Clarise De La Croix

The Order of the Templars, also known as the Knights Templar or Order of the Temple of Solomon, existed for almost two centuries during the Middle Ages.  Its history began around the year 1129, it was one of the most powerful Catholic military monastic orders of the Middle Ages.  The Templars were born in the 12th century with the purpose of protecting pilgrims visiting the Holy Land.  They were skilled fighters during the Crusades and were well equipped for finances.  The Templars were also great builders of fortifications in Europe and the Holy Land.  In 1307 the French king Philip IV, fed up with the economic dependence he had on the order due to the large sum of money he owed, decided to put an end to them.  He met with Pope Clement V to issue a papal bull ordering all Christian kings of Europe to arrest all Knights Templar.  It was not long before the vast majority of the Templars were arrested, tortured and burned at the stake, accused of heresy and sacrilege.  In 1314, Jacques de Molay, the last grand master, was arrested.  De Molay did not submit to King Philip IV and Pope Clement V, pressured by the French monarch, dissolved the order.  Jacques De Molay was tortured for days accused of sacrilege and heresy.  Although he initially pleaded guilty, he later publicly recanted, declaring his innocence and that of his brothers in the Order.  In 1314, Jacques De Molay, last Grand Master of the Knights Templar, was burned alive in front of Notre Dame Cathedral.  Before being burned on the pyre, De Molay cursed King Philip IV of France, his descendants, Pope Clement V, and all those who conspired against the Knights Templar.  De Molay summoned Clement V and Philip IV before the Court of God in one year.  He also said that Philip IV's line of succession would no longer reign in France.  Pope Clement V died on (April 20, 1314) and Philip IV died on (November 29, 1314) and his royal advisor William of Nogaret was poisoned that same year.  Between 1314 and 1328 three children and grandchildren of the French king died.  Fourteen years after Molay's death, the Capetian dynasty no longer existed, after 300 years.  God gave justice to his faithful soldiers.  In June 2011, Pope Benedict XVI apologized for De Molay's murder and acknowledged that he was the victim of false accusations.  Centuries after the tragedy, the Vatican admitted that Pope Clement V had supported the murders, although the Templars were not guilty.

          ✠ TEMPLAR OATH (Original audio text): Clarise De La Croix.....In the name of God and our Lord Jesus Christ, you will defend the most defenseless with honor and courage.  Do not be afraid in battle because God is with yourselves. Be righteous before the truth, so that God may love you... and go and do good where evil dwells... That is your oath.  ..

DARKNESS

Berliner Mix.mp3

Raks Sharki Of The Desert.mp3

I pictured a Viking funeral and tried to capture the sorrow and lament of its participants.
When the instruments fade at the end you will hear the earth rumble,thats the sound of the warriors passing to Valhalla....where Odin awaits with open arms.
The rumble is playing from the start,its always present.

Album Description:

Terminal Caribe is the newest album of Santi & Tuğçe who weave timeless, borderless melodies with global, dance floor rhythms. Similar to their previous releases which take listeners on a sonic adventure all the way from the coasts of the Black Sea to the Parana River, Terminal Caribe presents a peculiarly personal, yet undoubtedly universal odyssey exploring the deep interrelations between music, movement, and memory. Named after a bus stop where the duo had the initial inkling for this album, Terminal Caribe serves as the point of departure for an entrancing journey through a wildly varied world of sound. Soulful melodies, captivating harmonies, colorful orchestration, polyrhyhmic percussions and marimbas, and deep bass lines combine with heartwarming vocals and the sounds of sea to tell a tale that is at once epic, melancholic, spacy and irresistibly groovy.

Santi (from Asunción, Paraguay) and Tuğçe (from Istanbul, Turkey) left their homes to follow their dreams of music and have been road companions and musical partners for more than a decade. They collaborated on two full length-albums, four EPs and numerous singles which captivated listeners worldwide. With their 2016 EP El Regreso del Gallito, “Santi & Tuğçe rewrote Paraguayan folklore” (Thump Vice, Brazil) and with their Songs for My Grandmother, selected as one of the best albums from Turkey in 2017 by Beehype, they remade Turkish classics for contemporary audiences. Drawing on their eclectic background and constant pulse for innovation, Santi & Tuğçe once again reinvent an unpredictable and enticing soundscape of the Caribbean and beyond.

Terminal Caribe - Lyrics:

In every new beginning is the dawn of a new end 
And in every new ending is the brink of a descent 
Into that hazy hollow where dreams and demons meld 
Weaving and winding their ways back to sunlit highlands 

And so begins this story, like so many before 
Two young, starry-eyed souls meet and set out to explore 
A new world they have long been seeking and yearning for 
Off they sail into the sea with a song or two and more

Tu m'entends? Non, tu m'entends pas...
j'ai beau crier, tu n'entends pas ma voix...

you cannot hear me, you cannot hear my voice
my call remains answered
(you cannot hear my voice)

je ne sais plus où planter le glaive, pour faire couler ma sève
j'ai peur d'avoir perdu mes rêves....

