Calling For Gaian's Help

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 22:40:25 GMT

Hello I am new to this pod.
I have a book/screenplay centered around our community.
I have written a song , and I want to sing in this song , and I do not play an instrument , or have any musical background , yet I can sing.
I am looking for people to help put this together out of a labour of love .
Your name will be mentioned , and it is about respect , and love for all. It is about one women , and how she stood up on her own , and got out of abuse , and never returned.
There is more . and I could go on , and on yet I am on getting this on the screen ASAP.
It should be out very soo , and may hit a world record. too!

Here it is:

SILENCE IS GOLDEN

(lyrics to my song)

Silence is golden

May the truth be told?

Why is silence golden?

How many times must one break?

For I've been broken

When will silence break?

Silence is golden

May the truth be told?

Why is silence golden?

For the winds whip threw my mind

The storms may come and they may go

Does anyone know?

Silence is golden

May the truth be told?

Why is silence golden?

Life of names

And foolish games

A mat I was

It was no fun on the floor

Any more

Silence is golden

May the truth be told?

Why is silence golden?

How many times must one break?

For how long will it take?

When will silence break?

Silence is golden

The truth will be told then?

Silence is broken

The truth will be golden

Is silence Golden?

The Mountain of Peace

A Musical Exploring the Roots of Violence and the Challenge of Peace

Sunday, September 30; 7pm

Lazzara Hall, Fine Arts Center, University of North Florida

OPENING EVENT of PEACE AWARENESS WEEK

THIS is a FREE EVENT open to all !!

Don't miss this entertaining and inspiring multi-media musical production,

featuring an intergenerational and intercultural cast of local singers, actors

and dancers from UNF and the surrounding Jacksonville community.

This is a community event you won't want to miss, so bring friends and family!

The Mountain of Peace" is a full-length musical that conveys the story of five international

families living in various parts of the world, each of whom loses as loved one to the

ravages of war. These experiences lead the groups into seeking solutions at a peace

summit upon The Mountain of Peace. Through dance, song, and drama, they convey

their pain, their joys, and the difficult process of healing that leads to inner peace,

a prerequisite to outer peace.

The music of Frances Key and Cyrille Verdeaux powerfully enhances this dramatic and

inspiring story, as local singers and actors lend their talents to convey this vitally

important message to our community.

Songs and script written by Frances Key
Frances is a local songwriter, scriptwriter and teacher, founder of the Raymond and

Crystal Key Humanitarian Initiative and The International Peace Performers.

Directed by Jeremie Cook (Jeremie is an award-winning director and actor from Jacksonville)

Dance Choreography by Wendy Sugalski

School of the Arts)

Oh Africa!
Flag of the Living Stars

For anyone living close to Northern Florida, this is a magnificent musical production; and admission IS FREE!! Please consider rewarding yourself and viewing this important theatre event in the beautiful main concert hall on the UNF campus in Jacksonville, FL.

Below are the lyrics to a song ("As Above, So Below) from this musical that presents the central theme and thesis of the production: the inter-connectedness of all life (a very Buddhist concept, I might mention):

As Above, So Below

It's said to be a mystery,

But evidence abounds,

In ethereal and material,

All principles are found.

Why wonder what's beyond-

Life's mirrors tell the tale...

Upon the earth are manifest,

The very things we work with here!

This connection gives direction,

To all who seek to know,

It's expansion that brings attraction,

Whether near, whether far,

Energy does flow.

As above, so below,

(Child questions) From them to us, from us to them?

(Answer) There's no "us" and "them- we're One!

Some are the hands, some are the feet, some are the eyes and ears,

So does the work get done.

As above, so below,

As above, so below.

Inspiration brings new action,

Like atoms following the rule of eight,

Everybody's looking to unite with those, who stimulate their mind and souls,

To bond with those who generate the same (vibration)

As above, so below,

As above, so below.

We link, and link, and link, and link,

The spectrum do we cover,

Degreed awareness is what we are,

Building upon each other.

As above, so below,

As above, so below.

Wait a moment, let me see...

It's starting to be clear;

We're all reflections of each other,

So there is no there nor here, no here nor there?

As above, so below,

As above, so below.

Exactly- see, it's not that strange!

Our thoughts like rivers flow,

We send out intentions through all dimensions,

And focus makes them grow.

Focus makes them grow!

As above, so below,

(Reflect, protect, direct, collect, connect!)

As above, so below,

(Contemplate, illuminate, elevate, initiate, radiate,

Incubate, reciprocate, In this way we all create!)

As above, so below,

As above, so below.

As above, so below,

As above, so below.

It's really simple, don't you see?

Love's the highest energy,

On Compassion wings it flies,

'Cross the veil of Space and Time.

Let It Be

http://quadrinity.gaia.com — Sat, 15 Sep 2007 23:44:02 GMT

Let it be

funny how it comes
back to you and me
circling around

funny how it goes
drivin' me around the bend
once again

Let it be, Let it be
Let it be, Let it be

slowly inside out
turning, turning me
falling apart
the memory has started to fade
an anywhere but here
wish that I could be
someone, maybe somebody else

Let it be, Let it be
Let it be, Let it be

soft, like the sea
you were so soft to me

Let it be, Let it be
Let it be, Let it be

I love the poetry of the lyrics, but the combination of instruments sounds were what took me out of my own minds furor into the peace of letting go. Truly awesome.

Thank you

THE SULTRY SOULFUL SOUNDS OF POP-ROCK VOCALIST
***CARMEL HELENE***
** (for a sampling, check out http://www.carmelhelene.com/bio.htm)

Drawing from past experiences, Carmel Helene has developed into an extraordinary and talented performer. Her soulful, yet sultry voice blended with her guitar driven pop rock style, separates her from a crowd. With her exotic looks and edgy lyrics she is masterful, combining the sounds of artists like Alanis Morissette, Ani DiFranco and Michelle Branch . Carmel’s high energy performances are honest and personal in nature, proving that she is an artist who can not be ignored.

Much love,
Kathy Smith

Listen to JOE HEDGES - unique

If you like alternative rock music, you may enjoy this fellow I came across recently: http://www.joehedges.com/

His presentation on the web looks very professional but be reminded; this is INDEPENDENT MUSIC (meaning not financed by a major record co.) and it needs support to flourish. I ordered the new CD and hope you will consider it.

Thanks!
Kathy

powered by ODEO This groove just happened. It's dedicated to Bunny Brunel because the influences of Bunny are so evident in the groove. I still eat my heart out :) Bunny is one of the worlds most inspired players.

About the tracking:
I first laid the groove to a simple drum beat. Then added the harmonics (on the right of the stereo spectum) The fleshed out the drum track using a Reason Combinator. And lastly did the little melody line (on the left).

Simple ways to have a lot of FUN! It also is the audio partner to my avatar.
