“How Beautiful Are the Feet” is a lyrical aria from Handel’s Messiah (1741), usually sung by soprano or alto with orchestral accompaniment. Its serene melody and tender expression set to words from Isaiah 52:7 celebrate the message of peace and salvation.

This performance from the Advent season 2006 captures the spiritual depth of Handel’s music, with Cristina Piccardi’s luminous voice supported by the Advent Chamber Orchestra. Preserved and distributed by Pandora Records, it offers an intimate glimpse into the ensemble’s dedication to presenting timeless sacred repertoire.

George Frideric Handel – Messiah, HWV 56: “How Beautiful Are the Feet”

Arion (アリオン, Echoes of Distant Terra) carries a fragile soul across fading stars, a hymn of return to the lost homeland, a prayer echoing through the silence of space.

Arion (English lyric translation)
Let us return to that distant planet
Where wilted petals drift
On waters dark and deep
Back to that planet

The overflowing memories of our world are home
They live with pain, yet still remain

Arion, do not leave me behind
Take me with you through the void

Arion, now take flight
Before this body melts away

I call your name
Come, let us return to that planet

Ephemeral echoes, when the dream begins to fade
We will sail beyond the distant stars
Though sadness travels with us still

Arion, do not leave me behind
Please hear my voice

Arion, be still
Before the future disappears

In the name of love
Come, let us return to our home

The fragile memory of life, I will never let you go

Arion, do not leave me behind
Carry the two of us away

Arion, now take flight
Before tomorrow turns to ash

In the name of love
Come, let us return to our home

Arion, do not leave me behind
Take me with you once more

Arion, now take flight
Before this body melts away

I call your name
Come, let us return to that planet
Come, let us return to our home among the stars

Arion

Greeting earthlings and welcome to my 6th video offering of spooky songs for this October! 👻! This song I wrote in 2020 for the first Halloween during the pandemic, those were scary times indeed! It wasn't recorded too well, very distorted and punk rock sounding, and I'm singing it so that should send chills up and down your spine already!🎃 I'm off-key a lot on this song and I may wind up deleting it in a few days! It originally wasn't a Halloween song but I turned into one and tweaked the lyrics a little bit and made a spooky video for it! The video is brand new, I finished it a few months ago. It has all kinds of spooky critters in it, the usual cast of horrors, vampires, zombies, killer clowns, yada, yada, and further yada! The lyrics I feel are some of my best, musically I could have done better. (I know but I got the olds! It's very Lo-Fi and old school and I re-used several clips I had used in earlier videos but who's counting right?)

     The video I worked very hard on with a lot of quick cuts and eye-candy 👀! Lots of visual & audio effects thrown in all over the place! Watch until the end and you'll see a creepy friend of mine crawl across your screens! She's so delish, the Black Widow!! 🧛‍♂️ 🕷️ I originally wrote this song for somebody like Alice Cooper to sing, remember him? The King Of Shock Rock!! I hope everyone is almost ready for Halloweeen 2025!! 🎃Thanks for watching and listening and have a safe & Happy Halloween!🙏🎃✌🏼

"DEEP INTO YOU" (Video -https://youtu.be/ZATIWzmpSBs)

After The storm ( feat Shin )

SAINT-EX FLIES OVER THE ANDES FOR THE FIRST TIME (instrumental)

Song for accountability against women who inflict violence against men too, society doesn't protect them as they should. I didn't forget YOU.