I'm calling any loving soul
to resist in this prisoned world
to break the heavy invisible bound
to break the locks of our hearts

any side of you they may see
any face of you they may see
whatever
to resist is to be true
to yourself

If my call was heard
I wish you could hear
a little wisdom
in this falsified world
to resist is to be true

to break, to break the invisible bounds
to break, to break the locks of our heart

Entends mon appel

Resistance

Resistance - kaerian & Motion X

For me sovereignty means: to stand back without taking off. Having an overview, a vision, a prudence and at the same time remaining in a deep connection with what I am currently looking at;
means for me: to float, a kind of flying, like becoming an eagle and at the same moment a centipede, who feels with every touch the earth that carries me;
means for me: to know my own possibilities and limits well, like a tightrope walker balancing the antinomies of life;
means for me: to become silent, to be peacefully still, to act and express myself by simply being there....and so it comes that this song gets along without words.   
While recording this song I imagined myself sitting on a mountain; completely alone and totally connected to what surrounds me. 
I hope that some of the sovereignty, as I understand it, comes across in this purely instrumental track.

Einleitung in deutscher Sprache:

Souveränität heißt für mich: Abstand nehmen, ohne abzuheben. Einen Überblick, eine Weitsicht, eine Umsichtigkeit haben und zugleich in einer tiefen Verbundenheit mit dem bleiben, was ich gerade betrachte;
heißt für mich: schweben, eine Art fliegen, wie zu einem Adler werden und im selben Moment ein Tausendfüßler sein, der mit jeder Berührung die Erde spürt, die mich trägt;
heißt für mich: Die eigenen Möglichkeiten und Grenzen gut kennen, wie ein Seiltänzer die Antinomien des Lebens austarieren;
heißt für mich: still werden, friedvoll schweigen, durch einfaches dasein wirken und sich ausdrücken.....und so kommt es, daß dieser Song mal ganz ohne Worte auskommt.   
Bei der Aufnahme dieses Songs habe ich mir vorgestellt, auf einem Berg zu sitzen; völlig alleine und völlig verbunden mit dem, was mich umgibt. 
Ich hoffe, daß von der Souveränität, wie ich sie verstehe, ein wenig in diesem reinen Instrumental-Track rüberkommt.

Souvereignty

Sovereignty

when did it feel like you were gone?
what does it feel like to be wanted?
you all assume that i've got souls chasing after me
did it go just like you had planned?
or was it all a crack in your hand?
did you know that it never ever takes control?
so far there hasn't been a day 
where you don't cross my mind
so far there hasn't been a night 
where your face does not appear in my dreams

========== Lyrics ==========

Heading out that old coast road
Where the sun blasts us away
Heading out where the heat it rises
On the road leading to the Bay
Oh my tousled woman
Watch your hair fly to the sky
Breeze blowin through the window
You singing by my side

How many times, we drove this road before
How many ways, to settle these old scores
Like a summer born, be shining all the way
Like a silent scorn, be blowin it all away

Summer Days, the heat it rising on the road down to the Bay
Summer Days, the fire in us so blind
Summer Days, the heat it rising on the road down to the Bay
Summer Day, you singing by my side, yeh, yeh,yeh

How long, tell me how long is this blast
How long, as these sunny days fly past
Summer Days, Summer Days are Gold
Summer Days, keeping us so hot and bold....
Ooooh ooo, driving along with you
Ooooh ooo, feeling it through and through
And my heart
Will be beating to the big bass drum
Oooh yeh, the music so hot and fun

Oh we're on fire, leaving it all behind
Oh escape so fine, just playing on our mind
Woah, we shimmy down to the songs on the radio
On days like these, our souls burst free and flow

Ooooh, Summer days alive, yeh yeh
Ooooh, we are ridin oh so high, yeh yeh
Ooooh, Summer days alive, yeh yeh
Ooooh, crazy souls unite, yeh yeh
You and me driving up the coast road
Leaving all our woes behind, yeh yeh
You and me driving, yeh, yeh, yeh

Summer Days (with Lizzie Taypen)

You Were Sleeping
Janine Levinson 2020

everyone needs an alien abduction tune


The part of the story I never can tell
Is the part when you open your eyes
Its anti-climactic, but that’s just as well
The ending is still a surprise

You were sleeping          
You were sleeping
And the galaxy shone on the ceiling

I’m not in the habit of waking at night
And maybe it all was a dream
But I turned to you and I swear that a light 
Was drawing you up in its beam
You were sleeping          
You were sleeping
And the sky opened up in the ceiling
 
The white sheet trailed like a wedding gown
And you were an alien bride
A bit of snore bled from your parted lips
As you sailed past the stars in the sky

The end of the story still gives me the chills 
The moment you came back to me
I was up waiting and downward you fell
Still dreaming and wrapped your sheet, I said:

Open your eyes, I’m here right next to you
Open your eyes, 
Open your eyes, I will take care of you
Open your eyes, 

You were sleeping          
You were sleeping
And the galaxy shone on the ceiling

You Were Sleeping
