Okay, here’s for the real test. It sounded good with chlorine filled ears earlier tonight in the swimming pool – and I’m saying it’s finished, but here it is. The question is, am I learning anything?
Song: Earth In Me
Performer: Hanna Katla Baldursdottir
Lyric: Thomas Shepherd & Hanna Katla
I put my hand out
I feel the pulse
The mountain stirs
Beneath my feet
Stillness; moonrise.
The Earth in me
The Fire in my soul
The mountain, it erupts, the
Volcano of my life
Of my life
Magma melts through me
My soul awakened
Rupturing below
The world beneath
Fissures; rock falls
The Earth in me…
In wake in sleep – dream
I feel the people move.
To me, they speak
Those people of–
Hidden halls; of old.
The Earth in me…
I think this would fit in very well with the setting of the novel and maybe some of its themes. It reads like a set of lyrics translated from Icelandic into English, which might not be a bad thing!!
Following a suggestion today from I think I may try and sing (yes that is the sound of million meowing cats!) this to the tune that I have for it. If the results are not too embarrassing I shall post them here for all to listen to…
Well all my friends at least! Aren’t I nice? *grins*
