leaving terra
leaving terra
if you’re a thought
you will want me
to think you
and I did
invite a Guest
up until you announced
that
you had moved in
“what do you plan to do
with all your freedom?”
the new sheriff said,
quite proud of his
Badge
“you must admit the Land is now
in good hands”
yes, time will tell that
you just life your lamp
I will follow
Her on her [...]

James Horner – Listen to the Wind
Time is a river that flows endlessly
And a life is a whisper, a kiss in a dream
Shadows dance behind the firelight
And all the spirits of the night remind us:
We are not alone
Tomorrow: a sun soon rising
And yesterday is there beside us
And it’s never far away
If you listen to the [...]

Loreena McKennitt – The English Ladye and the Knight
It was an English ladye bright,
(The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall)
And she would marry a Scottish knight,
For Love will still be lord of all.
Blithely they saw the rising sun
When he shone fair on Carlisle wall;
But they were sad ere day was done,
Though Love was still the [...]

Overheard this song on a live internet stream I was watching today and now I can’t get this song out of my head.
Lyrics:
Is your secret safe tonight?
And are we out of sight?
Or will our world come tumbling down?
Will they find our hiding place?
Is this our last embrace?
Or will the walls start caving in?
(It could be [...]

Long before Dan Brown decided to take on the Gnostic Gospels, Tori Amos was talking and singing about Mary Magdalene and the history of women in the Christian church.
Mary was our role model in the Christian church, and we’re talking about a woman that was a sexless being in the teachings. I think we can [...]

It’s four in the morning, the end of December
I’m writing you now just to see if you’re better
New York is cold, but I like where I’m living
There’s music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
I hear that you’re building your little house deep in the desert
You’re living for nothing now, I hope you’re keeping some [...]

In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
Ive changed my face, Ive changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose
Don’t give up
cos you [...]

Whenever I’m alone with
You you make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again
However far away I will always love [...]

I recently bought Scarlet’s Walk for a friend and have been listening the album again myself. I found myself looking at this song in a completely different way that I had before.
