My Song is About My Brother . . .

****************************************************

our lights

beam bright in

a forgotten darkness

shining along broken pathways . . 

shadowing out pitfalls and obstacles . . 

as we dance along . . .

wandering hearts

find the story

behind the song

of the other . . . who is my brother . . .

I need your hand like the rose

needs the thorn

and the sky

desires eagles . . . flying through . . . 

like arrows burning in the sun . . .

a moment pauses . . . and then you

are gone, only to

become the dust

that blinds my eyes . . . 

I weep . . . for my brother

a lonely stone wears down beneath the storm

sinking into oblivion . . . its passage

unknown .. ..

I watch for you

possessing your safety . . . 

I will not let you sink 
beneath the unbecoming slime . . 

for . . . you are my brother . . 

**************  I overheard a kindergartener, in my computer lab, softly telling another student, "My song is about my brother . . ."   I couldn't resist it as a title . . . it fit my poem and it fit my heartache and desire . . .  that we reach out to help our brothers . . . everyone. I am thinking about desperate people reaching out for help . .  only to be rejected . .  

****************************************************
Today I needed some chill . . . light and easy listening . . . a place to dream . . .
so I looked through old albums . . . nothing really new here to share . . . just some of my old favorites with a couple of my old reviews. (reviewing under: PurpleOrca, wolfsongthepoet and orangeupurple.

****************************************************

PurpleOrca: Hear this peaceful and calming piano . .. played with sweet emotion and the feel of the heart's love and tension's release as the compassionate cool waters of heaven's piano washes over the soul of the listener. - "The Best Between the Lines" Hear the meltingly warm and honeyed tones of songs and singers to bring the tears to your eyes as you listen and are given hope of redemption and love. - "You Will Be Loved" Hear the powerful percussion crashing through the senses and sensibilities and removing the cobwebs and lethargy of denial and retreat and forming a - ". . . New Life With Me." Hear the long trip through space and time and the tempo of power pacing with the flight into freedom and connection with environments of peace and pleasure. -"Connected" Hear the beautiful voices in this duet and that soft gentle piano and instrumental melody which holds you tight and charms the tensions from your aching heart. - "Where Are You Now." Hear the message of hope and wonder in the uplifting yet dulcet tones of this melody, "Running Out Of Time" See through the lens of multitudinous colors, feel the tenderness and compassion, smell the gardens of generous beauty . . . your senses will guide you as you listen to this music.

OrangeuPurple: Sliding into the night . . . deep flows the dark like a mythical beast. . . the dragon driving my emotions - the dark of the music, moves with the tempo of a free soul hindered only by the emotions grown through the passing of time, and the wings of the angel lifts me to be above the flood . . . the deep salty seas running from the weeping eyes of the bloody dragon. . . Music to ease my agonies . . . - M^^W -



**************************************************

No Chill can be shared by me without including this artist's heart felt music . . .




**************************************************





**************************************************





**************************************************

Another favorite of mine is the music from Tunguska Electronic Music Society . .  Love their Chill:

     

**************************************************

The Art of Dreams . . ..

Sometimes I look for the poetry in music and searching my soul and heart I find words to express my feelings as I listen . . . these do not make true "reviews" but in some way I can share my thoughts and feelings . . .  I only share music I enjoy . . . music I want to stay in touch with . . . . to listen again and again . . . Sometimes the artists remove their albums and that leaves a hole in my heart . . . when I find the generic playlist to fill that void, it's not quite the same .. . FYI . . . 

*************************************************
Celtic dreams and the song of the wild things . . .
walking down that long road
I hear the music of the skies . . . 
and the clouds are my companions
and somewhere the sun will rise
to dance with stars across the
ever blooming skies . . . 



*************************************************

Hmmm . . . warm lovin' . . . dream on that smooth voice . . .
the sounds, the percussion . . . the vision of the music
takes the listener down that road
exploring possibilities . . . 
slow and calming . . . the music drifts . . .
like wishes on the wind . . .




*************************************************

Warm and mellow on my mind . . . each stroke of the strings
brings resounding comfort . . . a shelter before the storm . . 
plentitude and peace . .  after.

**************************************************

A little piano bar somewhere . . .
the musician dreams . . . . and his fingers follow the pathway . .. 
bringing the listener along . . . into places of beauty . . 
and heart filling comfort and joy . . . 



