MUSIC THEME: DEATH AND REBIRTH

Today’s music theme was picked by Maddie and she has chosen Death and Rebirth.

Lets start with Shakespeare’s Sister : The video shows the fight between life and death….. who will win!

_________________________________________________

The Morrígan (“phantom queen”) or Mórrígan (“great queen”), also written as Morrígu or in the plural as Morrígna, and spelled Morríghan or Mór-ríoghain in Modern Irish, is a figure from Irish mythology who appears to have been considered a goddess, although she is not explicitly referred to as such in the texts.

The primary themes associated with the Morrígan are battle, strife, and sovereignty. She sometimes appears in the form of a crow, flying above the warriors, and in the Ulster Cycle she also takes the forms of an eel, a wolf and a cow. She is generally considered a war deity comparable with the Germanic Valkyries, although her association with a cow may also suggest a role connected with wealth and the land.

She is often depicted as a trio of individuals, all sisters.^[1]^[2]^[3] Although membership of the triad varies, the most common combinations are Badb, Macha and Nemain,^[4] or Badb, Macha and Anand; Anand is also given as an alternate name for Morrigu.^[5] Other accounts name Fea, and others.^{[4] you can read more here}

I have written two poems about The Irish Goddess of Death and Rebirth Morrigan

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MORRIGAN

Oh! the beauty of Morrigan the phantom Queen.

Goddess of War and Sex the most enchanting woman you have seen.

Secretly she flies with ravens and crows

She is happier in their company than that of any man she knows.

Riding her white steed across the sky at night

She will find a hero and bind him to her tight.

By the joys of sex she will empower him and be he knave or king

With the memory of her love he will surge into battle and he will win.

Through the seasons the crows carry her name she has shapes times three .

Which one will she chose to show which one will she be.

A crone at the village fair

Making jewellery for the young maids to wear in their hair.

A comely maid in spring may make a young king’s heart sing.

His soul to her is lost she will sate his lust.

Then empower him and he in battle will win.

Then will come the day when she will ensure he has to pay.

A woman in full bloom all curves and charms

Will welcome the knight into her arms

And teach him things he could never have known.

He will awake to find her flown

Leaving feathers on the pillow. Outside his window he will hear the harsh crow song.

All men who have been visited by her will triumph at their cause ,

Then at their death bed she will return and the mystery’s of life she will unravel then his life she will pause.
The old the young the one carrying new birth .And so the three in one travel this earth

Spreading their magic along their way

Crows and ravens by night and a woman by day.

Morrigan phantom Queen

Goddess of War and Sex the most enchanting woman you have seen.

Secretly she flies with ravens and crows

She is happier in their company than that of any man she knows.

Morrigan Nightmare of the rebirth of the dead.

Dark and stormy full of dread

On the grey waters black of heart and dress of red.

Sullen feeling filled her soul

As the wind whipped up her dress and let fly her hair black as coal.

In the sky over head weaved her Raven broad of wing and sharp of eye

Black and shiny against a grey unholy sky.

Waters broke about her feet,

Icy cold but to her sweet.

She is the rebirth of the dead

She is the one on which all darkness is fed.

Slowly as the thunder clashed

She turned to face me and an evil light in her eyes flashed.

Reaching out her hand to me

She gently cooed that she had come to set me free.

Relinquish all of you that is good give in to me

Relax, release I am here to set you free.

No I screamed I will not bow to you, I am not such easy prey

Here I stand and here I shall stay

Do what ever you have come to do.

Angry now she motioned to her raven down,

He swooped at speed. So fast was he and noisy too.

His warning screech I did not heed

In he came with talons long and beak razor sharp on my face to feed.

my eyes so bright

That was how I lost my sight,

It was wrench from me that dark grey night .

Still I was steadfast I stood my ground

Though her raven ripped at me and threw my flesh all around.

I would not give into the dead

I uttered every prayer I had ever said.

Finally in the cold light of dawn

I found myself on the shore lost and forlorn.

Pained and I could see no more.

Music Theme : Time

Lisa chose the music theme TIME for this week, which she posted in a TIMELY manner on her blog, giving us all plenty of TIME to prepare. Yet timely or not I am late!

When we are young we think we will life forever! we think we are invincible.We have a lot to learn.

Time is on my side The Rolling Stones

We can find ourselves caught up in a time warp!

time warp

Metronome Tick Tock

Sitting on the Piano top is the metronome

Guiding you unable to stop music in your home

Tick! Tock! Tick !Tock! you must never cease

Making music as the notes bring you release

So in syncopating trance you are hypnotized

Tick! Tock ! your music is highly prized.

Music is a guiding light and it leads you

Up on to a new height, timing good and true

Bish bash! Bish bash hit those keys keeping music coming

you always have a crowd to please, high low keep them humming

Great rhythm belting out hear that appreciative shout so

Bish bash! Hit those keys watch the metronome and follow.

Time after time we make the same mistakes, we do the same things over

Time after Time.

time after time Cyndi Lauper

Then the special days, hatching , matchings and despatching’s! Special times

Party times, family times happy times!!

Chawki Time of our Lives

Then suddenly you realize you are not immortal, you are not invincible !

Jim Croce Time in a bottle

Time runs out……….

Race of life ,passing of time.

Clock face out of pace , time flies its a race.

Tick tock out of space turn and run fall from grace.

Time flies, crooks and spies . Dead bodies fester maggots and blue flies.

Life comes life goes death travels on, no one knows where he goes.

Tick tock ,plip plop dripping tap racing clock. Watch your toes on the starting block.

Peddle peddle wheels go round changing gears drowns the sound

Of horses hoofs on the ground.

Big eyes tell lies, open mouths catch flies. Death lives time flies!

