New Music: Mercury's Song

Posted on Jan 12th, 2007 by Phil : Teacher Phil
Mercury
Update: This track is now finished and can be purchased here!

Having announced my new album recently, I wanted to start putting out some previews of the tracks on a regular basis.  Since the album was partly insipred by the Zaadz people and their actions, I wanted to collaborate with several poets on each of the tracks.  I was moved by some of Peggy J's writing when composing my track Legacy, so I sent her the sample clip below and asked her if she'd like to draw upon it for poetic inspiration...

She came up with this beautiful poem:

SPIRAL DANCING IN THE RAIN


Arms stretched wide
twirling - twirling

Bare feet Dancing
Splashing - Splashing

I AM SINGING MY LOVE FOR GOD!

Moving in rhythm with
Sun, Moon, Stars

Zip-zipping along to Mercury's song
Steady and sure in Jupitor's hummm

I am Singing
Singing
My Love for God!

I am Singing
Singing
My Love for God!

Arms stretched wide
Twirling- Twirling


Bare feet dancing

Splashing - Splashing


I am Singing

Dancing

My way to God!

~PJ

(If you are a Zaadz poet and would like to be involved with a track from the forthcoming album, let me know!)

Oh, I just adore this!  Very moving, kind of like a plant opening up, blossoming, reaching, expanding, … The vocals are excellent.  I love the string lines, and then the piano over the top… Awesome!

Uh, yayuh! This beat is hot. I love the phased-out synth action you've got going on. I didn't know you had the skizilliz like this Phil….ya know, being a Texans fan and all.

I try my best Obi, but I'm no Uberman!  Synth was inspired by my man Peter Gabriel who is even more groovin' in his old age than his Sledgehammer days.

Texans are a mess!  If Peyton gets his head out, they should do well!
