By far the biggest undertaking i've made; a 6 section song lasting 11:11. A rhythmic being at 120Bpm, metamorphing from Ambient to Hypnotic at times and settling back to hopefully just being Enlightening as it encompases your whole being. At lea

About the song
Introduction

At first gentle rainfallthe heavens in touch with Earth..Thunder and the Gods talk..natures life giving force pouring down until finally the Sun has a say..twinkling through the clouds at first, accompanied by the beautiful Rainbow..does anyone else feel enchanted, or like chanting?

Give thanks to the Gods for providing this life force and the lands upon which we reside amongst everything we shall ever need, but must always care for.

Earth From which, everything grows
Wood - The food from which we all did begin
Fire Changes all as it burns, moves and glows
Water essence of life and all thats livin
Metal With the power to change all as it flows
Air Found everywhere and in Everythin

In ancient times, Air was not considered as its own element, for it is concealed within the other 5. Today we not only have only 4 substances we name as the elements, but because we include Air in its own right, we have in fact forgotten two of the most precious core essences we need to survive on this Earth. The Ancient peoples of this precious planet understood far more than we ever will if we continue as we are.


Music for the Mayans Eyes

As one season ends, another always begins, this is Life.

Waiting for that sun to shine, they all hope the rains will end finally this year, as the winter has pushed on through to almost the 6 month again this year. The tribesman gather in the rain, knowing rather than hoping, that today will be the start of spring and as those rains which have constantly fallen since the onset of an early winter, they will at last give way to the sun, and the heat that the earth below surely needs. Every man, woman and child make their way together to the top of their sacred mountain, where they always stand only ever as a Brotherhood. This time it is in order to see this winters edge being left completely behind them and to ask their Mother to provide them now with the warmth they seek. For the first time in the 1000 years they have called this place home, the look to ceremonies of old to save their land.

Section 1: 00:00 to 2:15
Standing together in a circle that fills the huge flat mountain top, they begin to hum a tune and with this, gently raise their arms up from their sides until they each feel the touch of a Brothers limb beside them. Taking each others open hand and holding lightly, they continue lifting them towards the cloud base which has covered the Earth since before their fathers first steps here and with eyes closed they all tilt their heads back until facing those clouds and the invigorating rainfall. With their energy increasing as they begin to become one, the air heats up around them and as it too rises, so the thunder increases.

Although loving every minute of this beautiful storm, they all realise just how important its ending is to their own survival and the many land species that they share this small piece of earth with. As they relax into an even deeper state, as passed down to them by fathers passed, they knowingly allow nature to take them within her fold ever deeper and with their arms still high above them, their skyward facing expressions of peace become soaked in the little droplets as they take in natures wonder of life; Rain and its life enhancing properties. Their sweet humming gains in volume, rising upwards with the heat created and the vibrations of sound spread slightly out but ever upwards and towards the rain filled clouds; it now begins

Section 2: 2:15 to 4:15
Their spirits now joining like that of their hands, the power of a people as one can be seen as slowly but surely the downpour begins to lighten and the first rays of a new spring can be felt. Sunlight begins to gaze through the small cracks now appearing in the cloud base and starts to warm the spots of the mountain peak it touches and with it, also those tribesmen stood between that Earth and Air. Rains falling still, it too seemingly takes hands with the suns golden rays and Rainbows sparkle about the mountain peak and the people stood there.

Section 3: 4:15 to 6:10
As the energy of the clansmen continues to grow in stature, winds created by it, begin to blow the storm away, slowly at first and as the magnificence of the sun begins to appear from behind the clouds, they too glow with the back-lightings raw power and with its dawning, the heat rises ever further.

The power of mans mind and spirit continues to lift with that of the suns wonderful heat, as they have always truly believed it would, and the unseen thermals begin to spin and create a gentle but effective whirlwind. As one the heat and wind now join to take that next step and imitating that of the people as they too work together as one to create that thing which was better for them all.

They all stand together as the Suns twinkles gracefully become full blown life giving rays of warmth, which when mixed so wondrously with the thirst quenching water that they had been collecting during winters all to long a haul, would now offer life to all around for many moons to come. All about the Gathering grows; the vegetation stretches its leaves as sunlight hits them, the animals who are part of the balance here now know that the time of petty survival comes to an end and indeed, the peoples understanding of being part of that balance has truly become even greater after hearing their fathers words and seeing its true consequence.

Reaching for the sky with outstretched limbs, they breathe fully for the first time in their lives.

Section 4 6:10 to 8:30
Night arrives as day gives way, but the heat that fought so hard for control of the seasons continues on, as does their celebration of summers finally dawning. Celebrations of thanks to their Mother and her loving ways continue on into the night, under the light of a full moon. Their thanks not only as individuals, but as one can be felt in the air as a peaceful but happy balance of harmony, like two same numbers either side of a point signifying that although something is present, balance is not affected in any way; e.g. 1:1, 9:9 or even 11:11 or 12:12, the end is limitless, but balance of all things is a must that would ensure survival of many species, not just us.
Section 5 8:30 to 9:30
As one the Mayan people have succeeded in bringing about a seasonal change; now understanding that We is a far greater force than the I and every member of the tribe wholeheartedly believing in the good of The All, as opposed to even Them All. As they now join not only as a tribe, but also a part of their Mother Earth, the planetary system in which she lives protected from many harms and also knowingly part of the whole of everything they suddenly feel a huge upwards rise in the energy they had managed to create on this magnanimous day.

Section 6 9:30 to end
In a slowly lit flash , beginning as each family member realises this truth and what they have achieved this day, they are pulled clear of the encumbrance of their material bodies and as one, their Spirits join the Air that is everywhere on Earth. Singing and dancing throughout the night, their last night on Earth, they move anywhere they wish around their Mother Earth with but a thought and now unobstructed by their bodies and the grounding properties they were trapped in, they circumnavigate the planet to their hearts content, before leaving it completely behind and joining it fully as their essence spreads throughout the known and unknown that is All.

Modern Man best get his act together!
