MY TAKE; doses of Wild YAM : Menoizikul; Midweek Musicalisms

This is the last of the Greek musical Odyssey in October. The three artists featured all knew each other. Demis sang with Nana on her show a few times. But in his earlier career, it was with Vangelis that he shared the stage. They formed the group Aprhodite's Child and are renowned for pressing forward the Progressive Rock movement... "sounding like Pink Floyd before PF!" The compositional genius came from Vangelis, and the iconic sound was from DR.

I saw the souls

I saw the martyrs

I heard them crying

I heard them shouting

They were dressed in white

They'd been told to wait

The sun was black

The moon was red

The stars were falling

The earth was trembling

And then a crowd

Impossible to number

Dressed in white

Carrying palms

Shouted amid

The hotless sun

The lightless moon

The windless earth

The colourless sky

They'll no more suffer from hunger

They'll no more suffer from thirst

I opted for this aetherial piece because, well, it's spooky month! The ode to the ancestors and the video of DR walking among them by the shores of the ancient sea suit Halloween vibes. Do you agree?

Well yes, spooky I guess. But still doesn't really grab me, this music.

the walk among the tombstones is very appropriate for this season, and it is a tad spooking, even the close up of his face. that said, he is a handsome devil.

SPOOKY indeed...I recall my Mama saying when she was a child they were told NEVER ever to walk on graves...so they played hopscotch over the graves...

Terrific shots in your Nature Friday post! I LOVE the micro and macro views and how green everything is (we are still baked yellow from the long hot summer!). We have not had the fall rains like we usually do. And the forests are extremely dry! And the spooky video, it spoke to me! Gotta love it!
Recovery from the leg break will be slow. They added 3 extra weeks of no weight bearing on my left leg because my femur is "soft" from the bone infection (sigh). So it looks like I will be learning how to walk again, travelling to the town 45 kms away when the roads are icy and snowy. The benefit is - I won't be able to shovel the stuff this year (big cheers from me!)
