I have been listening to The Nest Collective radio program on resonance radio for the last couple of months and it has been a wonderful source of new music for me, music I am sure I would not have heard anywhere else.
This weeks show featured Ulli Mattson live along with other recorded music by Nordic performers. The one besides Ulli that grabbed my ears was Aurora. Once again here is the link to the show and youtube videos of a couple of beautiful songs. The program is well worth a listen.
What is considered folk music is much broader and has a lot of elements of pop music than it used to, but what I notice about the videos is the female performers are for the most part dressed more than not. They are women singing not objects of desire. I like that. I am definitely into the music.
Everything glitters covered with tiny beads of light.
I want to meet this man and get to know him. He has a rare combination of talent and weirdness that I find irresistible. I found him on the Nest Collective Hour on Resonance Radio and found this lovely little video on YouTube.
Time you enjoy wasting
is not wasted time.
Stop acting so small.
You are the ecstatic
motion of the universe.
It’s only our mistakes
that bring us to the place
where we should have been all along.
A river is a place where water gathers
as it flows down from the mountains,
existing in dryness,
waiting for the rain or snow melt.
I have dug a channel
so the words can flow
through me to the bottom,
Where they pool, reflecting
The waves of life
that move around me.
On the way to the ocean
the river stays here.
in the flat lands,
winding this way and that,
pushed, flat to the earth,
through the vast swaying grass
The wind rushes above tumbling
ice and vapor, beyond the horizon,
full of potential creation and destruction
bound in chaotic chains of motion.