Verse 1

She didn’t love, she took control she didn’t care, she scarred his soul 
She didn’t protect, she tore him down she’s the abuser, the truth is found

She slammed the door, destroyed his name 
She mocked his hurt, she played her game 
She used the kids, she ruled with fear 
No more excuses, the truth is clear

Pre-Chorus Men get silenced, men get bruised 
Men get broken, men get used and abused
 Pain doesn’t care what age or gender you claim
 It’s time to rise, to name and shame

Chorus
She’s the abuser, hear the call
 Men get hurt too, it shames us all 
No more silence, no disguise
 See it, hear it, report it open your eyes 
Men have rights, they matter too 
They are strong for choosing what’s true 
They are not weak for walking away 
They are brave for finding a brighter day

Verse 2

She cut with words, she starved his peace
She set the rules, his voice decreased 
She blocked his friends, rewrote the truth Accountability stands as proof

She threatened harm, she spread the blame 
She isolated, fed the shame 
She made decisions, locked him in It’s not confusion, it’s her sin

Pre-Chorus
Men get silenced, men get bruised
 Men get broken, men get used and abused 
Pain doesn’t care what age or gender you claim
 It’s time to rise, to name and shame

Bridge
 Stand for the men who hide their pain 
Told they’ll never be believed again
 Embarrassed, shamed, pushed aside
 But truth will rise, it won’t subside 
They deserve love, respect, repair 
Tender care we all should share

Final Chorus
She’s the abuser, hear the call
Men get hurt too, it shames us all 
No more silence, no disguise
 See it, hear it, report it open your eyes
 Men have rights, they matter too
 They are strong for choosing what’s true 
They are not weak for walking away
 They are brave for finding a brighter day
 Violence is never ok, no matter sexuality, gender, or race.

She's The Abuser

VC JACOBY - POET ON MUSICAL WAYS

Volker Carl Jacoby - Autor, Poet, Kabarettist, Comedian, Liedermacher, Synchronsprecher - https://www.literaturland-saar.de/personen/volker-carl-jacoby

Author, poet, cabaret artist, songwriter, voice actor, journalist and even pastor: Volker C. Jacoby is active in many fields.

He spent his childhood and youth in St. Ingbert. Saarland, Germany, where he attended the humanistic and classical language branch of the State Secondary School. After university and various jobs, he began working freelance for „Saarländischer Rundfunk“ Radio, initially as a correspondent for the SR 3 regional news program, in parallel with his readings and literary solo cabaret programs. This was followed by roles as a narrator for radio plays, as a voice actor, and for various commercials.

In 1977, Jacoby teamed up with Schorsch Seitz to form the duo "Jacoby & Schorsch." Together, they primarily composed humorous songs in Standard German and the Rhenish-Franconian-Saarland dialect with a cabaret-like, ironic touch. Their dialect songs, in particular, filled a clearly existing gap in the market, especially since "SR 3 Saarlandwelle" featured them permanently on their programming, thus making them known to a wider audience. Subsequently, "Jacoby and Schorsch" produced three vinyl albums and three singles. During their tours, they also performed open-air gigs with rock bands.

Soon well known beyond the borders of Saarland, the duo received engagements in Berlin, Stuttgart (Südfunk), Cologne (Westdeutscher Rundfunk), Frankfurt, Munich, Basel, and Brussels, among others. During a TV recording at the Renitenztheater in Stuttgart, they also met Mathias Richling and Karl Dall. Jacoby collaborated with the latter several times for RTL on the radio show "Die schlaue Stunde." In 1993, the popularity of "Jacoby & Schorsch" peaked – not least through their appearances with Hanns Dieter Hüsch  (A "Hüsch Evening" with music in memory of his friend and cabaret colleague Hanns Dieter Hüsch was added to the repertoire – later in 2010).

He moved to France 1994. Since then, he has been performed readings, including singing. His dialect contributions have provided him with a rewarding outlet in the "Mundartring Saar" (Saarland dialect circle), including as a reciter of poems by deceased fellow authors, to whom he lends his voice.

Constantly prolific in literary terms, his poems are in the tradition of comic poetry in the style of Wilhelm Busch, Christian Morgenstern, Joachim Ringelnatz, Eugen Roth, Heinz Erhardt, and Robert Gernhardt. Volker C. Jacoby also publishes his poetry and prose on LiteratPro, Facebook, and YouTube. Since 2025, he has been setting his poems to music and is constantly writing new songs. And, of course, he continues to write his cheerful, humorous, and often very quirky poems.
