I often wanted to share a song or two but didn’t in the end, since I didn’t want to start a new thread just for one or two songs, so I thought of starting this new thread in which, from time to time, I will post a song or two (or three… ) Everyone is wecome to post as well. If a song makes you think of another one or of an anecdote, then feel free to share!
Jorane
I actually wanted to share about this artist for a little while but never did until now. She is a very unique, creative and soulfull cellist and singer. She sings sometimes in French, sometimes in English and sometimes in a language of her own creation, like in the first two songs.
Jorane - Film 3
Meditating on this one makes me feel very joyful and hopeful. I find the video very interesting also. It is simple yet I see it full of spiritual symbolism… And somehow, the man makes me think of a guide… How he’s there to show her what she can aim for, and how he is letting her space to be and to live her quest… Yet when she falls, he’s there also, healing her so that she can go on…
Jorane - Work #3
This song and the previous one are like night and day to me, yet both songs come from the same album. This one has a very mysterious and forceful feel, darker perhaps, more `mature`. I love meditating on it whenever I feel bound, tied by something, and feel it highly liberating when her voice raises forcefully, as a light shining true, raising above the dark. Then at the end, I feel it very calming, soothing, when her voice calms down, at peace.
Jorane - Am I the Sky
I very rarelly meditate on a song with lyrics but this one is an exception… To me, the words are about oneness and how it feels to be truly centered and at peace, and I like to meditate on this while listening to this song. Also, the music is very calming and peaceful.
Am I the sea?
Am I the boat?
I feel the waves
It seems like home
Am I the sky?
Am I the bird?
I hear the wind
I know it's song
I feel…
Like I'm the trees and the wind…
Holding them
I am…
Further from pain
I'm opening
And you will stay there
Like water is rain
Whispering
I feel…
Like I'm the trees and the wind…
Holding them
But now I am the eye
And you're the storm
It's coming
I'm happy
But I still wonder
Am I the boat or the sea?
Maybe both
Maybe both
None of them
Away
Maybe both
