do you ever hear a distant, rusty old swingset, when you are damn well supposed to be in class? https://youtu.be/XHJ5qleyzyk do lazy lovers send you Red Roses with Babies Breath, but all you really wanted were Opium Poppies or Venus Fly-traps or Love-in-a Puffs or Forget-Me-Nots or Voo-Doo Lillies or Angels Trumpets or 4 Leaf Clovers or Triliums or 2-Sided Peonies or Sea Anemonies?
(3 different ways to) Walk On By: like a Goddess of the very Air https://youtu.be/wjYAsVfJE8c or 2, like one Beach Boy https://youtu.be/qkIw6SMt2bs , or like we do down in houston, slow the record down back it up a minute Isaac Hayes is on and sun is so hot thin mint towers and cough syrup bayous spilling over your flip flops stick to the sidewalk a little as you slowly walk on by https://youtu.be/qiNKSIX37f8
Unk P,
Decidedly, a rusty old swing set and the music we swing by!
You obviously are musically gifted energetically in hearing the unwritten words and feelings within music.
Synchronistically, I'd recently listened to "Silencium" (your link being to "Silentium" spelled with t--a different song).
And after Gaelynn Leas's "Someday..." song with its amazing erhu sounding violin at the beginning, (my daughter studied violin as a young girl and we discovered the erhu in that process).
I went on to listen to her talking about "Amazing Grace" and how when she was singing it to her grandfather in hospice after his not haven spoken in days, how he began to softly join in.
So moving to even think about.
It brought back to her his once saying that music is one of the first things babies respond to--and one of the dying's last.
That was my connecting link to the last song link I'd saved for myself.
The opening song for the BBC's 21 seasons series of "Silent Witness". A crime series basically about life and death in its most raw forms contrasted with this very ethereal opening song written by John Harle titled "Silencium", and once again with violins.
AND synchronistically, there are fractal images at both the beginning and the end in this youtube version. (Make sure beginning arrow is at very beginning).
Lovely, ethereal and deeply moving, I had to really search to find the original version with lyrics throughout instead of the truncated version that the producers switched to by the last 21st season. Apparently, that infuriated music fans and made a great stir in the UK.
Ah, the powers of music!
The lyrics if anyyone wonders are:
Silence and sleep
Like fields
Of amaranth lieVery old are the woods
And the buds that break
Out of the brier's boughs
When March winds wakeSo old with their beauty are
Oh no man knows
Through what wild centuries
Roves back the roseVery old are the brooks
And the rills that rise
Where snow sleeps cold
Beneath the azure skiesSing such a history of come and gone
Sing such a history of come and gone
Of come and goneSilence and sleep
Like fields
Of amaranth lieVery old are the woods
And the buds that break
Out of the brier's boughs
When March winds wakeVery old are we men
Our dreams are tales
Told in dim Eden
By Eve's nightingalesVery old are the brooks
And the rills that rise
Where snow sleeps cold
Beneath the azure skiesSing such a history of come and gone
Sing such a history of come and gone
Come and gone, come and gone
Sing such a history of come and gone
Sing such a history of come and gone
Sing such a history of come and gone
Of come and goneWe wake and whisper a while
But the day gone bySilence and sleep
Like fields
Of amaranth lieCome and gone
Lovely music of Silencium.
Michele, that is a beautiful song and the lyrics are so poetic!
I've loved this woman's music for more than 15 years, and her words often move me to think and feel and reflect (and cry!). I'm so glad she is finally getting the credit she deserves. However, I've thought for years that she's touching the front edge of the new consciousness, and her appeal crosses rural and urban, folk and country and Americana and rock. She's amazing, and this song feels like an anthem for the world, moving forward:
How long will my guitar gently weep? Until we replace weeping with compassion.
Subscribe to Netflix? If so, I highly recommend "And Breathe Normally," a well done, powerful Icelandic film directed by Isold Uggadottir (2018) that, among several important and topical messages, "reminds us of the power we possess, even when we think we’re helpless."
Hello to all of my light working friends:
I have been listening to the song ‘Bridge Over Trouble Waters’ by Simon and Garfunkel a lot these last few months. Maybe we are all each other’s bridge. If you need a friend I’m sailing right behind ...
Good morning everyone. It's been a while since I last posted. You know "lot's of things to do, little time to do it..." I've been thinking about the Heart Warrior class and I'm trying to practice what I learn. It is making me think, a lot and in a very good way.
Today, I made the mistake to open the TV, and of course, it was on CNN. Old habits are difficult to change, but there is hope. . But God/Spirit was looking out for me. The story that was on was inspiring and I wanted to share it with you because it made me happy.

There is a French Canadian song called "Happy People have no Stories". Well, there is hope yet! We just have to look for them. Have a great day everyone!
