Horace Silver's Blue Note Years Mix

Kepler: Star KIC12268220C Light Curve Waves to Sound

So here’s my tribute to the mighty mighty one, Mr Maurice White, who sadly passed away on February 4 of this year. He left us an incredible treasure trove of music that has shaped the way I live my life!

I avoided the really obvious hits that you can hear everywhere and went for my personal faves, and a solid dose of the music that went on to shape the unique sound of Earth Wind and Fire from his early years working with two great mentors to him, Ramsey Lewis and Charles Stepney.

I got so much pleasure recording this - I hope you enjoy as much as I did!

Lyrics:

Steady is the riverbed
Staying like the song inside my head
Taking on a different name
Never for a moment off its game
Steady is the riverbed
Reliable as Erik's known as red
Pistons on an iron beam
Running through on steam
Steady is the riverbed
Steady is the riverbed

Steady is the timber too
Steady are my hands, though they are few
I'll build a steady bridge from me to you

Steady is the ocean blue
Sticking like the stone inside my shoe
Chequered squares and empty boats
Keeping all our loyalties afloat
Steady is the riverbed
Plenty as the books I've never read
Blotted ink on parchment page
Never seems to age
Steady is the riverbed
Steady is the riverbed

Steady is the timber too
Steady are my hands though they are few
I'll build a steady bridge from me to you

Steady is the ocean blue
Steadily it pulls me back to you
