Ghost Train Orchestra & Kronos Quartet
"High on a Rocky Ledge (feat. Marissa Nadler)"
A film by Jenni Hensler
Songs and Symphoniques: The Music of Moondog features brilliant new re-imaginings of the music of Louis Hardin, aka Moondog, the blind composer who lived on the streets of Manhattan and became known in the 1960s as “the Viking of Sixth Avenue” for his striking appearance. His beautiful and haunting music was an inspiration to Philip Glass and Steve Reich, who called him “the godfather of minimalism.” Songs and Symphoniques features a diverse cast of special guests, and showcases the work of five arrangers from Ghost Train Orchestra, all digging deep to revitalize Moondog’s uplifting message for a new generation.

Love it !!! I'm a Psychic TV friend of Marissa's. I remember seeing Moondog on the street in 1969 on my very first family trip to NYC when I was a little boy. We went to Radio City Music Hall to see the Steve McQueen movie BULLIT and I have a distant memory of seeing that crazy guy with the viking costume on, on the sidewalk.
Hi, I also like Moondog. And what about RIO music?
Truly lovely, and such wonderful music as well.
I just discovered Moondog. I love his original version, and this is just gorgeous.
Wow Marissa's voice and style are always soo ethereal. She's just phenomenal in everything she does :)
Mesmerizing as ever ✨
Awesome! It reminds me the "Picnic At Hanging Rock" Atmosphere!
High on a rocky ledge lives a Mädel, Edelweiß
Shy as a shadow, lovely as lace, and cold as ice
High on a rocky ledge, I pledge my love to her
Ev'ry time I climb up to Paradise
How many times I've been up to see her, goodness knows
Huffing and puffing, dressed in the warmest climbing clothes
How many chances would be taken in my
Hopeless pursuit of the Schnee-Mädel-Edelweiß
Then spoke a spirit, "If you would win your Lady Love
There's only one way: fall to your death from high above
You will begin to grow in snow beside the one
You have waited for to be mated with"
Now, I'm an Edel, vice to my Mädel, Edelweiß
Dying to be with her wasn't any sacrifice
We're so deliriously happy on our ledge
Where I pledge my love to my Lady Fair
You who are climbing breathless to see me and my love
Snow flowers growing fonder on Lover's Ledge above
If you've the yen to pluck, then pluck us both
For we who have lived as one wish to die as one
This is absolutely stunning.
I'm a big fan of Moondog. This version makes me very emotional cause this is one of my favorite songs of his. So touching and moving.
Dazzling as usual, love you from my heart, Marissa ⭐
I really really like this. Very well done, excited to hear the whole album now!
