Don't fade away
My brown-eyed girl
Come walk with me
I'll fill your heart with joy

And we'll dance through our isolation
Seeking solace in the wisdom we bestow
Turning thoughts to the here and everafter
Consuming fears in our fiery halos

Say what you mean
Mean what you say
I've heard that innocence
Has led us all astray

But don't let them make you and break you
The world is filled with their broken empty
Dreams
Silence is their only virtue
Locked away inside their silent screams

But for now
Let us dance away
This starry night
Filled with the glow of fiery stars

And with the dawn
Our sun will rise
Bringing a symphony of bird cries

Don't bring me down now
Let me stay here for awhile

You know life's too short
Let me bathe here in your smile

I'm transcending
The fall from the garden
Goodnight

DCD has been quite popular in the Philly area. WXPN, the University of Pennsylvania's radio station, has been playing them for years.

XPN plays an eclectic musical format -- you name it, they play it. You can check them out here:

Saw this performed live last night, at Sydney Opera House. The same choir and conductor, (Tõnu Kaljuste,) but with the Sydney Symphony orchestra, not the Estonian.



Unbelievably good!!

Edited to add; Here's Arvo Part himself, being interviewed by the Icelandic lunatic Bjork.

He's good! A cover version of supreme taste, has he done anything else?

An oldie-but-goodie. Heard this on the car radio last night and it made me smile. :D

This music places me in a different head space - - - so lush and pure.

At what point into this two and a half hour ballet does the music place you in a different head space? Let me know so, I, too, can find that space. Thanks.

The Staves debut album



and Seasick Steve (if he's not already made it here). This is fun; he was playing a gig in SF and decided to go busking. Someone recognised him and whipped out the cellphone to film

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

What I find astounding is all the people who just walked on by! :shock: :shock: That was a riveting performance; if I had been there I couldn't have left even if I wanted to. (I especially liked the electric hubcap.) I had never heard of this guy before. Thanks for the introduction.
GAH!
