Name: Al Majid/Promise Keeper (4th Selam) by Clarityharp
Duration: 12 min 29 s
Description: What an incredible blessing to hear everyone join me at the end there. I did not know if they were going to be willing! I had not really played either of these tunes in a full Sufi setting yet and "Promise Keeper" is a MOOD. But they got it, because of course. :)

My latest tune I put together dedicated to all those in the front lines

What an incredible blessing to hear everyone join me at the end there. I did not know if they were going to be willing! I had not really played either of these tunes in a full Sufi setting yet and "Promise Keeper" is a MOOD. But they got it, because of course. :)

Démos guitare/voix enregistrées en live à l'Urban Studio de Saint-Quentin, avec l'aide précieuse de Sylvain Tricotet. En prime, un accent anglais bien rouillé et quelques mots empruntés à Heather Nova.

Golden Ghosts

There was a time where I felt constantly shadowed by death, not only in my exterior but my interior life. I wrestled a lot with sharing this song at all, but in the time of Advent, when we often mark the solstice with “Longest Night” and “Blue Christmas” services, and contemplate not only a joyful birth but the pain and horror that will end the amazing life which is coming into the world, it seemed appropriate. If this song speaks to you, know that you are not alone. I am joined here by my dear friend Sunshine, who encouraged me to share it because of how it spoke to them. Their support reminded me that lots of folks are too afraid to speak out about their pain, especially at this time of year, and how important it is to name our fears and our demons.

Beneath My Ribs

Rumi Ghazal- You & I

A number of us play in a band called the Fallen Angles here at HT. After seeing the Pentatonix version of Mary Did You Know many years ago, we loved the melody and hook and talked about playing it, but couldn’t stomach the absurd “mansplainy” lyrics, so I never did anything to make it happen. However, it came up every year and then after a conversation in early Dec 2017, Jennifer volunteered to write some new lyrics. She did an amazing job and transformed this song into something authentic to us and inspiring to many. There are starting to be a few folks picking it up. We’ve played it since 2017, but this year (2020) is our attempt to put it down for our own history.
If you feel moved to use it in your worship (intact only, no re-sampling), feel free to do so. However, I am not a copyright lawyer and am not really sure of the potential issues with respect to "parodies" which is technically what this is of Mark Lowry's original song.
