"Healing Song" is a track credited to the artist Ajeet and drawn from the album Slánú, a recording built on a full acoustic ensemble: harp, cello, violin, flute, double bass, bouzouki, several guitars and a shared pool of voices and percussion. The video page offers no spoken introduction, no liner essay and no lyric sheet, so what follows is a close reading of what the record itself tells us: who played it, how the instruments divide the work, and what a title this direct asks of the arrangement. Read the credits the way a session player would, and the track's shape starts to come into focus.
The credit list is long for a single track, and it is worth taking each name at face value. Siobhan Moore is credited with lead vocals, acoustic guitar, piano, bouzouki, percussion, sound engineering and production, and she is also listed as the composer and lyricist. Shannon Hayden plays cello and violin. Aisling Urwin is credited with harp and background vocals. Maneesh de Moor plays flute and piano and also sings background vocals. Sam Killeen covers electric guitar, bouzouki and acoustic guitar. Raffa Martinez adds percussion and background vocals. Jared May plays bass, Scott Mulvahill double bass, and David Howley acoustic guitar. Piper Payne is credited as mastering engineer.
That is a small orchestra in the sense that matters for this kind of music: strings that bow, strings that pluck, breath-driven winds and a voice that is layered rather than solitary. The breadth of the list tells you the song was built to be heard as a blend rather than as a singer with a backing band.
A title like this makes a promise, and the arrangement is where a track either keeps it or does not. The harp and the bouzouki are both plucked instruments with a bright, quickly decaying attack, while the cello and double bass supply sustained low-end weight beneath them. The flute adds a single moving line that can sit above everything without crowding the vocal. Put those together and the sound tends toward the open and resonant, with space left around each note, which is a common way acoustic music creates a sense of calm.
Notice too the overlap. Moore plays bouzouki and acoustic guitar as well as singing, and Killeen also plays bouzouki. Doubling a single instrument across players produces a thicker, more unified plucked texture, the kind that feels like one hand at work rather than several. Whether that was the deliberate intent here, the credits make the choice audible in principle.
Siobhan Moore is the sole composer and lyricist listed on the track, which places the song's core identity with one writer. She is also the producer, the sound engineer and the lead vocalist. When one person holds the pen, the microphone and the console, the record tends to carry a consistent point of view from first note to final mix. That concentration of roles is the most distinctive thing the credits reveal, and it is the most useful thread for a listener who wants to understand why the track sounds the way it does.
The listing carries a phonographic copyright line of 2023 for Spirit Voyage Records, while the YouTube page gives a release date of 9 October 2026 and a publication date one day earlier. That gap is typical of how catalogue music moves between a label's original release and its appearance on streaming platforms, and it is worth knowing when you search for the album. The date on the page is not the date of the recording; the 2023 line is the closer marker of when the music was made and first issued.
Start with the voice, then take the instruments one at a time. Listen once for the harp and bouzouki pulse underneath, once for the cello and bass foundation, and once for the flute line that threads through the top. Pay attention to where the background voices enter, because layered vocals in a song like this do more than add harmony; they change the room the lead voice sits in. A slow, attentive first listen will tell you more than any summary, because the arrangement is doing the emotional work a lyric sheet might otherwise do.
To go deeper, listen to the full Slánú album and note which tracks share the same players, which suggests the core group of musicians behind the project. Look for the label's own catalogue page for Spirit Voyage Records to confirm release details and any additional credits. And if you play an instrument, try the bouzouki and harp parts by ear: the shape of a plucked arrangement is easiest to understand from the inside.
