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:

     

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

Magical Times

***********************************
A tinge of the East mixed with a little folk style, perhaps a little jazziness creeps in . . . interesting instruments, flashy percussion and dreamy tunes . .. The music is so animated it creates mental visions of brightly costumed dancers . . . energizing, unique, and happy making . . . a lot of thought and creativity was put into this album to make it so lovely, including the artwork.





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

Such beautifully chilled music to calm us down and relax . .  set as background and
find yourself smiling on occasion.





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

Avi Rosenfeld has a magnificent rock and roll band . . . a fullness of music
and excellent lyrics. . . the vocalist with  a bluesy sound . . . strong appeal to
get those feet tapping . . . 




*************************************
The spirit of the falling leaf
as it dances over the breezes . . . 
the sun warms the colors even more,
shining through . . .  creating pleasant tapestries
and cathedrals through the trees . . .
The music takes me there
as I waft in the cool gusts of music
and swirl lazily with my dreams . . .





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

Wavering pathways, littered with stone 
and crevasses;
smooth is the way . ..  jagged at times
and steep . . .
a walk through the music
full of peace and passion . . .
trauma . . . and endings . .. 
ancient youth . . .
our heart beats with each pluck
of the thread . . 




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

So beautiful . . . like the poetic end of a lovely film . . 
dreamy and meaningful . . . yet romantic and full of charm.
These pieces are long and full of wistful dreams and celestial visions . .. 



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

Ramp it up a bit with these "Communications" .. .. fast moving
and alien in sound . ..  interesting, unique and energizing.


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

Space . . .

When we finally leave this solar system . . . and reach for the stars . . . will we dance with them, like we dance in our dreams? Will they welcome us into their midst and teach us to fly?

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

Drone for the peaceful nights  . . . meditate in the dark skies . . . 
find yourself lost in space as your ship sails on and on. . . 




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


As chill as deep space is . . . 
the light sparkles and shines brighter . . .
and beckons the hopeful . . . 
the adventurer moves slowly and gracefully
through the ambience of celestial places . . . 
and the heaviness and 
weariness of gravity . . . is lifted . . . 

Electronic music with vision and dreams . . .
I find the energy to fly forever . . 




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

champagne and jazz . . . we celebrate
the unknown . . . and beyond the white clouds
that cling to an arching sky
our hearts are lifted . . . like wafted souls
wandering lightlingly with buoyant pleasures
floating on an endless sea of stars . . .
touching them with wraithlike fingers . . . 
we innocently heap our burning coals
upon the heads of countless rockets . . .

This music is captivating . ..  a style of jazz that feels warm
yet distant . . . like memories on errant breezes . . . and moments of reggae
breaking out . .  such as star-shine through shadowy summer trees . . 
 . . carrying a beat that flutters like a heartbeat of a bird against a summer shower . . .
or chilly . . . as a refreshing breeze stroking the forehead
of the listener . . .  I enjoyed every one of these pieces . . . very much!




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


Make what you would of our last steps on this earth. . .
they are imprinted on our collective heart . .  
the space between the first step and the last is eternal . . .
each one of us doing our part . . . 
running on the heels of adventure and drama
we find ourselves with wings
that lift and find the air streaming like fluid
a strength is given along that flow
we rise and find ourselves aloft . . .

These pieces have more sentiment and emotion than one
would expect of a bear . . ..  beautifully and creatively done.
I was especially amazed by the jazzy baroque piece . . . wow!
Music with drama and vision . . . definitely worth a listen . . .



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

Loved this energetic album . . . an electronic/rock style that got me moving
and gave me the impetus to run a little longer, this morning, during my jog . . .




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

The sun is in my eyes . . . and the wind fills my ears with the sound of music . . .

Well, I sure loved this little tune . . . melodic and uplifting . .. if you dream to this one, it surely will be a pleasant dream . . .

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




Tags:  metal, post, black, ambient, symphonic

Dark and yet full of colorful reflections and bright, silvering light, quiet and inspiring . . . like a deep winter's night in the Northering North .  .  . a crystal coolness descends with the music, like the peace that comes with a cold December frost . . . the lights twinkle through the falling snow and the fern patterns painted on windows catch every ambient glisten. . . yes, the music is like that . . . Beautiful.

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






Tags:  lounge, ambient, easylistening, relaxing, romantic

Quiet and a little jazzy . . . a peaceful days listen . .

Tags:  piano, instrumental, contemporary, classical, minimalism

One of the most unusual and ear catching albums in a long while . . . it makes me think of old fashioned parlour music and yet has an unusual appeal committed to emotional and dramatic sensations,   . . . Foot tapping and delightful moments  . ..  dreamy and sentimental feelings . . . These classical,  intimate pieces will fulfill your soul with delicate visions . . . 

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




Tags:  soundtrack, ambiant

Minamalistic and nearly drone-like, I found these pieces to appeal to a head-achey day . . . clearing my inner mists to bring the stars back to populate the skies . . . giving me sight to see and a peaceful emotion . . . this album was perfect for me.
