"Ah, Romance And Perspective" by Zoe Fitch.

There is some music that is just plain good for the soul. The music I am talking about has the ability to touch the mind because it is intelligently written and kind-spirited, in touch with God's creation - without becoming idolatrous. Zoe Fitch is a Canadian artist from New Brunswick who manages to write spiritually minded music about communion with nature, relationships with other people, and with God. Her love for God and others comes across as sincere without being trite as she embraces topics such as suffering, the sovereignty of God, relationships, fidelity, nature, joy and pain.

The simple acoustic guitar melodies with occasional secondary instruments such as drums, or cello create calm and beautiful spaces for reflection and appreciation for life. My wife and I have turned on the songs before night to help us center ourselves in Christ, in appreciation of the closing of the day and the gifts that we have experienced from those around us, from God's creation. Some nights though I am unable to fall asleep because the songs tell great stories of love, hope, and trials and as the songs are sung and woven it is as if a bard is telling them and I must hear the stories one more time. Some of the songs have a wee bit of distortion that comes from the production, but that only adds to the beauty of owning a piece of art that you can't find unless someone recommends it to you.

I highly recommend this album. You will be moved and touched by its beauty.

As far as I can tell you cannot get the songs on iTunes. But you can Google her to hear some samples of her music. And perhaps you can find an email to mail her and buy one of the CD's.  You can hear some of her songs here.
