Between takes whilst recording the EP Desert Songs, the two songwriters Dawn Landes and Piers Faccini found inspiration for the songs they were writing together by walking in the stark and beautiful mountain scenery around Piers’s studio in the Cevennes region of the south of France. Chatting as they walked, they swopped tales of desert mystics and seekers that would inspire them to write the songs for their collaborative EP. Dawn and Piers wove the arrangements together using the rich collection of instruments in Piers’s studio, a Malian Kora, a 1930’s National resonator guitar, West African percussion and an Indian dulcimer and tampura.

Lyrics:
Show me the way to heaven's gate
Show me the way and i'll walk

Tell me the way to redemption's door
Time ticking on the clock
Tell me the way to redemptions door
Answer me when i knock

I'll follow them to jerusalem
It cant be that far
I'll follow them to jerusalem
Just tell me who they are

Show me the way to heaven's gate
Show me the way and i'll walk
Show me the way to heavens gate
Listen when i talk

Birds have wings and winds to fly
They carry no demands
We have notes and songs that cry
praying with our hands

All the mistakes a man can make
being on this road so long
All the mistakes a man can make
Must they all be wrong

Show the me the way to heavens gate
Now that i forgot
Show the me the way to heavens gate
Show me the face of god
