Thank you Ivan Chew!

What a treat to be with Ivan’s music. He is a generous ccMixter contributor with a vast library. I wish I had more time and better chops to play with his offerings. I struggled with the writing and only finished the lyrics the morning of upload day which left me little time to record, clean up, and mix the track. Thus, I offer this heartfelt but incomplete track as a work in progress.

The lyrics are inspired by consultation with the Tarot and IChing, including The Tower card, hexagram 29 (The Abyss), hexagram 20 (Viewing/Contemplating), hexagram 44 (Coming to Meet).

IT’S DEEP


It’s deep
Can’t see
It’s dark
still we breathe
We brace We freeze
We don’t know what we need
What’s next unseen
Rumble of fracturing
It’s deep beliefs
so dark still we breathe

(The stars at night are like fairy dust)
Same stars same sky
Same dark same light
(The stars at night are like fairy dust)
Guiding time

(The stars at night are like fairy dust)
Same stars same sky Guiding time

We saw the tower fall before the lightning strike
Fires foretold through visionary eyes
Here is shock but really no surprise
We know what’s true we see the lies

Here is shock but really no surprise
The stars are guiding time
I’ll hold your heart. Can you hold mine?
Our beating hearts are the light

Come with me to meet
what’s Shown to us in our dreams
What we sense we need to see
What is there among the grief
Tears flow to the deep
Be here with me
still we breathe
