Adesso sono un'ombra

The Story of Music: A Chronicle of Resonance

The impulse began, as all things do, from a foundational state of near-silence.

Not a void, mind you. A state of potential.

A world teeming with vibration, but lacking organization.

Consider the cave: a resonating chamber.

Water dripping, wind sighing… these were the first notes.

Not "music" as we understand it, but precursors.

The potential for pattern was always present.

Leonard Cohen / Jack Vettriano | Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the wedding now

dance me on and on dance me very tenderly

and dance me very long we’re both of us beneath our love

we’re both of us above

dance me to the end of love
