Even Galaxies Are Lovers (2015)

Even galaxies are lovers

July 3, 2015

Even galaxies are lovers
Alight, aglow, sparkling from the brilliance within
The fire at the heart of creation
Moving in passionate dance
Now flirting, now fleeing, now
Cuddling in tender joy's embrace
Even galaxies are lovers

Chorus:
We are part of this dance
Eternal romance
From within and from skies above
Sparkling galaxy love

(Second verse still lost as of 2018, will have to attempt rewrite)

More of a poem but could be interesting as a synth thing in 3 parts.

Lyrics

We are born
We laugh we cry
We fall down
We sing we sigh
We grow old
-Er by the day
It's so weird
We're meant to be this way
Measured by sunlight
Measured by sunlight

Did you ever look at the stars as they fade into the dawn
Did you ever gaze at the trees and see them breathing
Did you ever laugh while rolling down a hillside
At how ordinary magic is?
At how ordinary magic is?

Cosmic relativity
Signals synchronicity
A space dust serendipity
Consciousness occupies a body
That can love
That can love

  I could definitely hear this as a softly-sung piece over some nice sounding synths, maybe in the style of Ladytron, as sung by Bowie. There's a wonderful mix of existentialism and also measuring ourselves by the universe that I like very much. It's very deep, but without being pretentious.

  This definitely reads like a song to me, great rhythm to the lyric and love the rhymes. This is great 'Cosmic relativity Signals synchronicity A space dust serendipity' would love to hear this one

Lyrics

The little people live in star-dappled shadows
Dipping in and out of light
They hold their own lives
Their own secrets
Dipping in and out of sight

They cry out
In voices beyond hearing
Yet somehow
We hear their call
We hear their call

The nature spirits live in many dimensions
Dipping in and out of light
They dance through the planes
Their existence
Dipping in and out of sight

They cry out
In voices beyond hearing
Yet somehow
We hear their call
We hear their call

When we cut down a forest
Or poison a river
It's as if a thousand thousand souls
Cried out at once
And then were silenced

They cry out
In voices beyond hearing
Yet somehow
We hear their call
We hear their call

  I love the "we hear their call" echoes -- I hope we do! Also the phrase "star-dappled shadows."

  "Dipping in and out of light/sight" is such a wonderful refrain.

  I wish we were paying more attention to the spirits trying to protect our forests, lands and waters!

Crown of Summer (1996)

Crown of Summer

1996

Chagall

Raise the crown of summer high
Hear the whispering
Of faerie feet and faerie wings
And gates to worlds unseen

Linden tree in flowering
Green apples on the bough
Summer's harvest not yet ripe
A promise and a vow

Now the bees are slumbering
And the grass is high
Circles dancing round and round
Earth is joined with sky

Raise the crown of summer high
Hear the whispering
Of faerie feet and faerie wings
And gates to worlds unseen
Gates to worlds unseen
Gates to worlds unseen

Seal Woman (2003)

Seal Woman

2003

Chagall

A very slow chant, written about the Selkie legends of both North America and Britain. Published on my album in 2003.

Lyrics:

Seal woman, take your skin
Go on home, you cannot stay worn thin

For the waves, wild and free
Are your home, a longing is calling thee

Water woman, don't you stay
For your skin, is drier every day

For the waves, wild and free
Are your home, a longing is calling thee

Ocean woman, go your way
Go on home, then you'll be back someday

For the waves, wild and free
Are your home, a longing is calling thee
