Julie (Hecksel) Patchouli's Song of the Soul

Cool!!!!!!! Luv Patchouli! Happy to find Bruce's too! Great interview. I smiled

Patchouli is my absolute favorite music. Julie is my idol, and I listen to Patchouli whenever I can (which is all the time:) Keep up the great work Patchouli!!!

This story is told honestly – that, I think adds to the appeal of the 7 wonderfully crafted songs Julie shares with us. I got tripped up a bit when she talked about the origins of ‘The Day We Let Go' and ‘Labyrinth' – it's hard to imagine that such a positive sprit as Julie's could, or would every have to suffer. But realistically, I think the experiences she speaks of where necessary in order for her to create songs of this depth. It may have been her way of distancing herself from her troubles and losses. In a sense, I see her some of her songs as prayers. In particular, her writing ‘Labyrinth' during that particularly difficult period of time she speaks of seems to have brought her closer to those she lost – much like prayers do for me.

Terrific Interview. The story behind each song is a big part of the experience when you attend a Patchouli show. Julie and Bruce are two of the most positive and friendly people I have ever met. FRC

What an amazing, positive person. Their music is truely from their hearts. You can't help but smile.
