What are you listening to?

"Music of the Spheres" is the last place I would have thought about Paul McCartney (who is a contributor) but he is the last impression on this musical creation and it is titled "The Hope":. I started it at his portion at the end but the whole track was good I thought. I am on a biblical quest to find out more about the "Music of the Spheres".

As you have seen above, he is also a conductor:

It's like who says classical musicians can't jam. I was facinated with the interaction of the orchestra and the conductor. They were so good I thought. Just a comment but I thoroughly enjoyed the music.

"Shine" from Canadian band Junkhouse's 1997 album Fuzz.


We live around the hydro towers
Listen to them singing in the park
Wind our clock too tight
And all the radios are glowing in the dark

Mothers lie down in the day time
And dream about Hollywood
I know that they'd get there if they could

It's just a matter of time
Before we get to shine
It's not a question of when
Or who does the crime

We show our skin through picture windows
Sit around cross legged on the floor
Our living rooms electric, TV's, light bulbs
Irons, cancer to the core

Out in our back yards waiting
For women in flying saucers
Under the stars and power lines

It's just a matter of time
Before we get to shine
It's not a question of when
Or who does the crime

The fans and the air conditioners
Runnin' in movie houses
The mother's not coming home again

It's just a matter of time
Before we get to shine
It's not a question of when
Or who does the crime
 

Azam Ali - "Noor (The Light In My Eyes)"​


The song is a lullaby. Her voice...I find it soothing. I couldn't find the English lyrics online unfortunately. However, someone in the comments section of the video put their own English lyric, but from what I could understand from the song in Farsi myself, their English lyric does not seem to be entirely correct. Unfortunately, yes it is a shame, I can't do my own full translation, and if I tried, I most definitely would probably need help from someone with much greater command of the Farsi language, like my parents for instance.

Anyways, here is another one of her songs I found sounding soothful:

Azam Ali -Azam Ali- O Vis Aeternitatis (12th century by Hildegard Von Bingen)​


I found the biblically themed English lyric here:

o power within eternity​

R. O power within Eternity:
All things you held in order in your heart,
and through your Word were all created
according to your will.
And then your very Word
was clothed within
that form of flesh
from Adam born.

R. And so his garments
were washed and cleansed
from greatest suffering.

V. How great the Savior’s goodness is!
For he has freed all things
by his own Incarnation,
which divinity breathed forth
unchained by any sin.

R. And so his garments
were washed and cleansed
by greatest suffering.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit.

R. And so his garments
were washed and cleansed
by greatest suffering

Another one with the video having majestic nature scenes, and again, her hauntingly soothing voice:

All that is left is Sky (Official Music Video) - Azam Ali​


Another similar one:

Azam Ali - Vas - Unbecome HD​


One where she is signing in English a cover of a song from a "Jeff Alexander’s song “Come Wander With Me,” written in 1964 for an episode of The Twilight Zone and sung by actress Bonnie Beecher":

"Come Wander With Me" by Azam Ali​


Last one (I promise!) to share and it is a lot more cheerful and catchy in mood , and the lyrics, well if chosen to to be interpreted in an anthropomorphically archetypal sort of way, are interesting? "And my dog has a rope on its foot, oh yes." Is the latter referring maybe to the brightest start in our sky, Sirius, the Dog Star, and how this might be alluding to something in the spiritual sense about how it has a 'rope' on its foot? Well, I don't really know, just trying to find symbolic meanings online as I type this, but anyways, no point to spend more time on it. Have some serious romance novel reading to do before bed and it is already late! Here is the last song for this post:

Found lyric here:

The Hunt​

Let's go to the field.
Which field?
The same that has rabbits, oh yes.
And my dog has a rope on its foot, oh yes.
Don't kill my dog nor my rabbits,
For the dream of the rabbit reminds me of the dream of my lover, oh yes.

Let's go to the mountain.
Which mountain?
The same that has deer, oh yes.
And my dog has a rope on its foot, oh yes.
Don't kill my dog nor my rabbit, nor my deer
For the grace of the deer reminds me of the grace of my lover, oh yes.

Let's go to the garden.
Which garden?
The same that has pheasants, oh yes.
And my dog has a rope on its foot, oh yes.
Don't kill my dog nor my rabbit, nor my deer, nor my pheasants
For the amble of the pheasant reminds me of the amble of my lover, oh yes.

Let's go to the well.
Which well?
The same that has pigeons, oh yes.
And my dog has a rope on its foot, oh yes.
Don't kill my dog, nor my rabbit, nor my deer, nor my pheasants, nor my pigeons
For the flight of the pigeon reminds me of the flight of my lover, oh yes.

Let's go to the mountains.
Which mountains?
The same that has eagles, oh yes.
And my dog has a rope on its foot, oh yes.
Don't kill my dog, nor my rabbit, nor my deer, nor my pheasants, nor my pigeons, nor my eagles
For the clutch of the eagle reminds me of the clutch of my lover, oh yes.

Back in early eighties there was an animation serie "Il était une fois l'homme", that I liked to watch. Even then, on some level, I felt the theme music to be dramatic. Later on I found out, that it was/is classical music - by Bach.

Lately that "Toccata & Fugue In D Minor" has been like an earworm for me, so I went to Youtube to see 'popularized' versions of it, like in form of electric guitar, but nah, they mostly sound like po(o)p with drum machines and such.

Perhaps this is closer, of how it was originally intented:
