And here's some more of the same that I just recently discovered. Wow, just wow. So brilliantly full of light, and peace, and inspiration...
"There’s something so gentle and dreamlike about your videos-they feel like memories from a world we’ve almost forgotten. ‘Whispers from the Shell’ is not just beautiful, it’s deeply calming. Thank you for creating something that lets us pause and breathe." -YouTube Viewer
Great comment. Pretty much sums it up for me as well, especially the part where he says: "They feel like memories from a world we've almost forgotten." Hmm? Interesting. Could it be, that maybe, that is why it has more of an appeal to some people, more then others? We are going into a whole 'nother realm of human psychology there, with that one. But now that I think about it, it kinda' makes ME wonder. In fact, I remember a scientific experiment that I read about some time ago, where a group of scientists studied a plant's reaction to different types of music, of all things. Dissonance seemed to have a negative effect on the plants well being, while Classical music for instance, seemed to have a positive effect. Hmm?
I do think there is something to it. Sorta' makes sense, when ya' really think about it. Just sayin'...
Some of the most beautifully enchanting music videos I think I have ever seen.
I really dig this kind of Celtic Music to begin with. It like, brings you to another world. Brilliantly creative YouTube Channel...
Some interesting comments from some YouTube viewers in relation to this brilliant music video...
"How I wish there was a world like this. No war, no sickness, no crime, no hunger."
"There is a world like this, and higher, more indescribable, eternally joyful. No pain, decay, disease, or death. We are made for it if you recognize its exquisite perfection. Heaven." (Reply from another viewer)
"There is nothing I can say to describe how this calls to my soul, my druid beliefs, my Celtic ancestry, all things that were stolen and ripped away. Thank you for returning it to me."
And the YES magic goes on. Just discovered this as well. (New release).
Cinematic (Progressive) Rock. Yea, I think it fits...
In some spiritual circles, Perseverance is actually considered a virtue, from what I understand. In that case, I guess I would be considered a FREAKIN' SAINT!!!
Only kiddin'. (But not really). I was quite impressed more then anything else however, with this girl, and the effort (and work) she seemed to put into this amazing pep talk. She seems like a really decent person. Good show. Nice kid...
Ya know, interestingly (on the other side of the fence) many of us also know the stories behind what is known as The 27 Club for instance. (Hmm?) Makes ya' think. Just sayin...
Hmm?
This song holds an interesting memory for me that I never really ever mentioned publicly before. The memory was when I was still living on Long Island and when I was still in my early 20's. Back then, you could pretty much send out unsolicited material to major record labels. It was in relation to a demo of a song I had recorded during the Arti Studio recording sessions. It seemed someone in relation to the A&R Dept. by the name of Michael Moriarity (not the actor) at I think it was either Capital or Columbia Records, seemingly had taken notice of the song, and made me an offer of fifty thousand dollars! To give him the rights to the song (and possibly even have us re-record it ourselves on his dime). Believe it or not. He wanted me to take a trip to Manhattan to meet up with him there. To make a long story short, I went with my long time, bass player friend Steve twice, but kept missing him. The day after the 2nd attempt to meet up with him (but missed him once again!) was when I heard this song on the radio for the first time in my car, while the whole affair was still on my mind. It totally blew me away, and actually thought that I was hearing things while I was listening to the lyrics in the song for like, the first time. We were still wet behind the ears back then, as the saying goes, and I was (although not stupid) still pretty naive when it came to things like this. Just thought it fit with this blog post. But, of course now, every time I hear this song by Paul McCartney, I recall that memory...
Another funny thing that I don't think I will ever forget, was during one of our conversations on the phone, he had said that Ted Nugent had just walked in, as I could hear him stopping in the middle of our talk to say hello to him, and as he told me who it was!
Interestingly, the name of the album that this song by McCartney is on (as one can see here) is actually called 'Tug of War'! You just can't make this sh*t up...
I will also never forget, was thinking that maybe some of the people at work had like, played a joke on me or somethin' (that's how crazy the whole thing was) but they kept emphatically denying it...
I actually missed this guy like 3 times really, because when I just came back home from the 2nd time that we went to Manhattan to meet up with him, my sister had just hung up the phone as I was walking in the door, and said that he had just called and asked for me, once again, but when I had called him back, there was no answer!
Also, really strange, was that every time I would attempt to call the phone number that this guy had provided, no one ever answered the phone! (It just kept ringing). Until I finally just gave up, and threw the phone number away...
Yea, I think something is DEFIINTELY going on with this. Haven't quite been able to put my finger on it just yet, but yea, something is not quite right in relation to this.
My applause to this guy for at least discussing (and addressing) something probably many of us may be thinking to ourselves, and wondering about...
