A Fine Frenzy. Musik die eine ganz seltsame Faszination ausübt.
„The poet’s eye, in a fine frenzy rolling, doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven“
(Des Dichters Aug, in schönem Wahnsinn rollend, blitzt auf zum Himmel, blitzt zur Erd hinab)
Die Faszination kommt vielleicht daher, dass die Musik von beispielsweise “One Cell in the Sea” ohne großes BumBumBum auskommt. Zwischen der CD Version und einem unplugged Auftritt werden die Unterschiede recht gering sein. Und das ist schön.
Alison Loren Sudol gehört vermutlich nicht zu den bekanntesten Künstlerinnen in Deutschland. Die Musik hat bei mir allerdings einen festen Platz; obwohl ich ansonsten sehr viel Instrumental und recht wenig Vocals höre wenn ich am PC arbeite.
Eine ganz andere Richtung sind die Gregorian Chants. Das Lied “Be” von Neil Diamond in der “gregorianischen” Interpretation gefällt mir mit am besten. Und scheinbar passen die zwei doch sehr unterschiedlichen Stile — Gregorian Chants vs. A Fine Frenzy — nicht wirklich zusammen.
Mit der Ausnahme, dass beides eben genau dies, Ausnahmen vom Bekannten, vom Alltäglichen, sind.
“Be”
Lost
On a painted sky
Where the clouds are hung
For the poet's eye
You may find him
If you may find him
There
On a distant shore
By the wings of dreams
Through an open door
You may know him
If you may
Be
As a page that aches for a word
Which speaks on a theme that is timeless
And the one God will make for your day
Sing
As a song in search of a voice that is silent
And the Sun God will make for your way
And we dance
To a whispered voice
Overheard by the soul,
Undertook by the heart
And you may know it
If you may know it
While the sand would become the stone
Which begat the spark
Turned to living bone
Holy, holy
Sanctus, sanctus
Be
As a page that aches for a word
Which speaks on a theme that is timeless
While the one God will make for your day
Sing
As a song in search of a voice that is silent
And the one God will make for your way
“The Minnow and the Trout”
Help me out said the minnow to the trout
I was lost and found myself swimming in your mouth
Help me chief
I've got to plans for you and me
I swear upon this riverbed
I'll help you feel young again
Not your every day circumstance
Hummingbird taking coffee with the ants
Please, I know that we're different
We were one cell in the sea in the beginning
And what we're made of was all the same once
We're not that different after all
Help me out said the eagle to the dove
I've fallen from my nest so high above
Help me fly
I am too afraid try
Now saddled with a fear of heights
I'm praying you can set me right
Not your everyday circumstance
Elephant sharing peanuts with the rats
And I said
Please, I know that we're different
We were one cell in the sea in the beginning
And what we're made of was all the same once
We're not that different after all
We are tied in history
Connected like a family
Please, I know that we're different
We were one cell in the sea in the beginning
And what we're made of was all the same once
All the same
We're not that different after all
