Stop The Apocalypse
This is my "theme" for the day.
I believe that music as well as words can convey a feeling, a message, a power.
And the message and power that the music and words convey may not be restricted to what is being sung. You have to listen closer, deeper, to your heart, and soul. The world speaks to us. Everything has a voice. There is a message in the smallest piece of earth. We are all together, part of one great soul, each living the same mystery, in different incarnations. And music has as much as a voice as a singer.
Ok, so if that's not "earthy-crunchy" enough for you, I told Mike tonight that I have felt that the message in the music of the Legacy project was "stop the apocalypse." I think the world is telling us this. I think that we all know it intuitively. And I think that this project expresses the urgency of that message. The words might be about a vampire and the human-drama of son and father, husband and wife ... but there is something deeper behind it... something which transcends the plot outline that it is built upon.
The music is like a secret code...waiting to be decoded by the most astute and sensitive.
This world will find peace... but not before great struggle and change. And man, spirit, and animal will stand side-by-side in the new world, no longer hunter and prey... just the brethren we always were.
But can we get from here to there without an apocalypse?
