A tower held in the sky
Hear there, in that dark blue night
The music calling us home
See there, in that far-off field
Flowers turned to the sky
Feel there, in that dark blue night
The music calling us home
Stars may always guide our way,
From desert sands where winds blow harsh and long
But here's where our hearts will pray
And all our loves will slumber with a song
Stars may always guide our way,
From desert sands where the winds blow harsh and long
But here's where our hearts will pray
And all our loves will slumber with a song
So now, if our hearts be true
And like a pool of truth reflect the sun
We will find right honour there
And keep us safe and lead us from all harm
Then come love, let us dance all night
Until birds they waken at the dawn
Then come love, let us sing all night
And all our loves will slumber with a song
Then come love, let us dance all night
Until birds they waken at the dawn
Then come love, let us sing all night
And all our loves will slumber with a song
This song has a great vibe whatever the origin. Was a common tract on prior RP. Nice to hear again.
I Agree! Thanx RP!
Thank YOU for posting the lyrics!
This is Turkish, not Greek, and neither Turks or Greeks do belly dancing, which is more a Middle East Arabic tradition. Look, there is something farther than your local Walmart Superstore and the big blue pond.
FALSE
I've been to Turkey many times over 30 years
There is plenty of belly dancing in Turkey - there used to be a belly dancing channel on Turkish TV
[I suspect Erdogan has closed it down]
She has played Istanbul a number of times - regrettably, I always seem to miss it
There is a good video of her performance at the Alhambra

Sounds as if you have your simile out of place.

Lovely song, beautiful voice. Thank you, Bill!
Thank you for the lyrics!
yes, one day they'll drop an atomic bomb on someone!
That was a real ignorant thing to say
yes, one day they'll drop an atomic bomb on someone!
It's called "organized religion".
I couldn't agree more! Just so her live at the Royal Albert Hall this year it was an amazing experience !
She's actually Canadian
In this, she is similar to Dead Can Dance.
Count your blessings!
Agree. but "Old Age" just brings up visions of Laurence Welk.

Your chalk my cheese - I think she has an incredibly beautiful voice.
"'"Once upon a time, somebody say to me'
(This is the dog talkin' now)
"What is your, conceptual, continuity?"
"...'The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe'
Well you know, the man (that was talking to the dog)
looked at the dog, and he said, sort of staring in disbelief
'You can't say that'
"...Ain't this boogie a mess?"
I am forced to agree, it is a mess.
Maybe. Maybe not. You can patronize anyone of half a dozen Greek restaurants in Detroit's Greektown which feature belly dancing. It may be a Middle Eastern tradition, but it seems to have been adopted.
kinda cool music, imo (a way, way long time ago in Williamsburg-Greenpoint there was a tiny restaurant on the corner of Kent Ave. and N 11th St. called Sunshine, and they had a belly-dancer perform for you as you had brunch : )
Noice! Always wanted to do some cycling there.
thanks Bill!
...likewise, i've patronised more than one greek restaurant operated by first-generation immigrants which featured belly dancers as regular entertainment...still, despite the considerable cuisine and cultural overlap, one would be well-advised not to conflate greece with turkey in the presence of hosts from either country...
Do you want her to have your baby?
This song is groovy... love it... hope you have a spring in your step this winter night, friend...

I like the Celtic songs more than the Arabic ones...
I would expect to like the Celtic ones better, but I really like the Arabic ones more.

It's very compelling to listen then seek more....
I've seen her twice or 3 times now, and it's an AMAZING show every time.
Welcome to Costco. I love you Welcome to Costco. I love you Welcome to Costco. I love you Welcome to Costco. I love you
Idioacracy was a fantastically funny (and mind numbingly horrifying) movie. What makes it all worse is the fact that I know people like that!
Except for that unfortunateness with the Armenians (and Greeks).
Should one of us call social services?
Watch the bass and sub-woofer on the children. The odd friend of mine can play music loud enough to compensate for damaged hearing. Beyond "filling the room". Asking them to turn it down is like asking a tobacco addict to smell fine food or pick up a wild animal in the bush. Cognitive impairment.
I am one of those rare tobacco addicts who can smell fine food and a fart at 20 paces. Not going there with picking up wild animals but I can say one of the reason I still smoke is that if I didn't I most probably could not stand to be near any un-showered peeps, anytime, anywhere.
That said, great tune !!!!!!!!!!!!

This is incorrect information. Please expand your research.
The transition to this tune from the other "set" of music behind this one . . . on this day, elevates my like of Loreena and "Gates" today. Thanks Bill
true that!

You wish.
This is Turkish at its finest ;)
Whoo! You go, Fancy!

Thanks and sound advice. My kids are actually over 19 and likely doing more damage to their hearing with the ipods! I have tried social services - they won't take em. They listen to RP so I have to add - just kidding they are keepers.

You have RP played on your employer's office speakers? Woah! Cool employer, dude! What are you complaining about?
Dude! :(
Yes, well, you've certainly proven yourself an expert in THAT.
Although in trying to be objective, I do hear some of the songs on An Ancient Muse written in similar keys and with similar melody lines as others on previous albums. But when I dive further into the inspiration behind the songs and the stories they tell, I realize that sounding similar isn't as relevant to the creativity and integrity of her music as is the passion, intelligence, and insight.
With the knowledge and understanding of history, culture, and how the two have interacted and shaped each other over the last several thousand years, I think she should sit in some advisory capacity to governments. *grin* Or, to the very least, teach a Masters course at a university.
It's unfortunate that some folks chalk up her music to spacey/new-agey/crystal-buying fluff. By dismissing it and not bothering to investigate further, they miss an opportunity to discover something about the past of our world, and in some respects, how we came to be where we are.
And if you've bothered to read this far, thanks. ;)
Great thoughtful post!
For me any opportunity to witness this fact is, at least, wonderful.
Now for contrast, how 'bout some 'white boy/gal' music?
Ah, Bobby you say...............................!

So boring - I give it an 8.
