I sing to comfort, heal, move, transport and awaken the divine voice within us all.

Being a singer was something Lisbeth Scott only dreamed about now and then as a child. Raised as a classical pianist headed for a concert career practicing hours a day, she ran away to California as soon as she could and began to discover her voice. Someone heard her singing and playing piano for a modern dance class in the hills of Idyllwild and suggested her voice for a score by composer Hans Zimmer. That was all it took. Scott’s uniquely moving and shiver inducing voice has been heard on literally hundreds of films. John Williams wrote a 5 minute solo specifically for her in the score for Spielberg’s film “Munich”. She was the featured vocalist and co-lyricist for the John Debney score to the film “The Passion of the Christ”. She was the featured vocalist and songwriter for the Disney film “The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe”., and will again appear on the new “Prince Caspian”. While her film work was gaining momentum, Scott was busy honing her craft as an artist in her own right. She recorded and produced four critically acclaimed CDs of her solo work Two of which were named album of the year by New Age Voice. She was the featured vocalist and co-writer for Paul Schwartz’ RCA releases “State of Grace (I and II) and “Earthbound”, all of which spent more than 10 weeks on Billboard’s Top Ten list. Scott has toured the world as both a solo artist and a featured vocalist for Paul Schwartz, John Debney, Harry Gregson Williams, performing with a 100 piece symphony orchestra one night and accompanying her own singing on piano, guitar, harmonium and dulcimer the next.

Early on, Scott made a decision to use her voice as an instrument of healing no matter the context in which it appeared. This continues to be her main focus. Not only is Scott producing material as a solo artist now, she has recently collaborated with the Danish group Bliss and will appear on 6 tracks of their upcoming EMI release in May. Scott and Greg Ellis have formed a duo called Biomusique which will release their debut on Kosmic Music on May 13th. Biomusique will be touring quite a bit this summer. Ellis and Scott will also be joining the earthy and joyful group Medicine Drum (Chris Decker) on their summer 2008 tour. The fall will see a new solo Lisbeth Scott release in the works now, as well as a new film scored by Scott and Greg Ellis, who also produced the score.

BEG
Lisbeth Scott Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Inside my ancient dreams
your lips are the rolling sea
your arms forever cradle me

Soft pillow cloud of mine
I soak your fortune in
All light and rain you once have been

I beg the sky... I beg the moon
May I become your wings
May I become your wings

My feathered carriage waits
for me in your longing wake
Deliver me from my heart's ache

And when my silver moon
shall turn to a softer blue
perhaps I will have rescued you

I beg the sky... I beg the moon
May I become your wings
May I become your wings

I beg the sky
I beg the moon

May I become your wings
May I become your wings
