The Song Gardeners are the most exciting new age band on the planet. They have literally changed the course of the genre over the last few years with their upbeat, almost pop mantra style, with many hit singles and a superb debut album, they are now trail blazers for this type of music.

In this time of global chaos and war, The Song Gardeners’ New Age Pop single, “Send Love to Everyone (Heal the Divide),” is a call to open arms and open hearts. The simple but profound message is repeated over and over in a chant-like fashion, supported by an eclectic grouping of instruments and intensifying vocal harmonies. The instrumental break offers a pause for contemplation of the message and sense of urgency.
Written by Mary Gospe and Corrie Dunn, the lyrics and melody of the first verse and chorus dropped in while Mary was meditating…
Send love to everyone, send love to everyone
no matter what they have done
Send love to everyone
We heal the divide when we stop taking sides
We heal the divide when we stop taking sides
Corrie wrote the second verse:
Send peace to everyone, send peace to everyone
Open your heart, hold out your hand
Send peace throughout the land
The song has a 60s live band vibe and features both Mary and Corrie taking turns on lead and backing vocals, including a call and response in the outro. Layering in vocal harmonies to the mantra-like ending is Mary’s son, singer-songwriter Zach Gospe. Her husband, Mike Gospe, added mandolin. James Butler provided drums, percussion, bass and synth. David Scheibner contributed guitar, synth and percussion as well as produced, mixed and mastered the recording.
