Title track ‘Peace In Mind’ was inspired by American writer, speaker, and self-styled ‘philosophical entertainer’ Alan Watts, an individual known for his interpretation and popularising of Buddhist, Taoist, and Hindu philosophy for a Western audience.
A deeply spiritualistic artist, Sherry became inspired by one particular teaching noted by Watts:“True serenity is found by merging with the flow of existence rather then fighting it“
Sherry explains, “‘Peace In Mind’ is song about how everyday we can really flow creatively and emotionally, or struggle. As we all walk our own paths in life, we are all just trying to find peace in mind wherever we can.”
‘Peace In Mind”s music video was filmed and edited by Brendan McElroy (Pixil Media) on location in County Monaghan.
Bathed in haze, the video reflects the quiet, deeply human search for inner peace.
