Around the camping fire under the bright lit light stars of mimiwhangata the warm sand under our feet.
The smell of freshly cooked kai drifts through the crisp night air from my fathers daily spear fish dive. The sweet sweet sound of my beloved fathers guitar carries softly over the mountains singing as one with the birds telling stories of time.
Good Ole Heart'y life is inspired by my father Glenn James Mcnicoll who was my biggest believer of my music, my band, my songs. He always taught me new tricks on the guitar and played open d tuning everyday, this was the last guitaring he taught me.
Thank you my Father, see you on the other side.

love
your favorite daughter.
River is the fourth single to be released off
Bridey Rose's debut album, “My Heart's Army". she plans to reveal the album in full on all platforms through a journey of releases over the next 6 months.
River is a journey deep through memories of childhood, warmth, and love.
Beautifull light energy.
On the journey through adulthood, we are facing many blows of lifes lessons.
Loss of love, and loss of loved ones.
The challenge to call your broken spirit back into your body, turn the hurt into love, and keep your flame for life glowing strong.
As you breathe and learn to focus on presence.
To allow our river to flow freely , we must go with the current of lifes direction ........ without feeling the need to hang onto the river bank too tightly.
What will be will be..... the weight is lifted and we are free.
My Heart's Army is a tale of love lost and courage. Emotions unravelled and unveiled. Dark versus light.
A battle to Woman Up.

The album was recorded with award winning producer Paul Pilsonic, in the mountains of Byron Bay in the winter of 21.
