dark and brooding. and cinematic!

cuts off abruptly at the end though…

Wow, Susan. The music is full of contradictions that somehow work together. Restrained and forceful at the same time. Dark, intense, yet gentle. and I must compliment your singing, in my experience it’s extremely difficult to sing over such an ambient piece of music. Just shows how musical you are. I have the deepest respect for what you’ve created here. It’s one of your best.

Wow, I’m speechless. This is a masterpiece!

Dark and lovely all the same time. Impressive

Very deep and moving…loved the tolling bell, that really create a great solemn atmosphere.

chosen we wander in a web of derision until we are lost
in a wind of decision, like dust we are tossed
it’s a storm of choice
Incredible. Lyrically brilliant. The sparse and atmospherically weaved sounds leave the deserved space for the words… and add that layer of dark, contemplative mystery. And your voice! Penetrating harmonies. Feels like Joni Mitchell (which I know I’ve compared you to before)… Strong, yet delicate. The Ed. Pick is well-deserved. This is, indeed, a masterpiece. Thank you for sharing this.

i echo the reviews above. the depth of your insight is mirrored in your strong lyrics, piercing my heart and higher mind. an absolutely spiritual experience, opening the Soul to wonder.

beautiful writing & performance. the backing track suits you and the song perfectly. congrats on the Ed Pick.

I’m glad, that it’s written a long time ago, and those times are gone. Huh, it’s so dark, i have to switch on the lamp while listening. :)
I think all of your works is a film theme. Pictures, feelings, stories, told by your music. I raise my hat to you!

This song is so resoundingly similar to my own struggle to find my path. Who is He? Do I find it on the road of my ancestors? Do I find it on my own road? What is that road? What does the occupier of the gates at the end of it look like to me?

In the book of Kings is a line that says, “Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind.”

I’ve often considered this the most eloquent expression of the idea of Panentheism - the divine in everything, but at the same time exalted above and transcending everything.

That is, I suppose the mystical element that allows me to picture without making an idol.

At any rate, didn’t mean to write an essay, but rather thank you for this thoughtful and personal work that is nonetheless transcendent for me, even beyond the borders of different religious traditions.

This is A GREAT MUSIC Susan,I can say only this by my poor english.,
peace

You have one incredible ear Susan WOW! You continue to blow me away.

“the light filters gently through the glass of shrines” - brilliant! I’m always impressed by your harmonies Susan. Well done.

Your skills are showing.
You got it going on, Susan.

Deep, dark and moody. Draws you in to an intricate world that raises the hairs on the back of your neck.

I almost can’t believe what I just heard.
