Sing through seas

Posted by bryanzug - 2010/09/26

Far too far for us to wander
Will this tempest last much longer?
Much too much for us to weather
Sink or swim we’ll go together

Without warning without reason
Out of breath and out of season
Summer rain and Winter warming
Hold on tight the worst is forming

Far Too Far, Stenobot (with Jeff Suffering)

Roo & Tug —

I am up early and find myself weeping for someone I’ve never met — A baby who was due to meet their mom and dad right about now.

It’s one of those times —

when words

fall

so very

short.

: : :

Sometimes I encounter these situations where the only response that feels remotely appropriate is a deep, ground shaking, visceral reaction — These moments where my heart cries out and my eyes leak.

At times, this is a response of great sorrow. At others, it is a response of great joy.

And the only thing I know to do in these moments is sing.

So that’s what I do.

: : :

Through grief,

Through joy,

I stand on cliffs and sing out storms.

Through famines,

Through feasts,

I cling to a staff that sings through seas.

The soundtrack this morning comes in the form of Stenobot from our friends Andy and Mr. Jeff.

That song, Far Too Far, is an electronica ass kicking wail — a gut wrench mnemonic reminder that midnight is where these days begin.

I won’t be hitting shuffle any time soon.

Go click play on that track right now.

Can you feel it?

My hunch is —

This is what it looks like to mourn and rejoice with those who.

If I were you, I would practice singing like this whenever possible.

Much love —

Daddio

Far too far for us to wander
Will this tempest last much longer?
Much too much for us to weather
Sink or swim we’ll go together

Without warning without reason
Out of breath and out of season
Summer rain and Winter warming
Hold on tight the worst is forming

Bracing for the Western Wind
Torn apart and wearing thin
Take me away

To the edge and back again
No beginning and no end
Take me away

Fight the storm from deep inside us
’til the chaos has subsided
Come tomorrow hope will find us
Breaking over the horizon

Conquering the Western Wind
To the edge and back again
