"Beim Schlafengehen" from Vier Letzte Lieder by Richard Strauss

Text by Hermann Hesse

Nun der Tag mich müd gemacht,
Soll mein sehnliches Verlangen
Freundlich die gestirnte Nacht
Wie ein müdes Kind empfangen.

Hände, lasst von allem Tun,
Stirn, vergiss du alles Denken,
Alle meine Sinne nun
Wollen sich in Schlummer senken.

Und die Seele, unbewacht,
Will in freien Flügen schweben,
Um im Zauberkreis der Nacht
Tief und tausendfach zu Leben.




Upon Going to Sleep
Hermann Hesse

Now that day has made me tired,
My blissful yearning
Will welcome starry night
In friendship like a sleepy child.

Hands, rest from all your tasks,
Brow, forget all thinking
All my senses now
Want to sink in slumber.

And my unguarded soul
Wants to soar in freest flight
Within enchanted night time circles,
To live a thousand fold profoundly.
 
Cover version of Fairy Tale of New York (with a slight change to the lyrics).

This song was partly inspired by the romantic fiction thread and is my interpretation of how a relationship can make us stronger and more resilient, about this dance we call partnership and love. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it.

it's a ten minute rock song, took me 4 months to create, produce and mix, a labor of love indeed .


The music video is a version of the ballet Spring water. Filmed in slow motion in order to focus on balletic movements and to heighten aesthetic response.

Complementarity​


Holy queen on her throne
Regal eyes interlope
Streaming light
Full of hope
Realize cornerstone
Take all of me

Growing truth
Feed your soul
And be heard

Holy king on his throne
Scars wither
Credence showing
Not alone

Random boy
One delivered something whole and strong
Limber honor libido

So this is love
Oh addle love
Stay
Saviors
Thread entwined
All
Realize you’re all

Holding hiding let it go free and strong
Hold the light and fine will comes in sharing love

Healing heart in the fire
Meaning starts to inspire
Holding onto the lie
Owning up to the scar
Breathe it in

Fire inside fueling the courage
So that these souls will live again
Shining prize pending the courage
So the divided will amend

Kissing the sky daring the night breaking the hold of unworthy
Run to the fire push through the pyre something beyond so holy
Kraken and coal one must let go two is the greatest army

When we share
vulnerable
When we share our fears
We’re nearer

Committal to every moment
In giving true are the lovers
Anima mia yearning for you
Anima mia believes in us

Bleeding yore inner lie
Annealing starts to expire
Knowing eyes recognize
Holding onto the fire
Breathe it in

Lying mind this all takes courage
So that the heart will beat again
Scry inside finding the courage
So that the spiral we ascend

Drifting in flight solidify sharing a bond so worthy
Gaining insight hearts are alight spreading the light so holy
Clotting the sol never let go two is the greatest army

When we share
vulnerable
When we share our fears
We’re nearer

Committal to every moment
Receiving true are the lovers
Anima mia yearning for you
Anima mia believes in us

Carving your own path in tandem
Following your heart abandon (fear)
Fear is just a programmed fashion
Give to those that ask the question
Yin and yang and queen and king and
Break on through with potent passion

Rise
Rise up

Hunger desire
You don’t master anything (by running from it)
Don’t run
Don’t run away

All that I’ll ever need
Real as I’ll ever be
Home is the heart you give
Co-linear indeed

Dasvidaniya so long to infancy
Dasvidaniya fear and anxiety
Dasvidaniya to all the doubt inside
Dasvidaniya no longer need to hide
Dasvidaniya so long to being alone
Dasvidaniya no more of being unknown
Dasvidaniya to all this inner war
Dasvidaniya and welcome to something more


Achene honeybee
Gneiss aver

Concentric spirals rising up through time
With patience and understanding and most of all commitment and love
To heed the call of interdependence
Helping each other grow
In baring our souls in perfect honesty we learn to develop our potential and creativity
Through each other with each other and because of each other
A new path emerges
With hope courage and love

Committal to every moment
In giving true are the lovers
Anima mia yearning for you
Anima mia believes in us

Near something so strong
We share and belong
Heavens’ arms
Beckons us
We remember the call

Anima mia yearning for you
Anima mia believes in us

Love
 
That was absolutely STUNNING, Baz.

