What are you listening to?

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:

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:

The Hunt 2013 (Official Music Video)​


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.
 

Deep Sleep Music ★︎ Stronger Immune System ★︎ Black Screen Binaural Sleep Music​


Or for the purpose of just reading music for the YT video's odd and exact length of 11:11:11!
 
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:
 
Another track from the One World album by John Martyn, called Small Hours. The whole album is magical. I roll a cig, make a black tea and just meditate to this track. great to listen to the way it was recorded, about 4am as the sun prepared to rise. I like to have all nighters like that sometimes, just to take stock of things as they are. RIP John Martyn, one of the greats.

 

FAUN - Federkleid (Offizielles Video)​


Fun and lively song. English translation of song's lyric here:

plumage​

Across the heath, in the early morning glow
Birds pass on by, where may they be tomorrow
I follow the sizzling of the wings into the somber moor
Age-old songs resound from the haze

Come and fly away with us
Let the wind carry you
Far away from this place
Come and fly as high as you can
Let us chase the skies
In our dance

Silken Haze, so chilly, brushing my skin
Further and further, where shall I find my yearning's goal
I close my eyes and grow a plumage
I feel the wind already and spread my wings to fly

Come and fly away with us
Let the wind carry you
Far away from this place
Come and fly as high as you can
Let us chase the skies
In our dance

The heavens in you, how can I know them, can I see them
In flight we dance like the stars, moving on their paths

Come and fly away with us
Let the wind carry you
Far away from this place
Come and fly as high as you can
Let us chase the skies
In our dance
 

M.I.K.E. vs York feat. Asheni - Across The Ocean (R.I.B. with Soty & Seven24 Remix)​

It was all written in the book of life
We are the universe
A fraction of stars
One day you will understand
In the blink of an eye
It won't be long

I hang on every word you say
We are the night
All I need is to be one

I hang on every word you say
We are the night
All I need is to be one

Across the ocean
Into the silver sky
Across the ocean
Into the silver sky
 
The following song is a call for Spring coming from the pagan tradition. The band is from Ukraine where the winters are often long and harsh, hence the meaning behind such tradition. It truly feels magical to listen to, mirroring, I feel, the awe of watching mother Nature breathe new life into plants and the wildlife after the stillness of winter.
