A very beautiful song with great music. 😉 😉 🎼

deep vocal echoes, cool experimental work

Extracts from The Ballad of the Harp-Weaver by Edna St Vincent Millay 1892-1950
Recital from LibriVox.org read by Linda Leu

“Son,” said my mother,
   When I was knee-high,
“You’ve need of clothes to cover you,
   And not a rag have I”.
 
“There’s nothing in the house
   To make a boy breeches,
Nor shears to cut a cloth with
   Nor thread to take stitches.”
 
“There’s nothing in the house
   But a loaf-end of rye,
And a harp with a woman’s head
   Nobody will buy,”  
   And she began to cry.
 
…

Men say the winter
   Was bad that year;
Fuel was scarce,
   And food was dear.
 
A wind with a wolf’s head
   Howled about our door,
And we burned up the chairs
   And sat on the floor.
 
All that was left us
   Was a chair we couldn’t break,
And the harp with a woman’s head
   Nobody would take,
   For song or pity’s sake.
 
…

Looking nineteen,
   And not a day older,
And the harp with a woman’s head
   Leaned against her shoulder.
 
Her thin fingers, moving
   In the thin, tall strings,
Were weav-weav-weaving
   Wonderful things.
 
Many bright threads,
   From where I couldn’t see,
Were running through the harp-strings
  Rapidly,
 
…

There sat my mother
   With the harp against her shoulder
Looking nineteen
   And not a day older,
 
A smile about her lips,
   And a light about her head,
And her hands in the harp-strings
   Frozen dead.
 
And piled up beside her
   And toppling to the skies,
Were the clothes of a king’s son,
   Just my size.

The Ballad Of The Harp-Weaver

We all have exactly the same amount of time every day. But what we do with it, what our priorities are and what the results are, is up to each of us. 
Time runs and does not stand still. Whether it is a threat or stress or relaxation. Divide your time well so that you achieve what you want to achieve. 
Let's use our time wisely, because we can achieve great things.

Some people don't want to see or hear you. They change your story to validate their own narrative. They view the world through their fixed lens, and nothing anyone says or does, changes their mind. Don't waste your time trying.

Fantasy is a remarkable ability that allows us to imagine things that are not directly present in our environment. It allows us to develop new ideas, create alternative realities and put ourselves in the perspectives of other people or even other beings. Fantasy is often closely linked to creativity and drives innovation, art, literature, science and many other areas of human life. With our fantasy, we are able to approach problems in new ways, empathize with different situations and imagine what could be, rather than limiting ourselves to what already exists. Isn't that a wonderful gift?

Trouble,
Has been on my mind
Trouble,
Has been on my mind

All I do,
Is worrying
All I do,
Is worrying

Now I'm looking back
At what I've done
And what I have become

The pressure,
Has been killing me
The pressure,
Has been killing me

Love,
Is all I need
Love,
Is all I need

Now I'm looking back
At what I've done
And what I have become

WILD AND WHISTLING WIND


WILD AND WHISTLING WIND
BLOWING THROUGH THE TREES
MORE THAN JUST A BREEZE
STRIPPING THEM OF LEAVES
WILD AND WHISTLING WIND

BLAZING BURNING SUN
SWELTERING IN THE HEAT
BLISTERS ON MY FEET
NIL TO DRINK OR EAT
BLAZING BURNING SUN
WILD AND WHISTLING WIND

THUNDER LIGHTNING BOLTS
FLASHING IN THE SKY
MAKING CHILDREN CRY
AS THE STORM GOES BY
THUNDER LIGHTNING BOLTS
BLAZING BURNING SUN
WILD AND WHISTLING WIND

HEAVY DRIVING RAIN
BLACK CLOUDS UP ABOVE
HEAVEN'S OPENING UP
OH GOD HOW I LOVE
HEAVY DRIVING RAIN
THUNDER LIGHTNING BOLTS
BLAZING BURNING SUN
WILD AND WHISTLING WIND
