Great Is The Sun [NIC and the TEXMEX SHAMAN] by TexMex Shaman published on 2021-11-07T16:34:02Z Here's another cool composition that @nic_nic_nic Nic sent over for me to color on. Like Vast Fields and Torres Strait, it's got an understated moody kinda vibe to it. This one really grew each time one of us would touch the project. It's been fun to hear it evolve over the past month or so. It's a 12 minute plus commitment should you choose to make it, but hopefully you'll find it musically interesting throughout. Nic likened it to a big Italian meal with lots of delicious side dishes. I thought that was appropriate. So check out "Great is the Sun" and if you like it, take a listen to Vast Fields and Torres Strait Also don't miss "bow" - one of my tracks that Nic did vocals for. https://soundcloud.com/texmex-shaman/bow-collab-with-nic-and-tms Music: nic and TexMex Shaman Lyrics: Robert Louis Stevensson Great is the sun, and wide he goes Through empty heaven without repose; And in the blue and glowing days More thick than rain he showers his rays. Though closer still the blinds we pull To keep the shady parlour cool, Yet he will find a chink or two To slip his golden fingers through. The dusty attic spider-clad, He, through the keyhole, maketh glad; And through the broken edge of tiles, Into the laddered hay-loft smiles. Meantime his golden face around He bares to all the garden ground, And sheds a warm and glittering look Among the ivy's inmost nook. Above the hills, along the blue, Round the bright air with footing true, To please the child, to paint the rose, The gardener of the World, he goes.
