It has been a rough stressful week in my life or maybe in the world space in general. We are into Fall, the last complete season of the year, 2016. My life has been is a constant battle for sustaining life functions. I am comparing it the cycle of the butterfly’s transformation or change in shape, called metamorphosis.
Will there ever be peace for humanity? Miracles occur 24/7! Calling all Angels!
My Dearest Friend Angelo, brilliant DJ, reminded me of the times we shared this song together. He inspired my improvisational dance career in South Jersey. I was feeling blue and he told me I owned this song when performed. Deep emotional feelings surface down to my heart and inner soul.
Pink Floyd keyboard player Rick Wright, wrote this song, which is about life, gradually descending into death. Hence the angrier and more intense first half with a dying person refusing to “go gently into that good night.”The second half is gentler, as the dying person gives into the inevitable and fades away. In the March 1998 issue of Mojo, Wright explained: “For me, one of the pressures of being in the band was this constant fear of dying because of all the traveling we were doing in planes and on the motorways in America and in Europe.”
Earth Wind & Fire Founder Maurice White Dead at 74.
Growing up in the single digits in the 1960’s, music was my passion as I was a young dancer. Then, I became a choreographer at age 12 at my local dance studio. I had the most brilliant bands to create movement to. One of my favorites was Earth Wind & Fire which I attended their concerts at the Philly Spectrum. As I became classically trained dancer at Temple University in the mid 70’s that Philly R&B was in my blood. Remembering at the Sorority house of Alpha Gamma Delta the album would go on “That’s The Way of The World.” Brilliant reflections for my soul. Music never would have been the same without your presence. Ty so for your inspiration Maurice White. R.I.P.
