I am taking on a music challenge where I find songs that match the spirit of each of the 78 cards in the Tarot. For the Four of Swords, I chose “Peace Somehow” by Avi Kaplan, a former member of the a cappella group Pentatonix.
The Four of Swords is all about taking a break from the rigors of life that can manifest as making difficult decisions, coming up with strategies to stay ahead of the game, and fighting off emotions in order to stay on track. The Four of Swords encourages rest, relaxation, and especially mediation to help clear the mind.
“Peace Somehow” is practically a guided meditation, with Kaplan’s bass voice seeming to come from the depths of the earth itself. It is a call to get out in nature and be in the moment. Or, you can close your eyes and imagine yourself being in an outdoor setting.
High on the mountain
Deep in the trees
Flow with the river
Fly on the breeze
Sunlight peeking through the rain
Take the toil and the pain
Breathe in
Breathe out
Find the peace somehow
Spirit is calling through the wind on the pine
Heal the heart, free the mind…
What do you think of this song choice? What songs remind you of the Four of Swords?
