Whose is the Name That I Will Call?

Stand here and name the one you loved
Beneath the drifting ashes
And, in naming, rise above time
As it, flashing, passes


For some reason, Joanna Newsom is just outside the frame, behind the harp, but that doesn't so much matter. I love the way the song keeps both reinventing itself and returning to what's been left behind. I love the way it uses disjunction--hear it break from one key to the other, one time signature to the next--to get the work done. Animation, inspiration, and the unseen: all here, as if coming from someplace wilder than Joanna Newsom, which is probably why I keep coming back to this song.

is that background the first unitarian in philly? looks verrrry familar.

(that's my spam-free contribution to your blog for today).

I don't know why I thought this was Boston, Jayme, but you'd know better than I. I think this entire concert is posted on YouTube in segments. The individual songs, as you know, are so long that they require two parts.

i looked up the tourdate-it was at the first unitarian church in philly, aka my favorite venue around. i'm sure it was a beautiful show.

That's great to know--thanks. I'll think about it differently now. In my old part of the forest.