**************************************************

Magic . .. like water falling from the skies as tears
they flow in little rivulets . . . catching all the flower petals . . 
the atmosphere is soft and gentle
like watercolor dreams . . . and fireflies light up the skies . . .
dancing to the soft and gentle music . . .



***************************************************

Dramatic and epic . . . the song of despair . .  we head into war though our hearts turn away . . 
turmoil and emotion spew out from the loins of our soul . . . lust and greed
determine our roads . . . and where we meet . .  we battle . . 
and here we lose our souls, blood covered, dejected . . . our worlds are scarred . . .
our hearts lonely . . . when we stand at those crossroads . . . alone . . .. surrounded by the beauty of the earth!



***************************************************

Quiet and spacey . . . we float on the ether . . . the nexus to the Universe . . .
the darkest places, specked with the brightest . .. 
the flow of heat and cold . . . I am brightest at my darkest moments . .
I am a star drifting through all eternity . . . 
my colors are my hope as I draw you nearer . . . 
floating through space . . .



***************************************************
Drones . . . slow and atmospheric are seriously good for 
the headache. Be at peace and let the music flow over you
like cool water on a hot day, scented with the outdoors . . 
the peace of plenty green . . . the night drifting over
with the song of the stars . . .




****************************************************

Beautiful and sweet . . . the freshness of these pieces has a cool
ambient appeal . . . dreamy and wise . .  we let our eyes glue to the
distant horizon, away from the crashing waves,
where the clouds and the birds gather . . . to rise
and soar where our hearts follow . . .



****************************************************

Alone . . .

butterfly

*********************************************************************************

I loved the juxtaposition and contrasts between the instruments chosen to play these rousing
pieces . . . making me feel as if I could run and fly . . . reaching the highest high . . . great for dance or running . . .. the heart feels happy . . . like magic. The first track had a military drum that announced the sweetness of the melody . . . and the second piece had an interesting percussion intro too . . . which became the back bone of the lovely melody.  I think this method reaches in and grabs the soul . . . I could hear this music reverberating inside my breastbone.





*************************************************

The music on this album was haunting . . . I felt as if I were walking in a beautiful old house . .. 
with rooms full of tales . . . voices and gentle touches followed me as I drifted down long
pathways . . . the music leading with a subtle flow. Mysterious and dark, and yet not without some hope and light . . . these pieces beckon the listener deeper and deeper into the soul of
peace and rest . . . 





****************************************

With the vocalist's whimsical, breathless, child-like voice accenting these pieces . . . this album's music has an appeal that charms the listener.  The piano music is dreamy and the instrumentals are exquisite. These pieces are meant to be relaxing, romantic and sentimental and do indeed create such an atmosphere with a balance of some pounding dance.  Very nice!




****************************************

Noblemo's piano is quite distinct. . .  it plays with raw emotion and dreamy places from within the soul of the musician . . . and the listener follows the flow . . the ebb and tide . . as if sound were water and moments were pieces of light and dark . . . Always a tremendous pleasure listening to his instrumental music, lead by a heart-felt piano.





****************************************

This electrically, stimulating guitar play was like refreshing mountain springs at the end of a long, hard journey . . .  . . where you find peace and refreshment and given the impetuous and vision to drive yourself on until the end . . . Delightful music, great flow and pulling in melodic emotions with each stroke of the strings .  .  . 





***************************************
WOW . . . Tunguska . . . what can I say. The Tunguska albums are always a collaboration of various artists from the region . .  always exceptionally good electronic grooves.  It's a good plan to put on a Tunguska album if you just want to chill, relax and enjoy life .  .  . lots of tracks and great flow between the pieces . . .




*****************************************

Definitely spacey . . . electronic moods and gentle, airy motifs with a tendency to pattern into flow . . . . .  like flying through space . .  touching the stars . . . the darkness between the brightness . . . the heat and the cold . . . 



******************************************

This guy is GOOD!  I love this enchanting folk singer's richly, lilting vocals with added intonation, emotion and a pretty good range . . . his voice is so captivating . . . and I am enchanted by his melodic, passionate poetry . . . and the instruments that twinkle along, adding depth and dimension into this generic style of folk music make this album very creative and artistic.
