Biography Anna Bateman - Vocals Ren Kennedy - Vocals Don Stagg - Keyboards Jozef Pilasanovic - Guitar / Bass Gary Flint - Drums going past self-created illusions that limit our growing and changing... Odonata is Ren Kennedy (Vocals/lyrics, Anna Bateman (vocals/lyrics), Don Stagg (composer/arranger/ lyricist & keyboard), Joszef Pilasanovic(Guitar/Bass), and Gary Flint (Drums). The four songs chosen for the single shows how bringing these five elements together can render diverse and unique songs, each with its own flavor and message.. He Touched My Soul, music and lyrics by Don Stagg, is a song of reminiscence and the fragility of love. Spirit, music by Don Stagg, lyrics by Don Stagg and Ren, is a duet of between humanity and deity. Pacis, music by Don Stagg, lyrics by Ren, is a prayer of peace. Snapshot music and lyrics by Don Stagg, reminds the listener to cherish memories and moments. Listening to any of one these pieces may give one a glimpse into the genre of Odonata. Snapshot is an edgy rock song with the vocals lending themselves more to rock and pop, whereas Spirit might be classified as world beat and Pacis as dance music and He Touched My Soul is a powerful love ballad. To slot Odonata into any one of these genres would be folly and if a new genre could be created into which they fit it might be labeled epic-classic-world beat, but that would only continue to limit the vision of where this band might go next and like the dragonflies they emulate that too would be folly. Refracting and reflecting light in our wings... Odonata

Story behind the song
This song came to me at 3:00am when I was urged out of bed to get it down on paper for fear of losing it by morning. This song insisted on being sung in Latin so dilligently I tried my best to translate it. A few weeks later Don brought a track to the table that had no words and no melody but the flavour was incredible. I tried adding the prayer to the instrumental and the result is a beautiful, inspiring prayer for peace.
