RiZLiX - A Tale To Tell

Jamie sent me this incredible instrumental track he'd entitled "The Future Is Now" and said "I was wondering if you had time to add something to this?"
 
"OK" I said remembering my Brit Cool just in time. (I was very honoured to be asked and equally knocked out by the track...) I thought about that phrase "The Future Is Now" and how some people seem to be in a rush to cancel the past. As any history student knows; it is not who wins the battle or conducts the pious deed but whose record survives the interim years.

Walking across the countryside one frequently comes across large lakes and reservoirs and hears stories about the submerged villages with a fabled church bell that sometimes still doles out a message from the deep, on occasions or anniversaries of great import. (fromtheedges.wordpress.com/2015/03/20/…nken-bells/)

I do wonder if we deny and bury our past, who will understand the dolorous bells' messages from forgotten landscapes behind our burning bridges or even hear them: We're Building A Dam - It's an anguished cry for help as the very shore we crept out of the sea onto, slips back under the waves already lapping at our feet... and the telling of stories ends of our own doing, as the flood erases true history and our villages disappear under the water...

@jamie-rhind was the lead bell ringer and carillon player 
 @janinelevinson the wondrous mermaid that sings and tends to the sunken bells 
@phil-mcwalter sat on the shrinking shore, listening, playing guitar and singing the old stories with them...

"The most powerful and magical language is music. The reason for this is that music is the original language. Music is not ornamented poetry, and poetry is not ornamented prose. Poetry is fallen music, and prose is fallen poetry. Prose is not the original language; it is poetry made practical. Even poetry is not the original language; it is music made speakable, it is the words of music separated from their music. In the beginning was music." (Peter Kreeft, Philosophy of Tolkien)
