom. The angelic harmonies by Corrie Dunn and David Scheibner and etheric atmosphere allow listeners to pause and choose the light and upward path.
Now’s the time, we’re at the tipping point
There’s no turning back, we’ve made our choice
In truth and freedom, we unite
Dissolving the darkness with our light
The “Spiraling Up” lyric was written by Mary Gospe, David Scheibner and Wendy von Oech and David composed the music. The recording features Mary’s commanding and warm vocals; Corrie Dunn’s celestial harmonies; James Butler’s tasty drums, guitars, strings, synths, and Wurlitzer; and David Scheibner’s masterful bass, drums, guitars, percussion, piano, strings, synths, and backing vocals. David also produced, mixed and mastered the recording.
