I fear you cooked, proud of you donny, alhamdullilah

such an interesting Beat to this=most enjoyable!!

From a sonnet written by Edna St. Vincent Millay 1892-1950.  (Originally published as “Sonnet VI” in 1917’s Renascence and Other Poems)

Thanks for recital from LibriVox.org read by Linda Leu and to Grace for Piano.

This door you might not open, and you did;
So enter now, and see for what slight thing
You are betrayed... 

Here is no treasure hid,
No cauldron,
no clear crystal mirroring the sought-for truth,
no heads of women slain for greed like yours,
no writhings of distress, but only what you see... 

Look yet again—
An empty room, cobwebbed and comfortless.
Yet this alone out of my life I kept unto myself, lest any know me quite;

And you did so profane me when you crept
unto the threshold of this room to-night

That I must never more behold your face.
This now is yours. I seek another place.

Bluebeard

The fourth song of our summer series "We Can Solve Most Things If We Talk" is a hymn to Hope.  It is the enduring attribute of mankind to be able to think beyond the most painful circumstances and imagine a better life and a better world.  Peter is not just a fine writer of melody and lyrics, but a very able and eloquent guitarist and vocalist.  Oddrun graces this song with her angelic voice as if she were Hope itself, and in duet they give the song wings.  Seagull's synths, bass, and mix are ever sure and seamless, a true labor of love.

Will you Raise Your Right Hand?

Peter
Can you number the circle’s rim, each point on a list?
Enumerate the air, simply cupping of your hands
Freedom lantern’s falling dim in honesty’s fading mist
But will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun
Can you census the clouds, in a ledger of the sky
Set out in a single line each and every grain of sand
When the despot weaves his thieving lies will you stand idly by
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Peter & Oddrun
Can you audit every atom, in a volume for the shelf
Each uniquely named, indexed on demand
Does the mirror only fathom, a shallow of your self
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun & Peter
Can you detail every shimmered light on a canvas of the stars
A snapshot of the cosmos as at light speed it expands
Will you document but passive shame in the volumes of your pale memoirs
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun & Peter
Can you hoist the flag of humankind above the crass material world
Crush the armies of greed, their legions to disband
When the shining banner of grace is finally unfurled
Did you raise your right hand, when hope made its stand?

Hopeful Man--Will You Raise Your Right Hand (Peter, Oddrun, and Seagull)

This dear Listeners is a Re-Mastered Release of Cosmic Cycles with Soprano Nadia Selvaggi. It's a beauty. Please  Re-post and share it more widely.

I originally reached out to fellow SoundClouder and Vocalist Nadia Selvaggi, @nadiaselvaggi ,wondering if she'd like to collaborate on one of my orchestral-fusion compositions. And Happily she said Yes! 😊

After a few weeks of Listening, she zeroed in on one of my favorites entitled - Cosmic Cycles*. And as i expected, her thoughtful, lyrical and awesomely powerful Vocalaise certainly takes the piece to new Cosmic heights. 
I'm so thankful for her creative contribution to this piece.

We're delighted to present it today. 😊

May you enJOY.
