How To Weave Tenderness From The Threads Of Thunder

Step Inside

I was in Prilep, Pelagonia province, North Macedonia in October 2022 during the Macedonian Uprising Day (October 11). I made some recordings of the celebrations in the evening and also of my hike to the Markovi Kuli (Marko's Towers) in the morning, a truly beautiful place.

J'étais à Prilep, province de Pélagonie, Macédoine du Nord en octobre 2022 lors du Jour de l'Insurrection Macédonienne (11 octobre). J'ai fait quelques enregistrements des célébrations le soir et aussi de ma randonnée jusqu'aux Markovi Kuli (Tours de Marko) le matin, un endroit vraiment magnifique.

October In Pelagonia

Christos - Vocals, Lyrics


Breathing in a sea of violence,
Dealing with my fate with a consiouss eye,
Swimming by my anger to silence,
Its a stepping stone to what you shall live,
Met you in a day of weakness,
That i am alone with nothing to quest,
Give me now your only forgiveness,
Make me feel blessed that i found you now,
Swimming all my pain in your madness,
Swimming just above the thought of your hopes,
Playing all around with your sadness,
Can't you feel in this role that am not alone ,
Travelling in your sea of badness,
Shore to shore sacred by my holy oath,
Do you want to feel my godness,
Do you want to feel my breath in your core.

Enjoy One Breath!!

Nudes In The Forest -  3 - 2-2025

This song has a metaphor I've used once before. in the track Autumn in the Wind. In that song we are "Standing waves to winds of harm... In this song we are too "... standing waves"
I love the idea of us being standing waves to poisonous mind sets. So, a standing wave is a sound wave that cancels another wave out because of the relevant symmetry between themselves and the surroundings and we get silence instead of the two sounds. So when using it now I'm empowering us as the standing waves to hate, as hate is all created on our heads just like love is...


Lyrics

I was wrong
Flew off that handle
That was made ok
It found responsible person
Remnant of reason
Bloomed harmony season
Intelligence for my emotional treason

So cheers man
Cheers for time
Cheers for love
May melody rhyme
Life's too short to not care
My disillusionment made fair

I was wrong
Now that's not matter
Our standing waves
Wrapped that in batter
We seasoned sane
With simple tame
Harmony in collaboration again

I just listened to a very interesting piece on the radio about emotional intelligence. Since becoming a parent I've obviously thought a lot about this and generally consider myself to be that. Parenting is the single biggest thing that has challenged my EI in my adult life although seeing how my kids act a mirror of me is very enlightening indeed...

However I wasn't emotionally intelligent the day I deleted this upload...

So this is a collab with superb artist Remnant60 https://soundcloud.com/remnant60

Not so long ago when I was flying off the handle trying to make sense of politics in art and very disillusioned by whats going on... Remnant60 called me out on that and how I maybe project against just one side sometimes... I flew off the handle before we even had a chance to talk... Slapped him with some words, Unfollowed him and deleted our collab... What a muppet I was...

I've been waiting for the opportunity to make it right and make it better...

The song musically hasn't changed from how it was when I last had it up but I added a poem to mark that negative turned positive...

My outlook on life has changed a little and I have Remnant60 and a few other straight talking and silent SoundClouders to thank for that...

You know our problems only get fixed when we are emotionally intelligent towards one another ... even if our truths clash... As artist Sound23 advertises so wonderfully with his birds (https://soundcloud.com/sound23-941370948/dream-of-better-times-in-2023?si=d02356731cea4d7bbd391293880bdeeb&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing)... We need to fly both directions at the same time from a middle ground and accept each other for how we are and what we are. Once thats not hurting anyone else then acceptance is the key I suppose...
Listen to Acceptance by Neowakan (Aileen Asatouri) on #SoundCloud
https://on.soundcloud.com/VYVk31WNDkPDQwCK8 Aileen paints that nicely with her amazing instrumental track there.

The expert on the radio said we learn our emotional intelligence from viewing other people and in turn honing our empathy. Well Remnant gave me an ickle upgrade that day...

It's worrying how the young generation replaces watching people with screens though... They're all going to be weirdos unless that changes..

I suppose, it's ok to be wrong if you're prepared to be right again about it when the light actually shines on any subject. Don't be afraid to admit your wrong. Be proud of whatever you've discovered even if you need to hold your hands up and say. My bad 🙌🏽
