"William Shakespeare - "Against that time, if ever that time come," (sonnet 49)

"Against that time, if ever that time come,
When I shall see thee frown on my defects,
When as thy love hath cast his utmost sum,
Call’d to that audit by advised respects;
Against that time when thou shalt strangely pass
And scarcely greet me with that sun, thine eye,
When love, converted from the thing it was,
Shall reasons find of settled gravity,—
Against that time do I ensconce me here
Within the knowledge of mine own desert,
And this my hand against myself uprear,
To guard the lawful reasons on thy part:
To leave poor me thou hast the strength of laws,
Since why to love I can allege no cause."

The Strength Of Laws [out on Spotify now]

By Adam's Fall (J. S. Bach)

Written, Produced, Composed and Arranged by Jah-Femi Telewa 

Description of Glorious Father
Glorious Father is a serene and deeply spiritual duet that exalts Yahweh as the merciful Creator and Designer of life. With flowing poetic imagery, the lyrics liken natural elements—like raindrops and rainbows, thunder and memory—to divine alignment and grace. The recurring refrain emphasizes the comfort found in Yahweh’s mercy and the personal revelation of being the work of His mind.

The song unfolds as a prayerful reflection, where both male and female voices harmonize in reverence to the Glorious Father—portraying Him as both intimate and majestic in presence.

I woke up this morning and said, "Lord, I have to write this song."
Please don't let me be a sinner, always tell me what I did right or wrong.
They're trying to convince us, they pull hard, and it will never end.
Sometimes by lying, sometimes by killing. I beg you, Lord, give us the promised land.

A man is a man, let real science tell the truth.
You have nasty gender, and now what are you going to do?
A woman is a woman, why you don't understand?
The Lord defined it; please give us the promised land.

They're chasing children, telling them they can be something else.
A wound that never heals grows in their minds like an ugly spell.
It's time to stop this, Lord, please give me strength.
I need to tell my brothers that together we will fight this hell.

A man is a man, let science tell the truth.
You have an nasty gender, and now what are you going to do?
A woman is a woman, why you don't understand?
The Lord defined it; please give us the promised land.

Please give us the promised land.
Oh Lord,
Give us the promised land.

Sometimes I feel like... I don't know.
I feel like people need to wake up.
You know what... we got to fix this.

Promised land

PROGRAM NOTE

In The Essence of Gravity, I use a few key words, phrases and phonetic sounds rather than an elaborate text. Since there are so few words, I designed the text myself, and it is made up almost entirely of onomatopoeia words. The word ‘gravity’ in the title not only refers to the force of attraction by which objects tend to fall toward the center of the Earth, but also to a sense of seriousness. Each movement reflects one or both of these definitions.

The first movement, Echoes of War, contains words and phrases that make me think of war. A type of weapon called a “gravity bomb” also inspired me. This weapon is delivered by aircraft and does not contain a guidance system; it follows a ballistic trajectory. Until the later half of World War II this described all aircraft bombs, and the vast majority until the late 1980s.

The second movement is entitled Love and Kisses. Although love is an undeniably heavy subject, this movement is intended to be much more playful than serious. Perhaps it is more about the emotional pull that people have on each other.

Before I composed the third movement, Infinite Oceans, I walked along San Francisco’s Baker Beach and Lands End. Although I’ve been to the ocean many times, I am always struck by the seemingly infinite-sounding tides and lonely-sounding foghorns I often hear in the distance. This movement is inspired by the gravitational pull of the moon, the primary force responsible for the ocean’s tides. This movement also alludes to the stories of the mythological Greek Sirens that lured sailors to their deaths with their beautiful singing.

Although many people might not think of machines as evoking a sense of gravity, they seem important in ways that may not be readily apparent. Without machines such as the Space Shuttle, we would not be able to explore outer space. For better or worse, they are integral to our modern way of life. In this sense, the fourth movement, Machines, pays homage to the machines that enrich our lives by allowing us to defy gravity.
