poem: " Tell Me " , by Emily Jane Brontë (30 July 1818- 19 Dec. 1848)
Haworth, England

Describing time is not ever going to be easy, but in her own unique way, Emily Brontë is able to effectively convey a powerful means of doing so.
The images described are fairly simple — the past is something to be longed for, the present is something to plan in, and the future is something to look forward to.
The natural imageries used are phenomena that a child might observe all the time while growing up. The childlike simplicity of the metaphors combined with it`s inner meanings is what makes this poem so beautiful.

Tell me, tell me, smiling child,
What the past is like to thee ?
'An Autumn evening soft and mild
With a wind that sighs mournfully.'

Tell me, what is the present hour ?
'A green and flowery spray
Where a young bird sits gathering its power
To mount and fly away.'

And what is the future, happy one ?
'A sea beneath a cloudless sun ;
A mighty, glorious, dazzling sea
Stretching into infinity.'

Tell Me. Torbjørn Vagle and Oddrun Eikli. Trumpet: Arne Hiorth

Now is time for Reggae. Good mood time. Special important in these crazy days.

LYRICS

Life is not always bed of roses
Have to go often through time of crisis

But can't keep a good Man Down
He is got heart and he is strong
Can't keep a good Man Down for long
He can rebound & rebound & rebound
Rebound & rebound & rebound
Rebound & rebound & rebound
Rebound & rebound & rebound

No turning back
Keep moving Ahead
No carrying regrets
Keep moving for best

Got to let go sometimes
Leave Illusions behind
Enjoy our Simple Realm
Still Following our Dreams

Can't keep a good Man Down for long
He is got heart and he is strong
Can't keep a good Man Down for long
He can rebound & rebound & rebound
Rebound & rebound & rebound
Rebound & rebound & rebound
Rebound & rebound & rebound

No turning back
Keep moving Ahead
No carrying regrets
Keep moving for best

Got to face Reality
Still have space of fantasy
Can still believe in Miracles
Better Thinks could Happen

Can't keep a good Man Down for long
He is got heart and he is strong
Can't keep a good Man Down for long
He can rebound & rebound & rebound
Rebound & rebound & rebound
Rebound & rebound & rebound
Rebound & rebound & reborn

Can't keep a good Man Down
He is got heart and he is strong
Can't keep a good Man Down for long
He can rebound & rebound & rebound
Rebound & rebound & rebound & reborn

Eklektikos - The Colloquy
August 2020
Duration: 2:55

Eclecticism was first reported to have been practiced by a group of ancient Greek and Roman philosophers who attached themselves to no real system, but selected from existing philosophical beliefs those doctrines that seemed most reasonable to them. Out of this collected material they constructed their new system of philosophy.  The term eclecticism comes from the Greek ἐκλεκτικός (eklektikos), literally "choosing the best".  Colloquy is defined as a gathering for discussion.  

The music of "Eklektikos" brings together the instruments and rhythms of many diverse cultures to create a unique world music.

For Tuned Water drums, Alpine Zither, Shakuhachi, Darbuka, Koto, Morin Khuur, Rako Bowls, strings, flute and percusssion

Eklektikos - The Colloquy

This is a song off of Volume 2 of That Old Time Americana which you can listen to in its entirety on Spotify at: https://open.spotify.com/artist/170Dmo9QlaMn62XbwR7Q5s?si=jrKd5mR8QWOU8_aiY-o9lg

This song is about people that hold extreme biases against the lifestyles of other groups of people. The lyrics delve into the isolation and hypocrisy that breeds these biases generationally. There are detrimental costs associated with this thinking.

Lyrics:
Reasoned away the prodigy lying about responsibility breathing down my sweaty neck loading aces in the deck
day light was never there
patience was never shared
bone dry like a lonely dawn
sparking life within in a yawn
time out to hesitate
pleasure to ride and fluctuate
Don't you know the prairie life breeds fear and loathing and lack of spice
scared of your shadow some ghostly matter
voting to deny others human rights
Daddy's a liar but Grandpa's dead
They hated each other for the anger they fed
Breaking away is what the young all do
But eventually they will come back to you.
day light was never there
patience was never shared
bone dry like a lonely dawn
sparking life within in a yawn
time out to hesitate
pleasure to ride and fluctuate
Should we rise or sit back and wait
while the dumbass teacher demonstrates
Moving off to another state
never able to self-deprecate
seriously though you have to stop
before we have to call the cops
Many have said you aren't our kind
staying up late and mixing wine
Been all day wasn't kind
Waiting for the call to say it's fine.

The Prarie Life

If gravity is the only thing
That keeps you from leaving me
You’ve got to find your wings
And learn to fly

I’ll find comfort in these things
The things you have taught me
And search for forgiveness
In what you leave behind

So leave me your courage
Your strength and your wisdom
This precious sorrow
These tender tears

The strength of a lion
The love of a lamb
I feel it around me
All through the years

There’s so much that I regret
Those unkind words I said
Were born from frustration
And not from my heart

I know there will be peace
The sadness will be released
I’ll put back together
What’s torn all apart

Life is a mystery
Who knows what the world will bring
But I know you’re beside
When I’m ready to start

Gravity

I hope in this restless year this song will awaken something warm and bright in your heart
