Lyrics (what the sea seemed to be saying)

Don’t you be afraid
There’s nothing to fear
Life is always good
Love is always here

I am in you all
I am in your heart
Longing for love
I’m in every part…

…of the universal being
willing us to be
and you are universal
You are beautiful and free

I can hear your voice
speaking endless tongues
Dance forever
to destiny’s drums

And with every beat you’re curving through
a moment of change to a meaningful whole
and the arcs illustrate to me
you are my centre of gravity
You are beautiful and free

Beautiful And Free

"Am I Hard?"

"This is a 7-minute anti nuclear war anthem. It was one of three social protest songs Dylan recorded on The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan; the others are "Blowin' In The Wind" and "Masters Of War." Dylan said that the rain was not literal fallout rain, but "some sort of end that's just gotta happen."
"A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" is based on an old folk ballad variously titled "Lord Randall" or "Lord Ronald," in which a mother repeatedly questions her son (beginning with "Where have you been?"), leading him to reveal he has been poisoned. The song ends when he falls dead to the ground.

American folk musicians adopted "Lord Randall" at some point in history. The song evolved into "Jimmy Randall." In In the Pine (Pikeville College Press, 1978), authors Leonard Roberts and Calvin Buell Agey report there being "about 100" known references to the song all over the United States.

Though no definitive line can be drawn, it seems likely that Dylan encountered an American variation of the song that he used as the basis for "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall." By this time, Dylan was deeply immersed in the study of American folk music.
Dylan once introduced this song by saying hard rain meant something big was about to happen."                 Songfacts

A Hard Rain's A- Gonna Fall - Bob Dylan (Cover)

Back in the 1990's, I played and recorded with a popular Christian artist Las Vegas, NV, by the name of Annie Meadows. She had a wonderful Christmas album she released at the time called Memories. This arrangement of the well known and beloved piece by J.S. Bach was the prelude for the album (arranged and performed on the album by an fellow musician from the area, Brian Hicks). I remember those days fondly, and wanted to re-record this piece for Christmas this year!

"Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" is the popular English title of this piece from an Advent chorale Bach composed in 1723. This enduring work is often heard at weddings, as well as during Advent, Christmas, and Easter.

Luke 1:78-79- "Through the tender mercy of our God, with which the Dayspring from on high has visited us; To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.”

Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring- J.S. Bach (Christmas 2024)

A little waltz whose title has been shamelessly stolen from Chopin.

Vals Brillante En Mi Bemol - Eb Brilliant Waltz

Waiting For You

Played from memory, and sung rather badly, but the message is here for you to hear.

"Psychedelic Warlords Disappear In Smoke"

The master of the previous version was a bit quite so I enhance it by raising it's normalization & loudness to match soundcloud stream standards.
