Judee Sill / ‘Emerald River Dance’
Emerald river dance with such velvety grace
To the rhythm of the Earth
And every beat reveals magic pathways of light
Where each seeker finds rebirth
The sun to the bleating absence of sound
And you will hear what is
And you will hear what is
And you will hear what is…
And nature ever favors softness like grass growing
Gently through cement
And softness often thrives where brutality lies
In a shroud of death’s foul scent
The sun to the bleating absence of sound
And you will hear what is
And you will hear what is
And you will hear what is…
It seems like everyone’s so afraid of emotion
‘Cause they can’t bear the pain
But the deeper sorrow carves in the heart of your
being
The more joy you can contain
The sun to the bleating absence of sound
And you will hear what is
And you will hear what is
And you will hear what is
And you will hear what is
And you will hear what is…

Sibylle Baier / “Remember the Day,” from the album Colour Green
did you ever drive in a moonstruck constitution
and find to reach a seaport at dawn is a solution
you should If you could
there slowly, slowly, I no longer thought of what is good or what is not
there simply was the water’s smell and remoteness
I only stood and watched that old cold ocean
in tender and bright, full, unspeakable emotion
I did what I could
all was good

(via theuglyearring, owlsnest)

Sir John Betjeman reads his poem ‘The Flight From Bootle’ with music conducted & composed by Jim Parker (from the LP Betjeman’s Banana Blush, 1974)
Lonely in the Regent Palace,
Sipping her ‘Banana Blush’,
Lilian lost sight of Alice
In the honey-coloured rush.
Settled down at last from Bootle,
Alice whispered, ‘Just a min,
While I pop upstairs and rootle
For another safety pin.’
