Our first music video is finally here!

"Didn't I Tell You" features our version of Rumi’s famous poem as a song set to soothing acoustic music, from our upcoming album Rumi's Hidden Music, along with striking images that tell the story.
 
Here’s what people are saying about it:

Rumi’s Hidden Music album release rescheduled for Spring 2015

We’re still working on getting the tracks finished for our album.  We want to make it as lovely as possible, and it’s turned out to be a slower process than we expected, but we hope to have the CD in your hands by Spring.  In the meantime, we plan to feature a few more songs in music videos, to give you something sweet to listen to and share with friends.  We appreciate your support and patience with our first big music project!
 

How to keep connected with us on social media

The way that Social media works keeps changing, and we’re finding we need to adjust our communication practices to work with it.  In particular, with the growing popularity of Facebook and their increasing commercialization, it has become more difficult for independent bands to rely on Facebook posts to reach their fans.  At best, 8-10% of our Facebook followers on average will ever see our posts, unless we pay to promote them.  So even if you want to hear from us and “like” our page, that doesn’t mean Facebook will show you what we post.
 
HOWEVER, there is something you can do to increase the likelihood you’ll get our posts in your news feed.  Go to our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/oceandropsmusic), and if you haven’t already, at the top, click the Like button.  Then, next to “Liked,” click the drop-down arrow and click “Get Notifications” to tell Facebook you’d like to hear from us.
 
Google+, on the other hand, seems to be working better to get the word out to our fan base.  If you’re not already active on Google+, you may want to consider establishing an account – it’s free and easy and virtually –free of obnoxious ads, and you’ll be more likely to get all our latest news, music videos and cool Rumi quotes. Make sure you go to our page (https://plus.google.com/+OceanDropsMusic) and “Follow” us.
 
(Email is still the surest way to stay in touch, so PLEASE SUBSCRIBE BELOW - and let us know if you change your email address.)
