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.

Lisbeth Scott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With your crown beneath your wing
Every word just echoes
And the empty world sings.
Where have you gone my feather-light heart?
I never imagined I could leave.
Of the lost and open sky
Tiny piece of you sits
Simple wish waits for reply
Where have you gone my feather-light heart?
You mustn't forget what love can see.
The lyrics of Lisbeth Scott's song Where are filled with poetic language and vivid imagery. The song seems to be about a person who has lost their sense of identity and is struggling to find their way back. The opening lines of the song set the tone for this mood, with the singer describing a day that is only half lit and a crown that is hidden beneath someone's wing. The theme of emptiness is further emphasized with the line, "Every word just echoes, and the empty world sings."
The chorus of the song reveals that the person the singer is addressing is their own "feather-light heart." The singer seems to be searching for something within themselves that they feel they have lost. The line "I never imagined I could leave" suggests that this loss may be one of innocence or naivety, something that the singer did not expect to lose.
The second verse of the song continues with the theme of loss and searching. The singer describes a "glistening" sky that is both lost and open. This may be a metaphor for the person's own consciousness or sense of self. The "tiny piece" of the person that is left is described as waiting for a reply to a "simple wish." This could be a reference to the desire for a return to a simpler time or a simpler way of being.
Overall, the lyrics of Lisbeth Scott's song Where are thoughtful and emotive. They explore themes of loss, identity, and the search for meaning in a poetic and evocative way.
Line by Line Meaning
On this half lit day
On this somewhat dark and cloudy day
With your crown beneath your wing
With your head bowed down in humility
Every word just echoes
Every spoken word reverberates and resonates
And the empty world sings
Even though the world seems hollow and devoid of life, it still sings
Where have you gone my feather-light heart?
Where have you disappeared to, my free-spirited heart?
I never imagined I could leave.
I never fathomed the possibility of abandoning my true nature
In the glistening
In the shimmering and sparkling
Of the lost and open sky
Of the vast and endless sky which appears to have no boundaries
Tiny piece of you sits
A small part of you remains behind
Simple wish waits for reply
A heartfelt desire patiently awaits fulfillment
You mustn't forget what love can see.
Never lose sight of the vision and insight that love provides.
