Soundscape #11 - Misty River

Stepping out of our usual genre a completely different version of our latest track Divine Intervention.  

Written by Conscience of Kings (Noobly and Gaz) but so pleased that Nat Daniels came on board to turn this into a conversational style duet.

Nat's an amazing vocalist who also writes, records and produces amazing songs in a number of genres but mainly folk / country influenced. Check out Nat's site there are some great tracks waiting for you!

Melody influenced by listening to a lot of MF DOOM. RIP to the legend. Trap drums give it a fast pace

"The immortality of the soul was hardly doubted in Celtic lands if Roman and Greek sources are to be believed. With respect to Celtic belief, Julius Caesar stated that souls “pass after death from some to others” (ab aliss post mortem transire ad alios). This may simply mean that the soul obtained a new corporeal vessel after it departed from its old shell. However, taken alone this quote tells us little about what the Celts truly believed regarding death and reincarnation.

Other classical authors noted that the druids believed in the idea of the transmigration of the soul. Diodorus Siculus stated that the soul “lives again after a certain number of years” in another form or body. Lucan also paid mention to the druid’s belief in reincarnation. He stated, "The spirit governs limbs in another region; if you know whereof you sing, death is in the middle of a long life.” This quote delineates the transitory nature of the soul and simply states that the body is the vessel that houses it. Yet others likened the druid’s teachings to that of Pythagoras (who also adhered to the notion that souls went through a transmigration process). From what little can be gathered of the remaining references to Pythagorean teaching, it was thought that the soul might reincarnate into either human or animal bodies. This was known as metempsychosis."

This character from ancient myth is complex - is he stubborn, unaware, defiant, defeated?
Is he the modern anti-hero? The person who keeps going, no matter what  . . ?

Il Neige Sur Assise.        Texte :Sanzen

Boule de neige au salon, mon enfance sur un vieux guéridon
Sous la cloche en trois dimensions , Assise , mes émotions
Solitaire sans raison , encombré de ce corps bien trop grand
j’envahis tout l’espace restant  qui est fait d’un seul et même plan.

Et pendant ce temps tu défies placide la  gravitation .  
ce n’est pas toujours la fête , tu traverses tel un géant  les saisons
grâce à ton  humour ,à ton amour, ta superbe autodérision
et si ça se trouve  ,  quelques flocons dans ton salon.   

je me construis un univers fait  d’huiles et de pastels dorés
ma toile est comme la vie trop souvent déséquilibrée  
je me sers un peu moins de ma tête que de mon coeur , de mes grands pieds.
peindre c’est pas toujours la fête , le gout une valeur trop partagée .
 
Et pendant ce temps tu défies placide la gravitation .  
ce n’est pas toujours la fête , tu traverses tel un géant les saisons 
grâce à ton  humour ,à ton amour, ta superbe autodérision
et si ça se trouve  quelques flocons dans ton salon. 

 
Unijambiste dans….ma tête ,je suis en lévitation 
je mets du rouge dans  mon salon, sous cloche mon horizon
du doré sur ma toile une  vie captive sous les flocons...
quelques facéties  , mon enfance sur le vieux guéridon

Et pendant ce temps on défie tous la gravitation 
ce n’est pas toujours la fête , on traverse comme on peut  chaque saison
grâce à de l’ humour ,à de l’amour, une superbe autodérision
et si ça se trouve  ,si ça se trouve , à quelqu’un comme Francois Anton.

Il Neige Sur Assise    Sanzen / Illos

A remake of one of my old songs.

-LYRiCS-

I heard you had
done traded it all...
and now you're back for mine.

Dumb trader.
I knew you had. 
You gone and played the part from the start,
and now you're a ghost.

CHORUS
Sticks & stones may break my bones but your words:
now they can't hurt me. 

They say time heals...
but it still hurts so
I'm pulling out the nerves that bring the pain.
BUt you never guessed
that i'd hit the road....
that id be gone and you'd be there alone.
Now you're a ghost.

Good Danger
