"Tatiana" was written as an accompaniment to a short story, one of a collection inspired by the mist-covered mountains of the Pacific Northwest. In the story, a mysterious young girl walks into a village leading her small horse, with only a silken thread for a bridle. The villagers find that, as she walks along the main pathway through the town, the snow begins to melt. The cold and darkness they have endured are overcome with warmth and light. The people grow to love her, both as the lovely, innocent child she is, and as their protector. After a time she is forced to leave for her own safety, but she does not abandon the people she has grown to love. Each night she sits on a hillside nearby, just outside the magical realm from which she came, and sings, spinning the oceans of light and warmth that flow into the village with the coming day. TATIANA Oh Tatiana waits for the day in the silence she's singing shadows away shadows away Oh Tatiana toils through the night in her sorrow she's weaving oceans of light oceans of light Written and recorded by Lynda Johnson, mixed by Mike Roskelley
