"The Flower That Shattered the Stone" - John Jarvis
"The Flower That Shattered the Stone" - John Jarvis
from "Whatever Works" (1988) - MCAD-6263
Lyrics by Joe Henry; music by John Jarvis.
LYRICS:
The Earth is our mother just turning around
With her trees in the forest and roots underground
Our father above us whose sigh is the wind
Paint us a rainbow without any end
As the river runs freely the mountain does rise
Let me touch with my fingers and see with my eyes
In the hearts of the children a pure love still grows
Like a bright star in heaven that lights our way home
Like the flower that shattered the stone
Sparrows find freedom beholding the Sun
In the infinite beauty we're all joined in one
I reach out before me and look to the sky
Did I hear someone whisper, did something pass by
As the river runs freely the mountain does rise
Let me touch with my fingers and see with my eyes
In the hearts of the children a pure love still grows
Like a bright star in heaven that lights our way home
Like the flower that shattered the stone
Like a bright star in heaven that lights our way home
Like the flower that shattered the stone

John Barlow Jarvis has a UA-cam channel, with (as of this writing) songs from only two of his masterful albums. Keep an eye on his channel; hopefully he'll be adding more. As soon as he makes this album available on UA-cam, I'll be deleting this video.
"In 1993 he recorded his 5th album ('Balancing Acting' ) for Liberty Records, and in 2003 he recorded his 6th album ('View From a Southern Porch') for his own label, Barlotone Productions. According to two different websites (who appear to be quoting the 'View from a Southern Porch' press kit), People Magazine said 'So Fa So Good' was "the best solo piano since Keith Jarrett'.
"Time Magazine named "Whatever Works" one of the ten best popular records of 1988.
"According to Jarvis, the first four albums are out of print. The 5th and 6th are available on iTunes."

"Twopence to London Bridge" - Lynn Clayton
Переглядів 256 місяців тому
This is a fragment of Lynn Clayton's performance of the song, "Twopence to London Bridge." It appears on her 1981 self-titled LP. I've looked online for this song and album now for decades, and finally decided to put this fragment, which I'd recorded off of a Boston folk radio station, up on UA-cam. Does anyone have any information about Ms. Clayton and her music? I learn from AllMusic that she...

Saturday morning, May 20, 2023, a female mallard with 7 young ducklings came up from Diamond Springs Park into our backyard, where we've been feeding mallards bird seed for years. Thing is - she wouldn't leave! She took them back and forth to the two patios on the east & west side of our back sun room, slowly ambled with them through our flower garden, and spent most of her time snoozing with t...

    That's a crying shame about their language disappearing. I had the fortune to be raised in Montreal.... so, I had the opportunity to learn two languages straight away.... and I did. I speak, read and write three now with fluency and a fourth not as well. As my children were growing up (also in Montreal) I required them to learn both English and French and requested that they each learn a third language of their choice (seriously... if Dad can do it) and all 6 of them learned a third language! Not all the same.... but language and languages are wealth! We let them pass away at our peril.