I'll say two things, your matchup is perfect. The second: I'm a noob when it comes to dance (been to a few), but this is absolutely incredible! It's the first one I've seen that was SIGNALLING so many things and you could follow along like it was a story!

10/10
 
May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How far you are from home

Mornië utúlië (Darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië (Darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

May it be the shadow's call
Will fly away
May it be you journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun

Mornië utúlië (Darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way

Mornië alantië (Darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

A promise lives within you now
 
Greg Lake performs his 1975 classic "I Believe in Father Christmas" filmed live at St. Bride's Church, Fleet Street, in the City of London with Jethro Tull' s Ian Anderson on flute, David Arch on keyboards, Florian Opahle on acoustic guitar and the church choir.


"I Believe In Father Christmas"

They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the Virgin birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winters light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas Tree smell
And eyes full of tinsel and fire

They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a Silent Night
And they told me a fairy story
'Till I believed in the Israelite
And I believed in Father Christmas
And I looked to the sky with excited eyes
'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise

I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave New Year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell
The Christmas we get we deserve

Was wondering if I’d had a bit of an epiphany yesterday and then the timing, action and chosen ‘name’ of a fellow FOTCM member struck as rather elegant. Hope they stumble across this, not for all but I love it and took it as a positive ‘sign’ 🤗🖤

@gnosisxsophia,

I am not sure why this seemed like a "positive 'sign'" but I did see a raven sitting on a cross in the imagery. Personally, I think Paleochristianity is much more hopeful that that.

The only reference I could find in the sessions for raven was:

Session 21 February 1998:

Q: (L) I have written to a LOT of people about the publishing... when am I going to find what I am looking for? I am amazed at how many people want to read the material after I have sent out these excerpts.

A: Then you should know our response.

Q: (L) Wait and see?

A: Bingo!! Did we not tell you, did we not advise you about the network??!??

Q: (L) Of course...

A: And what did you do?

Q: (L) Well, I did it as soon as I could...

A: And what happened?

Q: (L) The Lizzies tried to kill me! {laughter}

A: The Lizard Force, i.e. STS, has been attacking you since day one. We have been advising you only for 1.5 years, as you measure it.

Q: (L) The situation is such that I am running out of force from working against this constant oppression and opposition. Can you tell me if I will ever have some peace of mind so that I can continue to function?

A: Have we?

{Background for next question: Headless Valley is a specific region (Lat: 61.25 Long: -124.5) of the South Nahanni River valley (Canada) said to encompass a lost world complete with tropical forests, murderously savage natives, and a myriad of mysterious creatures ranging from 'Bear Dogs' to Sasquatch. The legend of Headless Valley is unusual in that it is fairly modern, having originated in 1908, following the discovery of two decapitated miners in the region of the South Nahanni River. Since that time, several other disappearances and murders have been documented in the region. See also: http://raven-talesoftheweird.blogspot.com/2011/02/valley-of-headless-men.html}

Q: (L) I guess. Okay, there is some valley in Canada that is supposed to be very mysterious and it seems that no one will go to the area any more because they all end up dead with their heads cut off. Who is doing this? Is there some Indians or cave people or what?

A: STS beings, density 4.

Q: (L) Oh, goodness! Well, I think that I ought to ask something else because I have this feeling that there is something right around the corner, or something just out of my line of sight that I do not see. I guess I am asking for unknown knowledge.

A: Knowledge of an unknown nature is not knowledge.

It is not the fate of what I would like for anyone to find but that is just my opinion. Music is "good" the Cs tell us but we need to be aware of the message in the lyrics along with the sound.

Beyond my observation I think you will understand and I like many of your music selections and posts.
