CAT STEVENS – THE BOY WITH A MOON AND STAR ON HIS HEAD (“…and love it’s all”, he said)

A gardener’s daughter stopped me on my way, on the day I was to wed
It is you who I wish to share my body with she said
We’ll find a dry place under the sky with a flower for a bed
And for my joy I will give you a boy with a moon and star on his head.

Her silver hair flowed in the air laying waves across the sun
Her hands were like the white sands, and her eyes had diamonds on.
We left the road and headed up to the top of the Whisper Wood
And we walked ’till we came to where the holy magnolia stood.

And there we laid cool in the shade singing songs and making love…
With the naked earth beneath us and the universe above.
The time was late my wedding wouldn’t wait I was sad but I had to go,
So while she was asleep I kissed her cheek for cheerio.

The wedding took place and people came from many miles around
There was plenty merriment, cider and wine abound
But out of all that I recall I remembered the girl I met
‘Cause she had given me something that my hear could not forget.

A year had passed and everything was just as it was a year before…
As if was a year before…
Until the gift that someone left, a basket by my door.

And in there lay the fairest little baby crying to be fed,
I got down on my knees and kissed the moon and star on his head.
As years went by the boy grew high and the village looked on in awe
They’d never seen anything like the boy with the moon and star before.

And people would ride from far and wide just to seek the word he spread
I’ll tell you everything I’ve learned, and Love is all…he said.

Anton Bruckner (1824)

Bruckner was an Austrian composer who established a reputation as a virtuoso organist in Vienna. However, as a composer, he gained recognition slowly. He was 60 before he achieved fame with his 1884 Symphony No. 7 in E Major, one of nine that he completed. Socially awkward and eccentric, he developed a pattern of courting much younger women without success. Bruckner once accidentally alienated an influential critic after getting mixed up in a feud between what two famous composers? More… Discuss

The Ogdoad

The Ogdoad of Egyptian mythology was a group of eight deities worshipped in ancient Hermopolis. They were arranged in four female-male pairs, with each pair representing the female and male aspects of one of four basic concepts. Together, the concepts were thought to have been the basis for the creation of the world. According to mythology, an unbalanced interaction between the four pairs resulted in the creation of a cosmic egg from which the sun god hatched. What were the four basic concepts? More… Discuss

TIME IN A BOTTLE JIM CROCE WITH LYRICS

Songwriters: CROCE, JAMES

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I’d like to do
Is to save every day
Till Eternity passes away
Just to spend them with youIf I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I’d save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I’ve looked around enough to know
That you’re the one I want to go
Through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I’ve looked around enough to know
That you’re the one I want to go
Through time with
