    Beautiful and intriguing. I have so many questions.

    Very nice! Keith’s cover for “Danny Boy” is awesome as well. I remember singing that at a recital when I was 12. Keith is sick with the piano. I hope to reach that level one day.

    Duncan,

    I didn’t bring my wireless headset to the library, so I can’t listen to the music and get the full experience that you intended. I hope that I can listen soon, since I’m intrigued by this multimedia post that communicates with visuals and sound instead of words.

    Since your previous post was about voices and images of trauma, I’m hoping that this is your way of working it out. I’m hoping that you are feeling lighter and that some of your burden has been lifted.

    Blessings,

    Amanda

    Duncan,

    Finally, got to hear the music and see the video clip along with trying to absorb the pictures that you posted. I’m getting such sadness. Resignation. And a strange sense of closure and hope.

    I didn’t realize that the video clip was from “The Piano” until a ways in. The sense of loss and suffering, of things ended before begun is what I’m picking up from the mixture of the music and the visuals. Her hands caressing the piano… her voice in this world. And losing it, suffering but finally regaining it in the end. The china bowl and… is it a mosaic in the last picture? Do they hold particular memories for you?

    I get the strangest feeling that this has something to do with your mother. And the title “Stillborn”… could be a love affair or a child who feels — that he was (because of being emotionally frozen all these years)/should have been (because of suffering so) — stillborn. I’m sure that there are other clips for use with the music but you chose this one. The woman hiding her face, the piano, the child almost alone on the beach….

    I know that you sing, but I don’t know if you play the piano. Regardless, I hope that you find the voice that’s been silenced. I do get a sense of hope.

    Blessings,

    Amanda