Oh if only you could turn back time…………..

Clocks ColdPlay

The Scientist ColdPlay

And now my time has run out because time is a thief!

Time theif

Time is now, there is neither past nor future.

We stand here in the moment. We can’t go back and rewrite what has gone before.

There is no way that we can influence what is to come. “What” I hear you say. “We can plan, we can organize.”

You are fooling yourselves you may be able to influence some things but not the important.

Take your chance now. “Do not put off to tomorrow that which can be done today.”

A truer statement has not been made. Don’t let the future rob you of the now.

Do not let the past wrap you up in remorse, regret or even yearning.

It is gone and never will return, if you are lucky it may have taught you something.

The future is a thief, beware it does not steal your chance to do things. It robs by slight and stealth. Tomorrow I will meet you, tomorrow I will come, I won’t forget to ring you but yet tomorrow never comes.

I wish I had, if only, if only once again it’s gone and past and all that lasts is eternal pain.

The lessens are there for learning and once we really look the lines are clear the pages open so take a close, close look my dear.

Music theme : Spite…

Johnny had chose SPITE for the Music Theme for this week. woow that is a mean and a hard theme to tackle and of course I am very late I do hope not too late to join in!

Spite is a many headed monster it can manifest itself in many places in fact in every part of our lives. There is physical spite and mental spite, each as cruel as the other. Spite can hit at any age it is usually born of jealousy or hate usually when it comes down to it jealousy and a feeling of being done down or out done of something, that will fit the bill.

There is spite between children, pinching, poking and much worse, bullying, lying and so on. It get worse when you grow up there can be spite at work, spite at home . People will knowingly hold you back, make your life difficult lie about you . Spite in couples can be even worse it can destroy everyone in the relationship even if there are children things can be even worse!

SPITE

Nasty, vicious , hurtful spitting fire

Enjoying every drop of pain your actions inspire.

Planing nasty things behind my back

Enjoying the horror in me when you attack

I can play that game too

There are lots of things I can do to you !

I can call you names and brake your possessions

I lay you bare and divulge all your obsessions.

But you always have the upper hand

You can hurt me with a look or word , you need nothing grand.

I guess I am just a slave to you

We are both slaves to the spite we do.

Music Themes : Purpose!

Maddie chose the music theme PURPOSE for this week and Eva is back! and I am late!

Now what purpose shall we go for first! Well Imogen wants to escape from the pressures of life and go back to childhood! we all often get that nasty feeling that we do not belong and that we need to escape!

Then one morning you wake up and you realize your whole life has to change and the relationship you are in just has to end! You need to find and put purpose into your life!

Another life changing purpose is the need to take life by the hand and make it a better place for everyone.

The main purpose in life is progress, I add this video because I just just love the excitement and life it exudes! Love them or hate them Take That are just a life force they have so much talent and live they are as good as their best recording!

And finally the purpose of life……….. is there anything more important?

The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes

There’s a hole in my soul like a cavity
Seems the world is out to gather just by gravity
The wheel keeps turning the sky’s rearranging
Look my son the weather is changing

I’d like to feel that you could be free
Look up at the blue skies beneath a new tree
Sometime again
You’ll turn green and the sea turns red
My son I said the power of reflections over my head
The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes

We sang about the sun and danced among the trees
And we listened to the whisper of the city on the breeze
Will you cry in the most in a lead-free zone
Down within the shadows where the factories drone
On the surface of the wheel they build another town
And so the green come tumbling down
Yes close your eyes and hold me tight
And I’ll show you sunset sometime again

The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes
As a child solemn pray my hope hides in disguise
While satellites and cameras watch from the skies
An acid drop of rain recycled from the sea
It washed away my shadow burnt a hole in me
And all the king’s men cannot put it back again
But the ghetto sun will nurture life
And mend my soul sometime again

The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes Massive Attack

MUSICAL THEME : RENDEZOUS

Well I thought I just might gatecrash the Musical Theme this week which was chosen by Bear . The title of which today is RENDEZOUS.

A rendezous,

1. A meeting at a prearranged time and place. See Synonyms at engagement.

2. A prearranged meeting place, especially an assembly point for troops or ships.

3. A popular gathering place: The café is a favorite rendezvous for artists.

4. Aerospace The process of bringing two spacecraft together.

tr. & intr.v. ren·dez·voused (-v

), ren·dez·vous·ing (-v

ng), ren·dez·vous (-v

)

To bring or come together at a rendezvous.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. an agreement to meet at a certain time and place.

2. the meeting itself.

3. a place designated for a meeting or assembling, as of troops.

4. a meeting of two or more spacecraft in outer space.

5. a popular gathering place.

Lindisfarne Meet me on the corner : A perfect example of a rendezous . “Meet me on the corner when the sun is going down and I’ll be there I promise I’ll be there. ” Time and place and expectations.

The Failed rendezous , the broken date. There on time and waiting excitedly …. sadly the boy is waiting in vane. For whatever reason the girl does not turn up. Has something happened to her, has she met someone else, has she been forbidden to go by an angry parent. Is she a married woman or a girl with a boyfriend who has stopped her from keeping her rendezous, we will never know.

Sandy Shaw Girl Don’t Come

The Rendezous, the place to meet. “ We all have friends who have friends by the river, who too have friends who have friends of their own. All seated round having Port after dinner. Port that was bought by the friends they have known.” The river being the place to be, the rendezous to meet friends and eat together.

Arrival Friends

The Chance meeting that leads to a rendezous.

“Rendezvous where to my place say 2 & we can do anything you wanna do. Hey, tonight is your night yeah, When you close your eyes, take a minute, take a moment realise. Do you see me when you fantiasise.Tonight’ll be your night”

Craig David….. Rendezous
