The Rising Vital

Born Summer
Dedicated to my children.  The verses are written in order of their births:  Caitlyn, Renin, Cainin, all born in Summer, and only 2 weeks apart from each other between 6/25-7/10  (1998/2015/2019).  

Verse 1
You were born in July
Didn’t breathe, you didn’t cry
Then like a firework, you arrived
I held you, so tight 
On the day that you came into my life

Verse 2
We ran to the day
That wait, to know your name
How you’ve grown, six years old and shining like the sun
You’ve brought a beauty unparalleled into my life

Chorus
Oh, let your sunshine down on me
You were Born Summer
You were Born Summer to me

Verse 3
He begins, sweet summers skies and his star shines so bright
Here you are, as was I, so much more, I realize
Oh, the joy, that you’ve brought into my life

Born Summer

The Star

"Requiem Of The Chanting Steel" is a sonic meditation on the devastating effects of war, the relentless pursuit of technological development, and the pollution that suffocates our planet. I composed this piece with the intention of drawing attention to how aggressive industrialization and global conflicts can erode not only the environment but also the very essence of humanity.

From the opening chords, the anthemic rhythm, present throughout the composition, evokes a grave and dramatic sense, symbolizing the ineluctable march toward destruction. It is a march of steel, of heavy machinery dominating battlefields and industrialized cities, but also of a humanity losing control. The rhythm becomes a call — a call for all of us to reflect on the path we are heading down. It is a lament for the loss of balance, a testimony to how technology has supplanted nature, and how unchecked development drives us toward a tragic end.

As the melody progresses, the weighty, intense tones of metal and synthesizers intertwine with more organic motifs, such as nature's roots beginning to wrap around the metal structures, symbolizing a return to a primordial state, a need to reconnect with nature. It is a story of resilience, of how nature reclaims its place despite technological advancement, but also of the inevitable decline of industrial civilization.

At the conclusion of the piece, male voices solemnly intone "Hora es" – a song of awakening, a call to action. This chant symbolizes the final moment of awareness. "The time has come" for us to awaken, to cease escalating global conflicts, and to stop destroying the planet in the name of false industrial progress. It is a plea to take action, in the twelfth hour, to save what remains of nature, of ourselves, and of our future.

This piece is meant to serve not only as a requiem for the world we are on the verge of losing but also as a manifesto for the necessary change. It is time to acknowledge the devastating effects of war and pollution and to return to balance before it is too late.

Requiem Of The Chanting Steel

It’s a country influenced number with guitar harmonica and a little touch  of mandolin. I’m trying out my best Willy Nelson voice!. Hope you like it!
